Apply this update from G4TW if you are currently running The Sims 4 Discover University 1.58.69.1010 or 1.58.63.1010 and want to have the latest 1.59.73.1020 Patch (December 12th including Baby Yoda!).
The Sims 4 December 12th Patch 1.59.73.1020
Official Release Notes [From EA]
Hello Simmers!
It’s been quite the year for The Sims 4! We blew past the game’s 5th anniversary with no signs of slowing down. One of the community’s most highly requested expansion packs just launched recently, and we hope you’re all enjoying getting educated in Discover University. In case you haven’t heard, we’ve also launched another community Stuff Pack project, where your collective votes will decide the path of yet another pack coming to The Sims 4. And of course, The Sims’ franchise 20th anniversary is just over the horizon, which we’re looking forward to celebrating with you.
Today’s update has been influenced by you as well... We set aside time to specifically address issues that you’ve let us know are important to your in-game experience, and we hope the long list of fixes and improvements you’ll find below will lead to many hours of fun playing The Sims 4. In addition, we’ve squeezed in a few un-planned extras we hope you’ll enjoy. Not only have we added some new music tracks to the game, but we’ve also converted a number of hairstyles to now also be available for children and toddlers. While the adult versions of these styles will remain exclusive to whichever pack they originally came from, we hope you’ll all enjoy these additional options for your Sim’s little ones.
While Maxis will soon be taking a short break to enjoy the holidays (merry Winterfest, and a Happy New Year!), we’ll be back for another packed year for The Sims 4 in 2020. See you then!

how do i download from linkvertise without paying a monthly subscription ???
You just click on the watch articles thing. Linkvertise was only used on G4TW releases though, and the one you're commenting on is outdated already, you might prefer to use the latest The Sims 4 Tiny Living All in One Portable and install it from scratch.
Where is the download? I only see "⚠ Some Videos Will be Moved to SkillShare ⚠
Please Create a FREE Account Below
🙏🏻 If enough people use this link and sign up for a completely FREE SkillShare account we might be able to afford a file server for direct downloads and a few other nice things. 😇"
I went to that page but it wants my credit card info for a "free trial" not gonna give it
Hi!
The download link is always in large pink letters and it says ⏬ DOWNLOAD HERE ⏬.
@SimArchitect Sorry, Im unable to reply to you directly for some reason.
Yes that's what I'm clicking to download but I keep being redirected to the Link Decoder now?
So strange
Yes, Link Decoder is part of my website, you will see a message asking you to wait for a few seconds, then to click there to continue.
Why can't I just simply download what I want to download?
I keep getting constantly directed to ZipCentral where I'm not even able to download that to get rid of it!!
So frustrating.
Hi! You're likely clicking somewhere wrong. The Download link always has large pink font with one icon on each side like this: ⏬ DOWNLOAD HERE ⏬
Got it?
Hi, can I ask why the application icon of the sims 4 keep disappearing after a few time I play? I'm asking this is because of this the second time the icon disappears and it makes me unable to play the game because of the application icon or file disappear. The first time the icon disappears after I play for a few times, I thought I accidentally delete the icon or something but when I download the whole file then play it for the second time it happened again the icon/file application gone. Please help me, I need so help here. (sorry in advance if I have any grammar mistake in my comment)
If the application icon disappears you just need to create it again by opening the folder where the game is installed etc.
i dont have any cc or mods, i couldnt reply for some reason- the only way to fix that is to toggle the expansion packs and then open which doesnt turn off any of the active expansion packs . also i seem to be missing university for some reason :\\
Ah! You're running the legacy version (32 bits) and not the 64 bits, which includes University.
Hi, sorry got another question for ya. I tried to re-download the game again (1.59.73.1020 all in one portable baby yoda) but why does the link only provide 6.06 Gb of the update and no longer is the full portable game (~44 Gb) anymore? Should I wait a few days to retry or did you change the download link? Thanks 😭
Hi! It happens because this post where you're commenting is the update only version and not the All in One, which you can get below.
The Sims 4 1.59.73.1020 All in One Portable Including December 2019 Update [Baby Yoda]
Hello, I ran into a lot of errors in the game after downloading using your method (overrides the old game files to save download time). I can’t right click sim anymore, and when I click “needs” nothing shows up. Activity queue is also blank. In CAS most thumbnails have a green overlay on top of it so I can’t see what the pictures are.etc ... so I hope you can make a tutorial on how to download and install for people who already have the previous update (example : strangerville) without having to re-download the entire 44Gb of newest update. Thank you so much! Now I have to delete everything since it’s not working.
Sorry to hear that. You can also try to disable all mods and CC to see if any of those are the cause of your issue.
Hello. I downloaded everything and I installed the game just fine, I opened it and I played, creating a house and a big family, though after I quit the game and saved I tried to re-open it, and it got stuck on the loading screen, it didn't froze, it just kept loading and loading, I would really appreciate some help to fix this :((
Ouch. Do you have mods / CC?
hi! I have anadius repack... should I download your repack again? how can i update it?
Hi! Which version do you have? You need to have University to use this update, otherwise you should use the All in One (which is also good to update, as long as you follow the instructions in the post): The Sims 4 1.59.73.1020 All in One Portable Including December 2019 Update [Baby Yoda]
Hello i downloaded the game and i have it closes randomly on the second part of loading. it says that the problematic file is this one simulation.dll
Hello and Happy New Year.. i installed the file the game starts normally and when i am at the second part of loading screen it closes randomly. it says that the problematic file is this one Simulation.dll
Sad to hear that. You need to download it from The Sims 4 1.59.73.1020 All in One Portable Including December 2019 Update [Baby Yoda] Perhaps you want to follow the update procedure there if you want to download faster and only the files that are broken. Of course, check if you don't have any mod or CC that could be broken first.
Hello, So i downloaded this. I did everything the video said i have to do put when i start up the game, it tells me "The code excution connot proceed because OrangeEmu65.DLL was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem." Do i have to reinstall it? if so, how should i reinstall it? Do everything over again?
No, you need to check your anti virus history/quarantine, since it likely removed the modded file mentioned in the error message.
is there any hope for mac users?
Right now, only Virtual Machines. I have an older PC that I want to try to install Mac OS in. If it works and I am able to learn how to use it, I might also be able how to make the game work directly on MacOS as well, then I will likely release specific posts for it (I really want to, we'll see what happens in 2020)
Hello, I am not able to use Codex or the gallery. Should I be able to use them with the all in one version? I currently have the University all in one and will be trying to update it with this new Yoda one
Hi. The gallery won't work in the off line version, sorry. You need to download things manually and install them yourself, please look into the Games4TheWorld Club for more information. We used to have an off line gallery but it's not working currently.
Hi, first of all thank you for your work and website! Have used your files for a few months now and they always work.
However, this time around, I'm running into some trouble.
I downloaded the Anadius repack first, then de-installed it, and tried yours again. They have the same problem though: the UI is glitching. It only happens to the Career/student and Simology tabs, and also glitches everytime I want to travel/order books/medicine/seeds. It's really preventing me from enjoying and playing the game.
Could you please help me?
Thanks for your message! Do you have Mods / Custom Content? That is usually the cause after you update the game, some mods become incompatible and need to be updated individually as well.
Hi. I'm really not familiar with the tech components of my laptop. Can someone tell me if the specs of my laptop can run The Sims 4 and all its DLCs? Below is the spec of my laptop.
Brand : Toshiba
Model : Dynabook R734/K
Processor : Intel Core i5-4300M 2.6Ghz
Ram : 4Gb DDR3
Storage : 320Gb HDD
Graphics : Intel HD Graphics 4600 (1.8Gb)
Display : 1366 x 768
Wifi : Built-in
ODD : none
Screen : 13.3"
Camera : Built-in Camera
Others : HDMI, VGA, 3 3.0 USB Ports, Lan
Thanks a lot!!
You might have issues because of the RAM, but it might work slowly, maybe? It would be ideal to have 16 GB (at least 8GB) of RAM in your system and a discrete graphics card, of course, but you might get away playing with it if you have enough free space in your drive.
Hi. I'm currently experiencing slow download. This is my first time downloading and playing The Sims 4 on my laptop.
You need to use The Sims 4 1.59.73.1020 All in One Portable Including December 2019 Update [Baby Yoda] if you don't have The Sims 4 University already installed.
I'm curious, how would I find my Sims Save File? I'm trying to replace it with someone else's save file and I can't seem to find it.
