I own newer packs than pets. The packs I own are:
Island Paradise, Supernatural, Katy Perry stuff, University, Generations, Seasons, Town life stuff, Ambitions, High end loft stuff
@nekonaja Great, that might work. (Might.) Which packs, if any, do you have installed right now, and is the game currently running properly?

I installed all the packs I mentioned through Origin. And the game is running properly.

@nekonaja Okay, you could try installing Pets via disc, to see whether it works. If you get the disc authorization error, manually uninstall Island Paradise and reinstall it through Origin.
[Edit: These specific instructions are only for macOS. In Windows, sometimes installing via disc into an Origin-controlled install can make Origin recognize and load the disc-installed packs.]

The video in this thread shows how to do it:Just try Pets first, because it's less complicated than installing Late Night. If you can't get it to work, you can use the manual uninstall guide to get rid of Pets.- 5 years ago@puzzlezaddict I see now that this is a thread for mac, and I use windows pc
