If you have bought the PC disc version you can register the product code on your Origin account.The game will now always be in your Games Library in Origin. Once purchased it should automatically install itself, if not you can click the Install button. The trial version is also for Windows users only. Please note that Origin Access is not available for Mac users, you must buy the game outright. Next find The Sims 4, pay for it and download it.This is advisable because the game installer for The Sims 4 is nearly 9Gb, that’s a big download! You can also change the file path if you want to save it in a different location. Make sure that Keep legacy game installers is turned on in the options. If you would like to keep any game installers that you download (so you don’t have to re-download them in the event of having to uninstall and reinstall your game), click on Origin > Preferences in the top menu bar then click on Installs & Saves in the Origin window.

Open Origin and log in with your EA username and password.

If your Mac tells you it can’t install it because it’s from an unidentified developer follow these steps from Apple to bypass Gatekeeper.

If you already have the PC version through Origin the Mac version will also be available to you at no extra cost. The only way to get The Sims 4 for Mac is to download it through Origin.
