Are you getting a specific error code when this happens?
No, there's no error code except when the game fails to start initially, when it just says the game took too long to load. I just started it up to try and see the error code but this time it started up right away, and then there was a screen where I had to agree to the new terms, which was something new. There was no more green notification telling me about new content, and Sims Delivery said I was all caught up, but I couldn't find the new SDX content anywhere. So I don't know.

Thanks for these details, let's give the following a try:
- Turn off your console by pressing the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds, until it shuts down completely.
- Unplug the console's power cable. Wait 10 seconds.
- Important Be sure to wait at least 10 seconds. This step resets the power supply.
- Plug the console power cable back in.
- Press the Xbox button on your console to turn it on.
Check that your game is fully updated:

If you're still not seeing the SDX content, let me know!
Okay, thanks for this info. I guess I'll just not have this SDX content since it takes over 2 hours to uninstall/reinstall the game, and then I have four saved games, two of which have extensive lots/households, hardly any of which are on the Gallery. It would just take too long for this full-time working person. Kind of a bummer but it is what it is, I guess. Wish there was a button in Sims Delivery to see what's available and to re-download from there. I appreciate the information in case I decide to do it at a later date.
