Our headteacher now has an iMac (they used to teach design) And I was wondering if anyone knew an easy solution to get SIMS running on macOS. This would only need to be for a temporary period of time. I don’t really want to use Bootcamp or a full machine as I know. I can’t even get back to the point where i had the Actual Sims 3 screen. Why is this not working on my mac? Is there something I can do to fix this issue? I've already tried restarting my computer, reinstalling my computer, etc, but nothing seems to be working. Please help me, if I can't get this to work soon, I want a refund.

You see, the Mac version of The Sims 4 is currently only available in digital form. That means, if you recently went to the store to buy a physical copy, you won’t be able to use that CD to install the game. Instead, you’ll have to install Origin, and download the game from there.
First, open up Safari or your web browser of choice and head to the origin.com/download page. Click on the tiny text that says “Download for Mac” underneath the orange button.
After installing and running the application, sign into Origin using your ID and Password. If you don’t have an Origin account at this point, you’ll have no choice but to create one.
