Hi there, I decided do play Sims again and bought all my missing packs on Origin and had no problem downloading them. I checked if I own all of them and if they are installed and was suprised that an old pack that I used before was no longer installed. I decided to just download it again and it somehow doesn't work. I'm using the german Origin so I'll try to translate everything.
When I click on the orange 'Download Button' it changes to 'Preparing for Download'. After a while a little window pops up, lower left corner, saying 'Download failed'. Another one pops up in the middle of the screen Download Error, Origin wasn't able to download, check your wifi. All other packs are downloading, so my wifi is just fine.
When I start the game and click on 'My Packs' the one with 'Sims 4 my first pet' is the only one that has a red text about the requirements. It says Sims 4 plus updates and Pets plus updates. All packs except My first pet are working. I tried repairing and to update the game through Origin. No change.
What can I do?

I merged your post with the current report for this.
It's an issue on EA's side and it's being looked into.
Good Luck

@PeachyQueen1990it is a problem that is general with different problems and in the end they are all linked
now we just have to wait for team EA to find a solution to the problem internally which is currently being examined.

I have spoken to two different individuals at EA and they have had me do numerous steps... I have deleted the cache, reinstalled and uninstalled origin, ran origin as an administrator and even checked firewalls and security settings.. My sims 4 will not download, neither will the expansion packs... just keep seeing this message.. "We're sorry, Origin was unable to download your game. Please check your internet connection, or try again later."

what I mean is that the different problems, if you still have the game to install you can not connect to the gallery, if you had a problem with the game and you uninstall it you may not be able to reinstall it and of course impossible to download the pack first pet kit
