I cannot find how to uninstall the sims 4

Hii! I am new to the gaming world and its platforms! I first installed The Sims 4 on steam, but I got upset with it for some reason and wanted to play it on EA instead. So that's what happened: I installed the EA app and tried to download the game there, but it just opened on Steam. I unistalled the game and then the steam app to see if I could download it through EA but I just couldn't open the game at all. I first tried to exclude the game through EA but I can't find where and anything on the internet helped... I already unistalled the EA app and installed it again, but nothing works. Oh and I play it at my laptop. Any tips??

  • @jokatjs  Try downloading the free holiday pack from the EA App, while Sims 4 is not currently installed.  This may add the base game to your EA account, or at least this workaround helps some users.

    You could also remove the game from your Steam library: right-click on the Sims 4 game tile and select Manage > Remove from account.  (I have one report of this working but haven't tested myself.)  Then you should be able to add it to your EA account and play directly through the EA App.

    Hey @jokatjs if you own the game through Steam then it's best to launch from the Steam app as that is the platform on which you own the game.
