Re: Expansion bought in EA not showing up in Steam Base Game

@livblt  Please add exceptions for not only TS4_DX9_x64, but TS4_x64 and TS4_Launcher_x64 as well; or the entire Bin folder they're in.  Add one for EADesktop.exe too.

    thank youu, i did that too ☹️ 
    but i downloaded in steam again because i think that trying to fix the dlc problem is easier than fixing this one :') 

    and its right, the game works, but the steam is not identifying the dlc's i bought, and they're both in the sims 4 steam foulder (EP05 and EP13)
    i really dont know why the game/steam is not recognizing it ☹️(

  • @livblt  Are your Steam and EA accounts connected again?  If so, delete the EP05 and EP13 folders, restart your computer, repair the game in Steam (it's called "Verify integrity of the game files"), login to Steam and the EA App, and download the packs again, either from Steam or the EA App, wherever you own them.  Then see whether they show up in-game.

    If your accounts are NOT connected, you won't be able to use any packs you bought directly from EA.  You'd of course need to have some EA account connected to your Steam account to play at all; I just mean that the Steam account needs to be connected to the EA account that owns these packs, or else they won't be usable.

    HI, i literally just fixed it !!! 
    and it was a completely different problem 

    my game had that "requires the sims 4 sold separately and all game updates" when i opened the store in game, but it was so subtle that i didnt noticed 

    and with one of your replies from another post i uninstalled the sims 4 and ea app completly and installed again
    this fixed it and showed my bought dlcs!! 
    thank you so much !!!
