Packs gone... like for real

I've never done one of these, and I'm low-key at the verge of tears (jk jk ).

I had paused my game from updating and had gone offline. When I went back online, The Sims 4 didn't pop up the play button when I went offline.

So I came back online, right..

The Sims 4 wasn't there when I went looking for it. I had to reinstall it, which then led to me losing all of my packs, and now I don't know if I should quit or if I should give it five years for when I have enough money to get them back.

Like dude, I had nearly all of them from the span of two years, obviously with sales. [I'm a broke college student.] So, like...... what do I do? 

  • Hey YZOIRA​,

    It looks like this is likely due to which EA account you're using, as the one you're posting with hasn't been around for the couple years you've mentioned. There's almost certainly a different account that was used for those previous pack purchases.

    Feel free to check through the Sims thread here for further details to confirm this. You can contact support here or with the link in that thread after checking through the other details. Thanks!

  • You should be able to re-install all your packs, even after uninstalling a Sims game through 'Manage' > 'Manage Add-ons' after going onto the game through your games library.
