You do need to re-buy the base game on Steam if you want to be able to have packs on steam. If you do that, install the steam version, connect your account and then you should see all content you have bought on Steam & Origin.
Origin will still need to run in the background.

@crinrict @I was able to get the steam sims 4 base game. I already have it upload and I already link my account but what I realized it when I started playing, it turned on and it says I had every of my dlc. After that I went to create another household and realized my dlc items in origin weren't in CAS and they weren't in build mode either. I don't know what to do and I tried emailing the support but they just repeated the same thing even though the question was different. What should I do? I uninstalled 5x to see if it's a glitch but it's still not working. I even deleted my origin and steam and reinstall but it wasn't working either

@jarzzie When I last tried it worked fine for me. Not sure if something has changed.
Where is your DLC installed ? In the Origin or Steam installation folder ? AFAIR, for me everything was re-downloaded to the Steam one. Maybe they changed stuff.
Don't have much time today but can do some re-testing tomorrow.EDIT: Moved this post to tech and merged another similar thread into it. Guess I def need to do some testing to see if something is wrong.
@BeardedEchelon Do you get an error downloading or what happens in detail for you ?
- 5 years ago@crinrict I have it downloaded for both since my dlc at origin won't download at steam, And the dlc I got from steam will only install in steam and not origin even though I connected/linked my account. Though somehow i manage to download the dlc from steam to my origin platform but when I opened the app it says it was downloaded but somehow my other dlc from the origin platform disappeared from build mode and cas.

If I buy DLC on the Steam platform, can I access it through my Origin platform? I have a base game, a few EP and GP on Origin, but wanted to get a new DLC from Steam.
