@virtualdream Your issue is a bit different from folks I've helped, but, I'd be happy to provide you with a file that has helped others load their saves when they have the DLC installed but the game doesn't recognize it.

Can you just open Origin and access the DAI game page in your my game library tab then look at the Extra content tab below the play button in line with Friends who play, achievements and virtual currency??

Reason I ask, is this is where Origin displays all the expansions and add-ons for the game that are downloaded and being used by Origin. I know Steam is where you bought the game, but my understanding is that while linked, it still basically just tells origin to open and start XXX game when you click play in Steam. So if Origin for some reason doesn't download the DLCs or doesn't know they are DLd then they will never work. I almost always start any Origin game through Origin, or whatever other launcher they originally used even if I did purchase them from Steam.

@mcsupersport I already checked Extra content tab. Under every DLC, it says "You have this content available through Steam. Download it on Steam to add it to your game." with a green check-mark next to them.

I also tried starting the game through Origin. The same problem.
I also tried closing Steam and starting the game through Origin. It triggered Steam to open up and then the game started. The same problem.

Thanks for trying to help, though. You did more than most.

BTW, If Origin thinks the DLCs are not downloaded, how can I make it think that it is downloaded?

You may try clearing the Origin Cache files and see if this resets the DLC availability for you.

I haven't ever seen Origin say it is available through steam before....but maybe that is because I kinda interrupted the linking the systems when last I bought a game on Steam for Origin, I usually just buy through Origin.............

I guess the other option would be to uninstall the DLCs(if you haven't already tried) and re-install them....wouldn't bet on it working, but something.......

  @mcsupersport I followed the steps on your link. Unfortunately, it didn't do the trick either.
  
  FYI "Available through Steam" thing looks like this: https://imgur.com/7yvuEo0
  
  I already tried uninstalling all the DLCs and re-installing them. Didn't work. I actually tried it more than once.
