Windows 10: Sims 4 Installation

So, I bought the sims 4 in the Microsoft store ages ago, and I have friends who have the same computer as me Windows 10 who have been able to buy, install and play it without an issue. But when I go into my purhcases it says it doesn't work on my device? Which I know to be BS as I've seen people play it on the exact same computer and people online asking about bugs. When I click on the page of the game, it says I own it, and it says install on devices, but when I click on that it says no connected devices available? This has been annoying me for months honestly, seeing as I'm the only one who can't actually download it. Any advice would be more than helpful, as it wasn't cheap, and I can't even install it.

Sims 4 deleting custom content

Hello KayleeAdams,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

To address your concern, kindly help us with the following questions:

1. Which version of Windows is installed on your machine?
   
2. Are you accessing the game on Xbox device or Windows PC?
   

I would suggest you to enable custom content option and see if that works. To do that,

• Go to Game options > Other >
  Enable Custom Content and Mods.
  
• If it isn’t ticked, place a tick mark and
  exit the game.
  
• Later, get back to your game and see if your custom context is present.
  

If the issue persists, I suggest you to contact The Sims 4 Official Support from the following link:
