    I think you can create your own bundle nowadays?

    That didn't work for me. When I tried to buy IL Origin suggested I should go for a bundle. But then in the next screen all the other EPs were eligible, only IL didn't show up. I was impatient and bought just IL.

    Thank you everyone for your help! Akil, I can't see your post, so I'm guessing it's from Twitter. Twitter links don't display on the forum for me for some reason.

    Anyway, when Island Living was only available for preorder, I couldn't add it to a bundle. However, now, 47 minutes after it was released for my timezone, I was able to add it to a bundle. I am now the proud owner of Island Living! :smile:

    It already released worldwide, try bundling from an incognito window

    The Sims 4 Island Living is already available to bundle but I don't get the option to add the pack to a bundle, what can I do?
    Some players have reported cache issues in the past. Clear your Origin cache to make sure stored old data is not causing the problem. If you are using the Origin client, you can learn how to clear Origin cache here. If you are using origin.com, clear your browser cache or try again using an incognito window.

    Well, thanks for posting this thread! I could never figure it out (I was trying to do it on mobile - if you’re struggling, use Origin on PC).

    Just bundled Island Living with Strangerville and Backyard Stuff. I hate Strangerville, but it’s the only game pack I don’t have so I couldn’t pick anything else and I want the military career, and all Stuff packs are a massive waste of money - but for an extra $10 AUD for both, I’ll do it. Cheers!

    Clear Origin's cache or use a web browser to build a bundle with IL. It's available already.

    I am unable to bundle it. I've cleared my cache multiple times and it still isn't coming up

    I was able to do it by going to the online origin website in incognito mode!

    I had to do a google search for something like "Sims 4 bundle" and work from there.

    I wonder if I can wait long enough to bundle - I own everything except IL and MFP :(

    I'm unable to bundle Island Living despite I have at least one missing for each three packs. Could it be because it stacks with the current Origin Summer sale and doesn't allow me to?

    It won't let me build a bundle with it either. I don't own the Island Living EP... and there is also 3 GP's and 3 SP's that I currently do not own. I contacted EA Help for Origin. This is the message I received by them... :(

    My name is Kevin and I am with the Specialist team here at EA Help. I have received a case that was escalated on your behalf regarding Origin, I just wanted you to know you are in good hands! I understand you are trying to build a bundle for The Sims 4 but it will not let you. That is not fun to hear and I would like to look into that. After looking at your account, it does appear you have all the Expansions that are available in the Bundle area right now. I believe the only one you do not have is the Island Living Expansion but that is too new to be apart of the Bundles yet. Usually an Expansion has to be released for 2 months before it is available in the Bundle. There are special offers right now for the other items though if you look for the SimSale going on right now. Here is a direct link:

    You contacted us about not being able to build a bundle and we confirmed you have all the Expansion available to be put in the bundle at this moment. If you have further questions then please feel free to reply to this Email or use the Contact Us feature on Help.EA.com. For any queries with EA games, please check our extensive knowledge base at Help.EA.com for self-help options and Answers.EA.com for possible solutions posted by other players who experienced the same issues before.

    Thank you for contacting EA Help and have a wonderful day!
    With every deed, you are sowing a seed... though, the harvest you may not see

    The issue is however, I had no issues at all bundling before the sale. I just decided not to buy it at that time.

    EA Help's accuracy of solving issues has never been on-point, unfortunately. I'm guessing after the sales, we'll be able to as before.

    Have you done the usual stuff such as clearing Origin cache? Without that, the Origin client often won't realize there's a new pack to be used in a bundle, for whatever reason.

    Cause of the sale going on, IL can’t be bundled. Probably have to wait for it to be over.

    That's correct - The Sims 4 Island Living is not part of the sale and that's why it's not available to bundle right now. It will be included into the Build Your Bundle tool again once the current The Sims 4 sale ends on July 18th.
