  • Hey all,

    Please check that The Sims 4 is fully updated following these steps:

    • Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
    • Select System > Settings > System > Updates & downloads.

    If this doesn't help, please go ahead and uninstall and reinstall For Rent:

    To uninstall

    • Press the Xbox button to open the guide, then select My games & apps > See all > Games.
    • Highlight The Sims, press the Menu button select Uninstall, and then follow the prompts.

    To reinstall

    • Highlight The Sims on the dashboard
    • Press the Menu button on the controller
    • Select "Manage Games and Add-ons" 
    • You should see an option here to "Install" For Rent

    If you still have issues after trying these steps, please let us know!

  • I preordered on Xbox. It says I own the pack, and it seems to be installed but not downloaded? When I go to world select I can see the new world but can’t select it - it says it will be available once it has finished downloading. I’ve restarted the game and console multiple times but nothing’s changed.

  • I’m having the same issues right now with the For Rent pack. It’s showing I bought it & it’s downloaded but I have to “Restart To Use”. But nothing has happened 

  • I preordered the pack For Rent on my Xbox 2 days ago. It went through and installed. The pack is supposed to be available now where I live but it says restart to install. I already have restarted the game and my Xbox, uninstalled and reinstalled the pack. It still says I need to restart to play and says pack content is unavailable. I want to play with it so bad but I can’t😭 if someone could help I’d appreciate it cause I don’t know what to do

  • I bought sims 4 for rent early. However upon installing on my Xbox console it still doesn’t work. And sims 4 for rent and the add on content is listed as outdoor playtime. Please help. I’ve factory reset my console 9 times with the help of Xbox but still can’t play my content.
