Sims 4 – EA App Doesn’t Allow Language Change After Repair

puzzlezaddictThank you so much for taking the time to reply to my post and for your detailed explanation 😊 it really helps and actually makes a lot of sense!

I’ve purchased my Sims 4 base game and some DLCs from different regions in the past, and most of my DLCs were later bought in the UK. But I never had any issues with the language settings, even after adding new content from the UK. That only started happening recently.

I did try reinstalling The Sims 4 from scratch through the EA App, but unfortunately, the only language option available is still English, as shown in the picture I attached in my last post. No luck there...

However, I found a workaround online: if you uninstall the game and reinstall it through Steam, it gives you multiple language options, including Traditional Chinese. So now the issue is kinda resolved~~ The only difference is that I have to launch the game via Steam instead of the EA App from now on.

But yah~~ at least I can play it in the language I want again! Thanks again for your support and help! 🙏🙏🙏

Louisa0926  There is a language-locked version of Sims 4 that only includes English, and it's sold in the U.K. and maybe elsewhere (but not in the U.S.).  Have you ever bought Sims 4 content in Britain, or perhaps bought a code that might have originally come from there?  If so, that might have imposed this language-locked version on your account.

To be clear, this can happen after buying DLC even if all your previous content came from elsewhere.

Regardless, you can try uninstalling the game and reinstalling it in Traditional Chinese.  Sometimes the problem is the EA App itself, not the language entitlement.  Let me know what options you have when reinstalling.
