Connect Xbox controller to Origin to play TS4

Hi there, 

I would like to know how to connect an Xbox one controller to Origin so I can play The Sims 4 on my laptop. I have a usb cord to connect my controller to my laptop, I’m not sure how to set it up on origin so I can control the game with my Xbox One controller
