3. Install The Sims 4 All in One Portable
3.1. Visual C# Runtime Libraries [Only if you Never Did it on Your Computer]
If you never had The Sims 4 on your computer and you also never installed those libraries, or if you reinstalled Windows, now it's time to do that, so the game can run without showing you an error message complaining that MSVCP120.DLL file wasn't found or anything similar.
Doing it should be pretty straightforward and you just need to run/install all of those six files.
If you get an error message saying you already have it, or that you have a newer version or anything similar, just ignore it, close it, install the others until you're done.
3.2. Option A - Install the Game "Properly"
If you want to install the game properly this is my favorite procedure, and I strongly advise you to use it if you can.
Open your downloaded folder by right clicking the torrent, then Local Files, Open Folder...
Open 2 Program Files...
Right Click the Folder The Sims 4, then Copy...
Open the Folder C:\Program Files (or any other you'd prefer to use, if you can't use Program Files), right click on an empty space then Paste...
If you see the dialog below just choose Yes...
Then enable "Do this for all current items" and click on Yes again...
Click on "Replace the files in the destination" when asked by the prompt below...
Enable "Do this for all current items" and click on Continue...
Wait until all files are copied / overwritten (the number of files will be different than the one presented below).
Once you're finished, navigate to The Sims 4\Game\Bin and make yourself sure that you have at least the files and folders below (sizes and dates may differ). If you're missing any of those, specially TS4_x64.exe or OrangeEmu64.dll your game will NOT work and the lack of any of those files is usually caused by your anti virus, which might have removed them because they're modded. To fix it you'll have to open your anti virus history/quarantine and use the appropriate Allow / Restore action to recover your file(s).
Otherwise, all being good, right click TS4_x64.exe, then Properties...
Open the Compatibility Tab, Click on Change Settings for All Users...
Enable the checkbox "Run this program as an administrator", then OK and OK again.
Right click again on TS4_x64.exe, then Copy...
Now go to your desktop and Paste your Shortcut...
You did it!!! Your game is ready to Play! Always remember to Open your Task Manager and be sure that Origin.exe is NOT running in the background and have fun!

Hi! I was wondering if i accidentally used the DLC uninstaller, can I put the packs back in that I deleted?
DLC Uninstaller removes the files (permanent). DLC Toggler only deactivates them (temporary).
Hi! this has nothing to do with this but i'm wondering if on the online gallery, you can enable cc because whenever i go on there none of the sims have cc
Can't use CC when uploading to EA's Gallery, sorry. You need to share your content elsewhere if you use CC on it, sadly. Same thing seems to happen if you use content that other people created, like downloading a household from the gallery (or house), changing it, can't reupload as your own even if you modified the entire thing.
oh no thats fine... its not your fault but i was just wanting some sims with cc and i guess i can't. lol EA have to fix their stuff man.
Hi, I have a problem. I can't see mods in my game(i have them enabled). Do you maybe know what can cause that issue?
That's weird. If you have mods enable from within the game (you need to re-enable them after each update) and they're in your
Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Modsfolder they should work.Remember that the mods will be only applied to the current Windows user. If you log on with a different user on your computer you won't see the same saves/mods.
Well, It still doesn't work but thank you for the help :))
OK. Check you're using the right folder. You may have The Sims 4 Legacy AND the regular one. They create 2 folders. Also verify you don't have more than one language, some languages use different folder names instead of The Sims 4.
It's working now, thank you for the help !
OMG! Awesome! What did you do to fix it?
I just put the folder(the torrent one) in a different place and changed the name, it worked so I might've messed up with that.
Nice! Thanks for sharing!
Hello! Sorry I'm getting a bit confused with all the versions, hope you can help me out when you have time! I'm currently on version 1.47.49.1020 playing on a Mac (CODEX download), and would like to update my version with the latest patch + eco living if possible. Which sources do I need to download? Thanks in advanced!! Can't believe you do all this and I'll definitely donate when my finances are more stable!
Hi! Thanks for your words!
So... to run it on a mac you need to have a Windows Emulator or Wrapper (wineskin or something like that, I don't know anything about Mac OS yet, sorry).
On top of that you should use the latest All in One, since your version is quite old.
I hope you can make it work.
Got it thank you so much! Starting to want a PC just because it's so much more game compatible haha
I think you can install Windows on a second partition in your hard drive / SSD. There's likely a few tutorials around it. ð
It's also pretty cheap to get a license to Windows Enterprise (or professional, even cheaper) on eBay.
