Sims 3 Expansion Pack Not Showing in Origin

★★★ Novice

So I have not played sims 3 in a while now, but i have purchased many expansion packs digitally over the years through origin. Basically, my sister wants to be able to play sims on her macbook pro, but when I downloaded origin the only game showing up was the base sims 3 game. I checked on my order history and all the expansions i purchased are still there, but they are not showing up in my origin library. It would be good to be able to get access to these games because a lot of money was spent on them.

 

Thanks,

Mine is doing this too. I just spend £59 on two expansion packs and waited hours for them to install and now they are greyed out. 
Origin knows I own them but how do i reinstall them? every time i click on download it says 2/2 complete, but they are still greyed out and i can't play. 
I have tried uninstalling the base game in reinstalling (losing all my game-play in the process) and it is still an issue. I have spoken to two Origin Reps online now and neither have helped. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!

Hey RadicalKitKat,, so I was having the same problem too. Turns out if you hover over the expansion pack and right click it will give you the option to repair the game, do that and then wait for it to repair. It will prompt you to restart your system and you should be all ready to go! Youre Welcome!

If anybody else had this problem what you do is hover over the Base Game and click on the information button. Scroll down and click on your expansion pack and download it! If you haven't purchased it there will be a plus sign to purchase. Hope this helped! (This was done on my Macbook pro.)
