I can uninstall sims 4 without losing Expansion Packs?

Hi!

I have all the expansion packs that are currently, but I need to uninstall The Sims 4.

If I uninstall the game, I lose everything?
I'll have to buy the expansions again? 😕mileysad: 

  • The expansions are yours, don't worry.
    This can help you with backing up the important stuff: http://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2014/09/save-games/

    And this to help you find your expansion when you are done installing:
    All on the Sims 4 will go under one picture in the 'My games' tab in Origin, try this:
    - Go to the 'my games' tab in Origin.
    - Hover over your 'The Sims 4'.
    You'll see a little screen come up with an 'i' and a 'play/download/install' button.
    - Click on the 'i', you'll get a different screen.
    - Scroll a bit down and you'll see your expansions and other stuff.

    @chloe3984c   You won't loose your saves, and sims, and builds etc that is separate from the game program files, and located in your user folder: The Sims 4. You'll find the folder in Documents>Electronic Arts. It is a good idea to back them up though:

    You still own the right to download the base game and any packs you have bought; so you can uninstall the game program files without worry. 🙂
