@ArkemosBloodmaw Thanks for that! I just wanted to confirm, did you also try doing a Clean Boot?
In either case, I shall be looking into this and I hope to get back to you as soon as possible!
@EA_Kristi Have you found out what is going on or are we still in the dark on this matter, cause I have tried just about everything that I could think of.

Sorry, just for recap since it's been awhile
- Do you have the disc or download version of the base game ?
- Do you have the disc or download version of ambitions ?
- What's your base game version ?

Seeing as I don't like to answer things out of order for it tends to confuse some people..(like me for example)
1. I have the base game as a disc originally but it got added to my origin library after one of the newer expansions was released.
2. I do have the disc version of Ambitions (along with every other expansion and 2 stuff, and one from origin) and ambitions was working before origin kept saying that the sims 3 needed to update and decided to remove everything. Basically forcing me to reinstall everything, which was when the problems started to arise.
3. By base game I assume you mean the current version? I believe it's version 1.69.43.024017, if the base version is needed with no expansions or stuff packs I would have to install the game on a different computer to provide the correct answer.

With 1.69 you need to install the download version of ambitions as they are saved to a different path.
This is something I still need to verify but disc and download version now install to a different path which might confuse the game.
Have you tried repairing the game through Origin yet ?

Ten times to be truthful, I tried to repair it ten times on origin and it still doesn't want to show up no matter what I try, as for doing a manual installation of sims 3 ambitions, I tried to install it into the origin folder, which worked for a moment until Origin said that the version was out of date and removed it, and after doing an uninstallation of it on origin and reinstallation as well, I always check on the 'Expansions & Stuff' tab and arrange it by title, which seems to put them in alphabetical order and it still doesn't show up as activate or anything., I will also provide a screenshot or two of what I currently see on my origin panel and on my launcher of the sims 3.
EDIT: I just noticed that the second screenshot was showing my favorite song by tombstone XD

Did you check in which folder the EP is installed yet ?
Should be in programs(86x)\Origin_games\thesims3\EP02

Just checked a moment ago and it says it's installed, along with every other EP, I literally have no idea what's going on.
