I installed Sims 4, but it keeps saying find new app for link2ea

It says i need to find a new app to open link2ea when i try opening The Sims 4.What should i do to solve this issue

  • @jbgqvps5fa4s  Are you playing through Steam?  The link2ea tool is part of the connection between your Steam and EA accounts whether you've installed Origin or the EA App.  So please make sure one of those is already installed and that you've signed into the Steam and EA accounts linked to each other.

    If you're not sure whether the accounts are linked, go to any EA site, for example ea.com, click the sign in button, then the Steam logo, and enter your Steam credentials.  You'll land in the EA account linked to that Steam account.

    If you're using the correct accounts, try running both Steam and the EA App or Origin as an admin: right-click on each shortcut and select "Run as administrator."
