James Turner has provided a handy web page to help disable Sims 4 packs.

The verdict; it does in fact work and I didn't have any ill effects using this method.  The hair, makeup, clothes and build mode items were simply removed.  I didn't try this with a Get to Work illness active so I don't know the game will behave if that is the case in your game.  I did get a game launch notice that I had content being installed but it was a false flag; the content I had disabled was not being installed.

Curious question, why would someone want to disable packs in Sims 4?  You bought them, why would you now want them disabled?

When I stopped playing Sims 4 there were already so many packs adding so much shit my game was getting to the point of ridiculousness.  Disabling a few brought a little sanity back.  Also, if Sims 4 pans out to be like Sims3 there will be so many packs the game will become unplayable if all of them are installed.
