Island Living missing from PlayStation

Hello guys,

Never posted here before, but basically I brought 2 expansion packs on sims 4, one I brought last month and one I brought 8 months ago. I currently have a PS5 and ever since I downloaded the games on this console, one of the packs hasn't worked. I gave up trying to fix it. 

Now a second pack I was using, which I only brought last month has the same issue. The neighbourhood shows as locked and I dont have any of the content, but when I click it, it says I already own the pack. I've logged out and back in again, uninstalled and reinstalled the game, started a new save, restored the licenses, checked for updates nothing has worked. When I go into owned packs, I can no longer see the one I brought just a month ago and I can't use it! I've attached some photos to hopefully help explain what I mean, but if anyone else has anything I can try please help :( 

 

  • 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

  • Hi I was looking for someone to help me out. I have 2 expansion packs that just stopped working for no reason? It says they are installed. I have tried restoring the license but it still isn’t working. When I go onto the psn store it says for me to re-buy the island living but I have already bought it and it shows as installed. But I don’t have the world or anything on my sims account when I load in. Can anyone help?

    I’ve having a similar issue with packs I own not showing up, but the ‘manage game content’ option isn’t coming up for me

    I did as you instructed and the packs were not there, only the ones I already have installed.

    For your selected game, you have to go down into the game overview and hover over playstation store. It should show the game's add-ons and have a section that says 'your add-ons.' When you press it, it'll bring you to the packs that you own -just thought I could help

    I had this exact same problem with these packs. I realised it was actually because they were free on ps + for a while. It’s not free anymore, it’s full price. You have to buy it from ps store even if in the game store says you own it.

    abcc252ObPLghg​  I've had issues with DLC not showing properly on my PS5 and PS4, so I'm sorry you're having trouble with it.  If you've restored the license, then I suggest a full reinstall.  First, I suggest doing a power cycle to clear all the cache files.  Exit any games and use the menus to power down your system.  Wait for the light to stop flashing, then unplug the power source for at least a minute.  Connect the power source again and uninstall the game.  Your saves will not be affected since they are stored seperately from the game files.  After that, go to the Library and install TS4.  At this point, you will get the option to select / deselect the DLC you own.  I'm hoping that you will see Island Living and City Living in this list and they should install properly.  Please come back and let us know if you still encounter a problem with your owned DLC.

    When i click download all an error message CE-109367-6 shows, saying "something went wrong". I also purchased these when on sale before the latest update with playstation plus premium. Maybe because I do not have premium I cannot download them? I'm not sure. The fact it is still unavailable months later is so frustrating.

    MacAttacks619​ Unfortunately if you purchased from PlayStation, you’ll have to apply to PlayStation/Sony for the refund.

    Did you try the power cycle & reinstall Jona suggested?

    MacAttacks619​  Hi!  I'm pretty sure the DLC should be available for you since they appear in Downloads.  You may just need to restore your license.  Go into your library and then go to the Sims 4 game.  Press the three line menu / options button, then select Restore License.  Once that's finished, try downloading the DLC again.

    To clarify, anything you purchase is yours to keep, regardless of your Playstation subscription status.  The only thing that can be affected by that are any games / DLC that are included with the subscription.  I'm fairly confident, those would not be available in Downloads without the subscription.  At any rate, I do not see any TS4 packs available with PS+ currently.
