I just need to move over what little bit of CC to my file and get my mods back... :)

What save files? We have to add our save files for our game to the app?

But it just launches the game, not manages the files? ???‍♂️. Or is this something completely different to Origin?

They got a new pc and transferred save files from the old pc to new

Same here. I switched to a another laptop 2 or 3 weeks ago. I couldn't find origin to download so I got the EA app. So far I installed sims 3, 4 and medieval. It seems to work fine at first sight. The biggest difference for me is that I can now play with graphics on high and loading screens under 30 seconds. And I am not even on a gaming laptop.

My only issue is sims medieval. When I installed it through origin, I got an error while installing the Dutch version. I had to install the game in English and then switch language to Dutch after installation. So now I immediately installed it in English and can't find an option to change the language. Do I have to reinstall to change the language?

Hey all,

We've been in the process of migrating users in waves from Origin to the new EA app on Windows since mid October. You'll eventually see a message like the one above pop up when launching Origin now that the EA app is no longer in Beta.

You can read more about the new EA app on EA.com here, and if you run into any issues or if you have feedback to share please do let us know here so we can take a look and let the right teams know.

With all respect wouldn't it be nice to make sure the EA app works with all of your games before forcing people onto it? I can't keep my Sims 3 store content with the EA app because it keeps being removed. I don't want this app until it works with all of my games.

I was able to download riverview from the sims 3 store and it installed just fine. I will have to check if it got removed. So far I only played sims 3 once on this pc.

@ncisGibbs02 Origin's been around for many years, perhaps almost as long as Sims 4 (if not longer?) & has had a number of problems so they started working on the new app a few years ago.

I'm not quite sure what all the outrage over this is?

I have been in Origin this morning playing my game and no notice whatsoever that I need to change over or update to the new EA App.

I’ve recently moved over and have not found any issues with Sims 4. Unfortunately, there are issues with Sims 2 and Sims 3 though.

Sims 2 Ultimate Collection is now Sims 2 Double Deluxe, and all Sims 3 Special Editions and Limited Editions are now just Sims 3 regular editions. I haven’t checked my Sims 3 store stuff yet as I haven’t downloaded Sims 3 to my new computer yet.

Edit: Just remembered that there are issues with Sims 4 as well. Some owned Sims 4 packs now show as unowned.

Once again, the App is a but, telling me my game failed to launch. It's been doing this for quite some time, recently. I don't think it's ready for Prime Time, plus, I've also noticed there is no longer the warning that Origin is coming to a close, soon.

Please let us know about these inconsistencies here so we can alert the right teams.

We have a thread for this issue here.

Check your Sims2 properties on app for this: As it shows DD in Collections but installs the UC
I haven't returned to using App yet but 2 ran just fine on it but 3 had issues with store content.

I’ve not had any problems with the EA app so far. I only play Sims 4 on it though.
