Sep 02, 2014 Origin. Correct me if I'm wrong or if I have bad info but I've been told that the Jedi Knight Mac games only activate the Mac versions on Steam. Edit:: I'm a Windows user and I just bought Star Wars: Jedi Knight - Jedi Academy and Star Wars: Jedi Knight II - Jedi Outcast and they both registered on.
Free Mac Games
- Look under the TS3 base game icon in Origin. A recent update moved the EPs/SPs 'under' (inside of) that. Perhaps right-clicking or hitting the 'i' button will reveal them?

That was so helpful! Thanks so much! I started freaking out because I couldn't find any of my expansion packs! Your help was very appreciated. - edited November 20151

Our new site is at http://nraas.net - @igazor Mine shows up on origin and then sometimes shows up when choosing expansion packs in the launcher, but when i open the game, all my generations objects are replaced and none of the generations interactions show up... This is the only ep i bought off of origin instead of using a disc.
You are saying that the Generations EP shows up on the new Launcher's Expansions and Stuff tab (sometimes), but is it showing up as selected (checked off)? If an expansion is not checked off at startup, then it won't load and the Launcher is not doing a good job of remembering selections in between play sessions for many players.@igazor Mine shows up on origin and then sometimes shows up when choosing expansion packs in the launcher, but when i open the game, all my generations objects are replaced and none of the generations interactions show up...

As for Origin installed expansions not showing up in the Launcher at all, that also seems to be commonly reported. All you can do is keep quitting at that point (maybe rebooting the computer) and trying again until they do show up.

Our new site is at http://nraas.net- @igazor when it appears on the launcher, i get a notification saying 'new sims 3 pack detected' and then i go into the ep section and it is unchecked but then i check it and it seems like it will work, but then it doesn't.
The only things I can think of to suggest are:@igazor when it appears on the launcher, i get a notification saying 'new sims 3 pack detected' and then i go into the ep section and it is unchecked but then i check it and it seems like it will work, but then it doesn't.
- Origin's Repair Game function
- Uninstalling the one EP and reinstalling it

Can you help me, @igazor ?Look under the TS3 base game icon in Origin. A recent update moved the EPs/SPs 'under' (inside of) that. Perhaps right-clicking or hitting the 'i' button will reveal them?
I can try. What seems to be the trouble?

Our new site is at http://nraas.net- edited March 2017@vladdy1sims - Hi there. It's not really a very good idea to display an email address in forums that face the public like this. For various reasons, it's also against the rules here.
The information about the packs appearing under the 'i' was valid at the time we gave it and remained so until sometime last year when they gave Origin yet another makeover. It sounds to me like your best bet, if you haven't already tried this, is to uninstall and reinstall Origin (only Origin, not your games) and see if the reinstall causes it to behave better. It should pick up on your already installed games and packs by itself.
By the way, this is the community forums. Your audience here is other players for the most part, not EA, and there isn't much we can do about a net full of complaints. You might really have wanted the EA Answers HQ board but we do try to help here anyway.

Our new site is at http://nraas.net - I just bought a new laptop and I have the Sims 3 one stuff pack and all of the EPs. But when I sign onto origin, it's telling me that I don't own Seasons, Island Paradise, and Late Night, along with my High-End Loft stuff pack. It's telling me that I need to buy these packs again, ad this upsets me, seeing as I've spent $100+ dollars making sure that I have all of the Expansions and I really don't believe that I should have to pay for my expansions for a second time. I know that I am on the same account and everything, seeing as I have both of my laptops side-by-side. Help!
There should be no reason to have to purchase the same games twice, especially if they are registered to you. What you may want to do is contact EA/Origin Customer Support to see why your Origin account is not reflecting the packs you own. There may be something with your account that needs adjusting or resetting on their end.I just bought a new laptop and I have the Sims 3 one stuff pack and all of the EPs.

Our new site is at http://nraas.net- I'm having the same problem. Please speak English -- what the heck does 'Look under the TS3 base game icon in Origin. A recent update moved the EPs/SPs 'under' (inside of) that. Perhaps right-clicking or hitting the 'i' button will reveal them' mean?? What does 'EPs/SPs' even stand for???

The same problem as whom? This thread goes back to 2015 and had all different players with different issues on it. Which game are you playing and what exactly is the problem you are facing?I'm having the same problem. Please speak English -- what the heck does 'Look under the TS3 base game icon in Origin. A recent update moved the EPs/SPs 'under' (inside of) that. Perhaps right-clicking or hitting the 'i' button will reveal them' mean?? What does 'EPs/SPs' even stand for???
An EP is an Expansion Pack (Ambitions, Late Nite, Pets, Seasons, etc.). There were 11 of them for The Sims 3.
An SP is a Stuff Pack. There were 9 of those.
The 'i button' stuff was part of what Origin looked like at the time, years ago, when this thread started and the previous folks posting here were having trouble finding where their game info went. Origin keeps changing, that advice would be outdated now anyway. I don't use Origin anymore having switched over to Steam, a different gaming platform, for The Sims 3, so I can't really provide more current advice for it if that's where the problem is.
Sorry you no like my English ( ), but that's the best explanation I can give for the discussion that took place above long ago in case that's any help.

Our new site is at http://nraas.net - igazor-- thanks for your explanation re: 'I'm having the same problem. Please speak English -- what the heck does 'Look under the TS3 base game icon in Origin. A recent update moved the EPs/SPs 'under' (inside of) that. Perhaps right-clicking or hitting the 'i' button will reveal them' mean?? What does 'EPs/SPs' even stand for???' MY problem is that no matter where I look, I can't find the toddlers expansion pack for Sims$. It's not in My Games, or Hidden Games or Extras or anything like that.... The Origin client says an expansion pack is ready for download, but nothing happens. Do I manually download the pack somehow?
