Can't download Sims 4 pets

★★★ Newbie

I tried downloading the add on and it said cannot download at this time and then the option disappears. I own the add on and there is no indication on Origin or my emails that the purchase didnt go through.

On the 3/11 I have pre-ordered the sims 4 pets, now being the release date it won’t let me download it. I can’t find anywhere where I can 😬

https://www.origin.com/irl/en-us/store/the-sims/the-sims-4/expansion/the-sims-4-cats-and-dogs

 

Can you check in the upper time corner on that page the exact release date and hour for your region? It's written with smaller fonts.

 

For me it shows something like this:

 

Release date:

November 10, 2017 1:00 AM EET

 

That is Eastern Europe time.  Depending your time region the game page will display a different hour and even day. 

I do not work for EA and i am not associated with the company in any way. I am a player just like you, trying to help wherever i can.I will not answer to any unsolicited PM.

Thank you, I believe that was extremely helpful. Mine says November 9, 2017 at 11 pm CST. That probably answers why it's not available at this time!

For me it's been realised and I bought and downloaded it and it was fine and then I wanted to do some gameplay after you know checking out the new clothing content, I moved my sims into a household and it would be forever stuck on the sim diamond loading thingy and wouldn't let me do any gameplay and when I went to origin it apparently didn't download (idk how i saw some content and created a dog) and every time I click download it just won't it says finalising and it doesn't download. 

 

Could you please help me?
