The Sims 4 Update 1.53.115.1020 - Patch Notes
What’s New?
Create a Sim Stories
Is your Simming stuck in a creative rut? Try crafting a story within Create a Sim! By starting a new household, or adding a Sim to an existing household, you can take a fun quiz to determine your Sims personality and starting conditions. By creating a story your Sims will end up starting out with a career, various skills, and different levels of starting household funds! Of course, this is just an additional option that’s now available -- you’ll still be able to also create Sims the same way you always have.
Look
The Sims 4 has a new look! Now that we’re entering the fifth year of The Sims 4, and the twentieth year of The Sims, we wanted to continue to invest in The Sims 4 so that it remains fresh and relevant for years to come. You’ll quickly spot changes like a brand new cast of Sims, new intro videos, new loading screens, new cover art, and new pack icons. The main menu has received the most significant additions; not only does it show off our new style, but you’ll discover the ability to play trailers from our most recent packs, and access quick links to The Sims on your favorite social platforms.
New Customization Options
Our new cast of Sims has some fresh new clothing and accessories to wear, and you’ll find all of their new content within Create a Sim. Check out their group shot by clicking through the art on the main menu! The base game has received new tops, bottoms, accessories, hairstyles, and a hat. Players who own certain packs will receive new swatches on some of the clothing and accessories they already own from those packs.
New Cheat
We’ve added a new cheat to the game! Open the cheat console and type in "bb.showliveeditobjects" to enable the cheat. To disable it, type "bb.showliveeditobjects false".
Enabling the cheat will unlock a new set of objects in Build Mode to decorate your lots with… rocks, trees, bushes, signs, and all sorts of environment objects. I lost count, but I think it’s somewhere around twelve-hundred new decorative objects. These objects are environment objects, which our artists use when creating worlds. As such they are not optimized for on lot use, so please be aware when using this cheat. The most obvious issue you may notice is that Sims will walk through these objects.
I have a problem you have already written about - well, after adding that appropriate path to the list of exceptions for the antivirus program, this is still happening and still (it appears that Origin is already in operation). My reaction is to enter the task manager and disable the working The Sims 4 application (after starting it clears itself).
It will survive, because there is some advice for that. A more serious problem is the error:
'Startup impossible.
The Sims 4 cannot be started with the graphics card on this system. Make sure your graphics card meets the minimum requirements and the latest video drivers are installed. '
A clear message, but the question remains -
why did The Sims 4 work normally before and now it suddenly has problems with it? I have several DLCs, the stand was holding well, and now...
I don't know what happens. Try the tutorial below to test if your game runs from a clean state:
The Sims 4 Modpocalypse Lifestyle
I don't have any mods installed...
Even though you don't have mods, please try The Sims 4 Modpocalypse Lifestyle Tutorial
If it doesn't work, please follow the advice found HERE
You can also try The Sims 4 Validator then post the results as a reply to this comment.
Let me know how it turns out 😇
There was still no sign that it would work, so I decided to fix the game in Origin. Then it was okay, although there were no new DLCs. That's why I decided to just reinstall your 'version'. This time I installed the whole game - with the base and everything works as it should. It is still unknown where the error was sitting,
but it's important that it works. Thank you <3
Awesome! I am very happy to hear all is well now 😇
Hi! I have a question!
I have everything updated until 1.58.63.1010. If I just want to update up to the most recent update(on your site, that's 1.53.115.1020), do I need to download every update in between or can I just download the most recent?
Usually, I just give up and uninstall the entire game to reinstall the updated version, but if there's an easier way, I'll be so happy.
Thank you!
Hi! The latest version is The Sims 4 All in One Portable 1.62.67.1020 – April 2020 – Hellos and Bug Fixes and you should start from scratch with it since your current version is a bit too old.
Alternatively there's The Sims 4 All in One Automatic which is maintained and kept up to date by myself and your files are synchronized as I update them through Yandex Disk's App.
Hi @anadius a friend downloaded it for me and I am installing through her hard drive. It's been 4 hours already and my installation is stuck at 14% component and 27% total. I can't copy-paste the files to my laptop because it will eat up my space so I am downloading through hard drive only. Is it normal for it to be this slow or should I do something?
This is a very old version, you should be downloading The Sims 4 All in One Automatic or The Sims 4 All in One Portable 1.62.67.1020 – April 2020 – Hellos and Bug Fixes instead.
You can use a hard drive, it's just slower to play than an SSD.
This was what unfortunately my friend downloaded for me. I am installing the game in my SSD but the installer is in an external hard drive.
Weird thing I just saw this without a reply! My back end must be crazy (or myself 🤪).
Did you fix it?
hi! i had a question, ive already installed the pack in the past but i couldnt fix the origin patch after i downloaded island living from a separate pack, i uninstalled and reinstalled my sims 4 game from origin since i had already boight it and had it in my library before, i want to install the dlcs and have origin as well for the gallery, is there any way i can do that? how do i use the origin patch? and how can i uninstall your setup if something goes wrong again?
The version you're commenting on is very old, use The Sims 4 All in One Portable 1.62.67.1020 – April 2020 – Hellos and Bug Fixes instead.
Hey, I was hoping someone could help me with an error I keep getting....
I have the base game installed in origin and when going to install with the 'ts4-origin-dlc-installer.exe' I get the following error: 'Could not detect game version. Repair in origin." I've tried repairing the base game through origin, and the downloaded dlc's are all the same version of the game (1.61.15.1020). Ive even checked for corrupt files but everything's ok....
I'm on a macbook air with a 64 bit version of the game running in origin if thats any use...
I'm stumped 🙁
Thanks in advance!
Hi! This is for Windows, not for Macs. You can play the game on Macs if you use a Windows Emulator, though, but not straight up.
Now, the item you're commenting on is very old and outdated, you should be using The Sims 4 Free Anniversary All in One Portable 1.61.15.1020 instead.
darn macs! that explains a lot..... thanks for your help :):)
Yes! But you can use a windows emulator.
soooo i'm getting this error message when i start the game in which it says that i don't have a "MSVCP120.dll" file.
what do i need to do?
You need to install Visual C ++ 2013 Runtime Libraries.
Hey Sim Architect, since the new update 1.54.120.1020, all the packs that installed for the 1.53 version have all gone... Would I have to download the 1.54 version when it's available??
It's being worked on. The link will be available as soon as it's ready.
Hello. I've problem with instalation, because when I clicked "the setup", it's shows what language I want to use and after that error comes out "(place where I download files) contains non-latin character. Move instaler to path with basic latin characters only". What should I do ?
Your folders need to have only American English (A to Z, no accents) characters. If it's not the case, you need to install the game from and to somewhere else, sorry.
So I have to change language in my computer from mine to American English
?
No, just the folders where you install the game from and to have to only have American Characters.
Ok, I solve the problem and instal game with no errors, thanks 🙂
Awesome!
Hi, I have the same problem, can you explain to me how did you fix it? Thanks so much.
Using a folder with basic american characters for both source and destination of your installation.
I figured out how to fix the non-latin caracters problem. You need to completely move the "The Sims 4 Repack Anadius" folder to another place on your hard drive. In my case, I moved the folder directly to the location "windows (c :)", and after trying again to run the "setup" application, it worked normally and started the installation. Greetings from Brazil and good luck!
Awesome!!! I did not know that Brazilian characters were considered as "non latin", funny. I am also from there originally. Happy simming!!!
Hey, is the update v1.54 coming soon? It's been a couple of days and usually we get the crack from someone on the same day that the update releases or the day after, so I thought it was strange that it hasn't come out yet. I have the basegame from origin so I can't play until we get the crack.
Yes. The expansion pack was not released yet, they're not making off line patches for updates only.You should be able to play with some tweaks to your documents folder (and also having the two versions of the game installed in separate folders).
Hey. When I try to install it, I get the error message: " no-origin-fix - 1.54.120.1020.rar not found. Download it and put next to installer."
Anybody know how to deal with that? Thanks in advance 🙂
1.54 or 1.53? Are you trying to install the 1.54 version already?
That's what the error message says. 1.54. I just downloaded all the links and put them in the folder. When I try to run setup, this is the message I get. Clearly I don't know what I'm doing 😀
It is ok. Please wait for the 1.54 version to be released, then it will likely solve your problem then. I think this is somewhat related to your Origin version of the game.
Okay, will do. Thank you for replying 🙂
Awesome! Sorry I took a bit long, I usually get an email and reply here right away, but I did not see it. Have a great weekend!
Hi, I have an issue when im trying to install some dlc's since at first i only installed the base game, but the installation process won't pass from 0.2%, what can i do?
Hi. Do you get an error message of any kind? Do you have administrative privileges on your computer? Did you exclude the folder where you downloaded the entire torrent and the one where you are installing the game into from your anti virus real time protection?
