I have the Cats and Dogs bundle and want to have My First Pet. The Sims website says I will only be charged for My First Pet if I already own Cats and Dogs. This has proven false and I was charged the full price. I contacted XBox immediately and they refunded me for the full bundle. I spoke to one of the people at XBox and was informed this is an ongoing issue regarding My First Pet. They told me to make a bug report regarding this.

I noticed the my first pet stuff pack when I loaded into the sims 4 on Xbox and it’s saying it requires the Cats and Dogs expansion pack which I have but cannot make a purchase? Is this pack still being developed or is it out on console now and just isn’t working?

[RainbowOceansMom]

I found this - I tried it and was charged the full amount
On Xbox One
To get the pack on your Xbox One, you first need to own or purchase Cats & Dogs. For $39.99, you can get a bundle including both packs. If you already own Cats & Dogs, you’ll still add the bundle to your cart, but you will only be charged $9.99 for the My First Pet Stuff Pack.

@kiane1234 I had to go to Microsoft to request a refund. No idea if/when they’ll fix the glitch.

@RainbowOceansMom Do you know why when I downloaded the first pet pack why when I go to cas or build mode and try to filter it to my first pet it says I don't own it but when I go to main menu it says that it's owned and installed. I know you don't work for ea so I don't expect a response but if you know the solution it would mean a lot I you told me

[RainbowOceansMom]

I don’t know, but I’d contact your platform provider Microsoft or Sony.  
EA/origin can only help if bought/playing through them on PC.
I emailed Microsoft through their website with any and all issues I have with their online form. 
In the meantime try doing a complete shutdown restart of your console and check if theirs any updates.  Bc it seems this pack and Xbox is a bit glitchy.

So I play the sims 4 on the Xbox One, and recently I have been wanting to buy the Cats and Dogs pack. I went to look at it and it says "This pack is unavailable for purchase" I'm super confused as I was able to purchase it a few weeks ago when I first looked at it. I have never had this problem with any other packs and the other packs are available for purchase. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there something I can do? please help I really want to make a Tiger King-themed household and need to have cats!

@RainbowOceansMom ooh is that the issue. I thought i needed to have all expansions.

[RainbowOceansMom]

@dimitribaas89 No, my first pets you just need Sims4 and cats and dogs.
I’ve got all the packs/expansions and still had issues with it.

Hi @katiearnold121,

When you open Cats and Dogs in the store, can you see the requirements listed for unlocking the pack? Can you pop up a screenshot of what you're seeing please? It will help us get a visual.

Thanks,
