Download and install The Sims 4 Anniversary Patch [February 2020] with this smaller repack [Hot Tub Included] to update your game right now if you already have Tiny Living installed!
The Sim 4 Update 02/04/2020 - Patch 1.61.15.1020
Twenty years ago, The Sims was released on the 4th of February 2000. As a simulation game, it confused "traditional" gamers because it had no defined end goals and there was no way to "win." Non-players even described it as "that game where you have to tell your character to use the bathroom." Even now, two decades later, some people have yet to abandon this mindset, but many of you have been with us from the beginning or joined in the years between, and you understand why The Sims is so much more than just playing house.
Thank you for being here with us through this journey. We have been working on bringing new experiences to our players, such as cross-platform Gallery for our console, PC, and Mac players. And as we continue through our twentieth year, we hope to deliver new excitement to the world of The Sims.
To start the celebrations, we added the Birthday Hot Tub, which you can find in Build Buy as soon as you update your game. Yes, it is for everyone!
We also added new music—we hope you enjoy it!

please help, i try to update my game (i have versions 1.60.54.1020) but when i open the link on utorrent it says there is no seeds? it won't download, please help
Hi! I see seeds normally here, try Tixati instead of uTorrent, maybe it helps.
There's 3 seeds right now.
I also can't see your IP in the clients list. Do you have restrictions on your internet access that might be blocking your access to peer to peer networks? Also remember to turn encryption on, since nowadays almost nobody shares files without it to avoid ISP throttling.
Oh, and I am assuming you have 1.60.54.1020+ Tiny Living. Because if you don't have Tiny Living you need it too.
Hello! I have followed your instructions for the update and was able to operate the game but the recent packs are indicated in the home and it says that I should connect to the internet in order to 'install' it. And also, when i play the game, there are glitches such as in build mode, the retail i own (cannot see the other stores), and the switching of sims, (so far these are only the glitches i have observed) Hope things will get resolved. Thank you so much! <3
Hi! Sorry you're facing these issues. You should only use the update only versions if you're doing an incremental update that's not larger than one step. For all other situations you need to use The Sims 4 Free Anniversary All in One Portable 1.61.15.1020
Thank you so much for everthing!
You're more than welcome 😇
I previously had the 1.60.54 tiny living all in one version and I downloaded this patch but when I try to open the game, it says "Game data is missing or damaged"I have disabled my antivirus and even checked the quarantined items and there is nothing there. I have already tried two times and i really don't know what to do.
Rename your Sims 4 folder inside Documents and try again. If it doesn't work then try applying the patch again.
I tried both. didnt work.
Sorry to hear that. You should install The Sims 4 Free Anniversary All in One Portable 1.61.15.1020 from scratch then. Sadly. Please follow the tutorial instructions very closely.
Should I delete the previous Sims 4 folder from documents or keep it?
You can rename it for testing, rename it back later if you have any save you want to recover.
Should I delete the sims 4 folder from the documents or just overwrite it?
You can keep the one you have, maybe back it up if you have anything saved there that's important? Then, if the game does not work properly, you can rename or delete it. Otherwise you should be able to use your previous saves.
Trying to download this to update my game, it doesn't seem to have any seeds, is there anything I can do to fix that or do I just have to wait?
Hi. I don't see you on my client list and yes, it seems people stopped seeding, sorry. The All in One versions are much more popular, I guess.
You can download The Sims 4 Anniversary Update 1.61.15.1020 Update Only G4TW which has more seeds, or you can try downloading it by subscribing to the Premium Access, then I can email you an invitation to download the folder directly from Yandex Drive.
Another alternative would be for you to use the latest The Sims 4 Free Anniversary All in One Portable 1.61.15.1020.
do i need to keep every update folder on my computer or can i remove them after i copy everything from it?
Hi! if you use an update like this one where you're commenting, you will overwrite the old game files with the new, and also add the files that weren't there before. Once you do that you can remove the downloaded update only "source" but not the game with the update installed on it.
Now, if you use an All in One it will also depend on how you install. If you overwrite your old game with the new files you can erase the downloaded folder but not the new game with the updated installed on top of it.
If you use an All in One version as a "fresh install" on an empty folder you can get rid of the old version of the game if you want to, and only keep the new, once you tested it out and it's working well. Same for the "download", which you can erase (or you could just move instead of copying the files on the first place.
Sorry if I wrote too much or if I sound a bit confusing, almost 5 am here LOL. I wish this helps. 😇
If I have the Origin base game can I use these updates or can I only use this version from this site?
Hi! You should use The Sims 4 Free Anniversary All in One Portable 1.61.15.1020, since the update only versions are meant for people who have the specific All in One mentioned in the post already (each update is incremental from the previous one).
Now, you install the All in One on
C:\Program Files\The Sims 4
, which is a different folder from the Origin version, meaning you can play with either one, depending on your need 😉So I downloaded the update but I don’t have the new hot tub unless it’s not where the other ones are?
You can find it with the other tubs. Are you running the 64 bit version of the game or the legacy one? Did you install the All in One or did you update a previous version? If so, which version you updated from?
I wish this helps.
Hello, my game is outdated.. i have version island living 1.52.100
So, can you help me?
which one the link i have to install in my lap. I mean, to update and install the latest version.. there was many updated..i was left behind :")
Sorry, I hope you can help 🙏🙏
You should use The Sims 4 Free Anniversary All in One Portable 1.61.15.1020.
Install it from scratch, it will be easier than trying to update things manually.
thank you 🙂
You're welcome 😇
Jdownloader keeps saying (temporarily unavailable stockstorage.com). Is there a problem from my side or? Is my antivirus software conflicting because i disabled it and its still not working. I tried downloading from browser but the download never reaches the end. I use chrome, should I use a different browser? 🙁
You should be using Tixati to download the torrent. Not sure how to download torrents with JDownloader, sorry.
I'm kinda confused, i hope you can help me out.
If i download this, i'll have everything? Every EP, GP and including the base game or i have to download the base game separetedly?
Also
Do i need to download a 50gb pack everytime there is an update? I would appreciate if you replied c:
First you need to download and install The Sims 4 Tiny Living All in One Portable then you install this update over it.
after i updated this to the new version (1.61.15.1020) I can't start my game and there's a notice saying 'Unable to Start, because the required game data is missing or damaged. Please repair or reinstall the game via Origin.'
Which version did you have before?
Same thing happened to me! And I have the 1.60.54.1020. I've been updating since the Realm of Magic update and I only encountered this problem now haha good thing I backed up the game folder
The problem seems to be that perhaps both of you are using an update version when you don't have the correct base. The update only versions require you to have the previous all in one, or they may not work properly (or not work at all).
When in doubt, use an All in One version instead.
I will try that! Or maybe I'll just wait for a bigger update, teehee. Thank you for the fast answer though!
Nice! You're very welcome!
As always, thank you for your work and everything you do.
You are more than welcome!
