Hello,
I keep getting an error about orange something is missing. I have been at this for 2 days and still cant get it to work! I followed your instructions but im not sure what i am doing wrong. I even turned off my antivirus. Please if you could, help me.
Hi! Your anti virus removed the file, that’s the problem. You need to check the history/quarantine and if it’s not there, after having the anti virus off do a force recheck on your torrent client, so you download just the missing file again to have your torrent complete again.
Heyy, Please help ;-;
Im currently at [Link Removed, But Tested] where the thing got me to, idk what to do and im really stuck
Hi! You gave me the link to the update version, you are supposed to click on “Open Tixati”, “Open uTorrent” or any other torrent client you already have installed on your computer.
I downloaded the files but, how I can install the game?
You follow the instructions in the topic or video. 😉
Hi, I’m really new to this all, was wondering if there is a step-by-step guide to follow? I have no experience with this stuff, so sorry if I bother
This topic is a step by step and there’s also a video tutorial where I do everything.
I’m using vuze downloader and they said “no source found” do I need to download the old version and a update file?
Hi! I never used Vuze, but I know that Tixati works well to download it.
“Hi! The Portable version DOES have an exe for the game: \The Sims 4 All in One Portable 1.58.69.1010 Discover University + Legacy 1.58.69.1510 [Sim Architect]\2 Program Files\The Sims 4\Game\Bin\TS4_x64.exe
I don’t know what happened to Anadius or his website, sorry. 😢”
I looked there and there wasn’t even a Sims 4 folder for some reason. I will try to redownload this portable version and see if it shows up.
Oh, that sucks :(. Well, I hope he comes back one day. It was always easiest to download his stuff, never had problems with it.
“Oh, and Linkvertise is just a link shortener that helps generating some extra revenue to help with host and other expenses. Sorry, but we are poor people running websites that are a bit expensive to keep. G4TW has people who could afford that before, but right now they really need the revenue to keep the website hosted and running. Same thing here, I even had outages on my website because I could not get a more expensive hosting service (hopefully that will be different next year, we’ll see if I make enough to pay for faster hosting).”
Oh, I see! I tried to use it once, I *think* I was led to the torrent, but the link didn’t look right so the paranoid side of me didn’t want to click on it. I guess I should have more faith. I don’t want to look like a bad guy that doesn’t support you guys, I’d rather support you guys than EA.
Idk how to reply on here aside from making a new comment, so hopefully, my response isn’t too weird.
Hi again! No, your reply is not weird at all, and please always ask when in doubt, just in case, to avoid mistakes!
I try my best to show how to do things in my videos and also in my posts here on the website and I look forward improving things and making new versions of the videos too (they take forever to put together and I have been a bit resource limited lately, gotta use my spoons wisely, as someone living with CFS/Fibromyalgia).
I also use text on my links instead of buttons to minimize the chances of people clicking on ads by mistake, and they’re always pink with ⏬ before and after, so the unusual design I use should make them as clear as possible to help you all, hopefully.
I admit that linkvertise is a bit tricky before you get used to it, then you’ll see exactly where you have to click to avoid being taken somewhere else.
I am not currently using linkvertise on my all in one links most of the time, just when I feel I need a little extra cash, but the updates from G4TW are not mine from me to un monetize them, so I keep their linkvertise intact (and they REALLY REALLY REALLY need this revenue, so I support them on their choice because they did not have an alternative for that, I am lucky enough to run some ads on my website that pollute things a bit but make it possible for me to use LinkVertise only when necessary).
You can also support the website at no cost by using my safe link encoder on the menu above or here: Link Encoder
That tool hashes any link you might want to share, then the link you get from it will redirect the person to my website before they can go forward to their final destination. I get a couple of ad impressions in the process, of course, and people also see my website 😉
The content I share is always free (unless stated very clearly otherwise as a paid product) and meant for people who want to play with their owned game free of being tracked/restricted by Denuvo and other technologies, besides being able to take their files everywhere. Of course I have no control on how the repacks are used, but I hope for the best judgment of people who download it.
Is Anadius going to repack University soon? I tried using the portable version, but there was no .exe of the game to be found (I opened my current Sims 4 .exe and there was no update to be had). I trust Anadius the most because I don’t really trust Linkvertise or whatever it is that G4TW does.
Hi! The Portable version DOES have an exe for the game:
\The Sims 4 All in One Portable 1.58.69.1010 Discover University + Legacy 1.58.69.1510 [Sim Architect]\2 Program Files\The Sims 4\Game\Bin\TS4_x64.exe
I don’t know what happened to Anadius or his website, sorry. 😢

Hi! Huge Hug for you taking the time and effort to provide programs and support for those of us to continue playing the sims. I have a 64 bit operating system, win 10, Intel Core i7-7700. I keep seeing 32 bit mentioned on this article.
Is this “All in One” for 64bit also? Is it possible to run from an external hdd or another internal hd other than hd that windows is installed on?
Hi! Yes, my all in one repacks always have the 64 Bit versions and the ones with Legacy 32 also have it included. I am not sure we’ll see more of the 32 in the future, depending on what EA does with it (they say they won’t update it, but they did release this patch for it, so we’ll find out soon enough).
Yes, it’s totally possible to run from another drive, no worries, just create the folder on a different drive but same location (if possible) and it will just have a different drive letter.
The game should work from any folder, though, as long as the structure of the sub-folders is maintained.
do i need to have the base game for download this or does this patch include the base game?
The one you’re commenting on is an All in One, meaning it has everything, base game, all expansions etc.
It even has the Visual C# runtime libraries you might need. Just follow the instructions and have fun 😉
How do I add CC and mods to the game?
Same way you would with any version of the game, including Origin and Steam ones. You’ll install it in your mods folder inside your Documents. You can’t access the on line gallery though, you need to get your files in some other way (The Open Gallery is temporarily not working).
Also, if i’ve purchased the base game, seasons, get to work, parenthood, and bowling night stuff can i choose to not download those?
The ones from Origin should stay on a separate folder, so you do need to download everything from scratch.
Now, what you can do to “reuse” the files you have is starting your download, stopping it on your torrent client, then you overwrite the files being downloaded with a COPY of the ones from EA, then you “force recheck” the files from within your torrent client and like magic they’ll show as downloaded already, then you’ll only get the very specific files you need 😉
But not if you’re on a Mac OS, this release is made for Windows only, sorry.
Hi there, is this for mac also? :))
Sadly it isn’t. You’d need a Windows Emulator.
Hello, I want to thank you for all that you do!
I do have a question regarding this download. I downloaded the non-legacy one, The Sims 4 All in One Portable + Discover University 1.58.63.101. I saw that EA sent a patch out on the 25th. So I went to the page to see if it has been updated with that patch and the page said it was outdated and to use this legacy version. Is there a way to keep the one I have now (non-legacy) and be able to update it with this download? Is that possible and, if so, how would I do that?
KattzKlawzz
Yes! Totally! The Legacy release was for people who did not have it yet.
You should use this one to update your game:
The Sims 4 Discover University November 25th Patch 1.58.69.1010 Update Only G4TW
Hello! I just finished downloading the “The Sims 4 All in One Portable 1.58.63.1010 Discover University” and then I get a twitter notif for the 1.58.69.1510 update 🙁 Please tell me I don’t need to redownload everything and that I can just download the updates/patches in the 1.58.69.1510 torrent…
Hi! There’s an update only available right now! 😇
The Sims 4 Discover University November 25th Patch 1.58.69.1010 Update Only G4TW
You’re probably tired of me commenting but what if you don’t need the legacy edition? Do I download this anyway?
Yes, you do! No worry, comment as much as you want 😉
Since my torrent is open, in the sense it’s not packed inside a zip/rar/exe file, you can skip the files inside the folders below, if you don’t want/need the Legacy Edition:
"\2 Program Files\The Sims 4\Delta_LE"
"\2 Program Files\The Sims 4\Game\Bin_LE"
I am having the same issue with downloading the update for university. The link is not showing up for me. Everything I click on takes me to a different website or wants me to install other things on my computer. Can you maybe link the article we are supposed to be reading?
Sorry to hear that. The download link in further ahead in the article (not on the first page) and it is always text based with two emoji, so it’s easier to distinguish from ads. The link should be pink and look like this, with big letters: ⏬DOWNLOAD HERE⏬
Hi! I am so excited I found your website. I know this is probably a stupid question but where is the download link? I thought maybe it was under the picture and that I had to download it for the hyperlink to show up but I’m logged in and i’m still not seeing it on this page. Trying to download the 64 Bit version.
Hi! You need to read the article, which has multiple pages, and the link will be in large upper case pink text and be like this: ⏬ DOWNLOAD HERE ⏬
hello! first of all, thank you so much for the time and effort u spend to help us play the game, you’re a life saver! i just have a bit of a question regarding the legacy edition + discover university portable download ;; i was able to run the game but noticed that i didn’t have the discover university pack (RoM is the latest one), so i checked the dlc toggler to see if the DU pack was unchecked but it wasn’t 😮 tried to run the game again but i still couldn’t see DU. would installing this patch fix the problem? thank you so much! <333
Discover University is only available for the 64 Bit version. Maybe you’re trying to run LE (Legacy 32 Bit)?
