How to download Sims 3 from Steam on Origin?

[hyfrdeanna]

Hello, I'm not sure if this question has been asked before or anything, but I can't find exactly what I'm looking for. I already have TS3 and a bunch of expansions that I downloaded from Steam, but I wanted to update my game to the 1.69 patch so I can have the Expansions/Stuff Pack manager thing in the launcher, but I saw that it is an Origin update only. I want to know if it is possible to move my Sims 3 games from Steam to Origin without losing any of my saves/downloads. Is it possible? And if so, how?

Thanks in advance.

@hyfrdeanna  As Steam installs the game different from EA you need to get the game codes from your Steam account and redeem them in an Origin account and install the game from Origin.
