missing dlc packs with new launcher (sims 4)

recently reinstalled Origin to play sims 4 for fun 

sims 4 updates just fine, i go on there, all my mods are functioning but all of my DLC packs? missing 

i don't know how to navigate the new app and the account is a shared one between me and a friend we have been using it together for years all she did recently was change the email for the account and that is it. the version of sims 4 that my friend bought is the digital deluxe

it says i am missing 20+ packs, but when i go onto my original save file i can clearly see that i had those packs prior otherwise yknow how would have i had even made the save in the first place if i didn't have any of those packs? 

i bought the packs aaages ago on G2A and i downloaded them through the old EA/Origin desktop and used them for 2+ years just fine, along comes this new app launcher and suddenly it just takes away my packs i spent money on..

it says im missing; 

get to work

get together

cats & dogs

island living 

get famous 

discover university 

eco lifestyle

outdoor retreat

spa day 

realm of magic

strangerville

luxury party stuff

perfect patio stuff

cool kitchen stuff

vampires 

spooky stuff

holiday celebration kit (which was free on the old launcher but i don't see it now, not that i ever used it-)

movie hangout stuff

backyard stuff

desert luxe kit

in game it says all i need to do is simply restart the game and my packs will be back, i've done this four times and still nothing.

i spent well over £50+ on all of these packs, christmas and birthday money just getting them for me and my friend to use and now they're just gone and i can't find them again anywhere and all ea says is for me to buy them again. i really do not understand how a new launcher could just delete packs i had been using for years on the old launcher. 

i'm very frustrated because i like to play sims now and then, but its more frustration feeling like all my money has gone down the drain as my content is just gone. 

i tried to reinstall the launcher + the game, did nothing, same issue. i launched the game through the .exe as admin, still the issue is there. 

i don't know if this is a bug they're working on fixing or if suddenly it's not okay for the packs to be bought anywhere but on the app either-way it feels very slimy of ea to do. bought on the app or not that's still money completely gone and wasted.
