Re: Sims 4 DLC bought on EA/Origin won't load in Steam
Thank you so much! For Uninstaller the EA sims 4, should I move any folders(tray, saves, mods, etc) out of it before uninstalling?

@Petalcat Sorry for the late reply. The Sims 4 user folder, the one in Documents > Electronic Arts that contains your saves and other user data, shouldn't be removed during the uninstalll process. It's a good idea in general to have backups though, so definitely make copies of those folders if you haven't already.
On the other hand, if you installed Sims 4 into Documents > Electronic Arts, as in, the game's program files are there too and mixed in with the user files, then yes, you'll need to back up anything you don't want to lose. This isn't good practice in general since mixed files can lead to all sorts of complications. Steam at least will install the game elsewhere by default, so you don't need to worry about that problem going forward.
