Re: Island Living missing from PlayStation

I’m playing the game on PlayStation 5 and I’ve run into a problem with the Island Living expansion pack. I had it installed and everything was working fine until last night. But today, when I launched the game, the pack seems to be uninstalled.

It shows the message: “You already own this pack, download to use it”, but there’s no option to actually download or reinstall it. I’ve checked the PlayStation Store and my library, and it still shows that I own the pack — but I can’t access it in the game.

I’ve already tried restarting both the game and the console, but the issue persists. Has anyone experienced something similar on PS5? Any ideas on how to fix this?Thanks in advance for any help!

    im not on ps5, on ps4, but ive had the same problem just today, except that ive bought two packs with ps plus which was island living and city living. The city living one wouldn’t download, but now i logged in and it said if i save my game it will all delete. Since its happening for other im assuming/hoping its just a bug with the pack but idk 💔💔

    I'm having a similar problem, except Island Living isn't only not installed it's not owned. I had it through PlayStation Plus (it was a monthly free game) and the Plus subscription is still active, but I can't just reinstall it. I have to pay for it now. I do t understand why it's gone when the Plus subscription is active.

    I’m having the exact same problem, I saw that it was discontinued, but since we bought it.. does that mean we don’t get the money back? Cause that sounds like EA fr

    Hi all,

    Please verify if you fully own Island Living, or if you've been accessing this pack from PS Plus. It looks like this pack was removed from the PS Plus catalog, you'd need to fully purchase the pack to continue playing.

    If you have purchased this pack, please check your transaction history to verify that you're seeing the pack there, then try restoring your licenses

    I've lost a whole build because of this. What is the point in offering any Sims 4 DLCs with a subscription for PS Plus if it's going to be taken away without warning? EA & Playstation are both failing on this. I've spent a fair amount of time & money on the Sims, but going through this for the second time now (City Living was the first - and I even paid for that afterwards because I thought I had done something to lose it) makes me not even want to play anymore.

    I’ve checked my transactions and it now says the total is $0.00. I’m still unable to access the pack nor am I able to purchase it again. Any help?

    If it's listed there as free, it sounds like you were only accessing the pack while it was available on PS Plus. It's since been removed, so you'd need to fully purchase it to keep playing.
