Command line arguments not working with EA Play version

So I bought Parenthood and Seasons in the sims 4 and I regret buying them.  I had a great work around  of adding in the command line arguments of -disablepacks:EP05,GP05  But now since the the update...

Hello @cherriesandwine1 

I'm seeing this issue also, but only when using an account that has a subscription to EA Play. 

Do you happen to have any other versions of Sims 4 active in your Origin Library?  If so, can you try adding arguments to that instead and launching the game from there?

Another workaround you can try is to create a shortcut to \Origin Games\The Sims 4\Game\Bin\TS4_x64.exe (unless you have a shortcut already), open the Properties of that shortcut, go to the Shortcut tab, and add the arguments to the end of the Target field.

In the meantime, I'll tell the team about this and have it looked into.

@SimQARobo Hi, I do have a subscription to EA play, yes. I don't have any other versions. I have just tried the workaround that you suggested and that didn't work either unfortunately.

    @cherriesandwine1 

    I heard Origin team is working on a fix for this that should be going out in a future Origin update.

    @SimQARobo I cancelled my subscription and bought a copy of the base game instead which has fixed it. Thank you so much.
