PS4 Sims Add-on randomly disappearing

Hi, I wanted to ask a question. I play the Sims on the PS4, it’s just the base game, I didn’t buy anything. I want to say it was towards the beginning of this year, I logged into the game and it gave me the Romantic Garden Stuff pack for free? And I had no issues with it up until the beginning of this month when it randomly just started taking the pack away. And it says on the main menu that I own the pack, but it’s giving the message that it “Requires The Sims 4 & all game updates”, but my game is fully updated to its latest version, and I have the pack installed (I’ve checked), and exiting the application and re-entering it does absolutely nothing. The only way I’ve been getting to give me the stuff back is fully deleting the game and redownloading the whole thing (PS4 doesn’t allow you to delete individual installed add-ons). I have done this 3 times now over the span of one week, and it seems like every time I close the application and come back it gets taken. Is there anything that can fix this, or am I stuck redownloading the game constantly?

    Hi! Just wanted to add that I’ve been having the same issue and this didn’t work for me. Any other tips?

    @Kitt_kay 

    Which pack specifically are you having issues with? Is that pack showing as unowned in your Game Library?

    Cottage Living, Werewolves, Romantic Garden, and  Paranormal. They’re shown as owned, but say ‘Download to Use’. They’re fully installed though.

    Thanks, please try a full uninstall and reinstall of the base game and your DLC, let me know if you can access your content then.

    Sadly, that didn’t work.🫤I tried to restore my licenses as well, but that didn’t help either.

    Yes!

    EDIT: Almost a week later, and my add ons are still missing. I’ve tried asking for help on Reddit, but no one has found a proper solution. Is there any way to contact EA directly? I feel like that may be the only way to fix my game/Give me my money back.
