Disable Packs Command Not Working

My disable packs command on the EA app isn't working. Every time I load the game up (no matter how I start it) the packs are still there. I'm not sure what to do, because I need to disable them to pl...

@puzzlezaddict There's no space, I double checked. Sadly I've done everything and they're still showing up. I'm not sure why they're not disabling. They're deleted from the folder, as well.

@myeungo  Are you saying that the packs are loading in-game even after you've deleted their folders?  And the packs haven't reinstalled?

If so, then either you deleted the wrong folders or you have a second Sims 4 install somewhere on your computer.  In that case, try searching for the folder names.  Open a File Explorer window, click This PC in the left panel, and enter a folder name, for example EP05 for Seasons.  When the scan is finished, expand the window sideways until you can see the entire path to each folder, and use Windows key-shift-S to capture that portion of the screen.

Please do this for two or three packs, and post the results for each one.  You should absolutely have at least two entries for each pack, even with the main folders deleted.

    Yeah, they haven't been redownloaded and they show up even after I've deleted the folders. I tried one that I did delete to see what would show up (GP01), here's the results.

      @myeungo  Where did you delete the folders from?  I see an intact GP01 folder here, in the game's program files:

      C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4

      I don't see any evidence of a secondary install either—there would at least be a GP01 folder inside ...\The Sims 4\Delta.  (That folder is irrelevant for this purpose; I'm just saying it would be there.)

      Separately, if you use the -w command line argument, by itself, does it work?  It should force the game to open in windowed mode.

        I deleted it the way you told me to do previously. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4. Since GP01 is one of the packs I wanted to disable, I deleted it.

        -w does work.
