The Sims 4 Steam has no Steam Overlay and disabling Origin In-Game issue.

I have The Sims 4 on Steam and I play through it.

I am able to run the game through Steam, while Origin launcher is active in background.

The game launches and runs fine, however, the Steam Overlay does not show up or run. I have lost the ability to check the Friends tab, taking screenshot and tracking the play time.

Plus, I also have another issue with Origin In-Game.

In Origin, I have disabled Origin In-Game from "Application Settings" and also individually from the game library (Right Click the game cover>Game Properties>Uncheck "Enable Origin In Game for The Sims™ 4 Digital Deluxe"

But when I run the game, it still shows Origin In-Game notifications and I can open it with Shift+F1, despite the fact that I already disabled it from settings as mentioned.

So now, I need solution on how to enable Steam Overlay and completely disable Origin In-Game for The Sims 4.

    Ah yeah denying is the best way to avoid fixing it. So my system is intelligent and it decided to hate EA games right? And even if it is, people at EA should help people to solve it. And please don't tell me to contact support. It's useless, all they've told me was to reinstall everything which i've done. One of my friends refunded the game after playing it for some time because of that, other people just go through the same hassle as me.

    How come this is a "hot" topic here? It doesn't happen just to me or couple of people, it's a mass problem with EA games. the funniest thing is that people can play the games and refund them and EA can't do anything because steam doesn't track the hours played. I know that EA cares about money more than anything so maybe this would makes them fix it. I'm sure people are already abusing this bug to get free games.
