Why are the new sims 4 packs I just bought not downloading properly

I just bought Dine out yesterday and let it download. I opened my game and the pop up you’d normally see when buying a new pack or kit didn’t show up, I did get a pop up saying that I had content that wasn’t finished downloading and that I could see it by clicking shift+f1 but nothing after that. I ended up buying the pastel pop  kit to see if the game pack would download properly with that one. It didn’t. I’ve been messing around with my computer deleting things thinking it was because I didn’t have enough space I looked through different threads, I cleared the app cache before and after re-downloading the packs but they didn’t say installed. I clicked the help button on the download page in the EA app but nothing has worked I caved and uninstalled the game but when reinstalling it the Extra Content drop down doesn’t show Dine out or the pastel pop kit? I bought a kit a month ago and that went just fine it downloaded and showed up in game which is why I think it may just be my computer? I haven’t tested it after reinstalling yet but I figured asking wouldn’t hurt

    @TheIllusionexe56  Open a File Explorer window, click This PC in the left panel, and scroll down a bit if necessary.  You'll see the free and total space on each installed drive.

    I'd do the following steps if clearing the cache doesn't work. When I attempted to do this multiple times, the app stopped working and I had to uninstall it. 

    1. Open Task Manager and end all EA related tasks. 

    2. Change the Download Rate within the EA APP if your downloads are constantly being disrupted. This was happening to me and I changed the download rate to 20 MB/s and have had no issues since. Note: If you click on the bottom left for the pack that is downloading, you'll see a screen pop up where you can manually change the download rate. 

    As noted by others, I don't work for EA. Just sharing what has worked for me. 

  • i recently downloaded the sims 4 for rent and it worked but, the main features of the WORLD & THE ACTUAL RENTALS ARE UNUSABLE!!☹️ 

    not only that but i have just bought the sims 4 greenhouse haven kit and there is no download option it is unusable as in i have waisted 8 AUD to EA.
