Can I download the sims on a different computer if I haven't downloaded it yet?

I bought sims 4 before realizing it only works on windows and mac (which I don't have). I'm getting a new computer in a couple months. Can I download it on my new computer once I get it since I already bought the sims on my EA account or would I have to repurchase when I want to download on my new computer?

    If the game is registered on your Origin account, you can download it to any computer from there - even many times.
    All you have to do is log in to this account where you first registered the game and download the game from there.
    You just have to remember how to log in to this account because the code once used expires.

    @kreatora I logged into my account and it says I don't have it? do I have to buy it again because I paid $50 for it when I got it a year ago and don't have any other accounts that I could have bought it on?

    You have to be sure you are on the same account where the game was registered. Use the mail address that you were using when you have created this account instead of a nickname.
