Steam – How to force Steam to download DLC

steam

I just bought some DLC for Train Simulator, but after completing the purchase I skipped to another page without starting the download.

Now the DLC shows up in my list of DLC as "not installed" (in Dutch, so I don't know what the exact English wording is), even though "install" is checked.

Unchecking and rechecking "install" didn't do it either.

How do I get Steam to download and install it?

Right click on the game you're after to open properties, click on the "Local Files" tab, click on "Verify Integrity of Game Files" let it do its thing. Once complete if should say it's missing some files (your DLC) and it'll go off and download them.
