Unable to download item the sims 3 store despite having paid for it previously

I recently got a new computer, and I went to redownload the things I had previously bought from the sims 3 store and I noticed that it said I didn't own the head start play pen despite it showing up in my purchase history.

    I tried downloading it from its store page initially but it only gives me the option to buy it again. this is the only item that i’m having this problem with.

  • Vinncents_Coffin​  So if you try to download from your purchase history, you get the error about not owning the item?  Does this happen both if you click Download just below the image of the playpen, and if you check the box to the left of that Download button and then click Download near the top of the page?  I just want to make sure that neither is working.

    I also own the playpen but not the venue it comes with, so I can test it on my computers too.

    I tried downloading it from the purchase history and the sims 3 launcher opened up but it had a pop up saying that I don't own the item I'm trying to download using both methods.

    Hey there Vinncents_Coffin​ 

    It sounds like the purchase didn't fully process for this playpen- this isn't something we can verify here on the forums as we aren't able to access your account or purchase details, but live support can take a look and see what's happened. 

    Please reach out to live support from the help site here so they can take a look- I'd also recommend attaching this forum conversation when you reach out so the team has further info to reference.
