I UNINSTALLED SIMS 4 AND NOW I CANT REINSTALL IT

★★★ Novice

I uninstalled sims 4 on my mac because it wouldnt update and i thought if i uninstalled it and then reinstalled it that it would be fixed, but now it won't let me reinstall it at all and it is saying I dont have any games yet, i've looked up what to do but nothing has worked. I got the sims 4 when it was free for a week but i purchased island living and EAHelp on twitter are not answering me at all. please help ASAP as it's been like this for days now and its really annoying

Click on your profile in the bottom left corner of Origin, then Application Settings. Make sure you're in the Application tab and scroll down to Client Update.

when you say uninstall, do you mean you uninstalled it through the origin app, or that you moved your sims app or folder to trash?

 

are you logged into the correct origin account?

 

are your filters in your game library hiding it for some reason?

Are you logged in using the same Origin account you received the free base game through and bought Island Living in? Disable all the filters too.

I cant, whenever i open origin it just says the servers are temporarily unavailable and that it can't recieve my list of games and that i should turn it off and try again. No matter how many times i turn it off it just keeps saying it
