Why no English language option in my region?

Isn’t it ridiculous that English - the international language - is not available in all regions? In my region the game only comes with three languages that I don’t know, and there’s no option to choose English.

Why is English not added as a default option, regardless of the region where the game is purchased? It feels like such an obvious thing.

Right now, my game only offers three languages, none of which I can use comfortably. Does anyone know how to change the region or settings so I can download and play the game in English?

    A few years ago, when I first bought the game, I had the same problem and had to use mods to translate it. Since then, I've bought a lot of DLCs. I still haven't changed my location - I'm still in Ukraine. But I'm tired of relying on mods when the game itself should support English. I just want to play The Sims 4 in English, but for some reason I can't, even though I know the game exists in English.

    How long ago was that, and did you also purchase DLCs? 
    The base game is currently free, so if you're in a different region right now, you can add the game again, which should grant you access to the game version available at your current location.

    Hello,
    I already contacted EA Help about this issue, but they told me there's nothing they can do and advised me to come here to the forums for help from community managers. I purchased The Sims 4 through the EA app in Ukraine, and I was only given three language options: Czech, Polish, or russian. Unfortunately, I don't know any of these languages. I would really like to play the game in English if Ukrainian is not available.  Is there any way to change the language to English?
