Do I have to back up my game packs before reinstalling sims 4

[BelindaD]

I’m going to reinstall my Sims 4 game and I’m not sure whether I have to back up my packs or will they just be there when I reinstall my game? I only have two expansion packs at the moment, or maybe do I just have to reinstall the packs again? 

Also when I delete the game to reinstall it will the sims 4 folder under electronic arts disappear?

Hi @BelindaD

you don't need to backup your packs. They are in your origin account and you can just re-download them.

The user folder should not be deleted but it's always a good idea to backup that before a reinstall to be on the safe side.
