    @BriannaPotato23    Hello!  The short answer is yes.  I switched to the app at the end of 2022.  When I signed into my EA account through the app, all my packs were available.  When I launched the game, all my saves were there as well.  Some users have had varying experiences with their packs but I believe EA has made a lot of improvements since then. 

    That being said, if you're at all worried about losing your saves, settings, mods,etc.  it is a good idea to regularly create a backup of your The Sims 4 folder.  It's also probably a good idea to keep the backup on a thumb drive or external drive, just in case your laptop ever crashes.  If you have access to cloud storage like Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive, that would work also.
