How To: Play The Sims™ 4 in another language!
The Sims™ 4 is available in 18 languages, independent from the languages that Origin Client and Store support. This includes Simplified Chinese which was released in January!
If you wish to play the game in a different language than English, follow these steps:
In your Origin Client, once logged in, go to My Game Library.
On The Sims™ 4 Base Game, right click and choose Game Properties.
Click on Advanced Launch Options and choose the desired language from the drop-down menu.
You can choose from the following:
- Chinese (Simplified or Traditional)
- Czech
- Danish
- Dutch
- German
- English (U.S.)
- Finnish
- French (France)
- Italian
- Japanese
- Korean
- Norwegian
- Polish
- Portuguese (Brazil)
- Russian
- Spanish (Spain)
- Swedish
Depending on the version of the game you have purchased, you will see a list with all or some languages from this list corresponding to that version of the game.
Once a language has been chosen, the game will download, install, and verify all the files needed to support the language.
Note that it may take some time, as this will occur for every The Sims 4 Pack you own and have installed.
Once all files have been verified and installed, you can continue and play the game!
Note: You can change the language of the game at any time before launching the game. However, you would have to wait for all supporting files to be downloaded, installed, and verified each time you choose to do so.

Happy Simming!
