    Uninstall your most recent EP then download and reinstall the digital version from Origin. Instructions here.

I uninstalled the Sims Supernatural and all of the downloads that are connected to it and re-downloaded it but it is still saying that it can't find the disk. It starts up and acts like it's going to play but on the family selection screen it says can not find disk and sometimes asks if I want to retry and sometimes just kicks me out.

Presumably you've manually downloaded and applied the patch for the digital version of the game?

    Yes. Most of my stuff is from discs and two are downloads.

      Have you cleanly uninstalled the whole game and downloaded the base game and all your EPs and SPs through Origin, installed them and tried again?
