I have no Idea where to ask this so here it goes..
I am in LOVE with the sims games since it came out.

Now,that Sims 3:Supernatural came out while a go and I waited for so long to come out in the steam as well,but for some reason it isn't.

now,I really want it,like,BADLY and I can't wait any longer!

Can anyone know when will it come out in the steam? or is there a way to buy it and play it here?

Thank you.

I think the sims is a EA game is it not? I know since the release of Origin (EA's version of steam) they have reduced the availability of some games on steam in hopes of directing people towards their service. You could try looking on origin if you are looking for the digital download as it could be one of these games (like BF3). Can't say forsure tho.

I tried the "Origin" thing but it's hopeless...for some reason it just makes to go to the sims 3 website where it's already has all my games! so I can't play it there (I guess?)

I've attempted to install the other games onto Steam, but it won't link the two together... it's weird how it works, but you can't access the expansion through the main play for Sims 3 on steam, it's weird and difficult to explain.

At any rate, you can download origin and access the games on their launcher to download, but you have to download the games all over again. Also, if you have any store content from the sims 3 website, from my experience you won't have access to that stuff from origin b/c it downloads to the steam version (even if you uninstall it).

It's far too complicated, the easier solution would be for EA to get over themselves and just let steam have access to the games when they are released. They are probably losing money in the long run by not allowing the loyal steam users access the expansions and dlc on time. I know more than one person who won't switch from steam to origin, not just because of the problems that you encounter, but because of loyalty to steam.

Add non-steam game until it actually gets onto steam. Steam overlay should still work.
