Update Only Procedure [Alternative]
Reusing Files You Already Have for Faster Download
If you already have another version of the game, no matter where it comes from, no matter the version number, or even if it's multi language or English only, you can optionally do the following if you want to speed up the download process by reusing the files you already have in your computer!
The instructions below are for Tixati, but you will likely be able to do the same if using another torrent client.
Once you start downloading you should have a similar screen like the one below. You need to select the torrent, right click on it, choose stop to make Tixati pause downloading (mine was already complete, therefore it shows as seeding, yours will be downloading and with a lower percentage in your progress column until it's done).
As you can see above the folder structure is similar to what you have on your local copy of the game. What you will do next is to reuse the files you already have on your computer, so you don't need to redownload them, saving you many hours of wait.
To do that, you'll have to open your local copy of the game on Windows Explorer. In my case I use the default C:\Program Files\The Sims 4 folder, but your copy of the game can be located anywhere else according to how you set it up previously (Origin's version can also be used as a "source" for this step, by the way).
If you look at the folder structure below you'll see it's VERY similar to the one within the torrent. What you want to do is to select everything (left click any of the items just once, then use Ctrl + A so select all items), then copy (Ctrl + C or Right Click Selection, then Copy).
Now, back to your torrent client, you want to right click on the folder The Sims 4 shown below, then on Open Folder.
Double Click on The Sims 4
Now you can press Ctrl + V (or right click on an empty space, then select Paste) to Paste the previously copied files:
Enable the check mark to "Do this for all current items" when you see the dialog below, then click on Yes.
Once you're done copying / overwriting the files, open Tixati again, then right click on the torrent you're downloading, then Local Files, Force Recheck.
That will make Tixati compare the files you just wrote with the ones that should be downloaded. If they're the same, they'll be reused, if they're different, they'll be discarded automatically, that way Tixati will only download what you really need on the next step.
Once the Force Recheck procedure is done (it may take a few minutes to process everything), you just need to right click the torrent again, then Start.
Depending on which files you already had this will speed up your download considerably. Once your Progress Bar is at 100% your download is complete and you can move to the next page for the next step of this tutorial!

hi! i folloed the steps step by step and even turned off my anti virus, when i check the bin folder, OrangeEmu64.dll is in it but whenever i try to open my game it says that OrangeEmu64.dll is not found !
whenever i check at my bin OrangeEmu64.dll is there but it i cant seem to open my game ð
1. Origin must NOT be running when you play (check your task manager)
2. Add the folder where your game is to your anti virus exclusion list (you may have more than one anti virus), so the real time protection doesn't deactivate/block it
3. Have virtualization OFF on your BIOS
4. Run the game as Administrator
hey, whenever i click "click to continue" to download, it would just direct me to a website that's empty, for reference this is where it directs me to : magnet:ðŧ
and it doesn't start to download.
That magnet is the link. You need to have Tixati or uTorrent installed, then your browser should ask you if you want to download using the registered application ð
thank you!
Hi I'm having trouble downloading the game, it doesn't download when I click it
Oh? What happens?
How do i install this on macOS? i can't get the latest version
What do you mean?
I mean it it sad that the system cannot find the path spec
Change your torrent client settings to point towards a folder that currently exists.
Thank you, for your reply! im using utorrent and i dont see client setting, and i dont know where to change it. Im just stupid...
uTorrent is your torrent client ð
It has settings where you define the download folder etc.
You're not stupid for not knowing. You just need a friend or family member with more experience around computers to help you in person.
Its downloading now! Thank you! I just had to change the file i wanted to download it into. As u sad I firs excluded the Sims 4 file that i created. But the problem was it didnt let me downloade it into that. I choose a file that i didnt exclude and now its working. So thank you a lot!
Awesome!
I want to Force Check but Tixati says that the file is too large
I heard of that happening before. Not sure what to do. ð
I have no idea how to download anything on here anymore..It seems I have to automatically pay?
What do you mean?
Hi, so I just downloaded it but it can't open the game because "MSVCP120.dll" and "MSVCR120.dll" could not be found and I should try to reinstall the program and try again. I already reinstalled it twice but it didn't solve the problem. Any idea what I could do about that?
Just install Visual C Runtime Libraries and you'll be good to go. More info in the tutorial above ð
It's working now, thank you so much!
Thank you for this! Where can I download the update only tho?
I didn't make an update only version for this version number, sorry. You need to follow the procedure to reuse the files you already have or you need to download the entire thing again.
Hi, is it possible for you to make a download for this but only the update?
Maybe in the future. There's a method to reuse your files in the tutorial above, so you don't actually need an update only version ð
The force check doesn't work for me, it says the folder is too large.
Oh no. Sorry to hear that. I don't know how to fix that. Are you using Tixati or uTorrent?
Tixati, i will try uTorrent to see if it works
Or you can just download the thing from scratch, you would have it finished by now, unless your internet is really slow, of course.
