Come April and this still hasn't been answered.
@Exolptic The question was answered immediately above your post. That's the correct answer, and there's nothing else to add.
they didn't ask "can I?" they asked "HOW?" and that's what I want to know, too. one of my games started updating (and can't because it requires an appallingly unreasonable amount of disk space, so I'm just trying to uninstall so I can reinstall on my SSD) and now there's no option to uninstall. I've tried force quitting EA and reopening it but I'm still stuck in updating limbo. I can't uninstall or even repair the game. will the EA app ever not give me a headache when i try to use it?
@kat211123 The original poster's "how" referred to how can they make sure they don't lose their DLC. The answer was that they don't need to worry about losing their content because it won't happen.
For your own issue, try using Revo Uninstaller (the free version is fine) to remove Sims 4, and the EA App while you're at it. Before starting, rename the Sims 4 folder in Documents > Electronic Arts to something that doesn't include "Sims 4" so Revo doesn't flag it for deletion.
