The Sims 4: Get To Work Expansion Pack Won't Install!!
I bought The Sims 4 Get To Work expansion pack today and attempted to install it, but every time the installation window pops up, I click continue, and it tells me to install The Sims 4 update - but the thing is, I already did yesterday before realizing that I would even buy the expansion pack, and yet it consistently keeps telling me to install the update no matter what I do.
I've poked around on other questions, but none were really the same as what I'm asking. One suggested to restart and login to Origin on the website, which I did and didn't see an improvement. I've tried to install it as administrator, which usually does the trick, and nothing. I right-clicked the icon in my Origin to check for updates, and even that is telling me that I'm all up to date. Every time I try, I still get the dialogue box telling me to install an update that is already installed.
Is anyone else having this issue? Shed some light on this situation please?
I was so excited about this expansion pack, but even I should know that nothing comes without a catch -____-
So, after looking around some more, I've managed to solve my own question.
For those of you with the same problems, my solution is below:
After snooping around on the Sims 4 forums, someone suggested to just go through Origin by opening the Origin window, clicking "Origin" at the top bar, click "Redeem Product Code" and enter your GTW product code.
Afterwards, it will do nothing. This is the part that freaked me out. Don't freak out - it'll be ok.
Because Get To Work is an expansion pack, it won't show up in your Origin library and won't even show that its downloading. Instead, you have open The Sims 4 and click the Plumbobs button on the tippy-top of the opening page, and there is where you will see that you "own" the GTW expansion pack.
As for what happens after that, I don't know. Mine is still downloading so I can't say at this time.
