@Madamelee Please do a clean uninstall and reinstall of Origin. First, clear Origin's cache:

Then use Revo Uninstaller (the free version is fine, either regular or portable) to remove all traces of Origin, except for the Origin Games folder. Here's how:
- Quit Origin, then right-click on the Task Bar and open the Task Manager. Scroll through looking for Origin entries. If you find any, click on them and End Task.
- Download Revo Uninstaller from here (again, the free versions are fine).
- Install Revo, open it, and uninstall Origin. When it's finished, Revo will ask you which cleaning method you want to use. Select "Moderate" and then Browse.
- If Revo finds any remaining registry entries, select all, delete, and click Next.
- Revo will display "Remaining Data and Folders. Select all of them except for the "Origin Games" folder. (This is where Sims 4 and other Origin games are installed.) Delete the rest.
- Restart your computer.
Next, download and install Origin—the regular version, not the beta. Here's the direct download link:
http://download.dm.origin.com/origin/live/OriginSetup.exe
Be sure to run both the installer and Origin itself as an admin: right-click on each and select "Run as Administrator." If it doesn't work, let me know, and please also post another dxdiag, so anyone else with ideas can see the current state of your computer.
I notice, I should have about 30 Sims 4 packs but only 16 downloaded when I re-installed the Origin Yes they're legal key codes Like what happened to City Living, and Get Together and Outdoor Retreat and Dine Out, or stuck packs like "Luxury one, or Toddler or kids' Pack, or what about the "specials" like "Life of the Party" and Digital soundtracks which my SISTER paid for since she gifted me the Premium Editon of Sims 4 in 2014 ? I do remember when I tried to repair the game *last* time after re-downloading Origin previously (but that was months after I have had Origin-causing Computer to freeze problem) -that it wouldn't repair Dine Out for some reason. and all Origin is giving me is "add to the qeue"

@Madamelee Try restarting your computer and downloading one pack at a time. If that doesn't help, clear Origin's cache and restart your computer again, then try downloading one pack at a time.
