The Chromebook's unique OS never caught on, and is being replaced by a more standard Android release on newer products. You will have to seek adjustment through the producer and seller.

The thing is I don't understand. My mom bought the sims 4 for me and is now ticked because she spent 45 dollars on something I can't even play.

@JESSIPAIGE24 System requirements are displayed on the game's page in the store:

As you can see, there is nothing about Android, ChromeOS, Linux or any other operating systems then Windows 7/8/8.1/10 and MacOS 10.75/10/9/higher. Sims 4 has a refund option, so if you want to know if you qualify, look at those links here:

ALWAYS look at the game's/software's system requirements to make sure that your netbook/notebook/laptop/desktop/smartphone/tablet and so on can run it.
The Chromebook may be cheap but they are not meant for actual PC gaming. Proper PC gaming is done on a performant desktop PC or a performant laptop PC. And those are not cheap. A decent desktop can be built at around 900$ (display not included). A decent laptop is around 1k $.
Chromebooks are nice for watching movies, listening music, browsing the web, or playing mobile games (IF it is a newer Chromebook model). But as for PC gaming, they are not compatible with those.
I do not work for EA and i am not associated with the company in any way. I am a player just like you, trying to help wherever i can.I will not answer to any unsolicited PM.

Welp, I was going to get a Chromebook for my birthday but it seems that it can't run nor Origin or Minecraft SO I GEUSS I CAN THROW THIS OUT THE WINDOW.

Well, that's because Sims was never meant for the Chromebook. So, I don't know why you guys are throwing a fit over this.

If I get the refund and buy the sims directly from my Chromebook on the ea website would it work then or would the same problem still occur?
