The Sims 4 Is Greyed Out on the EA APP

So... This started after i purchase the new expansion that has yet to be released. I bought on Steam (that's where i get all of my Sims 4 dlcs, which is all that has been released so far). Anyways, i bought and didn't think to much of it, until i decided to do a little play session and saw that my Sims 4 is greyed out and unavailable. As you can see, the game is registering that i got a new dlc (it was 95 before but then it showed 96) but out of nowhere, it suddenly has it this way. I haven't done anything to it, apart from turning my computer back on to play the game. I actually forgot that the dlc wasn't out it... Had i known i probably would've waited until release. 

I checked on Google to see if there was anyone with the same issue, and i saw that a community manager had suggested to do this:

Hey @hazel0220 , first things first try clearing EA app's cache to see if that fixes the issue. Simply click the three dashes in the far-left corner of the EA app > Help > App recovery > Clear cache.

I did exactly that and nothing happened. I'm still seeing this issue and unable to play the game. ***Sorry about the quality of the photos, i took with my phone.***

  • hallowqueen128  Since you own Sims 4 through Steam, you'll need to launch it through Steam, and also repair or update there.  Are you unable to play?  If so, please let me know what happens when you try to play through Steam.
