Re: Choosing Language

@homunculus420 I have moved your topic from the Origin forums to the Sims 4 section. Please do not create Sims 4 topics on the Origin section.

As mentioned in this thread http://answers.ea.com/t5/Origin/READ-HERE-For-any-type-of-issues-with-The-Sims-4/td-p/3432433

Thanks.

1. Click start then run or Press Windows Key + R to open regedit 2. type regedit in the run box (if you click start then run) and press enter 3. go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Wow6432Node/­Maxis/The Sims 4 and double click on Key string named "Locale" and change the value to "en_US" and save 5. start your SIMS 4 and the language will be in english.

If the language isn't available for your copy of the game, this won't work, and can break your install until the change is reverted.

I have a polish version and i am willing to swap for a english version if you are intersted

hello

i have sims 4 in Polish. I'm originally from Poland so my mum bought me Polish sims 4 when she was there ! but i'm pretty bad at reading in polish so if you have the english sims 4 could you trade with me? I am from the UK

Hi,

AnswerHQ is not a trading platform so no one can help you with that.

Contact a game advisor if they can exchange your version

THANKSSS! <3

2017 - still no solution. EA congrats! (Morons really)

Just bought the game and already requested refund. That's ridiculous! Why on Earth I can not play English version? What's wrong with you guys? I need a reply from tech support! Why you guys ignore the problem? I want a clear explanation on this insane decision of whoever is responsible for that idiocy. Thanks in advance. 

could you possibly help me aswell ?

Hi @irina47-27-7

which language version did you buy ? What issues are you having ?

If you bought the game in Poland, there's no english available. 

Hi,

I've just claimed the game for free, but there's no option to run it in English. My Origin account is English, and all of my other games are in English. I happen to be in Ukraine at the moment, but that isn't one of the mentioned countries with region locking.

Can I somehow claim the normal English version of the game instead?

Thanks

@LemonWithLime 

The language in the game is tied to the region in which you buy / get the game. Since you are actually in Ukraine, in the game you will only have Russian / Polish.

Please ea, make all languages available to all regions, that really sucks...

This is ridiculous. Why can't I obtain the English version of the game if I live in Russia? Why can't I play the game in its *original* language? I've never had a problem like this, other than with EA and Origin.

You can purchase a boxed version of the game in a country that has English among its options. 

20 effing 19 and I still have to play Sims2 because I refuse to play Sims4 in Russian, Polish or Czech

Hey I would just like to know what exactly has to be done to make it work in english. DON"t tell us that if you bought game in Poland it's only in Polish - tell us WHAT WE WOULD need to do to make it work in english...Fly to UK and buy game there? I don't want to buy boxed game, I want to have it on my account...what do i do?
