Purchasing discounted pack for steam
I got an email from EA stating discounts. So I go in and find the pack i've been wanting to get at 50% for ages! (plus a halloween bundle) YAY! or so i thought.
I click on purchase. in the drop down i choose steam cuz that's what i play sims 4 on. Have done this many times. BUT, the discount for the pack is not there. The bundle was finally updated to show the same discount on steam, so that's fine now. But the pack is still showing full price even when i go thru EA to purchase (and choosing steam). What can I do? Can I do anything? What if i purchase thru "EA app in windows"? Will that work? Will anything work? I really want this pack but can't afford the full price. Help??
Steam usually has the same discounts as EA so it's not been an issue in the past. But it's not discounting this time. I'm sad....
Momma-One If you want to keep everything in your Steam library, you'll need to wait for a Steam sale. It's not possible to buy content specifically for Steam through EA.
However, you can buy the packs through EA and download them into your Steam install. Your content will be split between the two game libraries, but the packs themselves will work as if you'd bought them directly through Steam. You'd simply download them using the EA App (but NOT download a second copy of the base game), and the App would install them into your Steam version of Sims 4.
The only alternative here is to wait for a Steam sale. One should show up around Black Friday if not sooner.
