    @Lentexd 

    Thanks for following up!

    It should be back to normal now. If anyone is still running into the same issue when trying to make a purchase please let me know.

    I'm having the same issue, cannot purchase packs in game, online or through the app

  • I have found uninstalling and restarting my computer and then reinstalling the EA app to purchase the games that way works. Now some games packs and add-ins I had trouble and I had to click around a bit. But good luck and I hope this helps!

  • It isn't letting me still.  when I try to click to buy something it just doesnt do anything and when i click on the view button it says "this pack is unavailable for purchase" on all of them

    @EA_Kent I can't see that the problem is fixed? I can't purchase any add-ons for the sims 4. Whenever I click purchase, this message pops up:
    ''We had some trouble processing your request.. Try again a little later''.
    Whatever I do, nothing seems to be working. Not quite what I was expecting with the new app, but it would be nice to be able to actually buy more DLC. But with this issue, and other issues i've read about, i am, quite frankly, a bit nervous to purhcase at all. Is it even possible to go back to origin, or are we stuck with the Ea app from now on?
  • Same by me. I tried to purchase something from the spring offers but it didn't work through the EA App, because I recieved the same message with "We had some trouble processing......". So I contacted the EA Help for answer. The guy that helped me, said I should tried to buy it on the website. But when I tried to buy it, the screen was just getting darker. So he said I should try it on my phone. But there the screen was getting white. So yeah, I have the same problem like the rest of the people here. 

    I hope it get fixed as soon as possible.

    And sorry for my bad english, but english isn't my mother tongue

  • Hello I am having trouble purchasing the cats and dogs gamepass . I’m not sure why it’s not going through. All of my information is correct but when I try to purchase it, it says there is an extended your monthly game in expansion spent limit and I haven’t spent anything on this game yet, so I’m really confused here’s a picture  for  reference. 

  • Hello,

    I have been trying to purchase a expansion pack with a credit card,

    and when I'm on the last step it trys to say that I ran on out of spend,

    when I'm using my card. EA, do better, this is really annoying, I just want to get a pack. ☹️

  • i bought a bundle..made a payment and received the bundle..and then i wanna purchase another expansion pack, which during the checkout it says that there was an error and cant be pruchased..this happened today 25/5/2023

  • I can’t purchase any ea game packs at all. It won’t allow me even though the details are correct and I have enough money on my account.

  • I have been trying to buy multiple expansion and game packs. Each time it says it cannot process my card and to try a different one, I have tried all my cards and everyone of them has charges for 1$ multiple times but no games are being able to be purchased.. 

    what is happening

    @alexandriabb This is happening to me as well. I wanted to buy an expansion pack before the sale ended and every card said my details were incorrect (even though EA charged the cards $1 each). Even a card I used a week ago to buy an expansion (saved to my account and made no changes) didn't work with the same error. I opened a case with EA Help and they did nothing and just referred me to look here. So now I've missed out on the sale and no one seems willing to acknowledge this issue.

    Hello, I just started experiencing this bug today. I was hoping to purchase some kits to aid me in decorating and cluttering, but I can't seem to buy anything from in-game or the EA App got Windows.

  • Hi there! I am experiencing the same issue as you. Were you able to resolve it at all?
