    @Rivvr  The version of Sims 4 available in Russia only comes with these three languages.  To play in English, you'll need to buy the game from Origin while in a country that supports English, or buy a physical copy from a country that offers English.  (Most of Europe works, minus countries where those three languages are spoken.)  You could also buy a digital copy from an authorized third-party seller like Amazon, although you'd want to make sure you were getting the global version.

    In any case, you'll need to have the current version removed from your Origin library.  Since you just bought the game, you should be able to get a refund automatically.
