@KamiCatt23 Unfortunately, Origin does not support Chrome OS. If you want to play Sims 4 for PC, or the PC version of any EA title, you'll need to install it into Windows or macOS.
Since you just bought the game, you may be able to get a refund if your purchase went through Origin. Here's the EA article on refunds:

You'll need to contact EA support to make it happen.

can i play the sims 4 on my Chromebook?

@aunna_izme No, sorry, Sims 4 doesn't run in Chrome OS. Even if you managed to install Windows on your Chromebook (possible, but also a bit of an effort), the game would probably not run very well. The hardware in Chromebooks is usually below the minimum requirements for even moderately demanding games like Sims 4, and Windows laptops with similar components can only handle the game on the lowest settings, if it runs at all.

@jessc2006x I'm sorry, but Sims 4 doesn't run in Chrome OS—it requires Windows or macOS. The same goes for Origin. So there's no way for you to play the game on your Chromebook. Even if you did install Windows, your hardware would likely be below or barely at the minimum requirements for the game. Chromebooks aren't built to run even moderately demanding games like Sims 4, and Windows PCs with the same hardware struggle with the game, if they can run it at all.
