Accidentally bought Microsoft sims 4 on my mac

[ Edited ]
★★★ Newbie

Hi! 

I don't know why but I have the microsoft version. Everytime I press on ' Buy game for Mac ' it brings me to another page that doesn't give me the option to buy it. It's driving me nuts. Have been trying to get in contact with the support all day. Only says 


SOMEONE CALL TECH SUPPORT.
Oh, right. That's us! We'll get this fixed as soon as possible.

My experience so far is really bad with Origin. So disappointed.

Sims 4 unable to start without activation code?

★★★ Newbie

Paid for the monthly Origin membership which includes Sims 4. I downloaded sims 4 and then sims 4 legacy edition for my MacBook air; however, it says "To play, You must first activate the game on you EA account". I never got an activation code via email and when I click on game properties there is no access code. Can anybody help me get past this or find my activation code?

@ashleyhump It appears you're using Origin Access, which is not available on Mac. Have you bought the game outright from Origin or did you get it through Origin Access?

@EmDubuc Origin Access isn't available for Mac users (I don't understand why to be completely honest). You'd be best to buy it outright from Origin.

@EmDubuc

Merged your thread into this one. If you haven't already done so follow the instructions in the first post to actually buy the game. I've also added instructions for how to cancel the Origin Access subscription Standard smile
