Hey I’m having trouble transferring the sims 4 dlc’s to steam. When I use steam it says I don’t own the dlcs I bought on origin. Someone said I should uninstall the sims on origin but when I do that the sims uninstalls on steam too. If you have any advice I would be so thankful.
@Evolvoz You can't transfer your packs directly to Steam. What you need to do is install the game through Steam (and download any packs you bought through Steam), then login to Origin and download the packs you own there. Origin will download the packs into your Steam install.
@mlshay Substitute the EA App where I said Origin, since Origin no longer works in Windows. (This thread is somewhat old.). The idea is that when you install Sims 4 through Steam, you can download any packs you own in the EA App directly from the EA App as well, and they'll combine with the Steam install. This doesn't work in reverse though: you can't download the packs you own in Steam when you've installed Sims 4 through the EA App.
If you're still confused, try it and see how it works for yourself. Or don't use Steam at all, if you don't already own content there. It's simpler to only use the EA App.
Hello as of July 2024 Is it still true that if I purchase base game on steam that I can import expansions bought from origin. Also do we know if this still works when done on Mac?
Thank you!
@danislilstar No Steam content will work in macOS. Everything needs to be owned in the EA App, or Origin if your version of macOS is too old to support the App.
The base game is free, so you can redeem it in the EA App without involving Steam.
