In the latest Origin update, the location and the layout of The Sims 3 games have changed. Before the update, the base game and each and every expansion pack and stuff pack had its own individual tile.
Before the update, it looked like this:
After the update, you only have the base game showing:
To find your expansion and stuff packs now, right-click on the Sims 3 icon and choose View Game Details. Scroll down and you'll see them there.
As you can see in the above screenshot, some EPs are coloured in, some are greyed out and others have a + sign on them.
- Coloured means that you own it and have it installed
- Greyed out means that you own it, but it's not installed
- + sign means you don't own it at all
To download your games, hover the cursor (your mouse) over the game you want (you can also click on them or right click on them) and select download. Origin will then startup the normal downloading process for your game.
