Alrighty so i found a fix that worked for me!
if you open Sims 4 through the installed folder in steamapps/common/The Sims 4/Game/Bin
Open TS4_x64
This then loaded the game into the EA App and opened it.
Hope this helps you guys
locke_stryfe You're the third person I've seen with this issue after buying Sims 1 and 2, although the others didn't already own Sims 4. So I'm trying to gather some info. Please let me know what country you're in. If you use a VPN, try disabling it.
Additionally, try again to launch Sims 4, through Steam, and when it fails, please create an EA App error report, as described here:
https://help.ea.com/en/help/ea/ea-app/run-ea-error-report/
Post the report ID in a reply here, and I'll send it on.

Came across lockes' post, i ended up writing my own forum post however, as you've pointed out i downloaded sims 4 with the purchase of the Legacy Edition.
Never owned Sims 4 before and also running into the same issue.
I have the same problem. I bought Sims legacy edition through Steam. Sims 1 and 2 works well since it doesn't need EA app. It was the first time I downloaded Sims 4. My Steam account is linked to my EA app. I did everything stated on this post. It's still not working. There is always a window "you don't have access" on my EA app. I'm in Canada.
