@WykedAngel  Which packs are installed but not loading?  Do you, like the original poster, have a Steam install with some packs purchased through the EA App?  If not, do you own everything through Steam or through the EA App?

I have the base game on steam and the expansion packs and game pack on EA app since it no longer lets you use origin. It shows i own the packs but none of them are installed with steam. I had to deleted the base game from steam and just use the bas game back on EA for them to work.
