Sims 4 DLC stuck on preparing
I bought the sims 4 vampire pack last night at around 9:30pm but it is still “preparing” and has not downloaded. It’s been about 18 hours

Hi @priimadonnaxo @1Sopy @Txbs_xo & @isabel6847
Please try the following steps to clear this up:
- Open task manager, locate EA Background Service, and end task
- Clear the cache for the EA app
- Run the EA app as an administrator
- Check for any background applications blocking the EA App
- Try lowering your User Access Control Settings:
- Close the EA app
- Click the Windows button and type "UAC" in the search field
- In the User Access Control window, click and hold the slide bar —slide it to the lowest setting available
- Click Okay the bottom of the window
- Open the EA app client and try starting the download again
