Creepy and Cute not working with the dlc bought on steam and origin?

I just bought the c&c parts pack via steam and I used the keys for it as well as the base game on my origin account. I've got the online working, but I can't get c&c to work. I verified the files on ...

@xemitheidiot To confirm are you running the game off Origin or Steam? Also, are you using any Mods with Spore?

    @xemitheidiot @FNCollier78 

    I would recommend trying going through the steps below to see if the DLC 'unlock' or if this issue continues. 

    • Check for Windows and GPU updates 
    • Repair - Origin | Verify - Steam 
    • Clear Origin Cache  
    • Allowing Origin/Steam and Apex through your anti-virus or firewall  
    • Run Origin/Steam and Spore as an administrator (by right-clicking desktop icons and selecting 'run as admin")  
    • Try Windows Compatibility settings  
    • Clean Boot

      @EA_Illium 

      Thanks, that worked for me.

      I checked for Windows update and had a BIOS update but I don't think that had much to do with it. Next, I did the Repair in Origin and I did notice the C & C pack reload. I opened Spore and the locks were off my creations. Thanks again.
