Choosing Language
UPDATE 2015-05-30
There is now an easier possibility to change the language. Please make sure to opt in Origin Beta since it's not available on the current version of Origin.

Now that's the ea i know
Screwing things up and not giving a solution. Did you guys read that? "oh, you can buy the game again from another source".
That's great! Great!
So riddle me this. I bought the game, installed it, didn't stop to ponder about the language, because i presumed there would be an easy (and in game) way to change it. 25 hours later, i open it again and realise that i can't do that. And then, now that i can't ask for a refund on origin, a community manager comes in and says: nothing to do, you'll just have to buy it again!
Am i the only one who sees how absurd this is?
That's ea for y'all, never disappoint

OK then, thanks for informing us about this, now I know for sure that officially Electronic Arts is not selling and not planning to sell a digital version of Sims 4 in English in my country, in other words - there is no way for me to legally obtain this product. Good to know. It is of course the most stupid business decision I've heard of, but whatever - you're not selling, I'm not buying, it's that easy.
BTW, I'm actually glad that this issue forced me to wait as now seeing the reviews, it turns out that Sims 4 is apparently worse than Sims 3 so... maybe I should go with 3... it also has English as an option.
Oh this is so sick, it's one of these things that my brain is incapable of comprehending - I imagine an executive at EA sitting there and thinking (and that's a guess): "So we have a platform for digital distribution, we have a game that we will offer for the same price for everyone, it's rated the same for everyone so that said, I decide that in 3 countries, we will remove the amount of languages in which the game can be played. Yes, that makes perfect sense, let's do this. This will hopefully increase sales and decrease piracy because obviously if there's less choice, people will pay more."

Actually, my solution only works if the language is available for your country.
As i understand, this is not the case for east europe.
