@Scorpina2009 - IDK if you meant that you would uninstall and reinstall your games from programs files. EA add on and custom worlds have nothing at all to do with the game installs. I also don't know what else you have done to get the EA (or custom) worlds to be recognized by the game after they go missing.
I had a recent glitch that caused a few custom worlds to 'pretend' that they were not installed, but I tested by reinstalling one of the worlds -- the launcher complained that it was truly still installed.
So what I did to fix this is all from the launcher. With the game not running, only the Launcher. Go to the button for Installed Content, look at the tab for Lots. Uninstall the worlds that are not showing up. For me it was - Moonbase Charlie II, The Winchester Farming Community, Ziwa Bonde and Forever the 50s Populated. All EA downloaded worlds show up in the LOTs tab along with custom worlds because you download them from the store and install with the launcher. My other custom and EA worlds had been showing up for work, so I was only concerned with the missing ones.
When the recalcitrant worlds have been uninstalled from the Laucher, then ... go to the downloads tab, reinstall the worlds from the launcher. On slower computers this messing with the Launcher this can take a while.
