Sims 3 ingame download dashboard help

Yesterday I downloaded the sims 3 gift of speech baby monitor, opened my game and went to the download dashboard where I clicked 'install now' and waited...and waited....and waited. About two hours later I closed the game and restarted my computer before leaving it to download all night, only to show no result in the morning.

The item shows up in my bought history and everything so I know I have it. I just don't know why it's taking forever to download.

    Did you try downloading it through the purchase history to your launcher ?

    Also ingame stuff is/was pretty bugged so maybe that's just the issue there.

    Does other stuff install INGAME ?

    Make sure your security software is not blocking the connection.

    Do you have other store content and if so, does that download fine ?

    I downloaded Riverview which is fine and runs well in my game, maybe because I selected the download it from the start-up launcher.

    With the baby monitor, it only shows in my purchased history and the in game download dashboard.

    Which is weird because Riverview shows up in both. Maybe that's just how that content works or something.

    I'm not sure how to tell if any of my computer security is preventing the download...

    (This is the screen I see)

    Yes, but maybe I'm doing something wrong because when I do that it never brings up the launcher.

    Maybe my launcher is bugged or something (I'll work that out) because even the in game "Open Launcher" doesn't work so it must be my launcher.

    Thanks for all your help though 🙂
