@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.

        @jarzzie So I did some testing. Had Origin installed and just installed the steam version through Steam on top of that. Started the game through steam .. no DLC .. went into Origin and redownloaded some of the packs for testing. They do show up on both of my tiles to re-download.

        After that they showed up.

        Did you ever redownload them through Origin after installing Steam ?
