Sims 3 expansion packs missing from launcher

Hello. This is a last resort for me. I am extremely upset.

So I have all of the Sims 3 expansions packs, some stuff packs, and some worlds as well. I had made a second EA account on accident. When I got my two accounts merged, most of my expansion packs, and all of my stuff packs disappeared in the Sims 3 launcher, but they are showing they are downloaded on EA. 

I have been in contact with people form EA help about this issue consistently for two weeks now. They said it is a "bug" and they said they were going to take my issue to their "game team" for further evaluation. That seemed like a joke, but I waited a week to hear back. Nothing. So I got back on live chat and no one is able/wants to fix my issue. They will get disconnected and someone else will come on, telling me the exact same thing from their script, but my issue never gets fixed. I am just getting told the same things over and over again. 

I wouldn't be as upset if I hadn't spent over $150 on all of this content. I want to be able to use it as I please. 

Additionally, the option to start a live chat with a representative has gone away on my account. Not sure what that's about. But now I cannot even speak to someone personally.

  • Hi! 

    I am missing World Adventures, University Life, Supernatural, Showtime, Late Night, and Generations.

    I am also missing the High End Loft Stuff Pack and Roaring Heights Stuff Pack.

    Could you please check your account again now and let me know if your packs are showing in your launcher available to download?

    Roaring Heights wouldn't be transferred over with an account merge, as any in-game bought or store content from The Sims 3 website isn't able to be transferred to new accounts.

  • HI! yes it worked thank you so much! 

    Are you sure you cant retrieve roaring heights for me? I bought it off of the EA launcher, not the Sims 3 website.

    Also, I bought Roaring Heights AFTER the account merge. It's just not showing up in the launcher.

  • Yes, I have. I tried to register the game on the Sims 3 website, but it said the code was already used. It is showing that is downloaded on EA as "add on content", but there is no indication in the launcher or game that the content actually downloaded.

    If your code is showing as redeemed after you've purchased it from the app, you can contact live support for a refund on this purchase. We're not able to process a refund from the forums since we can't access your account details here, but you can contact live support from the help site here to get this refund processed.
