endless downloads
The Sims3 island paradise Unlimited downloads from EA Launcher. It repeats even after clearing the app cache. I ran game recovery and the download repeats infinitely. How can I get it to download pro...

@djs1032 No EP10 folder means Island Paradise isn't installed. Please run the search again while the EA App is trying to download the pack; you can pause the download if it's faster than the search process.
So, in the first place, the download repeats infinitely and appears as preparing, but it cannot be downloaded due to a download error.
@djs1032 That's a separate problem, and a Known Issue with no fix at the moment. The only workaround that's ever helped is reinstalling Origin. Even though Origin will just show you a prompt to install the EA App (even if the App is already installed), Origin may still download your missing pack in the background. If you'd like to try, this download link should still work:
I have already reinstalled Origin. Unable to uninstall and reinstall The Sims. Is there any other way?
@djs1032 Sorry for the late reply. I wasn't suggesting you'd need to uninstall Sims 3, just try to download any missing packs in the EA App, then close the App (and possibly the EABackgroundService) and open Origin. The idea is that Origin would "see" the packs queued up and download them for you even as it told you to use the App instead.
If you need to uninstall Sims 3 for a different reason, use the free version of Revo Uninstaller.
