Hello! I was wondering if this version is also available for macOS. I'm currently running macOS Sierra - Version 10.12.6. I've already downloaded it but I don't know how to get it to work. I have already turned off Origin, but besides that, I don't know what else to do. Thank you!
Hi! It's made for Windows. You need a Windows emulator to run it on macs.
Oh, ok... Thank you very much!
Hi, sorry I'm a noob with this, I have the origin base game and I have downloaded the Anadius Repace DLCs but the patch is 1.52.100.1020. Do I need to download the All in one and start from scratch or is there just an update I can download? Thanks!
Yes, better to start new with 1.62 you're like 10 versions behind already.
Thanks π I got it working. However I'm wondering if there's a problem with my download. My sims don't follow commands or take initiative to do anything. Is this something you guys have seen before?
The symptoms you describe are usually related to mods that might not be up to date or broken.
Also, check your setting in the game menu, there's an autonomy setting somewhere that perhaps you have turned off?
Thanks, I don't have any mods. I checked and autonomy is set to full. Not too sure what could be happening
Sorry to hear that. I don't know what could be wrong either π’
hello!
all is fine and the download went well, but when i try to run the game it says "the code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP120.dll was not found. reinstalling the program may fix this problem." - whats up with that?
You need to install Visual C# Runtime Libraries (included).
ah thanks so much! π
You're very welcome. Did it work?
Excuse me, can i ask why my spellcaster doesn't have face (just teeth tho) ? how can i fix my game π thank you.
Ouch! That sounds creepy! Are you using Mods or CC?
Yes, i have mods and CC, so what can i do to fix this ??
You need to find which mod or CC is broken or needs updating.
Okay, so i just need to find the broken CC/mod and delete/update them right? it doesn't broke the game? btw thanks for the fast respons <3
Well, we never know what happens to your saves that use mods and CC once you remove them...
Hopefully all will be well after you find the culprit. I hope you can find updated versions that work well.
Everytime I play I get kicked out of the game? Help??
Check your mods / CC.
Yep! Youβre totally right, thanks for the fast reply. Now I need to raid my whole mods folder π
Awesome! I wish you can find the culprit!
everytime i try to click the download button it leads me to an "about:blank" page. without the download or anything, just a blank page, can someone help?
Hi. Yes, that's the expected result, your browser should ask you if you want to open the magnet with your torrent client when you get the blank page or, if it's set up to do it automatically, your torrent client should start downloading.
If you don't have a torrent client I recommend using Tixati, since uTorrent has been known for breaking large torrents since a couple of years ago, sadly (sometimes it works, I just stopped trusting it).
My Yandex invite is not valid ? the Folder has vanished from my Yandex also
Hi! I need to reinvite you. What is your Yandex username?
Do i really need this entire dowload of 48GB when i already have all the games installed? I just got all the games installed and now i can axcess all the EP and SP. It is an orgigin free one an now i feel very cheated (anadius is where i got the all the games from)
Hi! It depends on what you'd like to do. If you want to use the automatic, then yes, you need to subscribe to the premium membership and you'll need to download it again to be able to sync the folder with mine, sorry.
If you know the version you have and you don't mind using torrents you can use these: https://thesimarchitect.com/the-sims-4-updates-and-patches/
It all depends on how many updates you need, sometimes it's not worth risking any inconsistency.
Now, I don't understand what you mean when you say you feel cheated. Did I do anything wrong?
Yes i think so since i did everything according to the read me file and spent days downloading an fixing everything, only the base game is working and I cant play anything else, even tho it show all the other games are installed. So yes i do feel cheated. Its just one thing after another that needs fixing, install this, download that, put that there and so on, i also got it in russian at one point, i just want to play and no i don't mind a few bugs and glitches here and there. I just want to play the game i spent my entire weekend trying to install and get working.
And why do i even get to download a torrent file if it's not the correct one that will work? I will not pay for anything until i see that it actually works
You do not have to pay to use the torrents. Sorry your experience on other websites was bad.
My own torrents do not have a readme file, they have a link to my website instead, so people can come here and find up to date information, that way I can fix if something is wrong on my tutorials or help people when they post comments like you just did π
G4TW repacks (which are linked on my website's updates only list) usually have those readme files, as well as most of other publishers. I have nothing against that old school technique, but I prefer only using links to my website instead because information gets obsolete.
Oh, and people subscribe or donate to help me keep the site alive, not to get anything in return. The benefits people get are a thank you benefit I give back, nothing else. It's like when you support a Twitch streamer. You like what a creator does, you help. If you don't, you don't make a donation. π
Thanks. Sorry if i seem harsh, but it just has been a round about of information that leads back to The same place and still nothing is working.
And I also have a horrible internet connection where i live. I would love to pay a lot to get a decent one but nothing else is available so it will probably take me a week to get this downloaded. But one last try before i give up
I am so very sorry to hear you're facing these issues. There are methods to recycle files you already have when downloading torrents with Tixati. You can start downloading the latest The Sims 4 All in One Portable 1.62.67.1020 β April 2020 β Hellos and Bug Fixes, then once it finishes checking everything and starts actually downloading the files, you STOP it using the stop button.
You overwrite the files that are being downloaded with the ones you have (using Windows Explorer), so you will replace the dummy empty files preallocated by Tixati with real ones you already have.
Then you run a "force recheck" on Tixati, which will validate the files you don't need to download again because you overwrote the "empty shells" with an "already downloaded" copy that has the same content as what Tixati would get if you spent hours redownloading it.
You'll have a lower than 100% completion in the end of the recheck, meaning that Tixati will have recognized the files you still need to download. Then, and only then, you start/continue downloading again. That's the best possible way to fix your game in the sense of using the lesser amount of data.
The downside is that it's quite tricky and you need to be a bit tech savy. I am not sure if my post on The Sims 4 All in One Portable 1.62.67.1020 β April 2020 β Hellos and Bug Fixes has instructions on how to do the force recheck thing for people who already have parts of the game, but basically that's how you do it.
I plan on creating a tutorial showing that sometime, but lately I have been working almost non stop fixing technical stuff and other things.
A couple of days ago I lost my entire folder on Yandex Disk and I had to run up and down fixing things and reinviting people.
It's ok that you feel frustrated, there's tons of content on the internet, some of it is good, some not so much. I am not the best by far, but I am trying to do my best with the resources that I have and the fact that I am working alone. We all learn.
Hi again. I've gotten all the games installed but when i start up i can se "my collection" or what ever it says in english (my installation is in swedish), but when i start a game it only access the main game? I see that everything is installed but I can't play it. What am I doing wrong? I have an origin free installation and it says that "origin isn't working right now, some functions may not work" or something like that.
1. Kill origin on your task manager each time before playing.
2. Run the game from Yandex Disk, directly where it is.
3. Please let me know if it works properly.
I will do some stuff around the house, back in my computer later. I wish it works as expected.
I don't even have origin on my computer, so it never launches. I'm still stuck at the same place, everything launches perfectly but i can't use any of the dlc, they just sit there and when i click on them it says "connection required" but in swedish of course.
Interesting. Please try The Sims 4 Validator and post the results here, so I can take a look.
Well, it seems you don't have it installed for some reason.
How are the icons on your Yandex App?
Oh, you're not a premium subscriber. You were commenting on the wrong topic. Glad I found a plugin so I could move this topic to the right post, that way it's easier since the subject is related.
Anyway, it seems you're using the wrong files / folder. Maybe ZLOrigin?
Still the same issue, all the dlc's are there but i can't play them. Just says "connection required, do you wish to connect" and if i press ok it just stuck for a while until it says "could not connect".
Hello! I'm already playing Sims 4 game but I want to try your version. Question: How can I retain my game if I use your game version? Is it possible if I make a copy of my game and make a new file name and paste your version there? Thanks
Your saves and custom content are saved in your Documents folder and shared by any version of the game you have installed on your computer if you play with the same Windows User.
You can have my game version in one folder, the other(s) in other folders, they should not interfere with each other.
You need to kill origin in your task manager to run my modded version.
thanks for your response
Welcome π
Hello. I am having a problem with the 1 Visual C# folder, I could easily download the 2013, but when I try to download the 2015 and 2017, this message shows up: "Setup failed. One or more issues have caused this setup to fail. Fix the issues first and then try again."
What should I do?
I don't know why that's happening to some people but perhaps you can play the game without installing them. Please try and let me know.
I tried playing the game without them yesterday, as you said, and it was doing just fine, but today, when I entered it again, my sims disappeared and the game restarted (all the tutorials appeared again).
Oh? So you didn't remove the files again but your saves are gone? Did you save your progress?
Can I download this on MacBook?
Right now you need a Windows Emulator do to that, then yes. I don't know how to set it up though.
does this work with origin? And is there any way to play online with the gallery?
Yes, it works in paralell with origin, meaning you can have two versions of the game on your computer, this one being off line without gallery and online features and origin's separately. They'll share the same saves and custom content, though, since that stuff is inside your Documents folder.
Hi, I'm new here. I'm currently downloading The Sims 4 All in One Portable with Tixati. The seeds are ranging between 20 to 27 and 4 to 5 peers, the remaining time says 4 days. Is there any way to speed it up? My internet speed is 10 Mbps.
It's a very large 45GB download and your internet is slow for today's standards, so it will likely take you a few days, it's not incorrect. Even if you got the The Sims 4 All in One Automatic that features a direct link you'd still have to wait a few days to download it, specially if you or anybody else uses the internet for more stuff, sorry. I wish all goes well, glad you're using Tixati and not risking uTorrent, that sometimes corrupt files. If you have old files you can try to reuse them then force a recheck.
It's alright, I'm almost finished with the download. Speaking of old files, I keep my Electronic Arts folder from my previous TS4 game. Which file that I should not replace in the folder when I already have installed the new TS4 from your site?
Hi! Nice.
What do you mean?
The game uses two "major" groups of folders. The first one is the game itself, which we usually save on
C:\Program Files\The Sims 4
(unless using the new The Sims 4 All in One Automatic which you just keep on your Yandex Disk folder) and another isDocuments/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4
, which has your saved games, gallery items you previously downloaded or created, mods and CC and it's shared by any version of the game you may have installed on your computer, as long as you're logged with the same Windows Account.Sorry if my comment was unclear. What I mean is, I have The Sims 4 game before but the game was old. It was too old that it was so left behind with the latest patch, therefore I decided to download yours and uninstalled my old The Sims 4. However, I've copied my "Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4" folder in order to keep my saved game files, mods, etc so that I can use them again by the time I have installed The Sims 4 from your website. My question is, which files, in the "Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4" folder, that I should not replace with my old files later? The files in that specific folder.
Edit: I forgot to add, I never used a Windows Account for my The Sims 4 game before so that's why I copied the raw files instead.
You will use the entire old βDocuments\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4β normally when you play with the new version and the game should update your saves to the new version as you use them.
All I had to do was run the game and the folder will be created automatically, I forgot about that one. I can already play the game, it's running smoothly. Thank you for your time and patience to answer all my questions π
Awesome! You're very welcome!
Hi, is there anyway to speed up the download time? I have been downloading the file for over 12 hours and I'm only at 20%. It says it is going to take +40 days to download.
Sorry to hear that. There's a good amount of seeds, so maybe your internet is not too fast, maybe you have some firewall issues or maybe your internet service is throttling torrents. Try to run a speed test at https://www.speedtest.net/ or any other site you trust and let me know what's your result.
Hi I just ran the speed test and got 37.11 Mbps for download. :/ Also it is still stuck at 20%. Maybe my internet is blocking torrent files now.
Yes, that's a slow-ish internet (not too bad, not fantastic) but you can expect to take a couple of days to download everything.
I just stopped the download to try Tixati, instead. But when I use the decoder it says I don't have the correct software even though I just downloaded Tixati.
That is weird. You installed Tixati, then you ran it and tested things out first to see if the App is working and all? Also you need to set Tixati properly so it uses encryption for your down and up stream, otherwise your ISP will cut you off.
Now, once it's all set up you can go to the download link as usual and when you click on the link decoder your browser should ask you to open a torrent client or nothing (maybe a blank tab) may hapen in your browser but Tixati starts downloading automatically (you can verify it by opening tixati and seeing if it's downloading).
Hi, I keep on trying to download your file with uTorrent but it says:
The Sims 4 All in One Portable 1.62.67.1020 + Legacy 1.62.67.1520 [Sim Architect]
Peers:0
Seeds:0
Low peers and seeds
Can you help me please?
Weird, because the torrent is right but it has tons of seeds. Try using Tixati instead of uTorrent and verify that you're allowed to use peer to peer on your network. Otherwise you might need The Sims 4 All in One Automatic or a Paid VPN, sadly.
It's working now thanks
Awesome!!!
Hi, is there anyway to speed up the download time? I have been downloading the file for 12 hours and I'm only at 20%. It says it is going to take +38 days to download.
Sorry to hear that. There's a good amount of seeds, so maybe your internet is not too fast, maybe you have some firewall issues or maybe your internet service is throttling torrents. Try to run a speed test at https://www.speedtest.net/ or any other site you trust and let me know what's your result.
Hi sim architect. I have base game version 1.0.797. which tutorial update should i follow?
You should start from scratch with the tutorial you're commenting on (All in One Portable). Of course, if you prefer a direct download without using torrents you can use the newest The Sims 4 All in One Automatic
I was playing fine then all of a sudden I shut down my compiter and opened it again and now it shows a white screen and wonβt respond? Is there a repair in the folders?
Hi! You mean you have a white screen when playing the game or in your computer in general?
If it's for the game only try to edit the file
Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Options.ini
and change the line about full screen to befullscreen = 0
so you can play in windowed mode and possibly fix video issues.Meanwhile, also please check your anti virus history/quarantine and allow/restore affected items in the game folder.
Hello, I don't know why but when I try to install the Visual C # 2015 folder - for both 32 and 64 bits - it says "Setup failed. One or more issues have caused the setup to fail. Fix the issues first and then try again." I click on the details but it's all very complicated I.T technical language that I don't understand. The other two folders for 2013 and 2017 work fine. Only the 2015 one comes out as failed setup.
Do you know what might be the problem?
I still tried to go ahead with the rest of the installation btw, hoping that it might still work, but only my old sims opened - base game and a few expansion packs. So I'm guessing it didn't work because of the 2015 Visual C # files that wouldn't setup.
That sounds weird, because if the old version of the sims works, this one should as well. Do you have Windows 64?
Hi, yes I have Windows 64.
Let me think. You say your old sims with a few expansions only opens. First, that means you should have Visual C ok already, if you can play with the old 64 bit version. Second, you need to kill origin on your task manager each time before playing if you have Origin in your computer. Third, you need to make sure you're running the game you just downloaded and not the previous one, meaning you should NOT use the shortcut you had before, you need to run the game from where you saved the new version you got from here. π
1.So I checked the Visual C stuff that I have in my settings and I've got 2008, 2011, 2013, 2017, but no 2015. I'm just letting you know in case this matters.
2. I followed your instructions and opened task manager but found no origin working in the background. It hasn't worked in the background ever since I downloaded and installed one of the β¦ packages/sets you made available back when I think Island Living was the newest pack released. It was the one where you made it possible to choose which EP, GP or SP we wanted -- many many thanks for that btw! <3 So I was sure origin wasn't working in the background - if it did I wouldn't be able to play the sims I currently have.
3. I did create a shortcut according to your video, which is what puzzles me haha. Even when I clicked the TS4 application from the folder I downloaded it plays the current sims that I have.
OK, this thread got a bit long and I am confused.
1. You could play with the previous x64 version of The Sims 4, so you don't need to worry about Visual C++.
2. When you play with the x64 you are missing some DLC, right? That's the only problem?
3. If that's the case, do you have the DLC Toggler? If so, try using it, because perhaps you need to enable the DLC you are missing there.
4. Please let me know what happens and sorry if I am a bit confused, too much stuff in my head at the same time π
OHMYGOODNESS THIS ACTUALLY WORKED! hahahaha I was prepared to give up. You were right, the dlc-toggler worked! It turns out that I had the old dlc-toggler in my C:/ folder. I just needed to copy and paste the new toggler.
Thank you so much for all your time and effort <3
Awesome π
I haven't installed The Sims 4 in my computer at all, but you kept saying in the video "if you have the sims 4,, blah blah blah" But I don't have it. How do Install this?
What I meant was, you were adding like some stuff to the Sims 4 folder in Program Files, but I don't have it :((
Good, you just create an empty folder with that name then.
Good, you just create an empty folder with that name then.
Oh, Okay Thanks!! It's working very well!! One question though, there is no sound in my game, i checked the game options but all of the sounds are on 100% I don't know why I still don't have any sounds. Is there anything to do to fix this?
Check your computer sound settings to see if the correct sound device is selected.
Thank you so much!! It worked!! <33
π€© Awesome! Please have fun and stay tuned for news! I just updated this post with new information: The Sims 4 Nifty Knitting Stuff Pack is Coming This Summer
Hello! I couldn't comment on the "Sims 4 - Quickly Enable Mods and CC" page so I'm going to comment here π I have a question, so I downloaded the Sims 4 All In One Portable 1.62.67.1020 + Legacy 1.62.67.1520 Download and it worked perfectly. When I started playing the game, I noticed that my alpha cc hairs doesn't work well in-game. It has like weird blonde strands which is really annoying. I only have Custom Content and Mods, Script Mods enabled in my game options but when I restart my game, it's still the same. I also had the graphics of the sims on high but it still didn't work. I tried to put the graphics of the sims on low too but it still didn't work. I downloaded new alpha cc hair and checked if it would work, but it also didn't work. Is there any solution for this? (BTW, it's only the hairs that have weird glitches not the clothes. Also it only has this bug/glitch on alpha hair cc not maxis match cc.) Also, it doesn't glitch in create a sim, only in-game.
Thank you!!
You need to check if those CC items have a newer version that corrects the bug. And be prepared for more CC to break now the new Sims 4 Eco Lifestyle is coming...
Oh, Okay thanks!! I'll just use maxis match cc hair for now π Also, when will you have a download for the Sims 4 Eco Lifestyle?
Awesome! Eco Lifestyle will be available as soon as possible. First on The Sims 4 All in One Automatic, then there will be an update only and a new All in One.
We may also have the pre expansion patch, it will depend on what happens, but The Sims 4 Automatic always takes precedence. π
Uhm, I really want to download the Sims 4 Eco Lifestyle now but I don't know what link to download. There's so much new links that I don't know. The only thing that I downloaded in this website is the Sims 4 All in one Portable 1.62.67.1020 + Legacy 1.62.67.1520 Download. What should I download next so that I can have Eco Lifestyle?
You need to install BOTH below, in the correct order (chronological):
https://thesimarchitect.com/the-sims-4-eco-lifestyle-update-only-1-63-134-1020-requires-all-in-one-1-62-67-1020/
https://thesimarchitect.com/the-sims-4-june-10th-update-only-1-63-136-1010-requires-all-in-one-1-63-134-1020/
https://thesimarchitect.com/the-sims-4-july-2020-update-1-64-84-1020-pre-nifty-knitting/ (if you want the latest patch, but it's for Premium Subscribers only)
Or you can Download The Sims 4 Eco Lifestyle All in One Portable 1.63.136.1010 [Including June 10th Patch] instead and replace the one you already have. The page already has a tutorial showing how to reuse your existing files for faster torrenting.
I don't see any tutorial on the page? Why is that? π
The tutorial is on the next few pages, pagination at the bottom π
Oh sorry!! I didn't see π My bad π
Also when I download this: https://thesimarchitect.com/the-sims-4-eco-lifestyle-all-in-one-portable-1-63-136-1010-june-10th-patch/
will I have Eco Lifestyle already? Also, what do I do with the Sims 4 All in one Portable 1.62.67.1020 + Legacy 1.62.67.1520 Download?
Update only versions are incremental. You need to apply one on top of each other, step by step, version after version, without skipping or changing the order, or the game won't work.
Should I just follow the tutorial you had on the website?
Never mind, I finally installed it and all is working really well!! Thank you so much again!! <3
Hi! i have an old unlocked version (1.38) that had a few packs and expansions installed that i only used to really build houses and have simple game play when im bored. i recently wanted to try mods but when i tried to install them, i can't given how old the version is. is it possible to just use one of the newer updates or just use this all in one portable download? thank you!
Hi! You should use this All in One you're commenting on and start from scratch. You can rename your old Sims folder inside your program files to anything like Old Sims 4 or something like that, so you can delete it after you liked the new version.
There's also the new Sims 4 All in One Automatic if you don't want to use torrents and also have your game updated automatically each time I update the source.
