So recently I've been noticing something is happening with my game and store content seems to be disappearing (uninstalling) and most of the time I don't notice but sometimes when I try to go into buy mode I notice some things I know should be there is no longer there. I went through the downloads dashboard and found out that nearly 90% of my store content needs to be reinstalled and I have no idea why. Can anyone explain why this keeps happening? I don't want to keep
Wasting my time if I can't get the store content to stay installed.

I've waited, if someone will give you more precise information, but as I do not see answer, I'll search to help you at least with those 2 links:

(here I've learned, how to manage *.ebc files and reinstall store +/- correctly, because I have had similar problems since 2012.);

(this is most recent store-reinstall ciane's guide).
I don't know, how works PC with 1.69 patch (I'm one from lucky 1.67 people, who haven't installed it), but yours issue might be caused with manually uninstalling store-items, overlapping of store content, patching the game with store content inside the game, etc.
I'm not tech whizz, but I'm searching only to help you, because those solutions had helped me (on lower patches levels) with similar issue.
I wish you to solve soon.;)
Sorry for editing my comments frequently, in most cases I'm doing this due language issues (english isn't my native language, but I'm using english, because most used by people, with who I want to communicate).
Whenever you want to install something, you move out all but one of your .ebc files that will have enough room for what you are installing. You temporarily renumber that file to end in zero (0) and install your new item(s). Then, you renumber it to end with the number it had before and add back in the rest of the .ebc files you moved out.
This ensures that everything you install at one time will get installed in the same .ebc file. And it ensures that your .ebc files aren't too large that the store content gets lost.
Good luck!
