EA Play ==> Origin ==> Steam
I have an Origin account where I DO own Sims 4.
I have a Steam account where DON'T own Sims 4.
Would it be possible to connect/ link my Origin account to my Steam account to play Sims 4?
Of course I could just play it on Origin but I just want to know if I can play it on Steam platform with the EA Play coming to Steam. :)

You would need to get a steam key from Origin.

I'm trying to link my accounts because I can't seem to get Origin to work properly on my PC now. IDK what happened. Everytime I open Origin I get some sort of Error...
Playing it on Steam would be more convinient for me since I am mostly always using Steam and it would be easier to update the game. :)

Must buy it on Steam. It links the steam account to Origin launcher, not the other way. And it uses their own background launcher for their new steam releases. So if Origin does not work, this might not work either.

The Sims 4 still requires Origin to be played, so it won't solve anything about the issue(s) you have with Origin.

Use their own forums for help or contact their support.

You only own those games on Origin as long as you have EA Play.

If you moved them to Steam they'd be yours forever so I doubt they would let you do that.

Also sometimes they will remove the game from EA Play as well.

Then another issue would appear if you had added it to Steam and it's removed and you trying to play it, Origin would stop you but then you can't just buy the game again.

No, EA games cannot be transferred to steam

All EA games sold on steam are linked to your Origin account. To play the game you either login to to steam or use origin launcher.
