The Sims 4 language issue (game fully in English despite French settings)

Hello,

I am experiencing a language issue with The Sims 4.

My game is set to French, but the entire game appears in English (menus, texts, and gameplay elements).

This issue persists even after updating and repairing the game.

Could you please help me fix this problem?

I have attached screenshots showing that my game is set to French, but appears in English in-game.

Thank you in advance.

  • Problem solved, it was the old traces of Steam and its games that were completely messing up my Sims game. I managed to remove everything from Steam and reinstall the EA App with The Sims 4, and now everything is working perfectly again.

    Have you tried a clean reinstall ? 

    Follow instructions here for a clean uninstall: 

    📓[GUIDE] [PC] How to Clean-uninstall Sims 4 | EA Forums - 12636503 

    Make sure both Steam and EA app versions are gone completely from your computer

    After that either reinstall the steam or the ea app version.

    If you have packs you own on steam but not on ea app, use the steam version, otherwise i'd go with ea app.

    I think I may have found the problem with my game. I just checked my game settings, and if I show you a picture of my Sims 4 game, maybe that’s what’s causing the issue.

    I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help and support, but I’ve been dealing with this issue for over a week now. I hope the next update will fix the problem (fingers crossed lol). Thanks again. Kind regards, a French Sims fan.

    I'm totally out of ideas then

    Hopefully someone else has other ideas.

    I uninstalled Steam to avoid any conflict (I had The Sims 4 on it) and I’m currently repairing the game through the EA app. I’ll test again once it’s finished. My game is still having the same issue even after uninstalling Steam.

    To my knowledge the language settings should be saved in the registery  so bit unsure what would it make revert.

    To be sure, you just have the ea app installation. Nothing steam ?

    I make the change every day, which reverts to English, and then I repair the game, but when I launch my game, everything is back in English.

  • Hi Rexy4230​ 

    could you post a screenshot of your language settings in ea app ? Have you tried switching to another langauge and back to french ?
