    @localdipstick  There's no way to repair one pack, but you can certainly delete and reinstall it.  The folder for Discover University is EP08 (it was the eighth expansion released), and it will be inside [install location]\The Sims 4, for example this is the default location for an EA App install:

    C:\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 4

    If you delete the EP08 folder directly inside "The Sims 4," the pack will show as not installed and you can download a fresh copy.

    There's also an EP08 folder inside ...The Sims 4\Delta, and this folder holds patch data, not the data for the pack itself.  You can delete this folder too if you want; to restore it, repair the game again, which will download a fresh copy of any missing file or folder.

    Thanks for the reply! I'm having some trouble finding program files. I know where to find the sims in Documents but I think that's not what you're talking about. Is there a way you would recommend to find the folder? Or to find the install location?

    Whoops, disregard that last message, I found the program files. That did the trick, thank you!
