have to buy game again on steam

★ Novice

I've been playing the sims 4 on my computer for a couple of months and then I signed on to my mom's computer to play with my expansion packs while I was staying at her house and now that I've went back home it says  that I have bought the game and I need to buy and download it again even though it's still on my computer. I refuse to buy a $40 game again because of whatever mess this is how can I fix this?

@dandipup Did you buy it on Steam before or on Origin ?

You def don't need to buy again. Did you log in with the correct account ?

@dandipup Make sure that you are on the right EA account. You can never loose a game from the account once the game code is redeemed. Best to contact EA help to get this checked.

I've checked several times that I'm on the right account and I'm struggling to find contact info for EA that works

Did you buy the game on Origin or Steam ?

I bought it through origin and I have checked several times that it's the right account. The game shows up in my game library with the correct amount of hours I've played but when I try to open it it sends me to steam  to buy it again

@dandipup Looks like that you might have purchased the Sims 4 base game twice. Once from origin and once from steam. Can you check and see if thats the case?

@dandipup Could you add a screenshot of the message ? Is your Origin Account connected to Steam at all ?
