The Sims 4 Update 04/07/2020
Hellos and Bug Fixes
New Features
Sadly, it seems this update only patches a few things without adding any new feature (I'll update this post if I find any other information).
FIXES AND UPDATES
The Sims 4
- Improved compatibility with newer macOS releases, refer to FAQ for more details HERE (Official EA Page)
- Made some small visual and functional improvements to the Main Menu.
- Custom paintings on nearby lots that are taken a picture of from your active lot will now properly flag your lot as custom content when uploading it to the Gallery.
- So sneaky!
- We addressed an issue resulting in a “Conflicting Block Cluster” error message that could occur while building, preventing you from being able to draw or move walls.
- Non-active traited Sims will no longer get the “Not Enough Exercise" tense moodlet.
- Stair railings will no longer appear incomplete when placed against a half-wall.
- Whims are once again able to be completed after Travel.
- Whims are things your Sims want to do, but you don’t have to.
- You can now safely raise or lower the foundation of The Nookstone lot in Oasis Springs - walls, floors, and furniture will no longer disappear.
- The Tutorial will no longer lock if your Sim is promoted before you are given the "You Need to Gain Skill to be Promoted" task.
Get Together
- Fixed a graphic issue that could occur on Mac with some Intel graphics cards that caused plants in Windenburg to appear blocky when in Laptop Mode.
- So if you are on a Mac, with an intel graphics card, and you are in laptop mode, and you are playing in Windenburg… we got you covered.
City Living
- Bulldozing 888 Spire Apartment lots should no longer result in error code 123:28b6ee3b.
- We hope it does not result in error code: 123:456789abcde
- We are fairly certain it should not result in error code: 8675-309
- And under no circumstance should error code 42 occur.
- We are fairly certain it should not result in error code: 8675-309
- We hope it does not result in error code: 123:456789abcde
Cats & Dogs
- The male veterinarian coat now has a properly visible ID badge.
Seasons
- Sims should no longer get the "Chilled" buff when the thermostat is set to warmer.
- Unless you have a heater that turns on and off repeatedly due to a bad switch in the system, and then when it decides to fail completely, it just ignores input for about 3 hours, and then when you wake up in the morning you have to carry a heavy blanket with you… ah hm… nm.
Get Famous
- Actor prep tasks will no longer reset on traveling.
- This is the second travel issue in the game… was it trying to tell us something?
Island Living
- Beaches are available for weddings.
Discover University
- Sims living in dorms should no longer receive high bills to live there.
Spa Day
- The "Take bath with Soaks" and "Take Mud Bath" interactions are once again, once again available on Showertubs.
- This time we won’t have to remove the fix because of… crosses fingers.
Jungle Adventure
- Child sims will no longer get a flirty buff after eating Flutterberry.
Realm of Magic
- Magical Clones will no longer become permanent Sims after traveling.
- Sims can once again resume writing books when their familiars are active.
Tiny Living Stuff
- Tiny Home Residential lots added to vacation worlds via The Gallery will now properly convert into rental lots.
Hi, I was just wondering if you had a file for the new update with eco living and everything after that? If so could you let me know how to install it all. Thank you 🙂 x
Yes! The latest version available is always included in The Sims 4 All in One Automatic
I am getting an error with orangeemu64.dll the game ran fine 2 days ago
Anti virus history/quarantine will likely show a couple of files blocked/removed/quarantined from within your game's folder. You need to allow/restore them.
I looked through my av did not see any files blocked or quarantined
Hello. Thanks a lot for providing us with this portable version. But I can't run Sims 4. It says: Unable to start: Cannot start because required game data is missing or damaged. Please repair or reinstall the game via Origin [85262c58:29f00e76:00000000:00000000]
Please help me I haven't play the Sims 4 in such a long time.
You're likely missing files.
I was wondering is everything on this website for PC only (i.e. not Mac users)? I noticed in this post you include Mac patch updates, but no instructions on how to run on Mac (have I missed something)
Yes, Windows Only. To run it on a Mac you need a Windows Emulator or a Windows Wrapper.
Sadly I don't own a Mac and I am clueless on how to operate one. I will eventually try to install Mac OS on an old PC I have, but I am not even sure it's going to work at all. Not sure if and when I will be able to do that, though.
Okay thank you for your speedy reply! I hope soon that you can try this out, otherwise keep up the good work on the PC version ☺️
Thank you! Yes, it will take me a while, right now I am looking for a better cloud service for The Sims 4 Automatic and also finding ways to invite people faster when they subscribe.
I also have plans to release a repack for The Sims 3.
Hello, thanks a lot for this. I do have a question though. Is it possible to install this on the D drive instead of C?
Yes, any drive you wish to use, you can even install and play from an external USB drive if you want 😉
Hello, when I try to open the game it opens a message saying "Do you allow this app from a unknown publisher to make changes to your device?", I click yes and nothing happens... I'm on Windows 10. I didn't see anywhere that I had to install Origin before to unlock the game or after, so I did it after (maybe it was to late?). I'm really tired... It's been 3 days i'm trying 5 different cracks, this one took 16 hours to install, and it doesn't work at the last moment. Could you please help me?
You need to use an account with administrative privileges. You need to handle your anti virus before hand. The message you mention sounds like a User Access Control thing. Funny that even if you authorize it's not working, maybe you don't have enough privileges on your system? Can you run the game as administrator?
Oh, and you do NOT need Origin or internet access in the computer you're playing on.
having issue where origin is still picking up the game(even if taskmanagered) and the dlc and is considering it corrupt any help
Hi! Check your anti virus quarantine / history.
what exactly do i need to change
What do you mean?
You made my day! It worked incredibly well. no errors, and got it right on the first attempt.It's so hard to find one without virus.Tysm xoxo 🙂
You are very welcome! Thanks for your kind words!
Can I install this on a Mac using a Wineskin wrapper from G4TW? If so, how do I do that? Unfortunately they shut down their forum so I can't ask them for help.
Thanks!
Hi! You should be able to, but I don't know how to use MacOS, sadly. I really wish I did. Please share your experience when you make it work. You should be able to make it work by using most kinds of Windows Emulators or wrappers, so I guess it's a yes? If the G4TW version works with a wrapper this one should work as well.
If you find a way to make it work nicely maybe you can even (co)write a post here if you wish 🙂
Hi! I registered just to tell you how grateful I am for your efforts. Thank you, all works properly. Sending greetings from Poland!
Aw... Thank you so much for your kind words! I am very happy to hear you're having a good time with your game! 😇
Hi, what do I do if I just want to download certain DLCs and the update only? I hope you reply back as soon as possibly. Thanks!! xx
I guess you de-select the corresponding folder on Tixati to not download them, then you use the DLC toggler (included) to disable them.
hi! i know i should've asked this before downloading this but, is this compatible with mac? if it is, what are the instructions for the download?
Hi! You need to use a Windows Emulator or wrapper to run it. I don't own a mac, so I have no idea how to make it work, but I know that's what people do and it works that way 😇
hello I'm so sorry to disturb you in any way I just have a complain I had to re-download the all in one (the latest) for the sims and every time I try and open the app it shows me this *id give a screenshot but the website doesn't allow me to* I do not have origin on my laptop and I have no other applications running could you help me? I also removed everything from the original the sims 4 folder in my program files and replaced it with the new files from the download
This sounds like an anti virus problem (Windows Defender etc). Your anti virus is removing the modded files, you need to restore/allow them on Windows Defender and any other security software you might have installed on your computer.
i dont have anything other than windows defender and i don't really know how to restore/allow the files on it if you could explain in a reply i would be very grateful <3
You need to open Windows Defender and check for its history. Then you'll be able to see the options restore or allow for each item, you need to choose amongst the ones that are in the game folders.
I just tried it, it wasn't anywhere in windows defender firewall or windows security where google tells me I really don't know what to do
I don't know either then, sorry. Please see what you can do, check if you're missing files, you should have the files listed below inside your Game/Bin folder (EAWebKit_x64 is optional):
i just checked everything is inside the folders but the message still shows up (i also deleted bluestacks so it wasnt anything to do with it)
Interesting. Try to restart the computer, right click TS4_x64 then "Run as Administrator"
hello! i just had to re download this version and it keeps giving me an error saying the sims 4 is already opened even if i restart mz laptop i don't know what to do please help me
Check your anti virus history and quarantine.
Check your task manager for origin.exe or ts4_x64.exe running in the background BEFORE you try to run the game.
nothing connected to origin/ts4 was running in the background and also I forgot to mention this happened yesterday after I installed bluestacks maybe it has to do with it?
I don't know, I guess not, but I can't be 100% sure sorry.
Hi! I'm having trouble with Visual C++ 2015. I installed the 2013 and 2017 correctly, but when I try installing the 2015 one the system tells me there's another version alrealdy installed. When I tried installing it the first time I realised there was another 2015 version installed, so I uninstalled it and tried again. However, the same message appeared. Help! Thanks!
Hi! So, you finished uninstalling it and you can't reinstall it? Try to play the game and see if it runs, you might be ok after all.
Hello! I paid for the premium access (📧 through paypal) but its saying i need to pay for it again? Please help as i want to download but dont want to pay another 5$cad
Okay, I see you just need to upgrade my account from your side! Please do so as I have paid! I shared my paypal email so you know its me! My legal name on it is 📧.
I did it already, I am waiting for your yandex user name. Tutorial here: https://thesimarchitect.com/the-sims-4-all-in-one-automatic/
Hi! What happened is that you used different information here and on your PayPal and maybe something did not work properly. Also, my automated system sent you a long email with instructions, did you receive it?
I upgraded your account here, now I just need your Yandex username to be able to send your invitation.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
I also speak Portuguese if convenient for you.
I can not install cc and can’t even find the folder to put cc in- I followed the videos instructions
Once you play for the first time the game will create folders inside
Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4I played the game and a i saved it and everything and looked for the folder again and it still want not there I looked in documents electronic arts
Weird, you should have a folder The Sims 4 inside your Electronic Arts folder that's inside your Documents (you need to be using the same windows user, of course, since each user has its own documents folder). The name of the folder may be different depending on the language, though (Die Sims 4, Les Sims 4 etc).
So weirdly the file for it was in a different user which is weird because I installed it in mine and I’m 100% sure he wouldn’t play the sims 4 but thank you for your help.
It happens. Glad you found your files!
Can you use the base game from origin and just install the DLCs and somehow connect them
You don't need to, you can keep both on separate folders, hence why you always install my All in One repacks on
C:\Program Files\The Sims 4unless you have a reason to install it somewhere else or if you're using The Sims 4 All in One AutomaticHello, I don't understand what "stalling" means when I'm torrenting it, does that mean it isn't working?
Hi! I never saw "stalling" either! Weird! Are you using Tixati?
I'm using qbittorrent! Is there something else I should use?
Yes, Tixati is better.
Now, that's assuming you can download torrents on your internet, otherwise you need to use The Sims 4 All in One Automatic
Thank you for this, by the way, you're doing a wonderful service
Thanks!
