    @lesleetussa  This is normal and always how the game has worked.  If you're located in certain countries, you receive the language-locked version of Sims 4.  There's no way around it except to obtain a different copy, likely while having the current base game removed from your account so it doesn't conflict with the new version.

    What you could do is download the (now free) game from Steam, which I believe only supplies the global version.  You'd need to uninstall the Origin version first, then download the base game from Steam, then login to Origin (not the EA App yet) and download any packs you own.

@beckalicios  The Steam version of Sims 4 is Windows-only, so this workaround can't be used in macOS.

    Hi @puzzlezaddict 

    I have found this thread, checked Steam and found the Steam version - just installing it now!

    Do you know how to link Steam and EA? Do both account need to be in the same email adress?

    Thank you,

      @eloela94  When you try to launch Sims 4 through Steam, you'll be prompted to link your account to an EA account.  I don't think you need to be using the same email address for both, but I haven't tested this.
