Upgraded to PS4 and LBP 3, Missing Most of my DLC

Archive: 21 posts


Apologies if this sounds cranky. I'm honestly not sure that this is the right place to try.

This is my fifth attempt to get help now. I'm not sure where to go at this point. I have attempted to get help the following ways so far:

1. Emailed to hello@littlebigplanet.com - no response
2. Tried Playstation Support Live Chat - did not know how to help, directed to the Sony Support Forums and told a "game developer specialist" would help me if I posted there
3. Sony Support Forums - tried to ask for help, got a condescending attitude from the other users and told that no game developers and nobody that could help would ever look there, respond, or help me
4. Tried Playstation Support Live Chat again - went through repetitive troubleshooting, got nowhere, and directed me to ask for help in this forum and promised a game developer would really be able to help me this time.

I am going to post both my original email and last night's chat transcript below in the hopes that we can address what has already been covered and someone can really help me:

Subject: DLC Issues

From:
To: hello@littlebigplanet.com


Hello,

We just recently (last week, actually) finally upgraded from the PS3 to the PS4, and with it, to LittleBigPlanet 3 on the PS4. I have quite a bit of DLC purchased for LittleBigPlanet 1 and 2, and was under the impression that it would be usable in LittleBigPlanet 3. After quite a bit of research and effort, I was able to import some, but very far from all, of my previously
purchased content. Would you be able to assist me?

Missing DLC Name:

LittleBigPlanetT 2 Muppets Premium Level Kit
LittleBigPlanetT 2 The Electric Mayhem Costume Pack
LittleBigPlanetT 2 The Muppets Costume Pack 2
LittleBigPlanetT 2 The Muppets Costume Pack 1
LittleBigPlanetT Pirates of the Caribbean Level Kit
LittleBigPlanetT 2 The Nightmare Before Christmas Costume Pack
LittleBigPlanetT 2 The Nightmare Before Christmas Level Creator
LittleBigPlanetT 2 Frankenweenie Minipack

PSN Name: MiraxHorn
Nature of the Issue (E.g. Not Visibile On Store. Requires a Second Purchase.): Cannot see the DLC on the store and it is not automatically importing into the game.
Nationality: American
The Console you are using. (PS3, PS4 or Both): PS3 for LittleBigPlanet 1 and 2, PS4 for LittleBigPlanet 3.

There may be additional content missing, as well, but I can reach out once I confirm later.


Thanks in advance,


XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

TONIGHT'S CHAT TRANSCRIPT:

Jose: Hello, My name is Jose how may I assist you today?
Me: Hello Jose, I spoke with Ricardo yesterday, but wasn't able to get assistance. He directed me to the Support Forums for assistance, and all that I got there was a condescending attitude from other users telling me that it was the wrong place to try to get help and that nobody would ever look at my request or respond.
Jose: I see.
Me: So i am trying again and hoping I can actually make some headway or at least be provided with an email address or something for someone who can assist me.
Jose: Ok, how can I help you?
Me: We just recently (last week, actually) finally upgraded from the PS3 to the PS4, and with it, to LittleBigPlanet 3 on the PS4. I have quite a bit of DLC purchased for LittleBigPlanet 1 and 2, and was under the impression that it would be usable in LittleBigPlanet 3. After quite a bit of research and effort, I was able to import some, but very far from all, of my previously
purchased content.
Me: Per the Playstation Blog, Little Big Planet 3 is backwards compatible and all previously purchased costumes / DLC would be able to be pulled in.
Me: I am missing the following DLC:
Jose: Ok.
Me: 1. LittleBigPlanetT 2 Muppets Premium Level Kit, 2. LittleBigPlanetT 2 The Electric Mayhem Costume Pack, 3. LittleBigPlanetT 2 The Muppets Costume Pack 2, 4. LittleBigPlanetT 2 The Muppets Costume Pack 1, 5. LittleBigPlanetT Pirates of the Caribbean Level Kit, 6. LittleBigPlanetT 2 The Nightmare Before Christmas Costume Pack, 7. LittleBigPlanetT 2 The
Nightmare Before Christmas Level Creator, 8. LittleBigPlanetT 2 Frankenweenie Minipack
Me: It is not visible in the in game store, nor is it being pulled into the game automatically.
Jose: Ok, I will try to assist you with your DLCs. To begin with, can you please provide me with your full name and your phone number to contact you if necessary?
Me: I had been able to import other previously purchased DLC by Restoring Licenses on the PS4 and then following the instructions on the game for unlocking Little Big Planet 1 and 2 content.
Me: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Jose: Thanks for confirming that. Allow me a moment while I check on your information.
Me: ok
Jose: I am still researching in order to provide you with the best answer, thank you for your continued patience.
Me: ok
Jose: On PlayStation 4, you'll be able to re-download all your DLC (including costume, sticker and level packs) for free from the in-game store or PlayStation Store.
Jose: However, your progress in DLC levels won't transfer. You'll need to play the levels again from the 'More Stories' area in LittleBigPlanet 3 to unlock everything.
Jose: On your PS4 account into your PS3 Put in LBP1 or 2 ( depending on which one you want to transfer stuff over with ) Then just play the introduction level, save everything, and then go back on your PS4 It should say that you've been on LBP1 or 2 and that you can transfer you stuff, so just hit "Ok" Then go into settings, and go on "Unlock Little Big Planet Content" and then it should import all of your stuff
Me: Okay, but they aren't showing up in the store for me to download. I did this, and it only imported some content (for example, the Men in Black pack and the Final Fantasy VII pack). The packs above did not show up to download.
Jose: Ok, thanks for that.
Jose: Please allow me a moment to check on the content that you mean.
Me: ok
Jose: Just to confirm, you have already tried a restore licences right?
Me: Several times
Jose: Ok, please go ahead and check if you can download Men In Black here > https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP9000-BCUS98245_00-LBPDLCSNYPCK
0002
Jose: Please check if it is showing any price for it.
Jose: And for teh FF VII try here >
https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP9000-BCUS98245_00-LBPDLCSQEXCK
0001
Me: I have already been able to download Men in Black onto Little Big Planet 3, that's not one of the ones I was having trouble with. When I click this link, however, it says $5.99.
Me: Same for FF VII.
Jose: Ok, thanks for that.
Me: The ones that are missing are the ones that I listed originally:
Me: 1. LittleBigPlanetT 2 Muppets Premium Level Kit, 2. LittleBigPlanetT 2 The Electric Mayhem Costume Pack, 3. LittleBigPlanetT 2 The Muppets Costume Pack 2, 4. LittleBigPlanetT 2 The Muppets Costume Pack 1, 5. LittleBigPlanetT Pirates of the Caribbean Level Kit, 6. LittleBigPlanetT 2 The Nightmare Before Christmas Costume Pack, 7. LittleBigPlanetT 2 The
Nightmare Before Christmas Level Creator, 8. LittleBigPlanetT 2 Frankenweenie Minipack
Jose: Thanks for that.
Jose: Ok, please log in on the store and search them on Download List. It is on the Online iD, click on it and you will see it there > https://store.playstation.com/en-us/home/games
Jose: Jennifer, the system is about to time out our chat, are you around?
Me: I am trying to understand what you want me to do.
Jose: Ok, log in on the store with your PSN account. Then below the Sony Logo you will see your Online ID. Click on it and you will see a option that say Download List.
Jose: Search the content there.
Me: I know that they are on the download list because I purchased them and I can see them there.
Me: But they are not pulling into the game on the PS4.
Jose: Ok thanks. Allow me a moment please.
Jose: You will need to search it actually on the date in which you purchased it. id you already check on all the pages for purchases if it is there?
Me: Yes. They are listed under purchases, I can see them on the download list.
Jose: Ok, try download them from there.
Me: I have already tried that. I will try again.
Jose: Go ahead.
Me: ok it will be a moment
Jose: No problem, go ahead.
Jose: This is your case number if the chat times out: 24727791.
Jose: Jennifer, the system is about to time out our chat, are you around?
Me: Yes, my internet is slow
Jose: Ok, thanks for that.
Me: Still trying
Jose: Thank you.
Jose: How is the process going so far?
Jose: Jennifer, the system is about to time out our chat, are you around?
Me: it is now downloading to the ps3
Me: after that i will see if it is showing up on the store for the ps4
Jose: Ok, thanks for that.
Jose: Jennifer, the system is about to time out our chat, are you around?
Me: Yes, I am about to sign out of ps3 and into ps4
Jose: Ok thank you.
Me: Logging back out of PS4 and into PS4 and then checking the game
Jose: Go ahead.
Me: Clicking the Unlock Content Buttons now and they're going through their processes, then will go back to the in game store to look for the packs
Jose: Good, thanks for that.
Jose: How is the process going?
Me: checking the store now
Jose: Thanks, then try to download them.
Me: They are still not showing up on the in game store at all
Me: Despite the fact that I hit the download button and downloaded them to the PS3 again, they are still not showing up on the LBP 3 Store on the PS4
Jose: Thanks for that.
Jose: I am still researching in order to provide you with the best answer, thank you for your continued patience.
Me: ok
Jose: Ok, thanks for your patience.
Jose: But in this case I can see that we have exhausted all the troubleshooting steps available for this process.
Jose: Let me check if there is anything else we can try.
Me: ok
Jose: Ok, please try a Restore Licences again on your PS4.
Jose: Go to Settings > Account Management, and select Restore Licenses. Click OK when done.
Me: ok one moment
Jose: No problem.
Me: ok i have restored licenses again
Me: i will try the game again
Me: clicking unlock content again
Jose: Thanks.
Jose: Did it work?
Me: it is still going
Me: now i am going back to see if the items are visible
Jose: Ok, go ahead.
Me: They are still not there.
Jose: Ok, thanks for that. In that case the only thing that I will be able to do is to post the issue on the LBP Forums in order for a moderator of the game answers you and provides you with the steps for make them show. >
http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/forum.php
Me: Okay, last night I was directed to post on the Sony Support forums and all I got was mocked by other users and told nobody involved with the game ever looks there or will help you.
Me: Are these forums actually moderated by people who can do something?
Jose: This is the forum managed by game moderators.
Jose: They will provide you with an answer.
Me: Okay.
Jose: Great! I would like to know if besides this, is there anything else that I can help you with today?
Me: That's it. I will try this board and see if I can get any further. If not, I suppose I will be back tomorrow.
Jose: Great! It was all a pleasure assisting you today and thank you for chatting with us. Enjoy the rest of your gaming day!

I am hoping that the discussions above can get me the help I need to get what I am missing. It would be great if someone who has access and power can please let me know the next steps to take to get this sorted. Thank you.

I apologize in advance if I am looking for help in the wrong place again. I feel very lost at this point.

Its possible that you may have to re verify your purchases possibly. I did it a few years early 2015 when i upgraded to PS4. But unfortunately at the moment i don't remember how to do it. I think its somewhere in the account settings. I hope this helps a little. If not i'm sorry.

Ah Restore Licenses in Account Management. Hope that works.

Most of your missing DLCs are disney DLCs that are not in store anymore, was changed some months ago, it should be availabe when you had the DLC before, but with new PS4, dont know if that is possible...
Go on Twitter and search for StevenIsbell, he is the LittleBigPlanet community manager and can help you...

Go to your purchase history on the playstation store and you might be able to redownload from there. I know that I had a few pieces that didn't show in the ingame store AND the playstation store, but when I went into my download history, there they were and I was able to download them. NOTE, this is easier to do on PC rather than through the PS4.2018-02-08 13:17:00

No luck so far with any of these sources.2018-02-13 23:24:00

Sometimes one could get despaired, there must be any way for you to transfer your dlc. Did you check your LBP3 settings whether they are put to advanced creating already?

When I upgraded to LBP4 and LBP3 there have been similar problems first, but this had been an overall issue then. I found my dlc in the ingame store and its been signed as already purchased. But I can't remember how I nevertheless could get it, there has been a difference between the store and the ingame store, as far as I know it did only function with the ingame store! I did renew the licenses which is an option somewhere in the xbar of your PS4, I also remember that I had to play all level kitts once again to get the prizes once again, but then it has been fun to me and so it didn't annoy me.

Good luck and many greetings, Jürgen^^

I have this same problem and there appears to be no solution. Just hope and pray beyond reason that Disney stops being a penny pinching jerk and makes the DLC available again, but I don't see it happening.2018-03-06 11:14:00

Hey,

I haven't made any progress, and didn't get any response from anyone I tried to contact beyond this thread. My DLC is still missing. I'm wondering if it's just that the game is too old at this point, so it's not top of anyone's priority list.

When I bought LBP2 for PS3 I received a DLC code for extra animals. When I got LBP3 on PS4, the same DLC didn't show up as free. When browsing in the in-game store of LBP3 PS4 the DLC showed up with a price tag but when I actually clicked to buy it was free, amazingly enough. My suggestion is to try the same thing, even if it doesn't say it's free.2018-04-08 20:44:00

I think it's because of the Disney thing. The licenses are gone and they had to remove the stuff from the store.2018-04-10 06:39:00

I remember I had this problem back when I switched to PS4. I ended up getting all the DLC back, but it was through trying to download it from my computer about 6 times every week or so for 3 months. It was really weird. Some of them I just had to wait. Weird that you're encountering this now.2018-04-10 08:45:00

I didn't have too many problems with that when switching to the PS4. So I am confused.2018-04-10 08:52:00

I'll try it again this weekend. No harm in continuing to try every once in a while. It just figures that MOST of my DLC would fall into this black hole, ya know?2018-04-12 01:09:00
