We are having this problem in February 2023 - with only the Pets and Into the Future Add-ons. SIms3 base game plus 9 other add-ons install correctly, just not Pets and Into the Future. We've be...

I recently downloaded The Sims 3 back onto my computer from the EA app. All of the "Add On" packs that I had originally installed with disks are in game. However, I just purchased two add on games (spent $40) and I cannot find ANY way to install them into the game. When I click Manage Add-Ons the two new games appear at the bottom of the list and say "In-Game Content" where as all the other packs say "installed." When I open the Sims 3 game launcher it does not show the new packs as installed either. Everything I try on the EA app just takes me in circles. How the heck do I INSTALL the packs I just paid for into my game?!
(cm edit - moving to sims board)
were you able to figure it out? i have about 8 add on in game content expansions i can not installl into my game and its driving me insane!!!
Did you eventually find a way to do this - I'm still going around in circles and not loving the idea of having to re-load the app.
The exact same thing happened to me! Did you resolve the issue?
Hello, I had the same problem andI just figured it out. Go to Library, the click on the game and its going to show you 2 section, one that sai overvew and another that sais add-ons. when you gotto add-ons its going to let you download it. then go from there.
My Add ons section doesn't actually let me do anything, there's no clicking anything, no option to install anything. that's the problem.
Hi, I can't add the latest add-on either. Did you ever get a solution? I go through the steps the other player suggested and there is no button to download either.
@lmtv0592 This worked for me as well. Library > click on the game - Manage add-ons > Download
- You need to reinstall Origin. It will give you a message that you need to upgrade to the EA app, but that won’t stop it from installing your EPs and SPs. You just can’t run Origin and the EA app at the same time. It’s a HORRIBLE workaround, but that’s what you need to do.
That is a 100% working work around as of June. Sad that EA sells stuff via their app that they KNOW won't work and EA support is clueless on how to fix. All of their suggestions will get you no where. This actually will.
same here i had to reinstall the sims nothing else worked for me
I am having the same issue I knew I should have bought them from steam and then added the keys from there!
I have the same problem. How did you fix it?
Did you fix this? I have the same problem
