Have a problem with my PS4. Have a "parent account" and one who is under 18. Everything is available on the parent account, so I can download DLC from 18 and anything. The problem is, I played the whole game on the account where I'm not 18, but I can't download the DLC because there's an age restriction. Now my question. If I buy the DLC from my parent account, can I also access this DLC with my account under 18? Or do I have to play the whole game again on my parents account and download the DLC there?
You can't transfer the game status directly to the other account. Maybe you can copy the saved game to a USB stick and then reload it on the other account. (Caution: Then the trophies you have earned are gone, you can't transfer them, you can only earn them.) Another solution: You are trying to change your account to an adult account. I would start by changing your date of birth to your real one (because you are of course 18 …). If that doesn't work, check all settings. You may need your ID and enter the codes on the back to verify that you are 18.
Unfortunately, I can't change my age anywhere. And I don't want to transfer the entire game status, I just want to know whether if I buy a DLC it will also be available on the other accounts under 18.
But thank you for your reply!
It does not work like that. That's what the parental controls are there for, so that the children in the household can't play the adults' 18+ games. Not being able to buy means not being able to play either.
But is there a way to change the account under 18 to an account over 18? Or will the account be activated when you are "18" on the account?
When the account "turns 18" with security. But maybe you can change the age earlier. I haven't tried this myself because I stated that I was 18 when I created my account.
Hopefully this will be activated when the account turns "18". Well, otherwise I have to play the whole game again on the other account…
