Downloads won't work on Origin hi guys my wife is using Sims4 on her mac and it works fine. However recently she purchased some update and there is no way in hell to have it installed. While Origin app is open i can find expansion pack and it shows as owned. However, in order to use it i need to download it first. And this is where problems starts. When clicking download nothing happens. I've googled possible resolutions and nothing works. Tried deleting the cash, reinstalling game and Origin. Started system in safe mode. Tried root access to origin app. nothing works. Anyone had this same problem and found the solution? thanks

Which version of "The Sims" game for the Mac? Years ago I played the original version of the game "The Sims" on Windows PCs. Years later I got a copy of "The Sims 2" also for Windows PCs, but I thought this was lacking the charm of the original game, so I didn't play it much. I'd really like to play The Sims on my MacBook Air (2014) running macOS Big Sur. I see that the Appstore has "The Sims 2: Super Collection", but this doesn't say that it includes the actual base game The Sims 2. It's also by a company called Aspyr, but The Sims is by EA. I've also read something about The Sims from the company Origin. On eBay there are games called "The Sims 3" and "The Sims 4" which are described as for Mac or for PC/Mac. I'm really confused by all of the above! I can't play the original The Sims on my Mac without an emulator, because it was designed for Power PC Macs. I can't run any version that comes on DVD ROM unless I buy a USB DVD ROM for my MacBook Air (2014). My question is which version of "The Sims" should I buy for my MacBook Air (2014) and where should I buy it from?

If this is where you purchased it, then I doubt it will work. https://www.origin.com/usa/en-us/store/the-sims/the-sims-3#store-page-section-description

Anything that will work on 10.5 (Leopard) could not possibly work on 10.15.

Return it. They failed to provide adequate system requirements.
