Please describe the patch or change you made. i got a new computer and had to reinstall everything i owned from the sims.

hi everyone ! i'm new to this site so i apologize if i'm doing this wrong. i recently reinstalled the sims 4 and all the packs i own onto my computer. earlier in the year i bought the get famous expansion through origin and it worked fine. however i just got a new computer and i reinstalled everything but for some reason nothing from get famous expansion is in the game. there isn't any of the build/buy features, there's no create a sim features, and the world isn't in tthe game either. however it says on both the ea app and the sims 4 home page that i own it. someone please help because i have tried everything and i don't know what to do.

  • @aliciafoxqueen  Please clear the EA App's cache:

    https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/

    and repair the game: open your game library, hover over the Sims 4 icon, click the three dots, and select Repair.

    If that doesn't help, go into the game's program files, which are located here by default in an EA App install:

    Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 4

    Look for an EP06 folder (Get Famous was the sixth expansion released).  If it's there, delete it, clear the EA App's cache again, and redownload the pack.  If it's not there, please let me know.  And to be clear, this isn't about the EP06 folder inside Delta but rather the folder inside the main Sims 4 folder.
