@Jirachiking  You should be able to install your packs through your EA App game library: click Sims 4 and select Manage > Manage add-ons.  If you see Download buttons, click them.  If you see the packs listed as already installed, please run searches for two or three of your missing packs.  Open a File Explorer window, click This PC in the left panel, and enter the folder name for one of the missing packs in the search field in the upper-right corner.  This is the full list of packs:

For example, if you're looking for Seasons, you'd search for EP05 .  Wait for the search to finish, then make sure the full file path is showing under each result.  If it's not, expand the window sideways as necessary.  Take a screenshot using Windows key-shift-S and attach it to a reply here.  Then repeat for one or two more packs.

I actually got it to work after clearing the EA Launcher cache,  then uninstalling then restarting my computer and then clearing the EA Launcher cache again and then I was finally able to install everything again.  Thanks so for your help and suggestions!!
