Store Content uninstalling

You know, I'm getting really tired of this. Ever since the last Sims 3 forum and store maintenance/update half my store content, including every additional world I bought on the store, keeps uninstalling. I install it from the launcher, and it gets uninstalled when I start the game up from the launcher. I install it from in-game, and it gets uninstalled when I shut the game down. Sometimes it does so as I'm loading up a save. Yesterday it booted me from a game set in Dragon Valley because Dragon Valley got uninstalled WHILE I WAS PLAYING A FREAKING GAME SET THERE!

    And an update: Even when it does decide not to uninstall store content, installing the content bundle such as Celtic Lands only installs the "Celtic Lands" bundle logo, and not any of the content that that bundle contains.

    There used to be a wonderful thread created by Ciane on how to install your store content so that it does not uninstall. For some reason, it got deleted when the forum updated. Since it was an incredible amount of work to put in all those links, the thread may not be recreated. Here is a link to the thread in the wayback machine that someone posted in a different thread. I've bookmarked it now:

    Here is the link to my video that went with that thread walking you through the first part of installing the store so that it doesn't uninstall:

    It looks like the Origin update a few minutes ago fixed the store. But I'll have to try signing in to see if that's true. I'm seeing the celtic lands items showing as installed though, so I'm hopfull.
