How to View Sims4 Expansion Pack Download Status?

[AshAnne89]

I have just purchased the Sims 4 Cats and Dogs Expansion Pack, Selected Download but I cannot see the status of the download anywhere? Where can I view if it is actually downloading or not? When I select download manager in-game it says no active tasks? Please assist.

You should be able to see the progress in the left-hand corner of Origin.

From the Sims home page, type Shift + F1. Then open the Download Manager. You should be able to see your packs, expansions downloading and what is left in queue.

@TalentdMom I’m downloading Nifty Knitting, and it shows up in my packs on the Sims home page but it’s not in the actual gameplay. I tried Shift+F1 and nothing pops up or changes. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.
