Lgndofthestar Do you have any other Steam games installed? If not, please uninstall and reinstall Steam. Doing so would remove installed Steam games, at least if you haven't changed the location of the game library, so don't do this if reinstalling anything would be a burden.

I fixed the "content file locked" issue by reinstalling TS4 without any dlc. I never owned two sets of the basegame I purely owned it in steam with some DLC in EA. The EA dlc downloads into the game fine, but upon reinstalling the STEAM DLC it still wont load into the game.
