Here's what the Android programmer says about that: to help add the DLC you can download an external file management app like Amaze File Manager (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amaze.filemanager) or to connect your phone to a computer to move/update the files.
You'll need to redownload and install the base game and any other DLCs you own to have them be up-to-date as well. I'm sorry for the trouble!
I have a samsung s10, so ymmv. Hopefully, this helps (I know there are a lot of steps, but it took me less than 5 minutes):
1. Download the base game from itch.io (this is an .apk file) 2. Download the DLC(s) you purchased (these are .rpa files) 4. Download and install Amaze File Manager from the Play Store 5. Install the base game by clicking on the .apk file and following the prompts to install 6. Open the Amaze app and follow the prompts to allow access to your files, as well as grant "All files access" (clicking Grant will take you to the Settings location, but you'll have to find Amaze in the list, click on its name, and toggle "Allow access to all files" on) 7. Once that setting is toggled on, go back to Amaze and find your Downloads folder there. Inside should be all your .rpa files. 8. Long press on the first .rpa file you want to install and then click on the rest. All of them should be highlighted before the next step. 9. Once highlighted, click on the copy button (an icon of two rectangles in front of each other) at the top of the app 10. Navigate to your Android folder within the Amaze app, then the data folder inside of it. You might have to allow another access prompt here. 11. Scroll down to the "ourlife.demo.apk" file and click on it, then the "files" file inside. 12. At the top of the app, there should be a new folder button (picture of a folder with a +). Click that and make a new folder called "game". 13. Click on the "game" folder, and then click the "Use This Folder" button at the bottom of the app. You will again need to grant access through a prompt. 14. Finally, click the "Paste" button at the bottom of the app, and you should be all set! Open the Our Life app, and enjoy getting married to the best crybaby!!!
omg you’re an absolute life saver thank you so much 😭 ive been trying for ages to get it to work and youve explained it so easily i had it all done within a few minutes, thanks for taking the time to write all of that out i really appreciate it 😊
Hey there! Fellow mac user here, so I might be able to help if it still hasn't worked. If you already downloaded to 1.5 ver, I suggest you move all dlcs from your last downloaded game of Cove and move it to the game folder in the 1.5. To get to the Game Folder, you'll need to click "Show Package Contents" by right clicking. One you've got show package contents it shouldn't take much to find the game folders (Contents -> Resources -> Autorun -> Game). It might ask later ask you about a privacy issue and that it wont work because of an unidentified creator or smth like that. Just go to setting, click on security and privacy, get on the General tab in it, and then allow the Cove game to work! Hopefully this helps. <3
I'm playing on windows and when I try to download the DLC I get a "no manager for installer known" error. I assume it's because the game is made for all systems and it doesn't have a specific download for each one. Does anyone know how to fix this problem??
For Mac users, we didn't need a program like we thought.
Just follow their instructions which were to copy the new files in the game folder:
1. Download the rpa file after purchase
2. Open the folder of your current Our Life Build and find the "game" folder inside. To view folders on Mac you might have to right click the application launcher and select "view package contents" and you may have to open a couple different folders before you find the "game" folder tucked away inside
3. Move or copy/paste the rpa file into the Our Life "game" folder
I'm trying to get the DLC working on Android, but I'm unable to copy or move the rpa file to where the apk files are. I did check permissions and nothing is denied for my files, but it's stuck as a completely separate download that's unable to be moved when the other dlcs automatically went to the app as an update. Though that could be because the extension is different this time.
Here's what the Android programmer says about that: to help add the DLC you can download an external file management app like Amaze File Manager (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amaze.filemanager) or to connect your phone to a computer to move/update the files.

Android doesn't let you copy and paste files into the data file anymore, so you either have to use a computer or the original files app(Even apps with "Manage storage" permissions can't copy or move files to it normally)
(There are a few other ways, but those two seem the easiest, and you don't have to download anything else)
To get to the original files app go to Settings ->Storage-> Files
then open the Files app when it asks you which app to use(Not Files by Google)
Then follow the instructions on the linked post(You basically have to drag and drop instead of "copy/move to" commands)
You want the "Copying and Moving Files into the Folder" heading
Yes this is the way to go, it took a hell of a long time and a bit of crying but now all my dlc's show as installed.
As an addition to this you have to drag and drop each file 1 by 1, you cannot create a folder containing them all and drag that folder into the android/data/ourlife.demo.apk folder as it will not show up as downloaded (at least it didn't for me), you need to drag them all into the android/data/ourlife.demo.apk/files folder, then create a game folder and place them all in there. The game folder is also very important as only dragging them into the file folder will not have them show up as installed.
AHHHH I'm literally will start the game again so I can make the wedding more special <3 that and my name, unfortunately, is not present in the name dlc xD IM SOO HYPEE

I'm really excited to see this DLC being added to one of the best games I've ever played. <3 It's a happy bonus that the release date happens to be on my birthday too!

getting to the android/data folders is a colossal pain even with file browsing apps. anyone else?
ok i have no idea how to get this working on mac. i've looked at the comments and followed extracting videos, none of it is working :(

I'm loving the DLC so far! but I've got a small bug (or maybe hidden content?) that Cove is shirtless in his wedding attire. xD
I chose short-sleeved blue shirt, white vest, no jacket, no tie & a corsage. The white pants was all that made it to the sprite. Bless him.
(Minor spoiler)
perfect. xD
I'm not seeing the problem here XD

have you tried downloading from an internet explorer program instead of the desktop client? that worked for me on PC at least.

i still can't download the dlc i'm so confused
Do you remember that we had to download everything again after a new update and then put everything in the game folder?
We basically just have to do it again, but this time it’s easier since you only need to drag the rga file into the game folder.

It worked for me, but who knows with other phones

Finally thanks to you I was able to install the dlc 😭😭Thank you so much you are a lifesaver
Two years waiting for this, im so happy XD
Downloaded on android but can't move the files into my internal storage data folder . Does anyone know how to fix this?
I had to download a file management app to find the files on my Samsung.
what app did you download?
File Manager +
AHHHH I'm literally will start the game again so I can make the wedding more special <3 that and my name, unfortunately, is not present in the name dlc xD IM SOO HYPEE
Does anyone know how to get this to open on android? I can download the file but it won't open.
Edit: I've just realised this file extention is rpa instead of the apk which the other downloads have been, I think this might be the issue.
