New EA App

I have a question to ask and it is a very important one where I want an answer concerning The Sims 4. I did not lose any dlc when switching from Origin to EA App, but I am worried about me making a new purchase on Steam or EA App because of the fact I originally purchased basegame from Steam instead of Origin or EA App. I wanted to stay on Origin as long as possible, but I was notified what I was using on Origin moved over to EA App where I could not use Origin anymore and if EA App is incompatible with Steam then "WHEN" will these two ever become compatible with each other and why did EA never think about making EA App and Steam "compatible" begin with? Do I have to switch The Sims 4 basegame and all of the dlc packs I purchased from Steam to EA App before I purchase a new dlc from The SIms 4 so that I can not only get newer dlc from The Sims 4, but also not lose any dlc as well that many people have complained about? If EA has not noticed any backlash yet about their new app, because of EA App and Steam not being compatible with each other (or at least not yet) I would be very surprised.

Does anyone know if the Sims 3 Store Contents work on EA App yet? I own some wonderful Store Contents like Midnight Hollow, Dragon Age & Barney Bay & so want to play them again.

I made a report post on the EA app. Link here.

My advise is to never mix the two.

If you've been buying from steam only buy from steam. If you've been buying from origin or the EA app only buy from the EA app.

So don't mix origin or EA app purchases with steam purchases.

So don't mix origin or EA app purchases with steam purchases.

Thank you. I do not think that it is a good idea to mix purchases with Steam and EA App. Unfortunately, I do not think that EA App is going to compatible with Steam anytime soon, but hoping that I am wrong where EA notices this is a big problem and tries to fix it instead of ignoring it. Some people for example (and not only just ServerFra) complained about The Sims 3 store not working properly while using EA App which leads me under the impression that people are complaining about various other games related to EA App and not only just The SIms 4.

All my store content works just fine. Including the store worlds. Also my all eps are checked on startup on launcher. That hasn't happened in awhile. Hopefully stays.

Well, I got the mandatory invite today. Wish me luck, pray for me, send me good vibes, cross your fingers, or whatever is part of your personal belief system, but I can use all the help I can get. Including backing up my entire TS4 folder. :D

Got the mandatory push yesterday when I opened Origin to play the sims3. So far it's worked fine. Hopefully it stays that way.

How did you go, alright?
It is a very stressful moment.

Mixed results so far. I haven't checked TS3 yet to make sure that's everything's still there. For TS4, it opened up a bit faster than it usually does with Origin. The game seemed to run about the same after that.

I had to save without exiting at one point, though. Eliza died of starvation, Bob successfully pleaded for her life, he got all the positive moodlets associated with that, Grim resurrected her, and then she instantly died of starvation a second time. I don't think that's necessarily related to the EA app, though, it just seems like TS4 being TS4.
