I bought my game in Poland, but I prefer to play in English. I have Origin's lanugage setting on English and that worked for previous Sims games, however this time the game presented three options for installation: Czech, Polish, and Russian. No English on the list.
Is there a way to change the language? Or is there some kind of regional language restriction? And if there is, does it also apply to the disc version of the game? (cuz then I'd return the digital version and get the disc instead if thats true)
1. Click start then run or Press Windows Key + R to open regedit 2. type regedit in the run box (if you click start then run) and press enter 3. go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Wow6432Node/Maxis/The Sims 4 and double click on Key string named "Locale" and change the value to "en_US" and save 5. start your SIMS 4 and the language will be in english.

If the language isn't available for your copy of the game, this won't work, and can break your install until the change is reverted.
so if I bought the game from poland origin I can't change the languange even if I don't understand and I can't play the game. I wasted my money then????
- You have to contact EA support, preferably Live Chat:
1.https://help.ea.com/en/contact-us/
2.Click on the orange NEXT button
3.Select a platform
4.Click on the orange NEXT button
5.Select a topic and describe your problem in a few words
6.Click on the orange NEXT button
7.Click Chat Now to chat with a Game Advisor
Tell him eeeeverything: you bought it while on vacation or whatever reason you were there, it doesn't have the option to change language, ask if he/she could do something. If he/she says no, ask if the specialist team is currently working. If they're not, ask when they will be there to help. My Game Adviser helped me right away by honestly saying he personally can't do anything and that the specialist team has to help. Ask if they can change the game. If your game adviser is being rude and won't help at all, politely end the chat and start a new one (use the same case). Maybe a different Game Adviser will help.
I hope this helps :/ good luck!!!
2017 - still no solution. EA congrats! (Morons really)
Just bought the game and already requested refund. That's ridiculous! Why on Earth I can not play English version? What's wrong with you guys? I need a reply from tech support! Why you guys ignore the problem? I want a clear explanation on this insane decision of whoever is responsible for that idiocy. Thanks in advance.
THANKSSS! <3
