@EA_Darko I've followed everything you advised but I keep getting "Error Launching Game: The game The Sims 4 Digital Deluxe does not appear to be installed. Please install it or try relaunching the game."

@Cheri9803 When you install Sims 4 from Origin, only your Origin-owned packs get installed. If you want your Steam-owned packs, you need to install them through Steam, and in order for that to work, you need to have also installed the base game from Steam. Once it's installed, you can then download your other packs from Origin and launch the game from Steam, that is, if it's working properly.
The error you're getting is because Steam doesn't recognize the game when it's installed from Origin.
- @puzzlezaddict I understand that. I guess the question I should really be asking is how do I link the two together?
@Cheri9803 You uninstall the Origin version of the game and install it from Steam. Once you've installed the base game and any Steam-owned packs, you sign into Origin and download the packs you own there. Origin will (should) recognize the Steam-installed game and let you add the rest of your packs.
