@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

      @jarzzie 

      My Origin shows both versions (NVM the Play Pro thing) but you should have both the Sims 4 and the Sims 4 Steam. DLC from Origin should work with the Steam version but DLC on Steam does not work with the Origin Version. 

      When I tested this when it first came out, it would always launch the version I've installed last. So if I installed Steam last, it launched the Steam version even if I clicked on the Origin Version (you can tell by turning off Steam, then starting the game. If Steam starts, it's the Steam version, if not, it's the Origin Version).

      I will do some testing tomorrow to see if anything changed

        @crinrict Oh okay, I'll try again to see if it's working. Since last time I launched it at origin version but it only had the dlc items I got from origin even though the dlc from steam was downloaded. I also tried to launched at steam but it also didn't have the dlc I have In origin. If it's still okay for you and all your dlc items are still there then I'll try a few more times to check the problem and if the problems continues then I'll just refund it since I feel like it might be my computer that's a problem.
