Re: Sims 4 Eco Life won't Appear after I Downloaded

@SamCaldwell13  Are you running the Legacy Edition of Sims 4?  Eco Lifestyle doesn't run in the LE.  I know you've bought the other packs, but please check anyway.  You can see the version number along the bottom of the Main Menu, where you can load a save or start a new game.  The standard version is currently 1.63.36.1010 (at least in Windows); the LE is version 1.63.36.1510.

If this isn't the issue, please check whether the game's program files contain the EL folder.  The default location would be Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4, and the EL folder is EP09.  If the folder isn't there, please clear Origin's cache, restart your computer, and see if you can download it.

If the folder is there, please clear Origin's cache, restart, and repair the game: open your Origin library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, and select Repair.

    That was exactly it; I guess the Standard edition is not supported on the Surface Pro X and i have to use the Legacy edition. Thanks for the help @puzzlezaddict
