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:

 

https://www.origin.com/irl/en-us/store/the-sims/the-sims-4#store-page-section-requirements

 

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:

 

https://www.origin.com/irl/en-us/store/great-game-guarantee-terms

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.

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?

Yes because the problem is the chrome operating system. It will not work on a chrome book. You need windows or Mac
