ea app says sims 4 incompatible version is installed

Hi, I've had this problem since this morning, I have sims 4 packs from EA and steam. And normally i launch my game from steam because it shows  ea packs too.  This morning  my ea app refreshed and showed me notifications, i noticed my sims 4 game was greyed out saying it's incompatible and unavailable so to uninstall steam version so i did. And when reinstalling sims 4 from ea, it became available again however all my steams packs didn't show up. I already know that using steam, ea packs will show but it does not work vice versa. So i tried clearing my app cache. Repairing. restarting my PC. Uninstalling the ea app version of sims 4 and ea app. So  i did reinstall steam only version and all my packs ea and steam show but ea app still says the same thing on app. Before i reinstalled sims 4 , i did move my sims 4 document folder, and the packs pop up show. But i wanted to just ask for help.  If i could fix this. Or how to find incompatible version.

edit- i saw previous answers on the forums and clean installed using revo and clean cache and uninstalled and again moved and renames the sims 4 documents folder but when installing from steam. Ea once again said my sims 4 is unavailable and the only way to get my sims 4 packs is ea only. But that won't  put my steam packs. I have been trying to chat with ea for hours but it's still saying wait.

  • Najmaa45​  Are your EA and Steam accounts currently properly linked to each other?  (I understand they have been, but the question is whether something broke here.)  To test, open an EA website and try to sign in with your Steam credentials.  If you land in the correct EA account, you're fine; if anything else happens, let me know what you see.
