So now I'm out $10 and have nothing to show for it (time to deal with Origin customer support for the next 3 months, hurray! /sarcasm).ДЄnyways, I suppose I'll try and see if Steam's customer support will match Origin's prices for me seems as though there's nothing else I can do.Delight in the quaint charm of The Simsв„ў 4 Cottage Living Expansion Pack with animal friends, garden-to-table meals, and a close-knit community. the way I managed to fix that was by copy-pasting the Steam Bin folder for the main game (excluding the code_version file) and overwriting Origin's Bin files (so I'm pretty sure that now Origin uses Steam's folders instead of its own, though why it didn't want to work right in the first place I don't know).

Will this work for EP's and/ or Stuff Packs (I've heard Stuff Packs are easier to transfer.)? Or am I stuck waiting until the Expansion Packs go on sale on Steam?ДЄlternatively, does anyone think it might be possible to get Steam to price-match Origin's sale prices? In other words, how flexible is Steam's customer support? 'Cause I might wanna try this instead if there's no easy way to move Origin stuff over to Steam.Д¬urses. I decided to shell out ten bucks over there to see if Generations was any good.

Origin's got most of the Sims expansion/stuff packs at half price -now-,
