"Cottage Living" Pre-Order Items not appearing in game

Hello, all.  I just pre-ordered "Cottage Living" and, according to my bank, the transaction was completed successfully.  However, my pre-order items are not showing in the game as promised.  In addition, I noticed the Origin app doesn't recognize I've pre-ordered and is still offering me the opportunity to pre-order for myself.  Has anyone else had this issue?  Am I missing something here?

    @punkpallas , I am assuming the bonus items would be available once the game is released. (Funny how people can assume different things about the same bit of information😅  I can see how you came to that conclusion though.)   The part that is special about them is that if you don't buy the game before September 2, then you won't get those items at all.  So, by preordering them or buying the game by Septermber 2, you are assured of getting those items 🥳, whereas those who wait to get the pack later (like for Christmas) will not receive those items.

  • I know that, but does that include the pre-order bonus items?  I thought the pre-order bonus items were added to your game instantly.

    I thought so too, based on the wording. But if you go into Origin and read the fine print it says that the bonus digital items will be unlocked when the pack is installed. I cannot seem to change the language on my page to english to link it for you, but look in Origin.

    I also presume the game will show up in library when game is released I never gave a thought to release date just inputting code all excited lol

  • I preordered Cottage Living and none of the preorder items are appearing after the base game update. Do I need to preorder the game twice??
