@volkypr Are you seeing the issue where you click the Download button and nothing happens? If so, please try this workaround:

If your computer runs Windows, just clear Origin's cache (again) instead of running the Origin reset tool.

I haven't heard of the Origin technical preview causing any issues in Windows, at least not this time around, but you can try disabling it as well.
If this isn't your issue, please let me know whether you have a Download button for University Life at all, and if so, what happens when you click it.
- @puzzlezaddict That second link is what I tried, ive done it twice now, I do infact have the option to download in my origin launcher, I click it and nothing happens. I have a theory on what might be happening but if it is correct I dont know how I would go about fixing it.
I admittedly havent played in a while and I think I might have previously downloaded university life, but im not sure?? Im only basing this off the fact that I have this particular folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 3\EP09" and the icon file seems to look like the university logo. Is it possible that its already downloaded but its just not registering it as downloaded and not running it when i boot up my game?@volkypr Are you trying to download from the Sims 3 launcher? If a pack is listed in the Expansions & Stuff tab in the launcher, that means it's already installed. All you need to do to get it to load in-game is check it off. The Install button is supposed to be in case you don't see a pack listed that you own.
- @puzzlezaddict Im trying to download it from the Origin launcher, In the Sims 3 launcher I check my installed packs and it shows me all of the my DLC except university. Im honestly stumped.
