Has this been resolved yet for Xbox One?
My daughter has Sims 4 / Pets & Dogs bundle on disc. She wants to buy My First Pet stuff pack. But the pack is only available as a bundle with Pets & Dogs. I will not let her purchase Pets & Dogs / My First Pet bundle, because this is a ridiculous waste of money as she already owns the more expensive Pets & Dogs expansion pack.
I know and understand the excuse that the Micorsoft/Xbox store (and Sony Playstations) does not register the ownership of disc downloaded content, because it can only register online downloads from their store.
Simple solution, offer the My First Pet stuff pack as an individual download, not only as a bundle. Just as you do for the PC version.
I look forward to reading EA's response.

EA Staff (Retired)Thanks, @PoptartJuniper, for passing this on.
I checked and have this info:
Microsoft (Xbox) have changed their stores and no longer offer My First Pet Stuff or Cats & Dogs as a standalone buying option. They are only available as a bundle.
On the PlayStation Store, though, it looks like you can buy My First Pet Stuff separately.
Unfortunately, there are no updates yet about the disk versions. ☹️ But I'll follow up on this.
I get that this is disappointing for you @SimGRExbx1 so I have passed on your feedback.

Thankyou for getting back to me. Seems a strange business choice by Microsoft/Xbox, considering that Sony/Playstation stores and the PC have My First Pet available as a stand alone product. Unless Microsoft are banking on naive kids wasting their money on something they already own - a real possibility if they game without parent supervision. It would be that kind of business model that gives gaming a bad image, especially as the news media & politicians have been looking into how many games aimed at the younger generation now push additional pay-for content as their central profit stream!
