@Shortono What message do you see when you try to install Sims 4 through the EA App? There are a couple of known errors with installing Sims 4.
The Steam "you don't have access" error seems to be a current issue across many EA games owned in Steam. Given how suddenly it appeared, it might disappear soon too; these types of issues do tend to be cleared up rather quickly. So the easiest path might be waiting a few hours to a day for the Steam version to start working. But if that doesn't happen, you'd rather play through the EA App, let me know about the App's download error.
@rojmeister1 I've merged your post with another thread covering the same issues. Please see the above.
There are no error codes, just suggests i try later. this is also what i find so frustrating.
In the steam version it suggested my version was not compatible, because my EA play version is the digital deluxe (?)@Shortono I understand there's no error code, but I was asking about an error message. There are a few common EA App error messages that don't all mean the same thing.
The Steam issue has its own master thread now:
As you can see, a number of games are affected, and EA is looking into the issue.
I can't reproduce it now, so sorry that I cannot add the error message. After my last attempts the install seemed to go through but was not downloading anything.
I cancelled it all, started to install through steam, stopped the download and turned off my machine. After about 12 hours I turned it on again, tried to install though the EA app (which worked, with the steam install being at about 80% or so) and I quickly uninstalled the steam version.
Now the game works, but I don't know what solved the issue, my apologies to people reading this later.
