@tjonkan77  Try clearing Origin's cache:

If that doesn't help, please contact EA customer support for help.  I think you can ask a support rep to remove the Steam version of Sims 4 from your Origin account, at which point you should be able to play normally again.

@DaddynGabby  What specific issue are you having?  Yes, Origin is required to play Sims 4 in Windows or macOS, even if you bought the game from Steam.  If Origin isn't working, that can usually be fixed.

No their issue is that refunding a game on steam that they already owned on origin, removes it from steam (correctly) but also their origin copy (incorrectly)
