Hello.
* (mods please move this if I'm posting in wrong area)
* (I've cropped out personal identifiers in my screenshots)
I purchased the PS4 digital version of Cities Skylines and all season passes and all leftover content not available from the season passes - basically everything available up to march 2022 (when Airports was the latest DLC). If it matters - I might have purchased a "special" edition like mayor's / ultimate edition etc but I'm not sure. Everything worked fine.
Fast forward a year after not playing Cities for awhile. Also -- since then my PS4 had a major malfunction and I pretty much needed to buy a new one. I re-downloaded Cities and was going to buy the latest DLC before noticing there was content I'd definitely bought before showing as available for purchase and being able to add to the cart and check out -- which means the system doesn't recognized it's owned (and makes it hard to know what I need to get all content) and ultimately caused me to hesitate buying any new DLC. Weirdly the PSN system OS also says it's "installed."
I'm fairly knowledgable on Playstation on how to troubleshoot. I have activated the new PS4 as the "Primary" and linked it to my PSN account. I've also "restored licenses". Neither of these steps worked.
Anyway - I figured I'd try to play the game and see what happens. All of the content "seems" to be available as before but I haven't really rebuilt an advanced city yet. There's a few oddities I've noticed. The "installed DLC" boxes on the top right seem to be missing a few from what I had originally. And the in-game store launcher always gives an error message -content can't be loaded at this time- . The PSN store itself doesn't seem to show all the DLC packs as choices to buy/download either.
Below shows an example with Airports but it's also (at least) Campus and Sunset Harbor having the same issue. I don't want to accidentally re-buy content I already own when buying all new content. I also want to make sure there's no issues if I do buy the newest stuff. And that everything I have purchased never gets "lost" or "unowned".
I could be way off (and probably am) but I feel like the game and dlc content has been repackaged somehow which is confusing the PSN store due to my system failure. I say this because some DLC packs have an option to choose a version: either "Add-On Content" or "Add-On" which the former is free and available to download and the latter wants me to pay for it. BUT not all packs have this choice and just wants me to buy it.
Any help?
Thanks!
