    So I really only play sims on my xbox one. i own a lot of packs on there. i recently had to hard reset my xbox bc it froze on me. after resetting it, i got back on the game and it said that some content wasn’t available. so i check and 4 of the packs i’ve bought weren’t installed. tried to install them and it keeps saying “check back in a little bit we’re having trouble getting your stuff right now” and it’s been doing this for days now. i’ve tried resetting my xbox, removing my account and adding back on, checked my status and everything is fine. idk what to do

    :)

    why can’t i install games ive already purchased?

    went to billing and went through everything. the 4 packs that i can’t install aren’t there. it’s like i’ve never bought them when those were the first 4 i ever bought. when i go to the microsoft store it shows that i bought it and it just needs installed.

    Why can’t I install the purchased DLC?

    Thank you for your reply. I did as you described, signed in again and I still don’t see anything in ‘Ready to Install’ section, or even in the game’s Manage add-ons.

    And yes, the DLCs are showing in the purchased section in my billing history.

    What does this mean?

    Hi KDonlineX,

    Sorry to hear you are having issues, but follow these steps (in order) and hope it will solve the issue:

    1. Check your Check your Xbox purchase history to make sure it has gone through and shows as a purchase.

    2. Remove all your profiles on the Xbox One

    3. Power cycle/reset your console

    4. Add your main profile first and sign in.

    5. Look for add ons in the My Games & Apps section to see if they appear and show as ready to install. Check out the Find your
    games and add-ons on Xbox One
    support page.

    Hope this helps/works and let us know how you get on :)
