steam and ea
I have the sims 4 on steam. All of my DLCs are on steam. When I go through steam to launch the sims, it will not launch as the EA servers screw up and cannot seem to work with steam. I then booted ...

@puzzlezaddict tried that twice, both times unsuccessful :/
the EA app does load, and at first I tried to play Sims on EA app, though as previously mentioned I couldn't access my DLCs, which despite being a flaw I believe isn't an actual bug/issue.
I've had other issues with the EA app in the past, but recently it's actually been working for me well, so I think this is a Steam-EA problem.
I've just tried to sign into the EA app with Steam credentials and it says 'You must be online when logging in for the first time.'
which is weird, because if it means Steam, I'm logged in and online, and if it means internet, I am also.. online?

@quotidi Can you sign into ea.com with your Steam credentials? I'm wondering whether there's a problem with the link between your accounts, or with the EA App validating that link. Even if this is something that EA support has to help with (and we may or may not be at that point), it would be helpful to narrow things down.
@puzzlezaddictyep just done that, seemed to work fine. I should mention that steam seems to see the sims as running for a few seconds, though I might've already mentioned that.
I also then signed out of the EA app and signed in with steam, hoping to kinda force them to be linked, but it didn't work - I did get a different error message! it was 'encountered an unknown error' and told me to restart the app and try again. I did just that, then got the same error message as before.
(I should mention - thanks so much for all of the help, despite it not working you've been very kind)
