How can I change the Sims 4 to English?

@bestamaliya
Maybe support can help you and add the English basegame version to your account.

They can't (never mind it's just a gamble who u get I resolved it)

Oh, my apologies. 

For me, the EA version downloaded with just 3 languages. Polish, Russian, and Czech.  I could switch between just those 3 when using setting in the EA launcher.

I live in Ukraine and I want to download Sims4, but it only gives me 3 language options: Polish, Czech and russian. I literally can not play the game in any of these. I tried changin my region, but it doesn't help. I need an English option desperately!

Seems like my version of the game is region locked - I can't choose English as a game language. I own a PC version of The Sims 4 Digital Deluxe with multiple Expansion Packs but when I try to download it the only language options in "Language Preferences" box are Czech, Polish and russian. I've contacted the support on this matter and we went through following steps:

• deleting the base game from my account (or unlinking it)
• installing/uninstalling the base game
• clearing EA App cache
• restarting PC

But that didnt help and they suggested to post my problem here so.. yeah.

The only thing that stands out is that when I go to Manage > Manage add-ons with no Sims 4 installed on PC whatsoever I see this list of Downloadable add-ons with all packs I own and Installed add-ons & in-game content with bonus content from the Digital Deluxe version of the game. Like somehow some remnants of this region locked DD version are still linked to my account even after the support team have deleted it. Though I'm not sure if it's connected to the problem.

I found a workaround for this issue by playing through Steam - you just need to add a free2play version of the base game there and link your EA account - it has no language restrictions and syncs all DLCs that were previously bought on Origin/EA App.

Hello,

I have the same issue. I have had Sims 4 for years and bought it in Poland, therefore, having a region-locked version (limited to Polish, Russian and Czech), which was not that much of an issue in the past. But now that the base game is free, I wanted to have the English (US) language version, as it has many updates (e.g. pronouns) that will not be added to the Polish version, due to language translation difficulties.

I am on a PC with Windows and have the EA app with Sims 4. I have tried many things to change the game's language, but it is impossible to do so because of the regional block that is in the Sims 4 connected to my account. I uninstalled and reinstalled the game many times, as well as changed all the possible settings to English hoping it would do something, but sadly it did not do anything.

Any advice on the matter?

@Bgame23 what I did, to solve the language problem with EA, was install a free VPN and change my location to US. I tried multiple other methods before and got no results, as well as got no real advice from EA Support on the matter, so this might be your best bet.
Hope this helps somewhat

Language Option Missing in Sims 4 Installation via New EA App on Mac. I recently downloaded the new EA app on my Mac and attempted to install The Sims 4. However, during the installation process, I encountered an issue regarding language options. Unfortunately, I couldn't find an option to select English as the language for the game installation. As English is my preferred language, this limitation is causing inconvenience. I wanted to bring this to the EA support team attention in hopes of finding a solution or workaround. Could you please assist me in resolving this matter? It would be greatly appreciated if you could provide guidance on how to proceed with installing The Sims 4 in English via the EA app on my Mac.
