You can't. When it says "Windows only", it means ..... Windows *only*.

There are two versions of the game. (1)The Origin/EA-based version + DLC that you get from EA's servers that works with both Macs and Windows. And (2) the Steam version of the game + DLC which is only for Windows-based Operating Systems. So, bottom line - if you own any DLC, and the base game from Steam - it won't work with Macs. They are not transferable. If you want to play the game on your Mac, you can certainly download the Origin version of the game from EA's servers. Since it's free as well, it won't cost you anything. But you'll have to buy the DLC again.

I also found this on EA answers regarding Macbooks:

"It should run ok and you have plenty of RAM. But and there is a "but" please note the following.

1) You should not run on Ultra High graphic settings as this can damage your Mac in the long run.

2) Remember that the more content you add, the slower your game will run.

3) Adding a lot of CC will also slow down your game.

4) Play with your Mac elevated and to be on the safe side on a cooling mat. Never play any games or work on your Mac on a pillow or comforter."

You're most welcome. I'm just sorry that things didn't turn out so well since you have DLC that you can't use with your Macbook.
