OK so, to make this clear - EA will not sell me a digital English version of Sims 4, right? And if so - is there any real reason for that? I mean, I could understand the other way around, if someone would want a localized version and there wouldn't be one, but English? That's the "original", right? Why would anyone want to not include it, especially if there are 2 other languages included in this version? I don't get it :-(
Oh and one more thing - IF i would buy a physical copy (which I definitely won't, if I won't get an English digital copy, I don't want any other), then if there would be any downloadable content for Sims 4, would it work with an English physical copy or would I then also not be allowed to get it because ... reasons?Any comments? Will downloadable content work if I would buy a physical English copy and have Origin forced to use Polish for some reason?
Edit Bump: Still waiting for a reply - will downloadable content purchased via Origin (where an English version is not sold) work with a physical English copy of the game?

As far as I know the DLC won't be language/region restricted, but I'm waiting for a confirmation before I can give a 100% solid "yes".
This is utterly ridiculous! I will never download any games from you until you work out this issue!
Why do something the easy way when you can do things complicated, right? Outraging!
Two years after the launch of the game, and this problem has never been solved... cool, EA, very cool. (NOT.) I just bought the game, didn't even think to check what were the offered languages because it's just an industry standard that, whatever the additional local languages added, English is always provided. But turns out EA is not on the industry standard. I requested a refund, I will not play this game in Polish. I find it ridiculous that EA has done it so. And now instead of buying the game straight from EA, I will perhaps go and buy it on secondary market, to make sure it is in my preferred language.
They released Toddlers for free but they won't release English language pack, something they already made anyway, even as a "dlc". Haven't played the game for a while because seeing Polish just annoys me and I quit with a feeling of regret, bitterness, disappointment and frustration. I'd love to play with Toddlers. I'd love to get DLC with vampires that's coming out soon. But with how EA treats this issue, it looks like I'd be wiser to wait until Sims 5 are out instead, then probably pay my friend in US to get the game so I can play it in English.
It's ridiculous, it's sad and it's making me angry as I'm diving deeper and deeper into Google search pages, looking for a way to english-fy my game that I just cannot enjoy because of where I was born and where I have to live now.
