I'm missing some of my worlds.
I need help. I decided to install Sims 3 again after two years. I have all of the packs for the game and Dragon Valley, Hidden Springs, and Monte Vista, but when I looked them up on my Origin account ...

I bought Dragon Valley on disk from NewEgg and registered it on the Sims 3 store. The only way I can install it is through Purchases by clicking on the DOWNLOAD button and NOT clicking the link in Purchases that takes you to the item in the store. The store and Origin both want me to buy it.
If you bought the disk and still have the inserts from the box, try registering the expansion on the Sims 3 store. If that doesn't work and it isn't showing up for download in Purchases, then you may have to buy it again as EA and Origin both refused to issue me a replacement key for this issue.
I hope this helps resolve your issue. I find it frustrating when I can't install something I paid for. Especially if it's a new shrink-wrapped package that says the key has already been used. I detest stores that resell games that have been opened and returned. That's also why I won't buy used games online or in thrift stores and pawn shops because it is highly unlikely that the keys can be registered a second time.
At least I am able to download Dragon Valley manually, but it is maddening that it doesn't load through Origin like all the other EPs and Stuff Packs.
