  • I am also looking for an answer to this question.  All of my expansion packs were purchased and downloaded on Origin.  Now that it is EA, all of the packs say "Download to Use", but there is no option to re-download through EA.  They all show in EA as being previously installed ... no option to download.

  • stewebabe  Please remind me: do you own these packs in Steam or the EA App?

    Please also run a search for City Living, which your other thread's screenshot shows is missing.  Open a File Explorer window, click This PC in the left panel, and enter EP03 in the search field in the upper-right corner of the window.  The search will take some time.  When it's done, expand the window sideways so the entire path to each result is showing.  Take a screenshot and post it here.

    If that doesn't help, please run the search above for one of your missing (but listed as installed) packs.  You can find the folder names here:

      Hello, 

      All Sims 4 files (game and packs) are currently located in an Origin Games folder (see attached images).  Should these be moved to EA Games folder which is currently empty?  Will this retain game progress, etc?  Thank you

  • Disneygirl501  Please post the results of the search, not a screenshot of one folder's contents.  It's important for me to see every result because that will tell me if you have a duplicate install hiding somewhere.  And no, don't move anything yet.

    stewebabe  Glad you got it fixed.  If your content is all loading, you don't need to do anything else.
