Sims 4 Updater - GUI tool for updating/repairing your The Sims 4 game made by anadius Website: https://anadius.hermietkreeft.site/sims-4-updater Join Discord for faster support: https://anadius.hermietkreeft.site/discord CS RIN thread: https://cs.rin.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=102519 Donate: https://anadius.hermietkreeft.site/donate ======================================================================================= Simply select your game folder and click the Update button. Sims 4 Updater uses a mix of xdelta patches and full files to ensure as small download as possible. ======================================================================================= If you have a legit game then Sims 4 Updater will put the cracked exe in "The Sims 4\Game-cracked\Bin\TS4_x64.exe". Start the cracked exe to play with all DLCs. If you want to play your legit game with pirated DLCs then you need to use a DLC Unlocker. You can get one from here: https://anadius.hermietkreeft.site/dlc-unlockers https://cs.rin.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=104412 Use the EA DLC Unlocker v2. It's much easier to use and much better than the Unlocker v1. ======================================================================================= If you're looking for the instructions on how to use the manually downloaded patches - read the FAQ below. ======================================================================================= FAQ: Q: Updater doesn't run, I get some error message, what should I do? A: First of all Sims 4 Updater is 64-bit only, so make sure your Windows is 64-bit too. It's written in Python 3.10 and they dropped Windows 7 support in 3.9, so if you have Windows 7 - update it to 8 or newer. And lastly make sure you have VC Redist 2015-2022 x64 ( https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads ) installed and that your anti-virus doesn't block it. Q: I get download or metadata errors, what should I do? A: If you use a VPN - try selecting a different country (like Netherlands) or disable it completely. If you don't have a VPN or that didn't help - use ProtonVPN - free version works fine, make sure you select Netherlands server. If it's too slow consider downloading the files manually (see below). If the Updater can't auto-update, download the newest version yourself: ( https://rentry.org/sims-4-updater-beta ) If you can't update the game - first download all the patches between your current game version and the newest one: ( https://rentry.org/sims-4-updater-beta#sims-4-updater-manual-updates ) Then download my newest crack (no-origin-fix-<game version>-ANADIUS.rar): ( https://rentry.org/the-sims-4-crack-only ) And finally if you want to install some DLCs grab them from: ( https://rentry.org/the-sims-4-dlc-only ) Put all downloaded files in the same folder as the Updater and simply run it. Q: Can I use the Updater without internet connection? A: No, but you can use the Patcher. It uses the same patch, crack and DLC files as the Updater (see links in the answer above). You can get it from here: ( https://github.com/anadius/patcher/releases/latest/download/patcher_and_patch_maker.7z ) Extract the 7z archive with 7-zip or WinRAR. patcher.exe is what you want to use. Q: I get some other errors, what should I do? A: First culprit is your anti-virus. Disable it. If that doesn't help reset file permissions (see question below). If that doesn't help copy the whole Updater ("sims-4-updater-<version>.exe", all "updater_*" files and "updater_tmp" folder) somewhere else. That's important: COPY, not move. If that doesn't help copy your game somewhere else. Again: COPY, not move. Q: Error message tells me to reset file permissions, how do I do it? A: Download this file ( https://anadius.hermietkreeft.site/attachments/reset-folder-permissions.bat ) ( https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/975718723367338015/975719718101086298/reset-folder-permissions.bat ) Right click on it, run as administrator. Q: Is the new update/DLC added to the Updater? A: Check out my Discord or a couple of last pages from The Sims 4 thread: ( https://cs.rin.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=65003 ) I post the news about the Updater there. Q: Can you install the whole game with the Updater? A: Yes, but I don't recommend it. Use some repack from the second post of The Sims 4 thread instead: ( https://cs.rin.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?p=930236#p930236 ) Q: I updated the game but a new DLC is not installed, why? A: There are 3 possible reasons: 1. That DLC isn't out yet. The Sims 4 always gets an update 2-5 days before the DLC comes out. The DLC may appear unlocked on the main menu screen but if it's not out yet then I can't do anything about it, I'm not a time traveller. 2. You didn't check that DLC in the "Install DLCs" window. 3. You use DLC Unlocker and didn't read what to do when we get a new DLC. Q: I have problems with starting/playing the game, where can I get some help? A: Make sure you read the troubleshooting guide. You can find it on my website: ( https://anadius.hermietkreeft.site/sims-4-troubleshooting-guide ) It's also posted on Reddit and in the first post of The Sims 4 thread on CS RIN: ( https://www.reddit.com/r/CrackSupport/comments/eskpgu/the_sims_4_troubleshooting_guide/ ) ( https://cs.rin.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?p=930232#p930232 ) If you still have problems you can ask in The Sims 4 thread or on my Discord. ======================================================================================= The newest version of Sims 4 Updater is always available on my website https://anadius.hermietkreeft.site/sims-4-updater on CS RIN forum https://cs.rin.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=102519 and on this Rentry page https://rentry.org/sims-4-updater-beta Any other source is NOT my upload.
