SDX drop downloaded but not showing up in game

So I started my game in offline mode (trying to avoid all the new bugs and just keep it at the Moon Phase update until they're fixed) and it said I could download the July 2022 SDX drop, so I clicked to download that, and restarted my game, but when I go into CAS I don't see any of the stuff there? Like my internet is properly connected, it just won't let origin connect to the internet, 'cuz I don't have the recent mandatory origin update that forces you to repair+update Sims 4 before running it.

So like, did the SDX actually work? is it really installed? When I go into the SDX part of the game options and check it says I have all the latest SDX content, but it's not showing up in my game. I also don't have the Alien Stole My Parents Scenario.

If I were to reconnect to the internet would I be able to re-download the SDX drop? Or will I just forever not be able to get this content in my game?

    I don't know about the SDX drop, I never know what we're getting so never know if it downloaded or not. But I did have a problem with the Alien Stole My Parents scenario.

    I started the scenario, but my game crashed. When I went back in there was no option for it. So I started whatever the limited time scenario was at the time and when I finished that scenario the Alien Stole My Parents scenario was there again, so I started it again.

    I'd love to know the answer to this too, as I'm in exactly the same situation.

    I thought they're supposed to add it to future patches if you miss out on the SDX drop, but idk if my account will register as having it already and then not add it in a patch? This is my first time not getting one so I really don't know what will actually happen.

    It'd be nice to have the CAS stuff but if I have to choose between that or breaking my save files with all these bugs, I'd rather just avoid both the origin update and future Sims updates until it's safe again, even if I miss out on some stuff... But it'd be nice to know if I can get these new facepaints and clothes later, I'm just not sure x.x

    There is a folder named 'content' in your user files. In it are the files for the SDX Deliveries. In between Patches deliveries will need to be redownloaded if you delete this folder.

    How do you redownload them?

    This will happen without you doing anything if you are online.

    You have to be online for it to download
    If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all. Live in your Truth.

    You can actually download SDX drops without Origin/game online. I've done it a few times myself.

    @Sheepiling Through in-game settings there's a Sims Delivery tab. You may already have it checked to Automatically Download. If not, Check for new content should be an option. Then restart the game once it's complete. Yes patches are supposed to automatically patch in any previous missing SDX drops.
