Expansion pack that should be on sale - isn't

[ Edited ]
★★ Novice

Hello, I noticed this problem in the game.

 

I believe it was yesterday (August 15th, 2019) when all of the expansion packs (except Island Living) were put on a 50% sale. However, when I try to buy Get Together or City Living, even though their little icon in game says 50% off, when the separate window where you actually have to buy them opens up, it says those 2 packs are not actually on sale.

 

I'm not sure if this is the right place to write this, but I hope someone will still be able to help me.

@KristinaBubbles  I've moved your post to the Origin tech section, since the issue is with Origin and not Sims 4.

 

Could you take a couple of screenshots of what you're seeing?  Origin is showing the correct price for me, both on the website and in the app, right up to the point where it wants my PayPal info.  If you're on the Origin website, try clearing your browser cache, or using a private window.  For the Origin app, try clearing its cache (Windows) or running the Origin reset tool (macOS).

The issue i wrote about here isn't fixed (trying to buy the expansion pack through the game itself) BUT I did manage to buy it by going through the Origin app on my desktop. Thank you for your help Standard smile

Hey there, @KristinaBubbles.

 

It's great to hear that you were able to buy the expansion at the sale price! We're looking into what's going on with the in-game pricing differences so no hiccups occur for others. Standard smile

 

Thanks for reaching out!
