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...

:) Okay, guys, after an hour or so chatting with the help, I can't say I have a solution that's any good, but it's fixed for now.
First I tried all the standards. Ambitions is the only one missing. So, I tried to go back to Origin and re-download it. Nothing happened. I tried all the different ways to fix the download issue for Origin (reinstall Origin, run as admin, download in safe mode thru Origin settings). None of these things worked. So, I uninstalled the entire game and reistalled thru Origin, which said it would include Ambitions, but when I hit play, the expansion was still missing from my launcher.
That's when I talked to someone.
She gave me a new game code.
But, after redeeming, I could not install it, same problem as the beginning: won't download. I repeated some Origin troubleshooting, uninstalling, etc. I restarted my computer. Nothing, still. While relaying my problem to ANOTHER EA helper, I curiously right clicked the game and hit "repair" because I saw it mentioned before. That worked. It scanned for files, then suddenly began installing Ambitions. Once done, I hit "play" on the Ambitions "download complete" in the download manager. It launched the game launcher which congratulated me on my new content. I assume I can play the game in its full glory now, but, I'm not sure if this will be something I come across every time.
I should note, I tried to do "repair" several times before this last one, and it was greyed out. I couldn't actually hit repair. For some reason, maybe after all the uninstalling, it let me.
Still having these problems in 2018. Jesus.
Happy Simming, yall
