    I just had the same issue, restarted the EA app and was able to download one of them, then same issue again, had to restart EA app AGAIN, then could get second one to download. 

    However now my game is freezing and crashing every 5-10mins.

    oh no! i might not try again then, thanks for the heads up. I will eave it for a while and see what happens ♥

  • I am having the same issue.  I purchased the Business Chic Kit, and although it says its in my library, I can't download it.  Whenever I try to download, I get disconnected or I get the following error message: We've cancelled this download because you don't own this game.  I've cleared the cache, started the app multiple times, signed in/signed out multiple times.

    ok update- as per another similar question posed on this forum, I went into Settings -> Downloads and enabled "Update Games Automatically" and "Enable Background Downloads".  These were previously toggled off for me.  Then I cleared the cache for the EA App, launched the app again, and went back into Sims 4 "Manage Add-ons" and was finally able to successfully download the Business Chic kit.  @GenX_Simmer maybe this will work for you too.
