Cross-Platform DLC Transfers for The Sims 4
Dear Reader, As a dedicated Sim player for over 18 years, I genuinely love and enjoy the game. While I've occasionally been frustrated by some updates (or the lack thereof), nothing has been more...

Basically, the only reason we can’t transfer Sims packs between devices is because Sony and Microsoft want their 30% cut every single time you buy something, and EA is greedy enough to go along with it. There’s nothing “technical” stopping them. The systems already exist ,your EA account is linked, they can track purchases, they can recognize DLC. They just don’t WANT to fix it because they make money off people rebuying the same packs when they switch from PC to console or vice versa. And the consoles won’t let you download DLC you bought somewhere else because they don’t get paid for it. So it’s literally just business politics and greed, not difficulty. They could make it cross-buy tomorrow if they cared, but they don’t because the double purchases are too profitable.
The link to the EA account is different subject entirely. It is just a requirement for ALL EA products. The formatting is different between PC and consoles. In fact the formatting is different between xbox and playstation, so even different consoles can not transfer. It isn't about not wanting to do it, it is about the fact it is not possible. You might want to use google as I found the reasoning why what you are wanting can't be done for any video games very easily and with multiple sources.
