@kalm6321  Does your computer run Windows or macOS, and what version?  Did you buy a standalone copy of Sims 4, or a subscription to Origin Access?  Please post a screenshot of the entire Origin window with the grayed-out Play button showing.

Re: sims 4 won't work

@kalm6321  The problem is that your account has Origin Access.  Because Origin "thinks" you own the game through Access, not outright.  So you'll need to cancel your Access subscription before you can play.  Contact EA customer support for help.  Although phone calls are currently not available, live chat is open from 9 am to midnight UTC.
