How to Download and Install
The video above was created for a previous release, but the procedure is exactly the same (you don't need to repeat whatever you already did previously, if you already use ZLOrigin, just need to restart your computer and run their tool again).
Instructions (From Video Above)
Even though this method of delivery is not my favorite, it does not require the use of torrents, meaning that, besides having the game up to date semi automatically, you will also face less problems with your Internet Service Provider.
- First, you need to create an account with ZLOEmu, so you can log in to their virtual servers, which replace the Origin ones. To do that, you will visit ZLOEmu. If you already have an account there, jump to Step 5.
- Now that you're taken to the ZLOEmu Website, click on "Register", then fill up the form that is presented to you (I always advise you to use a free disposable email service like SpamGourmet for these occasions ๐):
- They will email you an activation link (hence why you need to use a real email address or a disposable one that will forward to your real mailbox), just click on the link and you will see a message from ZLOEmu's Website saying that your account was activated successfully.
- Now, you need to download the official Microsoft's Visual C++ 2013 Libraries in both versions, 32 and 64 Bits [vcredist_x86.exe and vcredist_x64.exe, respectively], then install them. If you already have them installed you can just close the installer's dialog you might get telling you already have it, then move to the next step.
My famous sims keep "reacting in disgust" to their pets, spouse's, friends, family, basically everyone and everything. Is there some way to fix this?
Wow! Maybe a Mod is breaking things?
Oh, and there's a newer version than the one you're commenting on! The Sims 4 Free Anniversary All in One Portable 1.61.15.1020
So, maybe I'm just not looking hard enough but I haven't found an actual download link?
Hi! I just released the new The Sims 4 1.60.54.1020 All in One Portable
Enjoy!
Hopefully, I am not too late! Yes, you can change the name from "CODEX" (assuming you made a typo and wrote "CODEC" instead of "CODEX").
Go to your "bin" folder located in your "This PC > Windows(C:) > Program Files x86 > The Sims 4 > Game > Bin"
There must be a file called "codex.cfg". It is a configuration file.
Drag it out of your "bin" folder to your desktop (sometimes it won't let you save the file if it is still in your bin folder).
Open it with Notepad or another text editing program similar to Notepad.
There will be a huge text art on the top, spelling Codex.
Underneath, there will be a section called "Profile".
"Persona" should be named "CODEX" in your file. Change the name to anything you want.
I also change the last digits of "PersonaId" and "UserId" for good measure, but I doubt it is necessary.
Then save the file and drag it back into your bin folder.
DO NOT RENAME THE FILE!
Now you are good to go!! (๏พยดใฎยด)๏พ*: ๏ฝฅ๏พ
Things to note: This only modifies the in-game name. You cannot log into a profile other than Codex, and cannot change the profile picture etc. However, all your creations will be listed underneath your new name.
๐ฅฐ OMG! Thank you SO much for teaching us that! I had no idea it was possible! ๐น
Hi! First of all thank you very much for all of your updates and all!!
I use this version of the game because I find it very easy and helpful to download the game updates straight from Origin.
the only problem i have is that i cant connect to the in game gallery... is it not possible with this version or im doing something wrong?
thanks!
You did nothing wrong. It's not possible to connect to the gallery, sorry.
Hi, I downloaded the all in one version, and I wanted to share my houses with friends, with tray importer, but when I do this, my tray files say that the creator its called CODEC, whats that? can I change somewhere the imformation so that it stop saying that? I understand I dont have origin nor an ea account, but is there any way I can change this info for when I share tray files? thank you!!!!
No, it will always say that, sorry.
If i download usually with the all in one portable, do I have to change to doing it this way? Or should I wait until the all in one portable version is available?
Thank you for all your hard work, you're truly amazing!
I would wait for sure. The All in One Portable is truly off line and I like it way better. I only share the ZLOrigin because they are nice and they always release updates before anybody else, but their system requires you to connect to their servers to play, which I feel is a down side. Plus they don't have Tiny Living yet anyway, it's just the patch, which only fixes a few things and won't add much stuff anyway.
