    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 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.
