(If you're not on Windows I'm not sure where your installation folders are, but the idea is the same) Thank you (If you're not on Windows I'm not sure where your installation folders are, but the idea is the same) You might do good for closing and restarting Sims 4 via Steam at this point, and hopefully, as it worked for me, launching it through Steam will now open up Sims 4 with all your DLC installed. I then uninstalled and hid the old installation in the Origin library. Copied over every EP01, FP01, GP01, SP01, all the numbers, from the old installation, into the new Steam installation. Open up in another window the Steam installation, which will be like './Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/The Sims 4'. For me that was 'G:/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4', so try looking around for an 'Electronic Arts' folder, or an 'Origin Games' folder till you find it. So to move all my DLC, I went to where my game was installed originally. Now if you open the instance of Origin that just got launched at the same time you can see a new The Sims 4 with the word STEAM on it. Log in with your account that has The Sims 4 with all your DLC on it. I launched it and it'll prompt you to connect an Origin account.

They might, I mean we can hope! But not right now.Īnyway, downloaded it and everything. Uninstalled the Origin one now, so I just have the Steam install.ĭid you have to buy the base game? How did you do it, if you don't mind letting me know the steps you took? Does steam still have to open Origin to play the game?īought Sims 4 on Steam, sadly you have to do this and I don't think EA is gonna let you properly link and just receive it. I just copied all the expansion files from the Origin one to the Steam install, launched it, all works fine, mods too. Originally posted by dakoda:I just did this, links completely fine, and when you launch it via Steam it will ask to redownload all the packs.
