To enjoy all the latest games from EA, you'll need to access this platform, through which you can comfortably buy games and download them as many times as you need to. You can also maintain a list of friends and talk to them whenever you want - even gift them games.
A great thing about Origin is that it allows you to keep everything on the Internet, so you don't have to worry if something happens to your computer. You can always go back and re-download your purchase, even starting a saved game right where you left off, since those files are stored in the cloud.
On top of everything, the platform comes with some free games so that you can start enjoying the system without even having to take out your wallet. Battlefield Heroes, Need for Speed World, and Battleforge are just some of the titles that you can play.
At the moment, Origin is not as essential as Steam. But if EA continues to make its big new releases exclusive to the platform, there's no doubt that you'll need to have it installed on your hard drive.

Q: Can OriginLab's data analysis program, Origin, run on macOS®?
I know that I need to repair my Sims 4 (I downloaded a mod, it went horribly wrong and I think I accidentally deleted some important files- I have no idea which ones); but every time I try to repair the game origin crashes. I have cleared my cache and Reset/redownloaded origin, I've updated.

A: Yes, but only in a virtual machine with Parallels Desktop.
What is Origin? OriginLab creates Origin, a scientific graphing and data analysis software with an easy-to-use spreadsheet front end. However, it's only available for Microsoft Windows.
So I decided to give it a try on my MacBook Pro® in a Windows 10 virtual machine running within Parallels Desktop for Mac.

In my (humble) opinion, getting started with Origin is a great experience. When you begin to download their free trial, they have self-qualifying questions before you even download. They ask users to self-identify if they're familiar with Origin, have an older version, or have never used Origin. I chose 'never used.' Additionally, they ask how you plan to use Origin in order to provide the appropriate level of technical information to assist you. Your download installer gives you options: Origin with Help included ( ~1.2 GB) or without Help (~496 MB). Being brave, I chose 'Without Help,' because I feel comfortable with technical software.
Between the two product options of Origin or OriginPro, I chose OriginPro. OriginPro adds additional data analysis features like short-time Fourier Transform, surface fitting, and more advanced statistics that may be invaluable to data scientists.
During setup, the installation guide asks users if they'd prefer the 32-bit or 64-bit versions of their software. I chose 'both' for ease of use or future need. Additional features during setup give the option of Embed Python as a redistribution package to allow executing python code within Origin based on the users need.

Overall, setup was quick, easy, and took less than five minutes on the Parallels corporate Wi-Fi network. Once the download was complete, this is what was on my machine:

Note: Once I launched the OriginPro 2018 32-bit program, there were helpful hints for a new user, even though I had selected the 'Without Help' option. These tips were easily turned off but could be very helpful for those who are not familiar with Origin.
To my surprise, it was (beyond) easy to get started with existing Microsoft Excel sheets I have on my Windows 10 VM. Customer research is a primary responsibility of my job, which means I live in Excel 70% of my workday. Uploading my Excel sheets as preferred data points was quick, and utilizing the same data sheets to visually show a secondary graph was easy, too!

Overall, as a basic-needs user, I found Origin to run flawlessly within Parallels Desktop. I sincerely attempted to over-load the program by loading a large Excel sheet (43 MB), and Origin continued to run within Parallels Desktop without error. No slowdown in performance and no crashing errors. The Origin plots appeared in less than 10 seconds, and interacting with them was instantaneous—no delays at all.
However, we want to hear from you! If you run Origin or OriginPro within Parallels Desktop, I would love to hear about your experience. User feedback is invaluable and can ensure future customer satisfaction and product support. Feel free to reach out on Facebook or Twitter to tell us about your experience.
