missing expansion and game pack

To start I had installed both correctly.  However, Dining out did not show up in my plots as a restaurant. So, I only went to uninstall Dining out,  but I made a mistake by uninstalling both Business and Hobbies and Dining out. I should not have uninstalled Business and Hobbies.

This created a problem with one of my saves.  I made another mistake and tried to recover that save.  It will not let me recover it again.

When I reinstalled both of them, neither save can find them and build mode in lighted up like I have new items; I do not have any new items. So, it has affected my build mode. The EA app says they are installed and part of the in game recognizes them and doesn't connect correctly to full build mode.  

My laptop is a separate game and I have access to all features. I very much want my desktop to show me it also,  I am not computer smart, by I know many other players might be able to reset using code. Please help me. I tried to compare the file from both computers but my desktop has further issues with copies of copies 1,2 and original updates or whatever those  lines of things after sims 4 folders that start this game with.

    This solved a large part of the missing items.  However, I still have an issue with it showing highlighted build items: without items showing stars or items that are actually new.

  • PSUButterfly​  Please open Marketplace > My Collection and see whether your packs are listed as deactivated there.  If so, you can reenable them with the Pack Selection button.  If trying to use that button causes other issues, delete UserSetting.ini, in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4; this file holds the data for all disabled packs.

    If that doesn't help, please see this guide to missing DLC:
