    @elisecd  When you buy content from Steam, you need to install it and the base game from Steam.  The way it works is, you install the base game and your Steam-owned packs from Steam, then open the EA App (or Origin) and install the packs you own from there.  Then you launch the game through Steam, and all your content should load.
