How NOT to load "Set Up Shop" Digital Content when re-installing

I recently purchased the "Business and Hobbies" expansion pack, with also came with bonus "Set Up Shop" digital content.  My game has crashed and worked fine before the new additions. To troubleshoot going back to where the game was before the additions, I un-installed WITHOUT "Business and Hobbies". However I did not see an option for "Set Up Shop" (which showed up as "new content" after re-install).

I am trying to find a way to re-install WITHOUT the bonus "Set Up Shop" digital content, which does not show up as an option when I try to "manage installed content" when re-installing. Any help deleting this digital content so it will not re-install is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

  • biggwaltz  This isn't possible, as it's not a separate download.  As far as I know, the data isn't in a discrete bundle within the game's program files either, so you couldn't delete it manually.  You might be able to get EA customer support to remove the bonus content from your account, but there would be no way to add it back after the fact.

    Having said all that, this shouldn't have any affect on your game.  Build/Buy have no impact until you place them; they would never cause crashing if they weren't somewhere in your save.
