Easy way to fill in the blanks of my packs?

Hello All, I am recently decided to install the game on my new PC and start playing again.  I have also gotten an upscale of my income and I wanted to get up to date with all the packs, kits etc.  My question is, is there an easy way/screen to go to where I can see which packs I already own and then simply bundle/purchase the packs i do not own...to fill in the gaps?

I noticed this when I tried to make a simulated purchase of a pack I know I already own (Get To Work pack) and it was willing to take me all the way to the purchase button without any attempt to alert me "You already own this pack".  It would be especially helpful if the EA store would simply stamp a pack as "Owned" to make it easier.  I was surprised at how difficult the purchasing process is.

Am I missing something?  Do I really need to create an Excel spreadsheet and figure this out on my own?  Take my money!

Signed,

  • tkm4life  There's a Bundle & Save option in the EA App, which should only allow you to add packs you don't already own.  This is separate from premade bundles; the idea is you choose what you want from a list of available but not-yet-owned DLC.  Please see the first post of this thread for more information:

    The main drawback of this is you can only use the feature if there are at least one EP, GP, and SP available for bundling that you don't yet own.  So it's not going to help you buy a pile of kits at once.

    Separately, if you load Sims 4 to the Main Menu, you should see Store across the top of the screen.  Click that, then Expansion Packs, and all the packs you don't own will be listed together above all the EPs you already own.  The same is true for Game Packs, Stuff Packs, and Kits.

    Ah, now I see thank you!  it's much easier doing this through the app.  I downloaded the app, installed it, and then closed because I assumed the website was easier🙃 Bu now as I scroll through the categories I can see "in library" on the packs I own.
