Link Steam account with EA child account
Gifted Sim 4 to my kids Steam-account and is trying to start the game. Obviously it wants to do an account link so I have downloaded the Origin app, created an EA child account and logged into Origin...

Did you manage to resolve this? I have literally done the same as you and have the same error.
@mdbridges Not really. EA couldn't find a solution so I ended up using an EA "adult" account instead. For your sake I really hope you're not using Steams "family mode" because Origin won't accept the connection to Steam without turning "family mode" off which just makes the hassle I was trying to avoid even worse.
The connection between Steam and Origin seems to be a terrible mess if you ask me. Wish I never bought Sims 4 to begin with.

- @dabardzen I managed to get a really quick response from EA!
“I've just gotten word back and it seems that an underage EA account can't be linked to Steam, sorry ☹️ -Lynn”
Like you, I just made them a full account and fortunately linked to their own steam account.
