Help! Adding Steam means buying sims again but i have no room to download 2 copi

I'd like to get STEAM connected to my SIMS 4 account but after downloading the sims 4 game I'm unable to install without waiting a day for it to finish. 

I'm assuming this is because I have no real space on my computer for a copy of SIMS 4 For ORIGIN and a copy of SIMS 4 for Steam. 

I was playing on origin with an origin copy but I'd like to add Steam into the mix to use their community. 

How can I do this? I've been googling for days.🤔😖😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔 

What can I do?

    @JadeClarity  You could uninstall the Origin version before installing the Steam version.  As long as you make a backup copy of the Sims 4 folder in Documents\Electronic Arts—this is the folder that holds your saves and other user data—you shouldn't lose any progress.

    Okay I will try this and let you know. 

    I have still been trying to reach EA help but their chat box does not ever open for me even though I do not have popups blocked. I talked to steam too but they always refuse to talk about origin things or ea things even though it does have to do with them too. 

    I just want to enjoy the steam community. 

    Thanks so much for your reply. Ill try to do this correctly.
