How to reinstall The Sims 4 when purchased through Origin?

[Tatianana7]

I need to uninstall my The Sims 4 game due to PCs repair service and I purchased many expansions and packs through Origin.

How am I supposed to download it afterwards, when I decide to install my game back with ALL my expansions and packs (which I definitelly want to do).

Will it stay in there on my Origin account? Or will I have to purchse it again?

Which oh god please no, its not like throwing few cents in the air I worked hard for purchasing my game.... PLEASE?

You can reinstall them all through Origin. For you gameplay I suggest making a back up:

All your expansions, game packs and stuff packs go under one picture in Origin. Follow these steps:
- Go to 'Game Library' in Origin
- Right click 'The Sims 4' and choose 'Game Details
A overlay moves in
- Have a look under the 'Extra Content' tab
There should all your Game Pack, Stuff packs and expansions packs show up. You can reinstall those through there.

I have a different problem. Whenever I get to that screenshot (the extra content pop-up), I go all the way down and click Next (or whatever the button at the bottom is....). Then, Origin crashes!! Every time, without fail. I click the button and Origin suddenly stops responding and I have to log back in and everything....

Hi! You might get better help if you post on the Origin forum instead..

But I think that you should manually uninstall origin and then reinstall it..!
