How can I find out my DLCs are installed?
So, I bought the game and all the dlcs together without having a first time launch or sth like that. They were all added and installed together. Is there any way I can understand which dlcs are added (like an in-game dlc selection menu, or somewhere to look at)

The game always uses the loading screen of the newest pack (by release date) you have installed. Since Into the Future was the last pack released, you'd always see that screen if you had the pack installed. But you can use a mod to mix it up:

Yes, exactly like that. You'll notice that the only dimmed-out pack icon is the pink one a little right of center. That's for Katy Perry Sweet Treats, which Steam has never sold and Origin doesn't sell anymore either.
