Have the Sims 4 on EA but I have DLCs on Steam and can't get them

So, I tried to reach out to EA, but I can't get that to work. I'm just going to copy paste what I said. can someone please help me?

"So, I currently own the Sims 4 through EA. Previously I bought Dine Out and Seasons through Steam before I decided to get the game on EA. When I was looking at all the DLCs that I own it says I have to manage them through Steam. Then I go to Steam, and it won't let me install them unless I install the game through them. I don't have enough space on my computer to have two Sims 4 games. Plus, that sounds like it wouldn't work anyways. I thought about just purchasing them again, but EA won't let me since I already own them on Steam. I don't know how to get the DLCs that I already purchased. I don't know what to do. Help lol."

  • @xPlutox2005  You'll need to uninstall Sims 4 through the EA App and reinstall it through Steam, along with the packs you own there.  Once you've done that, login to the EA App and download the packs you own there, but NOT a second copy of the base game.  The packs should install into the Steam version and load as if you'd bought them directly from Steam.
