Re: Steam re-downloads DLCs after switching Windows-Accounts

I think I sorted it out. I checked if the files were really missing and that was the case, so Steam was really redownloading the DLCs. I then tried different things an what I think solved the issue was, that I unlinked my daughters EA and Steam Account and then I "purchased" the basegame for her in the EA App. The EA App then detected my Sims4 installation in the Steam-Folder, which I could not start from the EA Client, but I also could not download the EA Version. I tried that because I thought that she could run Sims from the EA App and me from Steam. So as that did not worked, I started the Game from Steam on her account and the Apps reregistered her Accounts as linked and since then I did not have the problem anymore. We could both play and nothing gets downloaded between session. It took me two days and some hair pulling to figure that out, but as long as it is now working it is fine for me.

Thanks, Peter.
