Date Night Exclusive Installation Issues

Last night I bought a digital copy of Date Night Exclusive. And after about an hour or two of trying to get Origin to give me the option to download the game it finally worked. The download was 2 hours long, however, so soon after it started I simply went to bed.

I got home just now, and according to Origin the game has already been "Installed" which I found odd because it didn't take me through the process of asking for my language, or where I wanted the game to be installed, nor did it ask for a serial key. I basically had zero control over the installation.

When I finally launched this game I noticed something: High End Loft & Late Night were not installed! The game is supposed to come with both of them, I even received the serial keys that I needed to install them.

Origin is only giving me the option to download The Sims 3 Base Game, but not High End Loft or Late Night. Here is a screenshot of my purchase history, launcer, and origin:

I have tried going into my purchase history and hitting download again, but this is what happens:

It literally just downloads a 40MB file called "Date Night Exclusive" and when I install it it doesn't really do anything.

  • well the date night is clothing  those you will find in if your already in a game send your sim to a dresser-option-plan outfit   if your starting a new game and creating new sims then in the edit town create a household you can use the new outfits there by the looks of it it installed twice so in your the electronics arts/sims3/downloads folder check the date night set if there are 2 sets and one of them has ⚽ then it installed twice delete the ⚽ to delete the second set properely in the launcher find the item in the installed content tab then show file  once you find the seconderay set uninstall it then go to the downloads tab in the launcher tick it-show file-delete

    edit: nevermind, I misread the last line ☹️

     

    second edit:
    Whoa, I feel really stupid now. I thought that the "redeem code" was to redeem all three games and that it would automatically add all downloads to Origin. I'm used to buying games where a single code works for everything, but turns out that I had to register each game individually.

    I'm sorry for wasting your time, and thank you so much for being so helpful.
