What about if I’ve started playing on PC?
The same rules regarding the main game also apply for the DLC – if you buy the PC version, you’ll also have it available for Mac at launch. The already released DLC for Sims 4 (PC) will also be compatible with the Mac version at launch. What about the “Get to Work” and “Outdoor Retreat” game pack? Physical copies are always great for gifting, right? The folks at EA have said that if you buy the physical PC version and register the code given with Origin, you’ll have both the PC and Mac version to download (this also applies if you buy the Mac version from Origin).
That’s all well and good for those of us with superfast broadband but for others it means a painful wait. That means if you want The Sims 4 on Mac, digital download is the only way to get your hands on it. Unfortunately, there won’t be any physical copies of The Sims 4 for Mac being sold in stores.
