Re: DLC download error

More than just high school years, this issue is also affecting random DLC Kits / packs, specifically Modern Men's wear as an example. I have purchased, in the last 2 weeks, the entire Sims 4 Library except the "Growing together cause I wont pay $40, it had gone off sale the day before. Regardless, I otherwise own every single other Possible Kit / pack / DLC of any type. I was playing and attempted to interact with the new Gallery update, I had just uploaded my house and the game had a crash. I attempted to use the "Clear Cache" and multiple repair attempts all failed on the High School and Modern Men's I can't remember the others. These attempts leave a message with a Download error, stating try again. After sever failed repair attempts I Uninstalled, went to the folders in Documents and the game install location. The uninstall had removed even the Folder Sims4, so nothing there, Deleted the Documents Sims 4 directory. Okay, so that would mean a Fresh Install... I get to Updates re slow... Repairs are painful, but when during a full fresh install for the SECOND attempt... I cried. Both failed on the modern men's, the second attempt I was base game one by one installing, most succeeded. I then waited to see if it was just that one causing the fuss... then High school and more tears... I on attempt 3 from a directory rehash... If this doesn't work it is not possible to be anyone but EA's fault.

    Hi, 

    I recently switched my game over to the EA App (I've been using a macbook with Origin and only recently got back to using my PC). All of my packs downloaded fine until I got to the Everyday Clutter kit, which gives me a download error notification. 

    I've tried reinstalling Origin, repairing the game and EA App, clearing the cache - I've tried all the solutions I've found online. Nothing seems to be working.

    The pack works fine on my macbook with Origin.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks!!

    try opening and closing the sims 4 and then try redownloading the kit. I did the same thing with high school years and it worked. it might not work because it's a kit, but it's worth a shot!

    I'm having the same issue with High School Years, Toddler Stuff, and Growing Together. Tried repairing my game because it keeps getting blocked from the graphics hardware (my laptop is more than able to play this game). Been playing it all this time with no issue until today. They hang up on 14% then the repair fails.
