Re: Missing Purchased Content from Sims 3 Store

@BakedBrii  If you check your order history on ea.com, you may find placeholder entries for the missing purchases.  It's difficult to tell what each purchase is from the info there, but the entries do list the points you've spent.  For example, my most recent "purchase" used 45 SimPoints to complete a set, and the info looks like this:

If you go back far enough, you should find all of your purchases, and it's possible you'll be able to match the cost in points to each set.  With that and the order number, you may be able to explain the issue to a support rep and get some help.  I've personally had a range of experiences with support, ranging from having to explain a store issue over and over to finding someone who knew what they were looking at and was ready to fix it before I'd finished typing, so if you're not getting anywhere with a support rep, it's worth trying again later.

On that note, I'd also recommend trying EA Help on Twitter, especially during U.S. business hours.

    That is very good advice. I will look through my order history to see if I can match up some purchases with items I am missing. Thank you!

    UPDATE: Looked through my order history on Origin and it doesn't display any orders placed before August 2013. I know I have orders placed before then because I purchased The Sims 3 prior to August 2013. I will have to keep digging to see if I can find something else to prove I have other purchases.

    I am in the same boat.  Have a new computer so there was no cache to clear.  How do we go about getting what we paid for?

    @debraacts  What content are you missing that you paid for?  If you refresh the store page a few times, does the content show as owned?  Please check both your purchase history (Store > My Store Account > Purchase History) and the items' product pages.

    Similar issue here. Mine, even things I played with even just a couple weeks ago, have entirely disappeared. My entire store history is gone despite that some of it is newer than you are describing too, even on the sims3.com website where they were purchased. It flashed in the history on the screen then disappeared so the data is there somewhere. I wonder if this isn't on purpose?
