I have digital sims 4 base game on both steam and origin and say I go onto origin it says u have sims 4 with steam and one with origin can I move the packs I bought on steam to origin and how? And if I buy the packs can I download in on origin ? So I’m quite dumb lol you might need to dumb things down abit thank you so much tho
@KeiraC8551 Sims 4 works entirely differently than Sims 3. I thought since you posted in the Sims 3 section, the 4 in your post was a typo, but perhaps not.
For Sims 4, you can in fact play through Steam with all your Origin-owned content. And you can register disc copies in Origin: they'll work like packs you buy directly through Origin. What you'd do is install the base game through Steam, then any packs you own through Steam, then any packs you own through Origin. You'd launch the game through Steam, and Origin would run in the background.
Thank you so much you’ve been a big help !!!
And sorry for making you confused this was my first time reaching out to a page like this and have no clue how to use it but thank you so much for helping 🙂
@KeiraC8551 Don't worry about it. People post in the "wrong" section all the time, but as long as everyone gets on the same page eventually, it's all good.
Im still a little confused I’ve download my dlcs onto my sims 4 on origin I also have pack on my sims 4 on steam that I want on my origin but have no clue how to transfer the sims stuff onto origin
@keiracullen You can't transfer packs you own in Steam to the Origin version, at least not in Sims 4. (Sims 3 is different.) If you want to use the pack you've bought in Steam, you'll need to uninstall the Origin version, install the Steam version of the base game, install the Steam-bought pack, then install your Origin-bought packs.
When I go onto steam or origin it has a copy on sims then the other copy says with steam does that mean they are 2 different copies or is it just saying I can play it with steam and my dlcs don’t show up on my library its like they are built in the sims so how would i go about downloading them
On origin and steam I have 2 sims 4 ones normal and the other has with steam on top of it plus my dlcs are like in the base game and don’t show up separate so how would I download them or when I unistall the origin one will they show up ??
Also I uninstalled it and it uninstalled it from both its like they’re linked
@keiracullen Please uninstall Sims 4 if you haven't already. Clear Origin's cache:

Install the game from Steam, not from Origin, and install the pack(s) you own in Steam. Then open your Origin game library and install the packs you own in Origin.
