I recommend making the purchase directly through the Steam game client or the Steam website instead of The Sims in-game store. You can find Island Living in the Steam store here.
Is this a new thing? last expansion I could download right through the game zero problems that's why I'm hesitant to make any purchases because I'm worried there is an underlying issue. my game just updated btw if that might be causing it
i've downloaded 8 different pack in total right through the game which is why I find this change so alarming. if this is something new with the update I wish I could've had a heads up
Community ManagerWhat you're seeing is called the Origin In-Game Overlay. You can disable this in the Origin client so it won't continue to pop up by going to Origin-> Application Settings-> Origin In-Game Tab and uncheck that box.
despite disabling it and restarting sims 4 it's still there which is only discouraging my to make any purchases even more I don't understand why this is happening out of nowhere and I'm probably overreacting but this is the first expansion i'm purchasing with my own money and not my parents and I want everything to go smoothly. It's just very strange that it's suddenly blocking me from making purchases ingame
edit: I checked it in the games settings and now it's gone nut I get this

well I guess I have too since it won't give me any other option, I hope to be able to download ingame again in the future since it seem quicker and simpler that way
I'll update if there's any more problems
