Steam or EA?

If I buy this game on Steam, will the pack that comes with for The Sims 4 work with my Sims 4 game that is installed on EA? I would prefer to install this game thru Steam than EA at this point in time.

Because TS4 is free probably yes it will link it on EA
I guess it will work like every other ea game : launch the game on Steam and it will register the content on EA

I purchased TS1+2 pack on EA App with the 10% gamepass discount though and it works flawlessly

According to some sources, if you run Sims 4 through Steam, it will pick up on your EA App expansions as well. I cannot confirm nor deny this.

I do recommend however getting this game on Steam as it's easier to refund. The game might not run on your PC at all and even if it does, it's littered with crashes for most systems. EA most likely won't give you refund even if it doesn't work. source

Yes this is also my reasoning lol. Refunding on Steam would be easier. I would love all my Sims games to just be on Steam period, but they're all on EA (including Sims 2 Ultimate Collection). I think I will just buy it on here even if the Sims 4 pack doesn't work.

Funny thing, sometime in the past few hours they've moved all The Sims 1 discussions from

Unfortunately, the story that was available on that URL I posted yesterday of a person who could neither start their game nor get a refund from EA was, most certainly accidentally, lost in the process. It can't be found on either sub.

Now I look like a right twit, posting baseless claims.

Lol no worries. I am just seeing this now. I ended up buying the game on EA just because all my Sims games are on there, and I started wondering if there would be an issue with the pack for Sims 4 since I have that game on EA. I didn't want Steam to automatically download it or something. Anyways, Sims 1 is working fine for me, the only issue I had so far was one crash on a busy community lot. I am still happy I picked it up for 20 bucks even just for nostalgia sake.
