As mentioned earlier, keeping up with the DLC can do some serious damage to your wallet. However, being able to access and use DLC bought on Origin from a Steam-bought copy of The Sims 4 is pretty great. Just like if you own a game for PlayStation 4, you don’t get a free copy of that game for Xbox One (barring a few special circumstances). Just because it’s now available on another platform, that doesn’t mean you automatically get a copy just because you bought it on the original platform. If you want to play The Sims 4 on Steam, then you need to buy The Sims 4 on Steam. Well, the good news is that if you plan to play The Sims 4 on Steam, everything you’ve accumulated on Origin, from DLC packs all the way down to save files, will port over to Steam. If you’re a big Sims fan and you go all-in on the series, that’s a pretty big investment.
It’s a life simulator, of sorts, so there’s all sorts of room for different expansions. The Sims series has always featured a lot of downloadable content.
That batch includes big titles like Titanfall 2, Dead Space 3, and The Sims 4. In their ongoing effort to bring their content to steam, Electronic Arts recently added another batch of games to Valve’s service.
