Installation Issues with newly bought Sims 4 Packs

[SmilingKimothy]

I bought Parenthood, Tiny Living, and Eco lifestyle a day or two ago and all three of the packs have been experiencing issues. At first, items from the packs would not load. For example, I would be able to use all the items from Tiny Living and Eco lifestyle but not the items from parenthood or I could use all the items from Parenthood and Eco lifestyle but not from Tiny Living. That issue has resolved but now has evolved into my packs not downloading. Every time I open the Sims 4 I have to redownload all my packs to be able to access any the worlds or items from them. I have moved The Sims 4 Packs folder to my application folder where Origin is located, but the issue persists. I have tried everything from repairing the Sims 4 to resetting Origin. I am using my 2017 MacBook Air on 10.15.2 MacOs Catalina.

Thank you! I moved my Sims 4 game to my application folder where my sims 4 packs folder is located and everything seems to be working great! If anything changes I will comment again, but for the moment being everything is fine.

The Sims 4 Packs folder needs to be where the Sims 4 app is, not the Origin app. Move it to the same location as the game.
