How to see the download status for sims4 downloaded packs?

I downloaded a pack for sims 4 and it says I own it but its not downloaded, how do I see the download status cause I downloaded it but I can’t see the download status. I was wondering if there was a way to see it from the Sims4 game page and not origin, I tried shift +F1 but it didn’t work.

    Hi! I figured it out, when I scroll over to the pack, it says “download to use” so it still needs to be downloaded, how do I download it on the sims4 game page?

  • I bought the Star Wars pack.  I am not sure what edition of Sims 4 I am running.  I bought it when it first came out...been a while.

    @zerosydi Hello!  Since it's been a couple days, I wondered if you were able to get the pack to download.  If not, perhaps you could try repairing the game through Origin.  Exit the game, if it's open.  Then, right click on the game in Origin and select Repair.

    @crickette Do you mean that Journey to Batuu hasn't downloaded?  If so, please try the repair process as I mentioned above.

  • Also, I got it to start downloading but I got a notification saying that it would give me a notification when it was done, but its been a while, is there any way to see the download progress in the game so I don’t have to go to origin and open it up, my computer is a bit slow when playing a game so, if not that’s okay.

    @spookishly I usually wait for everything to download before opening the game.   However, if you are in the game while the DL is in progress, you should be able to type shift+F1 to see the download progress.  You may have to be at the Main Menu to do this.

  • Hi! I tried to do it but nothing happened, is it a different command on mac?

    @spookishly If your packs haven't downloaded by now, there may be another issue.  I'm on PC so I don't know if it's different for Mac.  Perhaps the Mac Guru @Bluebellflora can help?
