Origin: Expansion ready for Install...

PC laptop, no mods right now, Origin, been playing a long time but haven't seen this.  I know we'll all be swapping over to the EA app soon.  I've been super busy and unable to play for a while now but wanted to be sure everything was up to date.  That said, in Origin, it says I have an Expansion ready for install...and nothing happens, and I've no idea what expansion it is.  Has anyone had this issue? I have closed out, I have reloaded, I'm not sure what to try next.

  • @CathieCMR  Have you looked through the lists of expansion, game, and stuff packs to see whether any pack has a Download button?  If you don't have automatic game updates enabled in Origin, you might need to start the download yourself.

    If you do click the Download button and nothing happens, or you can't find anything to download, you can try enabling auto updates, which is under Application Settings > Application > Client update.  You may need to start the game and/or clear Origin's cache afterwards.

    @puzzlezaddict That was it (I had to re-enable auto updates). It was the free desert kit. I disabled updates initially so I could remove mods once upon a time, before updating. Thanks!
