Hi @VTC-Qatar - I moved your post to the master thread on this issue. Apple dropped support for 32-bit games like SimCity, beginning with MacOS Catalina 10.15. There is more information in the First Post & accepted solution in this thread, including some options for running 32-bit games after upgrading to Catalina.

Sim City won't launch on Mac running Catalina 10.15.4. Initially, the game downloaded and worked fine but at one point, it was uninstalled and now won't install. Whenever I try to install it, the Download manager says that it is fully installed but isn' and the Game Library still says "Install Game."
What can I do? Uninstalling and installing Origin hasn't helped.

I have Catalina the most up-to-date version. It says Finalizing and nothing else. It's been doing this since yesterday when I purchased and downloaded it.

I'm having the same issue. Sim City won't launch on Mac, and I am running Catalina 10.15.4. The game was purchased but won't install. Whenever I try to install it, it states that it is installed, but the game library still says 'install game'. When I press this button, it attempts to install again but doesn't move forward. I've also tried to install and uninstall origin numerous times.
Thanks.

Agreed! If I wanted to play the offline version I'd go get the other one, but I want to team up and work on the joint cities I had created with my brother. That's kind of the whole point! Make this happen, Aspyr, EA, whomever needs to carry that out, and port the version over so we can enjoy it here as well.

I just REPURCHASED the game, and it's STILL not working. I can't contact origin right now, so im pretty upset to say the least. Hopefully I can get my money back because this is ridiculous.
