You won't loose game progress, game saves or your custom content. Before you uninstall/reinstall, just back up your Sims 4 folder to the desktop and all your Sims 4 files should be fine.

I usually cut my Sims 4 folder and paste it to the desktop and then cut/paste it back to the Electronic Arts folder afterwards.
Right-click on your Sims 4 folder, select Cut and Paste it to the desktop.
Then uninstall Origin. - Manually uninstall the Origin client

You don't need to backup the whole Sims 4 folder, but it's the easiest way to back your Sims 4 files up that I've found. Everything gets saved, including game saves, mods and user options, and you won't loose anything. 🙂
I need some help too:c
I have sims 3 as well do I need to paste it to my desktop as well? I don't want to lose the saves there either
@o0MorbidGrim0o If you're uninstalling Sims 4 only, you don't need to do anything to protect your Sims 3 content; it won't get removed when you uninstall Sims 4. But if you want to be extra careful, you can back up the Sims 3 game folder in Documents\Electronic Arts. Like its TS4 counterpart, this folder holds your saves, saved sims, builds, mods and cc, etc. and can be removed and put back at any time.
Ok but what about the expansion packs, would I end up losing those? I ask because I have a lot of them adding up to well over $100.
@starwarrior1645 Your expansion packs are also owned by your account, not your computer. So they'll be available when you reinstall, provided you sign into the same EA account you're using now.
