Packs/Worlds showing as deactivated in-game/Not active after purchase

When you click the game on and get to the start screen just go to the marketplace and click it. When there click "My Collection" and you'll see all the stuff you own. Anything deactivated will say it is and be grey. Go to "Pack Selection" and check the box of the one you want to activate. After you confirm it and it's done go back to your collection and it should now saw "Active" and be in green

How do you activate them? How do I know its active or deactivated?  i bought royalty and it wont show up .  Do you have a step by step?

I'm glad this isn't a permanent thing because it's been confusing for so many since they moved everything we owned to the Marketplace

Holy **bleep**.  That worked!  Thanks.  Would have been great if EA would've explained that all of your purchased content is in the marketplace.

Okay so during the update my sims didn't work because i have the WW mod but after they sent out another update it fixed it. yesterday 3/18/26 i bought the bundle and save deal off EA with Life or death, dine out, and my first pet. I have tried everything i restarted the game, the EA app, my computer, looked up stuff and deleted files that could cause glitching as well as checking the EA app to see if they actually downloaded, they did. i repaired it 20x I've full on logged out and back in 20x but still all 3 still say deactivated on the main game idk if its apart of the glitching in the game since the update but all my friends games seem to be running fine and mine does too except for my new stuff not working. this is genuinely making me so upset i just wanna play with my packs.

I downloaded and installed get to work, get famous, and discover university, and the worlds that come with those are not letting me access them. I completely installed them restarted my game but when I log on and manage worlds, there is three worlds that will not let me access them. It just says World not installed when this pack has finished. Downloading restart The Sims 4 to install it. I have done all of that, but I'm still unable to play on those three worlds not sure what's going on. Need help fixing this.

I am currently having the exact same problem

Hi people, I’ve just downloaded 3 expansions packs in one go, they were really fast at downloading which kinda made me a bit sus in the first place. I then load the sims4 up and my packs aren’t downloaded. When I go to manage my add-ons it says they’re installed. I’m so confused right now… help lol

Have you been able to resolve this yet? I’m having the same problem.
