I actually completely removed the EA folder before trying to open it, just in case. Is there anything else that could be causing this?
Please install this one from scratch: The Sims 4 Tiny Living All in One Portable
There are instructions in the topic and also a video showing how to do it step by step. Keep me posted.
It worked!! thank you so so much!!! : D
Awesome! You are so welcome! π₯°
Hello, first of all thank you so much for this. But i have to say i am completly lost on what to do i cant follow the instructions on the post. I downloaded the torrent, i excluded the c visual and etc only kept the program files and the tools file, was that my mistake? I would like to understand better on how to install it.
Thank you for your help in advance
Hi! The post where you left this comment is outdated, there's a new version from January and there's also a new All in One coming tonight with Tiny Living that is totally worth waiting for π
Goodness, it took me a long time to figure out how to get to this page. However, I want to thank you for putting such hard work into all of this. I'm in the mists of waiting for it to queue up and download.
Hi! Glad you're happy, but you're downloading a previous version, there's a newer All in One in the link below.
The Sims 4 1.60.54.1020 All in One Portable
Hi, i have firewall off n torrents excluded, forced start, clear peers, ie tried everything, but this file stays on Connecting to peers, tho ur other files are downloading ? Could u help?
The other files go through the articles link while this pack went directly to torrent, content was not loading so i just clicked start...
Weird, because if you have the torrent on your torrent client it should work. Which torrent client are you using? I hear that sometimes uTorrent and a few others have issues, so I use Tixati since about a year ago because of that and it seems that using it helps other people as well. I see your ip on the client list though, I even gave you priority right now, it seems you just started downloading yay!
Hi again!
So I finally got it to download properly, but now when i attempt to open the game, gives me the following error message
"Cannot start because required data is missing or damaged. Please repair or reinstall the game from origin."
What did I do wrong?
Rename the folder
Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4
temporarily to something else and try to run the game again. If it works you will need to look for something wrong in it. The saved games will be in the renamed folder, as your CC etc.hi it's me again turns out i just couldn't find the TS4_x64.exe but upon searching the folder it's there and the game seems to work just fine. thank you for the help!!
That sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing your result with us!
hey, so i downloaded the most current all in one portable with Tixati but can't get it to run. Followed all of the posted instructions to be best of my knowledge. Checked another post from someone having possible C++ issues but I have all the same ones as you showed in the picture. Any idea how I can get the game to work? I'm out of ideas (and patience for the process haha)
Also, I made a skill share account with your link but I can't find the videos??
Hi! I didn't upload videos to skill share yet, that's something that I still need to set up. Yesterday my Dailymotion account was taken down, so I will end up uploading my videos there eventually.
I wonder what kind of Visual C++ issue you might be having, did you install the 2015 and 2013 ones?
Hi I have everything done and I open the game and everything shows up but the screen is all static like making it not possible to play... everything is all done and all the packs show up fine. loads fine
Hum. Play in windowed mode and also turn vsync on. Update your graphic card drivers.
Hi!
Is this able to be done on a mac?
As far as I know you can do that with a Windows Emulator only, then yes.
Hi, I'm new here, sorry, but I can't figure out how to download the newest all in one pack with University and updates? Can I get a link to it or something? Been looking for an hour now!!
Sorry to hear that. The link should be on page 8 or something like that, if I am not mistaken, but you should read all the information and instructions until you get there to avoid mistakes installing (that's why the link isn't on the first page).
The download link is always on large pink font and it usually looks like this: β¬ DOWNLOAD HERE β¬
Hi sorry to bother you AGAIN. but im the one with the runtime libraries problem. where the 2015 gets deleted and replaced by the 2017.
The game wont run. ive done EVERYTHING
Hello! It is weird that you say the game won't run because of it. The same thing happened on my computer (screenshot below showing all the 23 Visual C++ Libraries I have currently installed) and the game runs normally. The 64 bit version of the game is made for 64 bit windows. If you are running Windows 32 you can only play with the Legacy Edition of the game, which is stuck before University (therefore without it)
hi! first of all i want to thank you so much, you've been a life saver. i have one question though, i recently download island living all in one from here. should i download this latest pack if i want realm of magic, university etc. or can i just update?
Hi. It's better that you install this All in One where you commented on, you're correct, or you can wait a couple of days and download The Sims 4 Tiny Living All in One Portable which will also include Tiny Living and the new patch.
Thank you, thank you! I managed to only uninstall university, now my game works faster! Thank you for everything!!!!!
Awesome! And new Tiny Living coming soon! You might be able to install it then disable/uninstall only University and/or anything else you don't want.
It works normally without them and I removed mods i know im not using. I put them back just to see if anything changed but I just got the error message again.
There you go. The problem is with one or more of your mods being incompatible with University.
It all worked great and I still have all my mods and sims and stuff so thats good but when i actually try to play it takes a bit to load and then i get the error message "The game failed to load. Error Code: 102:592464b:8daad152. It is recommended that you relaunch the game." and I did but the same thing just happened again. I have a backup from before i updated the game just in case thats important to my problem but i dont know what to do?
Try to run the game without any mods or CC for a test. Let me know how it goes.
So I have install all the runtime libraries and i didnt have a problem the first time. But i realized that the 2015 one kept getting deleted and replaced with the 2017 one. I dont know how to fix this. or what i did wrong. I installed them in order but as soon as i do the 2017 one my 2015 ones get deleted
Does the game run after all?
Hi! Sorry to bother you again, I tried the dlc toggle but did not work. I unticked university, closed the toggler, opened again to make sure it would stay unticked, but it was still enabled. I tried leaving the toggler opened while opening the game but university is still on my game. How do I uninstall and install without university if its a portable version that needs no installing? Thank you!
You can use the DLC Uninstaller tool to uninstall Discover University instead of disabling it. Maybe it works better?
I have been downloading the all in one not just the update. it worked before but now it isnt
Hi, please check your shortcut, it needs to be pointed to the 64 bits executable.
