    If you bought a Russian version, English isn't available. You can check what languages are available by going to your local Origin store and checking the product description for Supported Languages.

    To change a language, change your Origin language then reinstall to change the language.

    @HappyNeylian If RU isn't viable for you(i think slovakian/czech are also an option, but I can't confirm that), you can put in for a refund here: http://help.ea.com/en/article/what-s-the-great-games-guarantee/

    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.

    This won't work if the language isn't available. I just had this tested on an RU copy and changing this just broke the game.
