Some buttons greyed out with no text
Since the patch that brought Scenarios our main menu has been missing buttons. There are probably other missing buttons or text in game too but we've spent so much time troubleshooting a few other is...

@BitzyBanana Thanks for the screenshot, and I'm sorry the approach didn't work out. The Desktop App is definitely still a huge headache at this point, but I think repairing has to be added once it moves out of beta and into full release. That might not be for a while yet though.
For what it's worth, the recent patch's actual size was more like 330 MB. Origin often reports a much larger number for a patch, and it's possible the Desktop App does the same. Even so, it's clear the patch didn't install properly for you, and I'm sorry I don't have anything else to offer.
That makes more sense then that it didn't take very long. You've helped us a lot confirming that we can buy the base game for Origin and start playing it through there. We'd nearly given up on trying to find for sure whether that'd work since we read so many different answers on that question.
We picked up the base game fairly cheap with an expansion bundled with it so we have it in Origin now, and like you said all the packs we have popped up in Origin too without us having to buy them again. In fact the Origin app detected our Sims4 install too so we didn't have to re-download anything, then it automatically verified the files, must've found problems, repaired them, and now our menu options are displaying fine and we can see the scenarios. So thank you very much for letting us know those packs would transfer over once we had the base game purchased in Origin.
@BitzyBanana I'm glad it worked out, just a little irritated that the desktop app didn't cooperate. Still, if you're satisfied, that's what matters.
