For Rent not working after download for months!

I bought the For Rent pack in early December, and it still isn't working. For starters, you know how when you buy a new pack and start the game a "welcome to __" pops up? I never got that. It says I installed it and I even tried repairing my Sims game. I got the welcome sign about two days ago after the most recent sims update, but no other issue was fixed. Secondly, I have the new hairs and outfits and CAS items, but the symbol on top that should be on top of every pack's items isn't there (ex. sulani as a tree, city living as a skyscraper, get to work as a briefcase). And Tomarang isn't available as a world! Some of my unplayed sims apparently live there, because instead of "currently not in world" or a world's name, it shows nothing at the bottom. I have very restricted access to apartments, as they glitch a LOT, to the point it almost seems like the whole apartment is a broken mod. I've tried getting rid of all mods and scripts, repairing my game, checking for updates, buying extra storage on my computer; you name it, I've tried it. Absolutely nothing is working, and It's a pain to know I spent my money on a broken pack that hasn't been fixed in 2 months. Please help!

    Bugs aside, and ignoring your current user data, please move the Sims 4 folder to the desktop from the Documents > Electronic Arts. Launch Origin, repair your game, then launch the game. Start a new save and play for a while. DO NOT move any of the files and folders from the Sims 4 folder you moved to the desktop into the newly created Sims 4 folder.

    Are the issues you are trying to describe in your opening post still there?

    I already have sims 4 moved on my desktop, and i don’t use Origin; I have the EA app instead. I tried repairing it and nothing worked. I apologize, I messed up earlier. I’m actually on Windows not Mac

    Ok. Same troubleshooting still applies. Please try the new Sims 4 folder as described in my previous post.

    Hi, I just finished trying out your solution. It worked. thank you so much! Although; all my mods are gone. Can I re-add them to the new folder?

    Only if they are fully compatible with the current patch level of the game. See the stickied threads on this forum for further help 🙂
