Instructions
The video above shows how to install The Sims 4 Tiny Living All in One, but the procedure to install other versions of Sim Architect's Sims 4 All in One repacks is the same or very similar.
1. Handle Your Anti Virus Software (if you didn't yet)
This is an essential part and you really must do this before you even start downloading anything or your game will NOT work!
I will share with you how to add folders to your antivirus real time protection exclusion list if you are only using Windows Defender. If you use another software you will need to adjust your procedure accordingly.
First you need to open your start menu, then type Defender
. You'll then click on Windows Security (Illustrated Below).
Now, click on Virus & Threat Protection...
Manage Settings...
Click on Add or Remove Exclusions...
On the screen below you will see a list of your already existing exclusions, which are folders that your anti virus won't touch, meaning it won't remove modified files found inside of them (and also potentially contaminated ones, so be extra careful when doing this). To add the necessary folders not already included in the list you'll click on Add An Exclusion, then on Folder.
At this point you're presented with a regular "Select Folder" dialog, choose the first folder that needs to be excluded from your Anti Virus real time inspection, then click on Select Folder. Repeat the process to all folders you need to exclude, one by one.
Now you might be wondering which folders to exclude, and it will depend on your set up.
The essential ones are these two: The Folder where you are downloading the game into, which is defined on your Torrent Client's Settings and the folder where you are installing the game into, which is usually C:\Program Files\The Sims 4
, unless you choose otherwise (you can even play straight from the download folder, by the way, copying the files to C:\Program Files\The Sims 4
is advisable but completely optional, since this is a Portable Repack).
Once you're done you'll see the folders in the list of exclusions and you can close Windows Security's Window. If you don't do this, your anti virus may remove, quarantine or block a few files as you download the game. If that happens, don't panic. You just need to open Windows Security History / Quarantine and choose the appropriate action, which is usually Allow or Restore. That way you can fix your game quickly without having to redownload everything.

when I access the gallery all the menu tabs have all W's on them
UI Cheats Mod can cause that.
that didnt happen until I got this version
when i first opened the game it said my dlc was downloading and would give me a notification when ready but I've never had that happen before so I'm confused. This is what it looks like. I guess the llama is where Eco would go. Any help would be very much appreciated ð
it might also be worth noting I was updating from the Tiny Living update. I was going to go update by update to make sure I didn't miss anything but they said they were out of date and to try this one so I did and I have this llama where Eco should be. :/

That looks funny. I never saw that.
Anyway I feel you're missing files. Please use The Sims 4 Eco Lifestyle All in One Portable 1.63.136.1010 [Including June 10th Patch] and you can start from scratch or you can reuse your files, instructions all in the tutorial.
when trying to open the game (before downloading this) it would come up with system errors saying it couldn't commute and something about origin. But i don't even have origin installed?
This is made to update the previous The Sims 4 Eco Lifestyle All in One Portable 1.63.134.1020
If you dont'have it you need to use The Sims 4 All in One Automatic 1.63.136.1010 [Eco Lifestyle] or The Sims 4 All in One Automatic 1.63.136.1010 [Eco Lifestyle]
Also, follow all the instructions carefully, you're not supposed to just download and use it however you feel like. I worked on each post for an entire day because those steps are important and you need to deal with your anti virus, install Visual C etc. Sorry.
I apologise I came across horribly then, I had the previous all in one version before the eco lifestyle update so installed said update when it was released, I believe i dealt with the VisualC files when i originally downloaded it? but when i would click on the game to play after following all the steps it would come up with an error saying it couldn't connect to the orange thingy because origin was installed but the game would still load? it's most likely an error on my part though. Thank you for the quick reply and for doing this all together.
Origin error is usually related to your anti virus deleting or blocking a couple of files, specially OrangeEmu.DLL
