SIMS 4 HORSE RANCH WILL NOT INSTALL

Hello!

I am having trouble with downloading The Sims 4 Horse Ranch. Every time I try to download it, it has an error message. I've tried reinstalling the sims, repairing the game, and looking everywhere for some kind of information. Nothing works. I first purchased it when it came out...didn't work then but I got out of sims for a bit. Then I thought well maybe on a slim chance, the payment didn't go through. Then I purchased it AGAIN in September. still DOESNT work. I don't' know what to do! please help!

    Hey @angellmarie,

    Sorry to hear you've been having so much trouble with this. It looks like there are a couple things going on that we can hopefully shed some light on.

    Regarding the double purchases, this will be something support needs to look into again for you. I would suggest opening a new case specifically for the refund aspect rather than for the download issue. They'll need to refund the most recent purchase since it's a duplicate of a pack you already had on the account.

    As far as the downloading issue, this looks to be more of a potential EA app issue than something specific to your account. It sounds like you may have gone through many of these steps already, but please take another look through these troubleshooting options just to be sure each step has been attempted.

    If you're still having the same issue after going through all of the steps linked above, we'll need to gather some additional details to help investigate further. Please head over to this thread and provide the information requested in the linked post as you're able, thanks.

    Hey @angellmarie , what error message are you getting exaclty? What have you tried so far? How do your two transactions look like in your transactions history, does it say if they're completed, processing, failed...?

    I attached a screen shot. Tried to get help with EA chat and got NO HELP whatsoever. 

    One sale made in July of 2023 is "Processing"

    the other purchase made in September of 2024 is "completed."

    you can see in the bottom left hand corner it says "Something went wrong" with a red triangle. Says it everytime I try different things to correct it.

    @angellmarie  Were you able to chat with an EA support rep, or did you email them?  Live chat is typically much more effective.  If you didn't or still don't see the option, try choosing a slightly different category of issue.  You can also try while signed out—some options allow you to continue without signing in.

    If you can't open a chat, try a different browser, or a different device.

    I tried chatting with 3 people on EA chat. 

    2 just couldn't help me, and the third person accused me of already downloading the game and playing it. I'm like If i already downloaded it and played it then why in the world am I contacting you??

    I'm so frustrated.
