    @jamby3  Please try deleting and reinstalling only the Seasons expansion.  Open the game's program files, located here by default:

    C:\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 4

    and delete the EP05 folder.  (Seasons was the fifth expansion released.)  Then open the Delta folder and delete the EP05 folder there too.  (This folder contains patch data, not the actual pack.)  Open the EA App and repair the game (again), then download Seasons again.

    While you're deleting folders, the EA App needs to be closed and the EABackgroundService shut down; look for it in the Task Manager and kill it if you find it.
