Will Sims 3 and 4 content be on EA App

Please can you tell me if all my sims 3 and 4 games and add on games.. plus in game purchases, will be automatically

appear on EA when i sign in to my account when Origin retires ? or will i have to download all my games and purchases again.

I love my sims 3 and have purchased nearly all worlds , I'm just worried of losing all what i have purchased over many years. Also as i am in my 60s and not great intel into computer lingo , will their be help and guidance through changeover date ? and is their a date as yet, as November now, and you did say the end of the year.

many Thanks

  • @pipandboo  All the Sims 3 and Sims 4 content that now appears in Origin should also appear in the EA App.  You won't have to buy anything again, and you also shouldn't need to download either game: the App recognizes already installed Origin games.  However, I would suggest installing the App and checking your game library to make sure nothing is missing, sooner rather than later, so you have time to deal with EA customer support if necessary.

    Installing the EA App will uninstall Origin, but you can reinstall it using the link in this post:

    Your Sims 3 worlds will still need to be installed through the Store site.  Right now, the EA App isn't properly recognizing store content all the time, so I'd definitely suggest staying with Origin for now.

    just to let you know that I downloaded EA app

    yesterday ,  and thought Ouch! When towards the end of the install it uninstalled Origin automatically. But to my surprise after opening the EA App and logging in, every world and In store purchases were there on it ready to play, so once again a massive thanks to you and I even got badges for using this service, of which I never knew about , but one thing I still don’t know … is what is a XP, only asking because I got a email to say I had received one.

    anyway thanks again
