Cannot Uninstall A Specific Expansion Pack From Steam

I purchased The Sims 3: Supernatural from Steam and after I installed it, my game started freezing and crashing very often. So, I need to uninstall that specific Sims 3 expansion pack from Steam. Also, The Sims 3: Supernatural does not show up in my Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features, where you click to uninstall programs. So since it doesn't show up in the control panel or in My Computer or My Games, I need to know how to uninstall this specific expansion pack from Steam. Please, I really need this resolved. I've looked for help on Steam as well and this problem has not been resolved.

    I am trying to uninstall a specifc expansion pack of the Sims 3 on Steam. I can't seem to uninstall a certain expansion pack, and when I look for it under Control Panel and uninstall a program, the expansion packs aren't there, just the main game.

    Does anyone know how to do this on Steam?

    This isn't Steam, and this isn't the EA Help Center.  This is the Answers HQ website, and you posted in the wrong forum here, where we discuss the website itself, not any game.

    As far as I understand, you can't do so through Steam, sorry.

    games cannot be removed from a steam account to uninstall a game through steam go to your game library  right click the game name in your list of games icon-delete local content  or on the game icon list name of the game-properties the third tab local files-delete local game content  (the game name in your list list icon will/should then be greyed out you can  use the show installed games only in your list of games if you don't want to see the game in your list of games and can you should be able to install your game later on if you wish by unhideing the game and right clcik install )

    i replied to in your other* thread  🙂 if a game is installed via orign or disks then they can be uninstalled via the control panel , steam has it's own/system way of installing games

    is your the sims 3 base game from a disk or origh ? as taht maybe what  the issue is orign and disks work together, steam does not work with orign and or disks steam versions only work with steam you can get your code from steam and redeem it on your orign account then download the expansion pack from there
