How to remove DLC from game



Heya, how can I remove For Rent from my game? I can't play ever since I bought it. I regret spending money on this pack, it broke my game, and I want it out of there!

There HAS to be a way to remove it, right? I mean, I wouldn't be mad if EA took it away from me and threw a cup of coffee my way. But, since that's not going to happen, I turn to the community to save my game (and sanity).

Please & thank you!

    There might be a way to uninstall a pack, depending on your EA app or whatever you use.
    You can definitely disable a pack from loading, so you can play your game without that pack in it at all.

    I didn't use Steam and normally I buy from CDKeys unless it's a kit. This time I rushed to the front of the line before looking at reviews, investigating bugs, learning anything. All because I had to have those 3 pre-order items. Smacking myself in the head rn.

    I used the link to JT's website. Thank you for posting it!

    I appreciate the help. My therapist thanks you too. LMAO

    @mightysprite and @The_Mercuria Before I bought For Rent, I did some investigating and found James Turner's info. I made sure I had an escape plan. ? That was before people started having the big problems. So far, I haven't had issues myself, but I'm sure that's because I don't play with rental builds. In the two saves I've been playing since installing the pack, my sims aren't tenants or landlords.

    I do hope the bugs get fixed soon. It's a lot of money to pay for a pack when I can't use the major gameplay features. ?

    The_Mercuria, I am so glad you posted your enquiry here. I hate the Strangerville pack and have ever since I first played it through. I've been wanting to remove it from my add ons in the Origin/EA App for so long now. šŸ™„

    Did you buy it from Steam? Steam has a return policy, Iā€™m not sure what the limits etc are but if you play via steam you might be able to get your money back and have them remove it. I dunno.
