Sims 4 Expansion Packs

Hi,

Now that Sims 4 is free I don't feel the need to have an EA play subscription any longer. However, I have bought expansion packs through the Origin application on my PC. If I remove my EA play subscription, will I still have my expansion packs?

@MD0G12 Hello! If you decide to end your EA play subscription, you would only lose the benefits such as the early access / trials and member rewards like the 10% discount. You will not lose any of the DLC packs that you've purchased. If you have Play Pro, you would no longer have access to Dine Out or Kids Room Stuff unless you buy them. You would also retain all of your save files. So after you get the free TS4 download, just launch it from your game library and keep playing same as always. Happy Simming!

@chelsugar Were you able to download the Origin app from the link? I haven't tried it myself.

@JonaO703OH yes! I just did it. Ill see if it says the same thing in Origin...*update* It looks all good over on Origin. Hmmm interesting. It didn't say DLC missing on the ea app on certain pages, it just said "add on" which is normal. But when i click on the "See the sale" button, thats where it occurs. Wierd.

@chelsugar Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I imagine other users are having similar issues. It might be best to use Origin as long as you can. Hopefully the EA app will be fixed before they eliminate Origin completely. Fingers crossed!

No there is not one . I already have some packs. It's sad because I paid ea play because they were offering the pack but I can't reed it. Anyways thank you all for the help.

@Pandaluh_13 Editing my post to suggest opening your game to check if you see GTW items in your game without the need to manually download it. Since you have an EA Play account, perhaps GTW was added automatically and you didn't realize it? This shows some GTW items in build mode with the briefcase icon...
I'm sorry that you're still having trouble with this. I went to the EA Play site and they do not list GTW as part of the experience. Perhaps they just haven't updated it yet.
It's quite possible that there is an issue they need to address. Again, I encourage you to post your question on the EA Play forum.

Also note: I believe EA Play is Windows only. Are you in Windows or Mac?

@PipMenace That link is from 2 years ago. I redeemed the deluxe edition that comes with ea play without a problem a month ago. I didn't have to install the sims because it was a gift so I already had the game when I subscribed ea play. I can play test the games that work on Mac so ea play works on Mac. Some games are just not compatible with Mac but the ones that are work just fine. It's just the GTW that doesn't work. (:
