It's my understanding that this EP is released today at 10 AM Pacific Daylight Savings Time, which would make it 11 AM Mountain Daylight Savings Time for me. So, I went into my game to hopefully find I had a download. No such thing. I checked my Order History and was surprised to learn I had to await an email telling me when I could download the game. Well, so far, the only email I've received is the one from Origin/EA thanking me for my pre-order. It is now forty plus minutes after 11 AM. So, I'm coming here to see if any one else who pre-ordered has received their email as to just when they can download the EP.
Sitting here frustrated and wanting to play my game. So, I guess, if all else fails, since the one key mod I need to play my Main Save has been deemed compatible, I'll keep myself occupied. I just worked so very hard these past two days to get my ancestral game save ready to go. I will be starting a fresh game with these two families. But, still.
Have you gotten your email and in what time zone are you?
Thanks!

I guess when our president told Putin what sites he shouldn't hack, he left out the gaming industry. Face/palm. Well, that would explain a lot. Dang.

The Gaming Industry is like the Wild West, not enough regulation (at least in the USA). EA's been having lots of problems with people hacking them.
It sucks that this happened the day of the release of this pack
Oh NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Bummer.
Some players have suggested you restart Origin. Others said it took a computer restart. So far, I've gotten as far as the EP download ready, but when I click on that it takes me to the page but when I click on the download part nothing happens.
I wish these low-life's Hacker types would get out of their mother's basement, shower, dress and find a REAL job instead of infringing on those of us who only wish to play our game. Not bothering a soul in doing so. Face/palm. End. of. Rant. For, now, that is.

Unfortunately, a lot of people can't afford that, so it's kind of a 🐸🐸🐸🐸 solution from EA's side... Really sucks to pre-order and get excited and then have to wait for your order to get canceled and refunded before you can buy it again
I tried this, and now Origin is saying 'you have a new expansion ready for installation', which it wasn't before, but there's no button to actually install it. On the store page for EPs, it's still showing Cottage Living as 'unlocked' for me but there's no option to install it. What a mess.
Update: I just went round and round the Origin pages again, and it finally gave me a button for a download on the Cottage Living entry. Downloading now, thankfully.

So is that why the new expansion world was showing up in my game this morning, but grayed out, and now isn't there at all?
I guess it’s back to getting the expansion pack after everybody else in the world (literally) already has theirs.
After restarting my PC, I STILL don't have access to download it. I've tried the 'update game' function but it tells me it's up to date but Cottage Living is NOT installed. I even tried going offline on Origin and going online again. No go. We should be able to access the game we paid for. Refunds can take up to 10 days to go through (Usually they're much faster than that) and I'm not about to ask for a refund just to 'pre-order' the game again. I paid for it. I want to download it.
Yes, I'm annoyed. LOL
That's not working for me. There's no arrow under the expansion, though it shows it's unlocked. There's no download arrow on the cover in Origin, either.
I haven’t gotten any emails. Origin says I own the pack, but my game says I don’t.
EA is aware of the issue, at least. I've also posted in this thread over on the help forums: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-Feedback/Today-is-July-22nd-Why-hasn-t-Cottage-Living-Downloaded-yet-on/m-p/10532657/highlight/false#M52365
