Re: Most of my worlds are missing. How do I reinstall them?????

@lambchop307  Which game are you playing?  It sounds like Sims but could be 3 or 4.  Which worlds are missing?  And does your computer run Windows or macOS?

    @lambchop307  Try repairing the game in Origin: open your game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, and select Repair.  If that doesn't help, clear Origin's cache and repair again.

    https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/

    That assumes your computer runs Windows.  If you have a Mac, please use this guide to repairing your packs, which is a separate step.

    And in the future, please let me know, with a new post and a tag, if you add more information to your posts, since I won't get a notification from an edit.

    I so appreciate your trying to help me. I am so frustrated. I went to the website, after about 30 tries, I logged in and tried to do the repair as you instructed and as I have done before to repair. When I right click on the game, the settings come up as before so I clicked on settings and there is no link to repair. Then I went to my Sims four packs and I can’t even get them to come up. I can’t find anybody at EA to help. Do you have any other ideas? Again I thank you so much. 😊

    @lambchop307  What options do you see when you right-click on the game tile?  Please post a screenshot.

    Please also let me know whether your computer runs Windows or macOS, whether you bought the game through Origin or Steam, and whether you've ever had an EA Play subscription.
