  • @edgelord265  Please uninstall the game with Revo Uninstaller (the free version is fine).  Before doing so, go into Documents > Electronic Arts and rename the Sims 4 folder to something that doesn't include "Sims 4"; this will keep Revo from flagging it for deletion.  The idea here is to clear out all data related to the game installs, not just the usual program files.

    Restart your computer and install Sims 4 through Steam only.  Then open the EA App and download the packs you own there, but not a second copy of the base game.  These packs should go into the folder for the Steam install, allowing them to load when you launch the game from Steam.
