How do I get the EA app from automatically installing packs? - SOLVED -

I uninstalled everything involving Sims 4. After that, I installed the base game and did stop the queue from installing all the different packs that I own. There are a few packs that I have purchased in the past but I really do not like them at all. After spending nearly 4 hours installing the base game, I am informed that the rest of the packs (all of them) keep installing. I keep telling it I do not want it, and I cancel, only for it to continue with the installation. How do I stop this?

    On James Turner's website you can disable certain packs. There's directions for how to use it on the EA app but I've only ever used it with Origin so I don't know if it works. I'd bet on it though he's very good at what he does.

    Specifically uninstalling I don't know but I will try to figure out and get back to you.

    edit: https://simscommunity.info/2014/12/24/sims-4-tutorial-uninstall-pack/ this link should help. Though it specifically says Origin and not the EA app I think it should work either way. If you go into the EA app and click The Sims 4-->Manage-->View Properties-->Browse, you can find a list of all the packs you have and delete the ones you don't want. Please back up your saves just in case because this isn't recommended. It's just the only way I've found.

  • Thank you very much for both of your replies. The one from James Turner works exactly for what I needed. :)
