help with dlc on ea side.

hello i was wondering if someone could help me with knowledge of how dlcs work in the ea app. so i have sims 4 through steam. but i have to launch the game through steam and ea. i have some dlc bought through steam and some dlc bought through the ea app. now either this year or last there was a free dlc (get to work) that you could download through having ea play or xbox ultimate. now my question is this here. if I lose my Xbox ultimate do I lose the dlc i downloaded through it? I had Xbox ultimate but went to a lower level of it. when I updated my sims and loaded my save it said my get to work dlc was missing. so do i lose dlc if it was free while I had a subscription and can i get it back for free? or do I have to buy it for myself since i don't have Xbox ultimate with ea play anymore? but if i download it while its free is it mine forever or no? 

  • Budman129c​  Anything you access through a subscription (XBox Ultimate, EA Play) disappears when your subscription ends.  This works the same way with DLC as it does with entire games.  So yes, that's why Get to Work isn't available, and yes, you'd need to buy the pack if you want to use it again.  Now is a good time, with all Sims 4 DLC on sale, and of course a one-time purchase tends to be cheaper than maintaining a subscription.
