Re: Can I transfer my sims dlc to my steam account?

@crinrict @I was able to get the steam sims 4 base game. I already have it upload and I already link my account but what I realized it when I started playing, it turned on and it says I had every of my dlc. After that I went to create another household and realized my dlc items in origin weren't in CAS and they weren't in build mode either. I don't know what to do and I tried emailing the support but they just repeated the same thing even though the question was different. What should I do? I uninstalled 5x to see if it's a glitch but it's still not working. I even deleted my origin and steam and reinstall but it wasn't working either

@jarzzie When I last tried it worked fine for me. Not sure if something has changed.

Where is your DLC installed ? In the Origin or Steam installation folder ? AFAIR, for me everything was re-downloaded to the Steam one. Maybe they changed stuff.

Don't have much time today but can do some re-testing tomorrow.

EDIT: Moved this post to tech and merged another similar thread into it. Guess I def need to do some testing to see if something is wrong.

@BeardedEchelon Do you get an error downloading or what happens in detail for you ?

If I buy DLC on the Steam platform, can I access it through my Origin platform? I have a base game, a few EP and GP on Origin, but wanted to get a new DLC from Steam.

@jarzzie 

My Origin shows both versions (NVM the Play Pro thing) but you should have both the Sims 4 and the Sims 4 Steam. DLC from Origin should work with the Steam version but DLC on Steam does not work with the Origin Version. 

When I tested this when it first came out, it would always launch the version I've installed last. So if I installed Steam last, it launched the Steam version even if I clicked on the Origin Version (you can tell by turning off Steam, then starting the game. If Steam starts, it's the Steam version, if not, it's the Origin Version).

I will do some testing tomorrow to see if anything changed

@jarzzie Yeah, Steam DLC doesn't work on Origin, that's how it is. If you have Steam DLC, you need to run the Steam Version.

At this point, I think the best you can do is the following

1. Backup your user files found in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4
2. Uninstall both Origin and Steam version with all DLC (so that there's nothing Sims 4 left on your computer)
3. Reinstall the Steam Version with all it's content, then start it on Steam.
4. Your Origin DLC will be missing, so after starting the game, close it down and start Origin (Steam still running).
5. Go to the tile of the Steam Game on Origin (if you have that, otherwise just use the Sims 4 one on Origin) and start installing the DLC you have on Origin.
6. After that is done, start the game through Steam.

7. If you now have your packs, move the backups of your user folder back in case your saves don't show up anymore.

For me, the packs I installed (one Content from Steam, 3 from Origin) showed up in my game.
