Sims 4 on Mac

Hi there. 

I’m looking at buying a MacBook for work purposes but I want to do some casual gaming namely The Sims 4.

I’ve bought all the expansions and kits throughout the years, on my Origin account on my PC. Since then it’s been changed to the EA app. 
I was wondering if I download the EA app on Mac, would all my Sims games be available to download or do I have to purchase them all again? 
The MacBook that I’m looking at right now is the M3 14 inch MacBook Pro with 16GB unified memory. 

i really want to stay in the Apple ecosystem because of work. However I’m open to suggestions.

thanks in advance

    You didn’t buy a Windows game, you bought codes that work for the Windows and Mac versions of the game 🙂 also, Macs run macOS, not iOS.

    You’ll be fine so long as you didn’t buy the packs in Steam.

    EA App is not yet available for Mac so you'll still be using Origin and yes, your purchases in EA App will be available in Origin.

    The game should run great on that Mac 🙂

    @Bluebellflora Thank you so much! So even though I bought the Sims games on a Windows OS, they should work (download) onto the Mac iOS? As long as I use Origin?
    Sorry it’s my first time changing over to a Mac and with all those expansions I’ve bought. I don’t want to end up having to buy them again 😅
