My sims 4 expansion packs have stopped working!

★★★ Newbie

Ever since early July the expansion packs I’ve bought have stopped doing the stuff they usually do! For example the events/holidays in my calendar (seasons pack) have stopped happening, they’ll show up in the calendar but when the day finally comes around they disappear. Also the restaurants have disappeared mysteriously (I had to put them back in) and my sims friends have stopped asking them out to eat. I’ve tried repairing the game a couple times and it’s still not working! Any help would be great lol

Go to Documents/ElectronicArts - inside will be The Sims4 folder
Step 1. Rename The Sims4 folder to "The Sims4 old"
Step 2. Fix the game in Origin
Origin/Library - right-click on TS4 - option "Repair game"
You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.
Step 3. Turn on the game - a new game folder will be created and you will have two - one old, one new
Step 4. Check if you still have this problem in the newly created game folder.
If the problem disappeared
Step 5. Delete in the new game folder following folders:
"saves" and Tray.
Step 6. Go to "The Sims 4 old" folder and copy - your "saves " folder.
Step. 7, Paste this folder in a newly created game folder.
Step 8. Do the same with Tray folder and TrayDeleteItems file
Step 9. Check if there are newly updated version mods you are using.
Then copy and paste your mods and CC from old mods folder to the new one. First copy the scripts mods every time checking if the game is working properly. If you have a lot of CC try 50/50 method ( divide your CC into smaller batches for example 50 pieces in one subfolder and check these subfolders one by one)
Step. 10. If all is OK - delete The Sims4 old folder.

Your saves and library will be not changed or damaged
