    @CrescentChi  If you click on Sims 4 in Origin and open the Stuff Packs list, what does the orange button below High-End Loft Stuff say?  If it says Download, just click it; if it says Installed or Play, it should be loading.

    The easiest way to tell if the pack content is loading in-game is to enter Buy mode and click the Sort button on the right of the UI.  (It kind of looks like a snowflake.)  If HELS is one of the options for sorting, it's loading; if it's not listed, the content isn't in-game.

When I was going to the Origin site, it had said that the expansion pack had been downloaded.

I forget exactly what I did, but I guess when I purchased the expansion pack, I got two "versions" for it (something along the ling of monitor specs I think). Guess I had downloaded the wrong one...? Seems to be working fine now (stuff is in-game and the loading screen shows you the expansion pack name).

Thank you for helping out! I wasn't able to play or do anything this week (busy week), but now I get to enjoy playing! Thank you! ^^
