Steam DLC and the EA app

Question

Hello!&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Is there a way to buy dlc on the ea app that you currently own on steam? I bought dlc on steam a long time ago when i first started playing sims but later uninstalled it. a few years later, i now mainly play through the ea app.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; When i look at 'manage dlc' under the ea app, the dlc i purchased through steam are in the list even though i never linked my account to ea (to my memory). Whenever i click on the dlc packs through the ea store, i can not buy it again, i can only 'manage through steam'.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Is there a way to fix this or am i just screwed to play through steam only? Please help, Im not sure what to do.&nbsp;

L0velyBr0kenN1xx&nbsp; If you're still trying to do this, there are a couple of approaches you can take.&nbsp; One is to temporarily (or permanently, if you prefer) unlink your Steam and EA accounts, and perhaps clear the EA App's cache afterwards:

The other is to try to buy the content on the EA website.&nbsp; Google the names of the pack(s) you want and find their product pages.&nbsp; I am not completely sure this will work, in that you may still be directed to Steam, so try one stuff pack or kit first.&nbsp; If the EA App still tells you to install through Steam, then unlink your accounts and try again.
