Please someone tell me how to DLC's on/off setting in EA app

Hi, there.
Though I changed platform from Origin to EA app, I can't do DLCs off using argument "-disablepacks:".


In the EA app, we can't use this argument? I made something mistakes?
If someone knows how to do, please tell me.

    Can you try just disabling one pack to see if that works

    You did load a save game and the pack was still available in the game, right ?

    @crinrict
    Thank you for the reply.
    When I install the EA app, Origin is automatically uninstalled correctly. What I reported in #9 and #11 is what I was able to confirm in that state.
    No one else seems to be responding to this. (Maybe that was a bad title...), so maybe it is an issue from my personal PC setup, but if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I will do my best to answer. I would like to ask you, when you start the EA app, do you enter your ID each time? In Origin, I was able to launch with the ID stored, but in the EA app, the ID is not stored. Is this with the EA app properly activated?

    Adding:
    I have more things to check.
    The play time displayed in the EA app has not changed. (image below)
    I think something might be wrong.
    I do not see any effect on the game play and I can play normally. Saved data is also recorded normally as you can see in the image.

    The following is a bulleted summary of the platform installation status and matters up to this point.
    1. installed EA app (Origin was automatically uninstalled)
    2. no continuity of memory of arguments was seen, posted here
    3. uninstalled EA app once and reinstalled Origin. Terminated the matter being checked and reinstalled EA app. (I think that the date of last play day is at this time.)
    4. confirmed in EA app that arguments are retained and play can be resumed with the same argument data as is, if from EA app
    5. found out that the argument is invalid if launched from the Sims4 shortcut icon.
    6. added two points of concerns that came up afterwards

    @Pick-a-boo_doo I still have both installed so my testing might be not accurate to yours but no, I don't have to login each time. Maybe delete the EA app cache files and see if it then sticks when you log in again. https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/

    Play time is still a bit wonky in my experience.

    I tested the short-cut start and can verify that this in fact does not disable the packs. I don't know if that's worth reporting but I would suggest that if you have further issues with EA app, that you report them in the EA app forum: https://answers.ea.com/t5/EA-app/ct-p/ea-app-en
