My sims 3 ambitions not playable; doesn't show in launcher.

Sims 3 ambitions appears as downloaded on my origin account, and on logos of games on my launcher. However, it does not show up on the expansions and stuff section of my game launcher. The content no longer exists in game, I have changed laptop, since i last remember seeing the content. I have tried uninstalling and redownloading the ambitions from origin. I have also attempted the "repair" option on origin, to no avail.

  • It happened on my pets so I contacted ea support they said It was 'disabled due to suspicious activity' even though I didn't play it 😠☹️ 

  • Contact ea support they should help because like mine it was probably disabled due to suspicious activity

    Im having the same problem and i have followed all the directions but still no luck. For me, its Ambitions and Showtime that won't show up in my Sims 3 launcher. I bought both of these EPs using Origin and ambitions was working for a while, but I bought showtime then the both wouldn't work. I have uninstalled everything multiple time encluding Origin it self. I would really appreciate some help with this issue. Thank you.

    @Youmedevin  This thread is six years old, and most of the info in it is probably no longer relevant.  So I'm going to lock it here.

    Having said that, if you have an expansion or stuff pack that shows as installed in Origin but isn't listed in the launcher, try repairing the game: open your Origin game library, right-click on the Sims 3 icon, and select Repair.

    If that doesn't help, you may have a bad product code, and you'll need to contact EA customer support to find out.  Ask not only whether the pack is on your account but whether its product code is active and valid.

    If you do in fact have a bad code, a support rep would need to remove it from your account before you could purchase it again.
