If i have the game and DLCs through the EA App or the old Origin but download sims 4 on steam am i able to play with all purchased DLCs or would i have to stick with using EA??

As long you have it installed only on Steam yes, if you have it installed on EA APP then remove it first because you run likely in an issue that EA APP will put your DLC in the wrong folder and Steam then can’t find your DLC.

Summary: Your purchase on EA APP is always accessible on Steam or Epic. Don’t forget to link your EA account with Steam.

If you have the game through the EA app there's no need to install it through Steam. Doing that is asking for trouble. Surf these forums. There's at least 4 topics on the main page every day "game won't start", issues with DLC players have for whatever reason purchased [this] DLC through Steam and [that] DLC through EA and they're having issues getting both DLC packs to run.

Stick with the EA app if it's running without any problems for you that way. Uninstall it from and avoid using it on Steam to prevent yourself having any frustrating issues. One or the other, not both.

Maybe we should tell you too if you want sometimes to play on a Mac then you have only access to your DLC which you purchased on EA APP/Origin. DLC which you purchase on Steam works only with Windows/Linux because steam don’t offer a Mac version.

im also looking at you steam for not letting me revert to a prior version or use the game without your client.
