I've tried purchasing various Sims 4 kits and expansion packs recently, only to keep getting a error at the checkout;

"Your action cannot be processed

That didn't work, let's try again. If the problem persists you may want to use a different payment method or try again later."

I've tried various payment methods, rebooted and updated to no avail.

Please advise asap

  • Hello @HannahHoots,

    Please try the following steps to clear this error up:

    • Make sure the location on your account matches your real location
    • Make sure your billing details in the EA app match the billing details for your card
    • Use a different payment method
    • Remove and re-add your payment method from your account

    If you still have issues once you've run through these steps, we'll need the live support team to investigate into this a bit further, as we don't have access to review your account details here on the forums. Live support can look into your account and see what's causing this transaction to get stuck, you can contact the team by submitting a help request on the site here

    If all those steps haven't helped, you'll want to get in contact with the live support team following the steps outlined above so they can review your account details with you a bit further and see what's causing your purchase error.
