New to Sims 4

Elfilis

Ok so I have started playing the sims 4 recently and I’m really enjoying it and I was considering getting some expansion packs in time but I was just wondering if I did purchase would I be able to keep those purchases for if I ever swap to another laptop. 

I have a windows laptop and I had to download the EA app in order to download the sims 4. I had signed into my EA account and then I downloaded the sims 4 and when I opened the sims 4 it welcomes me with my EA username and profile pic. Basically what I’m wanting to ask is if I were to purchase any expansion packs, will those purchases be linked to my EA account and therefore carry over if I were to load the app on another windows laptop? Or would those purchases only be tied to the current laptop I have? Also if I were to get an Xbox or ps4 or whatever would those purchases carry to those consoles? 

Sorry for the stupid questions say I’m not as familiar with EA compared to Nintendo. Thank you in advance!

  • Nothing beats the original sims for nostalgia! Was around 17 when I first played it. Sometimes I listen to the build mode music and it takes me back. I think as long as you sign into the same EA account you’ll be able to download them to any other laptop or pc but I wouldn’t imagine the same would apply to the PlayStation versions otherwise you’d be getting the PlayStation versions for free and Sony loses money so I doubt it works that way. I’m a fan of command and conquer so I also bought those from the EA site a while back.

    Ahh ok thank you for letting me know! I don’t know who owns which console these days lol. Say I only play the ps2 for hit and run and omg my graphics are so bad compared to the Xbox or pc versions lol! As long as I can keep my purchases haha! I’ll have to see the first sims now see how they compare! It’s amazing how games evolve over time!
