@Daisy-Cali-Honey Please clear Origin's cache:
https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/
and repair the game: open your Origin game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, and select Repair.
Now check in-game to see whether the Cottage Living content shows up. Please look for both the new world and for items in Build/Buy and let me know whether they're present.
