Re: (Mac) Download Button Not Working for Sims 4 packs

I needed to re-download the sims 4 and that goes with all of the packs as well but I only could download sims 4 but not the packs that I bought. I would tap the download button and nothing happened. I hope that anyone could know why this is happening. Thank you.

(I also use a Mac but this never happened before)

    Same thing with me. Brand new laptop, brand new origin.

    I ran Origin Reset but I can't download any of my expansion packs. The button just sits there after I tap it. 

  • Having the same problem - can't download any packs and the download button does nothing. I called tech support and none of the suggestions they gave helped.

    Replying to this threat (I've replied to two similar threads) just to say that I have had the same issue despite running through the whole entire troubleshooting list, short of resetting my entire Mac to factory settings. And no, it's not a hardware issue.

    It's most decidedly an Origin issue.

    Sooo I was having the same problems then it worked

    this is what I did 

    I kept going to applications setting then going to client update. I turned off automatic games update and automatically update origin off. then signed out and quit origin the signed back in and re did it. I did this about 5 times. Then I went there again and only turned off automatically update Origin and participate in origin technical . So only automatic games update was on

    then I quit origin then reopened it.

    then that update origin screen pops up.

    you click update origin. it takes a second then re log in too it and then then every pack you have will start to download.

    you have to make sure origin is updated not the game.

    I know what I wrote is kinda choppy but I hope this helps!
