3.3. Option B - Run the Game Directly from the Download Folder [If you did not choose Option "A" Above]
Since this is a Portable Repack of The Sims 4, it should work no matter where you keep your files, as long as the hardware supports it (you don't want to play from a memory card, for example, because it's too slow and sometimes not too resilient).
To play with it right after you finish downloading you just need to open your task manager to verify that Origin is NOT running in the background, then double click on the file TS4_x64.exe
below and have fun!
Now, sometimes your computer might be a bit picky and your game might require you to run it as Administrator (or you might want to take this extra step just in case). To do that, you'll open the folder where you save the game on Windows explorer, then right click your TS4_x64.exe
file, then Properties...
Now, open the Compatibility Tab, Click on Change Settings for All Users...
Now you want to enable the checkbox "Run this program as an administrator", then OK and OK again.

Hello! I've been trying to install the game for hours and everytime I try to run the game a pop up appears which says:
Unable to start
The contents of your user data directory were created by a newer version of The Sims 4 and cannot be loaded. Please update your game via Origin to play.
Please help me!
You have 2 options.
1. Use the latest The Sims 4 All in One Automatic [Including Nifty Knitting] or update your existing game from 1.63.136.1010 to 1.65.70.1020 using The Sims 4 Nifty Knitting Update Only 1.65.70.1020 [From Any All in One 1.63 or 1.64]
2. Delete the file
"\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\GameVersion.txt"
and hope you don't have any glitches whenever you switch from a newer to an older version.Heya, I'm a long time user of your downloads so I know how everything works and my games have worked previously ð I've downloaded this version of the game on my computer but every time I try to load the game it comes up with:
'The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP1200.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.'
I've reinstalled it and still no luck. Can anything be done?
You need to install the Visual C libraries.
Thank you! It worked perfectly.
ðĪĐ Awesome! You are more than welcome!
Hello,
With Windows 10, all I have is the option to replace the duplicate files - not merge them. If I replace duplicates, will I lose the saved games I already have?
Thanks for your help.
Hi! If you're are operating on files inside your Program Files like displayed on my tutorial, no, because your saves, mods and CC are inside
Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims4
Awesome. Thanks for your replay and for ALL you do! We appreciate it. ð
You're welcome ð
nevermind you just delete the GameVersion.txt
Yes! Glad you figured it out before I woke up ð
Is there something we can do about the error message that says "Unable to start: The contents of your user data directory were created by a newer version of the sims 4 and cannot be loaded. Please update your game via Origin to play. [d6f91ffb:29f00e76:00000000:4b0d852b]"?
Will there be an upgrade to include the Knitting pack?
Yes, there is one already: The Sims 4 All in One Automatic [Nifty Knitting]
