I've merged your posts into this thread. Please see the opening post on page 1 for instructions on how to purchase the game for Mac. Origin Access is a subscription service only available for Windows users.

Change of platform

★ Novice

I already have the game downloaded and all but it won't launch.

Originally, it was played on a PC computer, but I had to move and now I have my Mac Laptop. I downloaded origin and all but it says that the game is purchased for a PC platform and I need to change it to a Mac platform? 

Even though I go to the website there is no such button or anything that I can use to change the platform. What do I do?

@guillemauxn Have you used Origin Access at any point with The Sims 4?

@guillemauxn

You have already installed the game on your Mac? Or you have installed Origin on your Mac?

Greyed out play button

★★★ Newbie

I purchase Sims 4 from origin and bought the Basic subscription; downloaded the games plus add-one but my play button is still greyed out.

@bellnaomi @croscoe30

You both need to buy the game and not a subscription to Origin Access which is Windows only. Please see clear instructions in the opening post on the first page of this thread I have moved your posts to.

@Bluebellflora I already paid the $39.99 (around that price) for the game not just the subscription price. Once I downloaded the game my play button was greyed out.
