    @Schiwy3J  Your games are owned by your EA account, not your computer or your particular install of the EA App.  So no, you won't lose anything if you uninstall and reinstall the EA App, or the games for that matter.  Just make sure to sign into the same EA account you've been using this whole time, and you'll be fine.

    @puzzlezaddict I just switched from Origin to the EA app.. I have a few hard copy games (in this case the sims 4 is what I'm referring to) and a few I bought through Origin and now ea app. If I uninstall the sims 4 to try and fix a bug, will I lose all the games I purchased via download?

    @jakatie007  No, you shouldn't lose anything.  Any content that shows as owned in your EA App game library will still be owned and available to download after you uninstall.
