Hey
Just found out the expansion pack dlc does not automatically get downloaded, you have to do it manually.

Howto: Right click gameguru in steam and select view dlc, then in the list that comes up find "GameGuru - Expansion Pack" tick the box next to it, and you should get a download (wait 1 hour). Thanks Belidos, found this in a models thread.
This contains the classic section in entities which has more than 100 entities, 10 characters and over 1 gb of data.

GameGuru you should change the expansion pack to be ticked on as default like other dlc's you have. I dont think anyone would automatically find out about this.
Thanks in advance

I think the only reason why its manual is because its a pretty large download size.

Indeed, it was ticked originally, then we got reports from the community that users with low speed or high-cost bandwidth had problems downloading a multi GB pack, so we decided to make the expansion pack an optional free DLC. You're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't

Very true but i think you made the right choice leaving it unticked ..
As soon as i launch the steam GUI its instantly visible in the DLC as unticked … Its not Rocket Science .

The only person ever to get all his work done by "Friday" was Robinson Crusoe..
