    @katiecar1  You'd need to rebuy the base game on Steam first, but then yes, you could combine the packs.  The process for doing this is to uninstall the Origin version of the game, install it from Steam, then download your Origin packs afterwards.  When you played, both Origin and Steam would need to be running.

    In case you're wondering, Origin also has frequent Sims 4 sales, so you wouldn't necessarily be saving any money by going through Steam, and you'd avoid the potential headache of having to deal with two game launchers.
