@DDRacing29 OK. maybe It's some rights issue.

Could you try starting both Origin and Steam as admin before the starting/installing the game ?

Also try opening the the ports: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/opening-tcp-or-udp-ports-for-connection-issues/

@DDRacing29 In your Steam Library, click on the game in the list of games, then, click on the cogwheel icon on the right, followed by Manage and then on CD Keys. Do you see the game code? If yes, than you can redeem that on Origin.

yes i have tried that already @crinrict. I tried signing out, closing everything on steam and origin, ending the task in task manager, launch steam in admin mode and it still didnt matter. i kept getting the same issues i was having when origin asking for a code. Did nothing different.

there no CD Key. I wish it was just easy.

i just sent Steam a refund request. I can't get this to work and this shouldn't be all this hard for the game to work and  I'm tried of Origin vs. Steam fight and ill just get a refund and when Sims gets released on sale on Humble Bundle or Origin ill rebuy it and just deal with it then. I'm not spending $40 on it on origin when steam as it for $20 but sadly for whatever reason mine not working when using steam and Steam just can't give me a code and be done with it.  

Thank you to all for the help and sadly this issue isn't and I don't think it will ever be. But thank you to the ones that help and tried. I deeply appreciate it.

@DDRacing29 Hope there will be a sale for you soon.

I pretty much had the same problem with you. I buy The Sims 4 on Steam, when I try to run it, it requires Origin to be installed and it prompted/asked my The Sims 4 Product Key (which I do not have from Steam). Think starting a game you properly buy shouldn't be this hard

@sarashahnaz and just to be sure, you did buy the base game and not a DLC for Sims 4?
