Re: Why am I getting game data incomplete on PS5?

Hey there @ghostwthemost 

This error typically means your packs are not fully installed to your console. Please try the following:

  • Restore the licenses on your console 
  • Go to your Game Library 
  • Scroll to Your Collection
  • Select The Sims 4
  • Scroll down to Add-Ons and locate your DLC here
  • Select the DLC in this list and select Install
  • When the download finishes, let your new content install and restart The Sims

  • Followed these instructions but when I get to the add-ons the content already shows as being installed, and I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling it ☹️

    Are you game sharing, or were these packs purchased directly from your main PS account? 

  • They were purchased directly, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling again and for some reason it worked the second time? Thank you for your help!

    I'm having similar troubles but with the city living expansion pack, worked like normal when I bought it but now I've gotten incomplete data as well. I've deleted and reinstalled 3 different times now and it still says download to use pack when I have it downloaded

    I’m having the same issue with City Living. I got it free on PlayStation a few months ago. Today I’m getting the message and noticing the world isn’t on available.

    I'm looking for an answer on this too. I downloaded island living for free today on ps5 and all of a sudden I boot the game up, get that message and the city living is un-installed now even though it says it's installed. I have no idea how to even uninstall and reinstall it.

    This Pack was available for free for PlayStation Premium Members until yesterday. For this reason it is no longer in your Game.

    The City Living Pack was available free for PlayStation Members, until yesterday.
    Pay attention to the date for how long you can play Island Living for free. After the time has expired, you no longer have this Pack in your Game.

    Where do i even see a date? I couldn't find one anywhere. 

    Also, does that mean that if I actually purchase the packs, I'll get them back?

    Someone who purchased these packs had the same issue though, so how would you explain that? They un-installed and reinstalled twice and that fixed it. I tried the same and that did not fix it for city living.

    Im guessing that means we have to buy it, but I don't understand completely because someone who purchased it had the same issue. They got it fixed after reinstalling but that still doesn't explain how they had the same issue as us. Maybe it was just a nationwide glitch for those who had it free and those who purchased it.

    Hi Theitalianway16 

    Okay, try this; 
    Shut down the console (Not sleep mode!) Disconnect the PlayStation from the Power and Internet. Wait five minutes. Then reconnect the console to the power and Internet. Start the PlayStation and the game. 
    I hope this helps. 
    If you bought the pack.
