You need to disable automatic downloads in Origin - https://bluebellflora.com/the-sims-4-origin-how-to-disable-automatic-updates-and-startup-on-a-mac/

Once disabled you can choose which packs to download in the download manager in Origin.

To clarify, you’re now installing on a Windows PC and your game is somehow loading your previous saves from when you played on your Mac?

  No, i wanted to reinstall the game on the same mac, because the game was getting too heavy. The previous time i reinstalled it (without the previous gameplay), it was better.

    Oh I see, thanks (the C: threw me off 🙂 ) we can check the location of your saves which seem to be loading.
    
    Launch the game and click on load game then hover over one of the households to see the file path:
    
    Can you copy and paste that file path here please.
