Certain DLC not showing as owned after update (28/05/24)

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.107.112.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get to Work Get Together City Living Cats & Dogs Seasons Get Famous Island Living Discover University Eco Lifestyle Snowy Escape Cottage Living High School Years Growing Together Horse Ranch For Rent Outdoor Retreat Spa Day Dine Out Vampires Parenthood Jungle Adventure StrangerVille Realm of Magic Star Wars: Journey to Batuu Dream Home Decorator My Wedding Stories Werewolves Luxury Party Stuff Perfect Patio Stuff Cool Kitchen Stuff Spooky Stuff Movie Hangout Stuff Romantic Garden Stuff Kids Room Stuff Backyard Stuff Vintage Glamour Stuff Bowling Night Stuff Fitness Stuff Toddler Stuff Laundry Day Stuff My First Pet Stuff Moschino Stuff Tiny Living Stuff Nifty Knitting Stuff Paranormal Stuff Home Chef Hustle Stuff Crystal Creations Stuff Country Kitchen Kit Bust the Dust Kit Courtyard Oasis Kit Industrial Loft Kit Fashion Street Kit Incheon Arrivals Kit Blooming Rooms Kit Carnaval Streetwear Kit Moonlight Chic Kit Little Campers Kit Desert Luxe Kit Pastel Pop Kit Everyday Clutter Kit Bathroom Clutter Kit Greenhouse Haven Kit Basement Treasures Kit Book Nook Kit Modern Luxe Kit Castle Estate Kit Goth Galore Kit Urban Homage Kit Holiday Celebration Pack
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Not sure if it is easily re-creatable on your end, unless experiencing the same bug. Occurs on loading of start menu.
What happens when the bug occurs? Certain packs that I own are showing as un-owned or are saying that I need to download The Sims 4 and the latest update to install the pack.
What do you expect to see? That the game recognises all the packs I own and allows me to load my save files correctly with the right content (no missing pack content due to the game thinking I don't own that pack).
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

I have recently updated The Sims 4 with the latest update (28/05/24) and updated the EA app, when it told me to. All owned packs are currently installed. CC/Mods are currently disabled, the same issue occurs when mods are enabled and disabled. I closed and opened The Sims 4 and EA app several times to see if it would help, but no change.

    Yes. They are showing as installed under the 'manage add ons' section when you click on the sims 4 in the EA app.

    I cleared the cache following the instructions, but no change. I am trying to contact EA through the link you sent me, but I can't work out how to get through to live support, it keeps suggesting I look through Sims 4 common help questions (none are about my situation). Is there a specific part of the website I need to go to?

    I found the info page on troubleshooting my issue on EA Help. In the end, had to uninstall and reinstall the EA app, but it seems to be working now. Just thought I would let you know.
