I reinstalled the sims, chose Norwegian but it shows in English

@minhelen_  There's no way to change a game's language within the EA App.  Normally you'd just reinstall the game in Norwegian, but since that didn't work the first time, your best bet is to reinstall Origin.  You can find a download link here:

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Origin-Client-Web-Technical/Downloading-and-installing-Origin-Windows-and-Mac/m-p/11915666

Open your Origin game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, select Game Properties > Advanced Launch Options, and choose Norwegian.  Origin should repair the game and download the appropriate language strings.  Then you can go back to using the EA App if you prefer.

I don't know for sure, but the EA App might have been confused if you installed the app itself in English.  I do know this is a common problem.

Thank you, it works now🙂

Hello, why cant i change my language in the sims 4? I have always played in Norwegian and now when i changed to the ea app from origin its only in english. 

@tinastar4ever  There's currently a bug with the EA App where it may not install a game in another language if the App itself is running in English, or perhaps if the App doesn't support the language chosen for the game.  At any rate, the only fix is to reinstall Origin and change the language there.  You can download Origin from the link here:

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Origin-Client-Web-Technical/Downloading-and-installing-Origin-Windows-and-Mac/m-p/11915666

There's no need to uninstall the EA App.  Once you've installed Origin, open your game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, select Game Properties > Advanced Launch Options, and choose Norwegian from the dropdown menu.  Origin should download the language strings if they're not already present and then launch the game in Norwegian.

Hopefully the EA App will be updated to address this soon enough, but in the meantime, Origin still works fine.

Hi.

I got the EA app around fall, when Origin was saying good bye. And everything went fine downloading it. I usually play The Sims 4. I've played up until now, because I had to reset/wipe my computer. So after downloading the EA app again to install Sims 4 again, my game runs in English. I used Norwegian because that is my language. But there is no way to change it back to Norwegian. I have tried everything, search everywhere. I only find Origin "how to change language". And that option is gone now. But what I find weird is that Sims 4 supports Norwegian among many other languages. And when I first got the EA app I had the Sims 4 in Norwegian. How come there is no option to change it back? I have even tried to change it in the files, with no luck! I am so frustrated and many others seems to be the same. Please help me, I just wanna play Sims 4 in my language again. All online information I find is how to change in Origin, which again I no longer am able to.

Thanks in advance!!

@Lyail  Are you in fact able to reinstall Origin?  If so, and if it runs, you can change the language there and then go back to the EA App.  You can find a download link here:

There's no need to uninstall the EA App; just don't try to run both apps at the same time.

If you can't use Origin, then the only fix here is to uninstall Sims 4 and reinstall it in Norwegian, hoping that it works this time.  This issue usually seems to occur when the App is running in English, so normally I'd suggest you switch the App to Norwegian first, but I don't actually know whether it has a Norwegian localization.

Why hasn't this been fixed yet? It has been a long time since this first was reported.

- The solution of using Origin to solve this problem will not work forever. So please fix this problem!

Hello. I am now trying to contact EA about this issue again for the 3rd time!

The problem is installing The Sims 4 in Norwegian:

I have been told by 2 different people from EA, that they escalated it to the teams.

4 months have passed and EA have not done anything about this problem. Is it really that hard to fix this bug, or does EA not care about norwegian customers?
