Linking DLC Packs to Steam Deck?

I am a current Mac user and I have several packs downloaded for the Sims 4. The problem is, it takes up so much space on my computer and I feel like my computer is overheating every time I play the game (plus, I am a big fan of modding). I have been looking into getting a Steam Deck instead for PC gaming since I love the portability of it. If I download the base game for Steam onto the Steam Deck, can I still use all of the packs I have already purchased on my Steam Deck without having to purchase them again?

  • lollyg17​  Yes, if you link your Steam and EA accounts, which you would have needed to do when you installed or launched the game on your Steam Deck, your EA-owned packs should be available in the EA App game library.  The App should be installed already; just open it and click Sims 4 > Manage > Manage add-ons.  If you can't open it on your own, it should be open while you have an EA game running.

    If you'd like help getting Sims 4 to run better on your Mac, feel free to ask for help in the Mac tech forum.  Please list your specs: everything under About This Mac including the OS and except for the serial number.
