Purchases from Sims Mobile didn’t reflect in game

I purchased a festival pass and on the game and didn’t see it in game or it’s not reflected in it. I tried reaching out both the app developer and the apple help. Both said it’s already fixed and refunded but suddenly, apple sent another receipt for the same purchase in the game. The game still didn’t have the festival pass. It’s already gone through my bank account and I couldn’t even see it in game. I just want to ask whether I’m scammed or not, and whether I’ll be even able to get my money back if this is not a scam by both EA and APPLE.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 16

Hello clrizz,


This page can help out with providing some helpful information and steps to take for issues finding/using an in-app purchase: If you can't find or use your in-app purchases - Apple Support


Restore your in-app purchases
Some in-app purchases, such as game currency or hints, are consumable, which means that they run out as you use them. You can’t restore consumable purchases. Learn about different types of in-app purchases.
You might be able to restore a non-consumable purchase, such as an upgrade to a pro version, an extra feature in a game, or a subscription:
1. Open the app that you used to buy the item.
2. Look for an option to restore. You might find it in the app's store, main menu, Settings menu, or Options menu.
If you try to restore and nothing happens or you get an error
• Make sure that you're signed in with the same Apple ID that you used to make the purchase.
Make sure that in-app purchases are allowed on your device.
• Restart your device:
Restart your iPhone 
Restart your iPad 
Restart your iPod touch
• If you were charged for the purchase and you still can't restore it, contact the app developer for support. You can also report a problem to Apple.


The page will help to note that if the steps haven't helped it may be necessary to reach out to the app developer for additional investigation, if you were billed for the purchase.


Cheers.
