Sims 4 EA dlc key for steam install
Hiya,
My friend has been obsessed with sims 4 and i was considering buying them some dlc keys for christmas. Only issue is all the ones I can find are for the EA app rather than steam which is where they own the game and their other dlc. I know I could just gift the dlc to them on steam but the game keys are so much cheaper so I'd be able to get them more than just one. Will they still be able to use dlc through EA app for their steam game and alongside their steam dlc? They seem to have EA open when they play the game since EA app has tracked their hours in game.
Thanks in advance
@Metro_Unicorn Yes, content owned in the EA App can be accessed when running a Steam install. In case you're wondering, what your friend would need to do would be to open their EA App game library, click Sims 4, select Manage > Manage add-ons, then download only the packs (not a second copy of the base game) from there. The App would install the packs into the same location as their base game, and everything would load together.
Having said that, before you spend any money, check out Steam's likely upcoming Black Friday and winter holiday sales. Both Steam and the EA App tend to offer expansions for 50% off, other than the newest releases, and smaller discounts for game and stuff packs. Additionally, third-party key sellers are not completely reliable—there's always a chance that one or more keys don't work at all. Depending on the relative pricing, it might make sense to skip the outside vendors entirely.
