Sims 3 Supernatural isn't playable/not showing in Launcher

Hello everyone, 

I am trying to solve this issue now since 1 and a half year. Last year not really actively because I did not care that much but here I am again, since I wanna play the (imo) best Sims game again.

So my problem is what some other people already have been struggling with: The expansion is not showing up in the launcher. Also, I can't press "play" on the expansion in the EA App. Every other expansion is showing a play button. EA App says the game is fully installed.

I have tried many things before. Reinstalling the App, the game, clearing cache, clearing registry entries, clearing user data (in documents). Nothing is working, also the EA Support Chat said multiple times they have no clue and I should write here now instead. I am completely sad and lost and out of ideas. Every other expansion is working and showing up in the launcher. 

I hope someone can help me, 

Thank you in advance <3

I think the exact same issue has happened here and has been resolved: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/Sims-3-expansions-missing-from-launcher/td-p/12754230

    Hey there @Zaveelia 

    Had you originally purchased Supernatural directly through the EA app/Origin?

    Hey, no, I did buy the original CD copy from the release back then.

    If I remember correctly (I am not entirely sure about this) I activated a few codes as a child at the sims3 website. So I needed to merge accounts. I can't remember if Supernatural was one of those packs. But every single other expansion is working.

    Apologies for the delay, could you check your account again now and let me know if you're still not able to access Supernatural?
