3. Apply The Sims 4 Eco Lifestyle 1.63.136.1010 Update
Visual C# Runtime Libraries [Only if you Never Did it on Your Computer]
If you never ran 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.
Update the Game
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 already using instead, if that's the case, so you can see The Sims 4
folder you currently use listed but do NOT open it! Instead, right click on an empty space then Paste to add/replace the necessary files.
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!

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
