Sims 4 cats and dogs installed but not owned


I own a disc version of the sims 4 bundled with the cats and dogs expansion. When I go into the game, it tells me I don't own cats and dogs, but under manage games and apps it's installed. In game, I only have the option to purchase it. All my other expansions that I purchased digitally work fine. I have my previous saves that show me owning animals, but when I open them it tells me data is missing and when it loads the animals are gone. I tried a complete reinstall from disc but that didn't fix it. Any help is much appreciated!

    Can you access the cats and dogs items in game and all it's content? If so, I imagine it's still saying you can buy it as a digital version, as you have the disc version so in license terms, they're 2 separate games. If you can't access the in game content that's a bigger issue.

      No, in game all of the content has disappeared including pets and furniture from previous saves.

        I also found this thread on EA answers, which may help you? Also I see in another comment you mentioned your on Xbox so my apologies for that 🤣

    Hey there, can you try unplugging your console for a few minutes first to see if that helps resync the data? Are you getting the  "game data incomplete" message?

      I've tried that with no luck. I've also un-installed and reinstalled the game. I'm not getting that message - the content isn't showing up under my owned packs when I log into Sims even though my Xbox shows that I own it.
