Expansions not showing up in the launcher
So my origins account shows that I have all the expansions installed except for "into the future". However when I launched the game I noticed that I didnt have the option to play in bridgeport. I went...

Hello all!
I have been having very similar problems to all of you, and I think they started when I downloaded World Adventures and Generations. Before that, I had only the base Sims 3 game and Pets. (I also have Sims 4, but I almost never play it.)
First, I got the in-game message that items were missing and had been replaced with something else.
Second, I discovered that my installed content from the Sims 3 store had uninstalled itself.
EA Customer Service had me "repair" the game on origin, and then uninstall Sims 3, Sims 4, and Origin using Revo Uninstaller. I uninstalled and reinstalled.
Instead of fixing the problems, that gave me two new problems:
1. My expansion packs appear in the launcher only half the time.
2. The Launcher won't let me log in on either of my accounts, even though they work fine elsewhere.
EA Customer Service recommended that I install this patch: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/the-sims/the-sims-3/the-sims-3-super-patcher/#pc
I downloaded the patch, but it won't install. The error message on the patch says that Sims 3 isn't installed!
I'm wondering now whether part of the problem is that the following files are all under Origin Games > The Sims 3 > Game > Bin, instead of Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3:
Sims3Launcher.exe
Sims3LauncherW.exe
TS3.exe
TS3W.exe
Thoughts? Since neither of my accounts work, I find it unlikely that BOTH accounts have a glitch, and more likely that Origin's version of Sims 3 has a glitch.
