Re: I can uninstall sims 4 without losing Expansion Packs?

The expansions are yours, don't worry.
This can help you with backing up the important stuff: http://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2014/09/save-games/

And this to help you find your expansion when you are done installing:
All on the Sims 4 will go under one picture in the 'My games' tab in Origin, try this:
- Go to the 'my games' tab in Origin.
- Hover over your 'The Sims 4'.
You'll see a little screen come up with an 'i' and a 'play/download/install' button.
- Click on the 'i', you'll get a different screen.
- Scroll a bit down and you'll see your expansions and other stuff.

    I have an origin account with Sims 4 including many of the expansion packs. I have to reset my mac therefore uninstalling everything sims 4 from my laptop. I'm very worried however I will not be able to reinstall sims onto my laptop after I uninstall  it. I have my saves backed up, but its more the actual games and expansion packs I'm worried about having to buy again once its deleted from my laptop.

    Thank you in advance if you can lend advise on the issue.

    If you click on the game and then scroll down you see a tab that says ‘extra content’ all your game packs are there.
