Sims 4 DLC shows 'in-game content' in EA App but not owned in-game

Hi, I redeemed three Sims 4 DLCs using CD keys. In the EA App, they show up under “Manage Add-ons” as “in-game content,” but in the game they appear as “Not Owned” and cannot be used.

I have already:
– Reinstalled the base game
– Cleared EA App cache
– Changed install path and language
– Confirmed I'm logged into the correct EA account
– Waited over 24 hours for syncing

The DLCs I activated are:
– Macabre Mementos Digital Content
– Lovestruck Heartbreak Happens Digital Content
– Set Up Shop Digital Content

Please help bind these properly to my account so they appear as owned and download correctly.

Thank you!

  • sailormecory​  The missing DLC is all bonus content from newer expansions, not the expansions themselves.  So you'd see maybe three items of bonus content but not the EP.  Are those items missing?  You can find plenty of screenshots on line for the bonus content from Life & Death, Lovestruck, and Businesses & Hobbies, respectively.

    Hi, I’m having an issue with Sims 4 DLCs that I redeemed with CD keys. In EA App they show as “In-Game Content” under Manage Add-ons, but in the game they are listed as “Not Owned” and I can’t use them.

    I have already:

    Cleared EA App cache

    Reinstalled both EA App and the Sims 4 base game

    Changed install directory

    Verified I am logged into the correct EA account

    Removed CAS Demo

    Run both EA App and the game as administrator

    Checked game folder for missing DLC files

    Tried repairing the game

    Tried going offline and online again
