No English in game

I can't choose English on install game with EA App, is there ways to solve problem? If i buy English-only key, will it solve my problem? And if i will get English by that way, will other languages gone?

  • @LIVE4MINT  Did you previously have access to English or not?  Some versions of Sims 4 are language-locked, and that's by design.  You could in theory get EA customer support to replace your current version with the global version, which includes English, but It might take multiple tries to get a support rep who's willing to help.

    If you previously had access to English but don't now, that's a known issue with its own master thread, so please let me know.

    @LIVE4MINT  Like I said, you may be able to get an EA customer support rep to remove the language-locked version from your account and add the global version instead.

    Or you can install the game through Steam, which only offers the global version.  You'd need to uninstall the EA App version first.  Afterwards, you could install your packs through the EA App, and they'd work with the Steam base game.

    @LIVE4MINT  That's unfortunate, but this issue might be resolved at some point, so check back later if you want.

    I do think you should be able to play without the Epic launcher running in the background, at least after the first launch of Sims 4 after installing the Epic-owned packs.

  • So in late 2023 game had english and i was able to play on mac but i just contacted ea help chat and they just deleted my base game and said issue will be resolved but no terms given

    Does it means i left locked out of game and purchased content in it? (on manage addons it seems i still have all stuff but it just feels weird)

     

  • i wonder will i be able to refund all purchased content as i got locked out of it and have no way to access if issue will not be resolved?
