Alrighty so i found a fix that worked for me!

if you open Sims 4 through the installed folder in steamapps/common/The Sims 4/Game/Bin

Open TS4_x64

This then loaded the game into the EA App and opened it.

Hope this helps you guys

This seems to have worked for me too, although it's only the standard version of the game through Steam, not the Limited edition I was playing previously.  The EA app is currently installing all of the add ons I own.  Maybe I'll just have to do without?

Also stopping back for everyone else reading this, once you load the game how Mindbenderrr suggested, Steam's button will work as normal. This pic was taken after loading directly from Steam

EDIT: I know it's been a long time since I loaded into the game, but now none of my gallery creations are available...  Just a heads up, if you are switching from the EA app to Steam, this may happen.
