    @avalina504  When you click Sims 3 in the EA App, then Manage > Manage add-ons, what does it say under World Adventures: Download or In-game content?  For the latter, the only fix other than clearing the EA App's cache is to uninstall and reinstall Sims 3.  If you see a Download button now, just click it, of course.

    If World Adventures isn't showing up under Manage add-ons at all, let me know.

    Uninstalling and re-installing the game worked for me thank you. Luckily, I didn't have a lot of things or time in the game so it wasn't that annoying uninstalling and re-installing. I shouldn't have to be doing this, EA should really fix their app :/.

    I have the same problem with the world adventures expansion pack. Under manage add-ons mine says in-app content. Do I also have to uninstall and re-install the sims 3 game or what. How can I fix this to play the world adventures add on in my base game ? Please help me, thank you

      @ChanedR123  Yes, uninstalling and reinstalling Sims 3 is the only reliable way to fix this issue.  Be sure to back up the Sims 3 folder in Documents > Electronic Arts before uninstalling—this contains your saves and other user data, and while it shouldn't be removed during the uninstall process, that can happen sometimes.  A backup means you won't have to worry about losing your saves.
