Game installed twice on PS5?

The game worked fine until I bought a pack on the Playstation website - when I clicked install, it downloaded Sims 4 AGAIN. So I had two Sims 4 games that look exactly the same. I deleted the previous version and the new one worked fine, the pack was there and all.

The issue is that I bought another pack yesterday in PS website store and it had to download the whole game all over again. Now I’m left with two perfectly functional Sims 4 games but both packs are inside a different version. I’m really not sure how it’s even possible to install the exact same game twice and I don’t know what to do now since I have different packs purchased inside different game versions. Anyone else experienced this?

    Okay, if both versions look the same, I'd recommend reaching out to PlayStation support so they can take a more in-depth look at the entitlements on your account and see why you've got 2 versions showing here. We wouldn't have access to look into your PlayStation entitlements or the content you've got on your PSN account to see what these 2 versions are, but PlayStation can look into this a bit further with you.

    Hi there @rejcberi,

    Could you attach a screenshot to your post please of the two different versions of the base game that you're seeing in your game library?

    If you select both tiles of The Sims 4 from the main menu of your console, and go to "..." are you seeing an option to Select Version? Is one version showing as the EA Play Edition?

    Yes, I have the “Select version” option. They both seem to be just standard editions; when I click “...” it offers me the EA Play edition (I don’t have EA Play therefore I’m unable to get it).
