Can I transfer my sims dlc to my steam account?

I did a research that it is possible to transfer my sims DLC from my origin account to my steam account. Though I tried all ways they told me and I still can't seem to transfer it. I have a lot of dl...

@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 ?

    @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.

      @jarzzie Just build mode and CAS or do you also not have the game play ?

        @crinrict Yeah I just realized no I don't, I tried playing in origin but I only had the items and gameplay that came with the dlc that I bought in origin. When I tried playing in sims 4 ins steam, it also only had the dlc I got from steam. I had both sims 4 game since it didn't merge into one base game. Is it supposed to be merge into 1 base game or am I supposed to have two. I tried only downloading one base game but if I didn't download the other one it would not put the dlc i got on the other game
