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
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.

Hi I download the game but when I play it I don't have Nifty Knitting Stuff Pack and Eco Lifestyle
You are running the wrong exe file for legacy edition instead of the 64 bit, that is why. You need to run "C:\Program Files\The Sims 4\Game\Bin\TS4_x64.exe"
I have the same problem but when I downloaded,the TS4_x64.exe file was not there, only the application without ".exe"
Hi. Your computer may be set up to not show the .exe but you'll still have a file called TS4_64
well I had the file before with other versions, but not with this one. Maybe I will uninstall and delete it all and then redo.
Try checking your anti virus please, it sounds like it might have removed your file.
Hey, I was wondering if there was any way to make this online, (access to the Gallery)?
Hi! No, but you can try to use The Sims 4 Gallery
Can you upload your own creations to this gallery?
No, you need to run Origin's version of the game for that. And whatever you create with this one won't be available to be uploaded either, sorry.
Can I not put that save into my Origin version and upload it from there?
I think you can't because the ID is different. I did not have success with that, sadly. Not sure there's a workaround for that.
Also, About Premium, When I go to sub with annual paypal it says that the transaction is USD 43.08. Is it still a monthly payment? or is it bulk?
Annual is bulk, you pay for the entire year in advance, hence why you have a discount.
Hi, I was playing it worked for me well before but then suddenly when I reopen the game the next day, it said the game was unable to start because "required game data is missing or damaged." and asked me to repair/reinstall the game via Origin.
I had tried re-downloading from the torrent as well as repairing and reinstall the game via Origin but it still shows the same message.
I own the base game.
What am I suppose to do?
This version is separated from the one from Origin.
You can try The Sims 4 Validator to find out which files you're missing.
Also, keep in mind that the current version of the game is a Sims 4 All in One Automatic exclusive and that this torrent is one version older, meaning that your Origin's version of the game will be newer than this one and you may find a glitch now and then (not likely, but possible).
thanks for replying!!
Is there a way to only download only The Eco Lifestyle DLC?
You can not download all the other EP GP and SP folders within the torrent, but get all the rest. That would give you the base game and Eco Lifestyle only. But if you mean updating your existing game, then you need to download everything you want and only not download any EP GP SP folder you do NOT use in the game at all, since it won't be available (but it can't also be recycled from an old version you have).
Another option is to use the update procedure to reuse your existing files if the download size/time is the issue.
Hi!
I've downloaded your version (thank you btw), but I can't play because the game can't connect to the internet and there's a message saying that Origin has crashed (or something like that).
I can't use the game. Can we use it offline? I tried to remove all the options, but still the same. Even my antivirus has allowed access to the game.
Can you help me please?
You need to kill Origin on your task manager before playing.
how do i select the dlc i dont want for example i just want island living and cats and dog what files do i uncheck in the torrent content preview
You select the folders from the EP SP GP you don't want and choose the option to skip them on your torrent client.
You select the folders above mentioned on The Sims 4 All in One Automatic 1.65.77.1020 [August 18th 2020] at Yandex Disk App and select "Keep on line only" if using The Sims 4 Automatic.
thx for replying
You're more than welcome! ð
what if i just want the base game and cat and dogs what do i do
You do NOT download all the EP, SP and GP folders inside The Sims 4 except for EP04, which is Cats and Dogs. You can use the DLC Toggler to turn the undesired ones off as well. If you already download and you need to free up space you can delete those folders too.
Hello! This may seem like a stupid question but how would I download this through my torrent? Thank you very much!
No worries, you just follow the instructions above, keep in mind this is a multiple page tutorial, each segment shows one part of the process, from start to the end. Good luck ð
