Unpleasant message by Anadius for Mac players:
Okay, fine, I’ll make an announcement as clear as possible because people won’t shut up.
I’m not going to make a DLC Unlocker for EA app on Mac.
I don’t know how to keep using Origin without switching to EA app. I don’t know any tricks.
There isn’t a native cracked version of The Sims 4 for Mac. And considering it’s been over 9 years since the release – there probably won’t be any in the future either.
There’s a Windows version running through Wine/Wineskin/CorssOver – this works on Macs, even M1 ones. You can find it on NXMac, I won’t help you with installing it. You can update it with Sims 4 Updater though.
Why I’m not going to make a new Unlocker? Because I don’t have a Mac. And I’m not going to remote connect into someone else’s computer. I did that when making DLC Unlocker v1, but that one was much more primitive, and I did most of the work on Windows, then just replicated the method on Mac. I can’t do that with Unlocker v2 so I’d have to come up with a new method. I have one in mind but the installation instructions would be much, much harder than those for Unlocker v1. And people still can’t follow these without asking me for every little thing.
Elizabeth commented:
Ok so for the mac people I found a way to still use the origin dlc unlocker even after switching to the EA app. It’s a bit of an annoying process to go through but for now I can still play the game with all the DLCs so it’s better than nothing I guess. For this to work you need to have both Origin and EA installed on your computer. Luckily origin for mac is still available to download online if your origin was deleted when you switched to EA.
The steps:
1. Open origin
2. Open EA (press cancel when it asks for admin password and press ok on communication error pop up)
3. Go online on origin
4. Open sims (from where you have it saved on your computer not from the EA app. For me I just type sims in the spotlight search bar and open it from there)
5. Close sims and quit origin
6. Run the add fake entitlements command (don’t have to do the step of opening origin and sims online first then closing because you have just done that)
7. Open origin
8. Close EA app
9. Open ea app (again press cancel on admin password and ok on error pop up)
10. Go offline on ea app
11. Open sims
12. Play with DLC!
anyway hope this helps someone, i know its a lot of steps but like i said better than nothing i guess.
The undermentioned will no longer work when you have switched from the Origin to the EA app
Pack System: Add pirated DLC’s to your legal Origin base game (Mac version)
When you have at least the Sims 4 base game via Origin you can add pirated DLC’s to your legal game for free. (Not sure that it also works for Steam)
You can get the legal base game for free from Origin now.
- Always automatically the latest version (Origin updates it for you)
- No problems with anti-virus (there are no cracks)
- Much smaller downloads (example: Cottage Living is now only 1.6 GB instead of 11,4 GB)
- Easier to add missing DLC’s for free
- Less problems with your CC
- Access to the Gallery
- No game-cracked folder
- No hassle with remid cookie
- Play via Origin/Steam as if you bought all expansions..
New DLC’s however must still be added manually (step 3), although much smaller in size. (example: Cottage Living now 11,4 GB, with this system only 1,6 GB)
Preparations in Origin
- Log in to your Origin account
- Click on the word Origin (left top bar)
- Click Application Settings
- Click Application
- In Client update: switch “Automatic game updates” and “Automatically update Origin” on – see picture below.
Now your game and Origin update whenever you start your The Sims 4
Find the location of your original (legal) game
The packs should be in:
[Your home directory] > Applications > The Sims 4 Packs
What the home directory is called will depend on what your user/computer is called. To find it, you can use the Finder – it should be in the left hand menu with a little house icon. Otherwise you can also open the finder and press command + shift + H to open the home directory 
NB there is also a The Sims 4 folder in Documents > Electronic Arts (this is where saves go), as well as multiple other folders/shortcuts called ‘Applications’ which makes this all a little trickier than necessary!
As i don’t have a Mac i can’t try it out.
STEP 1
If you want to revert all changes. Run “delete entitlements.command” and re-download Origin app |
Example of downloaded and extracted Unlocker |
Things to remember:
When Origin updates repeat step 5.
When a game gets a new DLC re-download the Unlocker and repeat step 6.
When a game gets a new update you don’t have to do absolutely anything.
From now on every time you want to play the game:
0. Exit Origin if it’s running.
1. Start Origin (you MUST be online).
2. Select Origin > Go Offline.
3. Start the game.
4. Try going online, you can do it from Origin in-game overlay. If that removes the DLCs repeat the process and stay offline.
5. Enjoy your game!
STEP 2 (Optional)
- When you already have cracked DLC’s in another folder, copy the EP’s, GP’s and SP’s only to the folder of your legal game
- When Origin updates repeat step 5 of Step 1
When a game gets a new DLC re-download the Unlocker and repeat step 6 of Step 1. - Play the game via the legal installation folder – Game ->Bin ->TS4_x64 or shortcut thereof.
Added information by Mac user Lamp (thank you for sharing)
For those who are struggling to add DLC’s to their game, here’s an easier way of understanding:
- Make sure you’ve repeated “STEP 1” for the DLC Unlocker
- Download chosen DLC’s (via https://sims.tarac.nl/direct-links-to-packs/) and extract the folder from the .iso file* (e.g. SP35)
- Locate your ‘The Sims 4 Packs’ folder:
a. Open Finder and do: Shift + Command + H
b. Click on ‘Applications’
c. Locate ‘The Sims 4 Packs’ folder, if missing create a new folder with the exact name - Drag your DLC folder (e.g. SP35) into ‘The Sims 4 Packs’ folder
- Download the DLC Unlocker again and run: “fix OriginClient.command”
- Open Origin and go to: Account > Go Offline (in the menu bar)
- Open your Sims 4 game
*Double click the .iso file and drag out the folder from the window
** Right-Click File > Open With > Terminal
NOTE:
• You must repeat steps 4-5 in order to add new DLC’s to your game
• Steps 6-7 must be repeated every time you want to open your game to play with DLC’s and/or with online features
• If your DLC’s haven’t appeared in-game, restart Origin and repeat step 6

MAC USERS ONLY
Alright, so it seems that some people have been having issues downloading the new pack. First of all, it’s best to install the LATEST version of the unlocker:
https://krakenfiles.com/view/MMYpp57LoC/file.html
-because the unlocker has been recently updated. The DLCs are not up to download individually on the website anymore, so an option is to download a torrent client. It’ll help you open .torrent files on Mac. I recommend Transmission as it is a simple and easy for beginners torrent client for Mac.
If you don’t want to download through torrent, you can download all of the DLCs in one folder here: https://mega.nz/folder/9fxE2Yja#r1_QL2xVG2sAS7kE5bNCzw
OR If you want to download individual DLCS, you can download them here: https://tonyhimself.stackstorage.com/s/e9QYV9GgLawHUCgk/en_US?dir=&node-id=23629
*By the way, once the downloads of the DLCs are complete, you’ll have to extract those as .rar files. In order to extract .rar files on Mac, download The Unarchiver on the app store.
In order for:
EP13: Growing Together
EP14: Horse Ranch
SP40: Greenhouse Haven Kit
SP41 Basement Treasures Kit
SP42: Grunge Revival Kit
SP43: Book Note Kit
-to show up in your game, you have to go to Applications, Shift + Command H, click on the Applications folder, right click on TS4, show package contents, and drag them in the contents folder.
The rest of the DLCs can be simply added into The Sims 4 Packs folder.
So, in order for the DLCs to work in your game, you have to:
1. Download Origin DLC Unlocker *recent updated version.
2. Right click on fix.OriginClientcommand and click open. Press a key and Origin Client will be fixed.
3. Right click on add.fakeentitlementscommand and press open. Complete the first instructions provided. After the first instructions are complete, press 2. Then press another key to finish the command.
4. *VERY IMPORTANT* Run fix. OriginClientcommand again. Make sure you press a key to finish the command.
5. Open Origin as ONLINE and go to your profile. Click on TS4, then at the top left of your screen Click Account and then Go Offline.
6. Open TS4 as online. The packs should now work in the game.
If it still doesn’t work, you might have to run the deleteenitlements.command and uninstall TS4 AND Origin. Then you’d have to redo all of the instructions. Pain in the ass to install the sims again I know, but it’ll be a fresh copy.
OR, you can try to go to Documents > Electronic Arts and drag The Sims 4 folder to your desktop. Run TS4 as offline. The packs should refresh and you’ll always have a backup of your mods/CC if you play with them.
Hopefully it works for someone! ❤️
STEP 3 (Add missing DLC’s)
|
Commented by Anna:
Wow this worked like a charm, thank you so much!! In STEP 3 (Add missing DLC’s) I struggled to find where my legal game packs are installed, so I thought I’d share what I found in case anyone else is having the same issue: The packs should be in: What the home directory is called will depend on what your user/computer is called. To find it, you can use the Finder – it should be in the left hand menu with a little house icon. Otherwise you can also open the finder and press command + shift + H to open the home directory NB there is also a The Sims 4 folder in Documents > Electronic Arts (this is where saves go), as well as multiple other folders/shortcuts called ‘Applications’ which makes this all a little trickier than necessary! |
STEP 4 (add future DLC’s to your game)
- Download the torrent for the new DLC
- Extract by double-click
- Copy the downloaded and extracted folder to your legal The Sims 4 folder
- re-download the Unlocker and repeat step 5 of Step 1
As you don’t have to worry about amendments in the folders __Install, Data, Delta, Game, Support (Origin does that for you) all you have to do is copy the extracted EP, FP, GP or SP folder from the download to your legal installation folder.
Presume the next DLC will be SP42 then, instead of downloading several GB, it will be restricted to maybe 250 MB)
For just (Pre-)Updates you do not need anything at all. Just play the game and it will be automatically updated to the latest version.
3 methods for adding DLC’s: Suitable for Windows and Mac
| Download via torrents (selectable) in Winrar format | All DLC’s in 1 iso download | Direct downloads (.iso format) |
|
|
|
Simple way of installing all 18 languages in one go
Please bear in mind that when you installed the game via Origin only 1 language is available, meaning that when you installed in English you cannot change to f.e. Norwegian.
In such cases you’ll have to re-install the game in Norwegian in Origin.
Also downloads from many other sources are often in 1 language only (such as English or Spanish)
In our downloads all languages are already installed.

I’ve figured out how to use the Anadius tools and my game can get the packs working offline, but I’m wondering if it’s safe for me to go online? There was a “warning” that said not to go online if you have purchased games, and I have over 20 of the sims 4 packs bought legally. Can I go online safely having these?
Does anyone know if I can delete the .iso files of the packs after I mount them? they take up a lot of space
all you need is the game file (EP01) when you move it into ‘The Sims 4 Packs’ you can delete the rest
I don’t know what happend to the game, but after i switched to the ea app and trying the anadius ea app unlocker (which is working perfectly btw) my sim can’t go to sleep to the bed. They all just start sleeping staying right in the same place, also they dont normally function with chairs and other furniture. I’ve done everything already, i delited the mods folder, i changed the save file, i started the new game, it is remaining. Does anybody know what is going on?
How did you get the ea app unlocker to work?
you have to follow the instructions when you get anadius tools
same, I looked all over but I have no idea how to get my game to work! My sims wont go to bed or follow any commands but it says they are doing it.
hey so i see that some people on mac are forced to install ea app but for some reason i didnt get it yet
same it’s still not available for me yet
Dunno know if y’all know it but anadius just made an “unlocker” for TS4 using EA on Mac
I’m gonna leave the link of his website and instructions down there
https://anadius.su/dlc-unlockers
make a vid tutorial!
thank youuu!
hey your anadiius link is not working
hey your anadius link is not working
hi i downloaded it from this link and the file opened in Textedit . (I opened it in the terminal and an error was displayed) you know how to do it right?
Dear Anadius!
Thank you very much for making it possible for us Mac users to play Sims 4 with your EA unlocker!
Guys, download Anadius tools and run Sims 4 updater, and Sims 4 DLC unlocker and you can play with no issues!
which unlocker we have to download? V1 or V2? im confused, it still says v2 is for windows EA, v1 is for mac origin
nevermind, didn’t saw the new section about ea for mac:’)
Not sure how long this will work but here’s what worked for me to avoid installing EA App and continue using Origin:
With Origin closed, change the Mac OS clock to March 1st, 2024. Then open Origin and do as you usually do.
This is working!!! Thank you too much!
Omg yes!! thank you so much ahh
I have tried various ways to play with the DLC as before since the popup forced me to switch to the EA app, but none of them worked.
but thanks to Elliquis I finally found a way to make it work.
I am not good at English so I use a translation app to write my sentences.
I’ll share how I got it to work, even though it may include some work that isn’t necessary.
1. delete the EA app if you have it.
2. re-download origin if it has disappeared.
3. change the Mac OS clock to March 1st, 2024
4．Execute [fix OriginClient.command] with both origin and the game closed.
5. please leave the system settings open so that you can quickly return to the clock settings.
6. Open origin and take origin offline.
7. Start sims, but before going to the main menu screen, reset the mac clock to automatic.
This method has worked for me.
I think the important thing is step 7.
If you set the clock back before starting sims, sims will not start, so as soon as sims starts, open the system settings from the Dock and set the clock back to automatic.
I would hate to go back to sims without the DLC, so I think I will leave sims running for a while.
So please understand that I have not tried this method repeatedly.
I hope it works for everyone.
it isn’t working for me 🙁
when i try to do add fake entitlements command it says “Couldn’t find entitlement files, you were supposed to start the game!”
when i open the sims it says i dont have the dlc, even though i’ve had it before. does anyone know how to help??
Set your mac date back to March 1st then open Origin and make sure you’re online, open the Sims while you’re still online then exit the game and quit origin (command+q). Run fix OriginClient.command then run the fake entitlements
OH super ! tu nous sauve la vie <3 merci beaucoup !
I’m going to miss Sims. 🙁 I really wish Anadius creates an Unlocker for the EA app. 🙁
We beg you Anadius please we want to unlock it for the EA app
Ok so for the mac people I found a way to still use the origin dlc unlocker even after switching to the EA app. It’s a bit of an annoying process to go through but for now I can still play the game with all the DLCs so it’s better than nothing I guess.

10. Go offline on ea app
11. Open sims
12. Play with DLC!
anyway hope this helps someone, i know its a lot of steps but like i said better than nothing i guess.
Maybe I’m somehow fucking this up, but unfortunately it’s not working for me. 🙁
make sure you also run the fix origin client command after re-downloading origin! that could possibly be the reason
Sigh, it’s still ot working for me. I think I’ll just accept my fate lol.
@BethTS4 Download the Wineskin version from nmac.to
The sims + the DLC work for me. I was also able to find my game. The game will be slightly slower but it’s okay
yeah, not working for me either. I’ll try to redownload origin and all that, along with some of the DLC.
it doesn’t work we are still forced to use EA app
me too I can’t even do anything on origin without being forced to go to EA
I will try this thank you
Could you make a yt tutorial? or Video?
here’s a link to a tutorial i just made
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/7nym6rl8d776q9b2dvbvd/Tutorial-1.mp4?rlkey=kgmpg4v4t4pgpgwhdrivetv2g&dl=0
it says the file was deleted 🙁
doesn’t work for me even though I followed all the steps… I guess we just have to pray for another solution
it makes me laugh thinking about God listening to you pray to him about illegally downloading sims packs
it says multiple EA accounts found? what do i do about that?
it doesn’t work for me
Hello, so for people who have switched to the EA application, apparently, you can still play sims with extensions. You just have to go to the site https://nmac.to/the-sims-4/#google_vignette And to download the version « Wineskin ».
Besides, Anadius has just exactly indicated it
If you want more information, go to the comments. I haven’t downloaded it yet because I still have origin, but apparently it works.
This is not a good solution. That version of the game is through emulation and NOT native. So you will have less performance. Also, Anadius is being so rude with the way he made that announcement.. like dude take a chill pill..
The wineskin version works well on my side. Either you download it or you buy the DLC directly…
Guys, help, I did everything exactly how I was supposed to, all the DLCs are working but my sims don’t use any type of CC furniture… how can i fix it?
So glad this still works. I am still using Origin app. Had to remove SP13 because all my sims were just standing around and glitching. Now everything is smooth. So glad I found this site!!
Origin forced me to switch to the EA App and the DLC Unlocker is not working on MAC. Do you guys have any solutions? 🙁
Does anyone have a solution yet?
Hi everyone, I just saw a post from the person that created the DLC Unlockers, he explained he will not be doing an EA App Unlocker for Mac 🥲
Oh no… Did they say why? I won’t be able to play anymore ever 🙁
Okay, I found this video on YT that’s a tutorial on how to open the sims on origin without the EA app popup:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzmY3fcJAgo
it didn’t work for me, since I had already uninstalled the Origin app after the EA app popup, so I still have to download the game, which isn’t possible because of the popup. I don’t know if the Origin Unlocker will work, because I can’t open the game, but if any of you find an workarounds, please share them
The same happened to me, but i searched ‘origin’ in finder and found out i still had the origin installation file. I deleted the EA app and re-installed origin with the file i already had so now i have origin on my mac again. Just check if you still have the origin installation file somewhere and it might work for you too!
I’m using a Mac and I have the dlc cas etc but I can’t go into the dlc worlds. I can only go into the 3 base game worlds. Anyone know how to fix thissss 🙁
Did you switch to the EA app? If so, the issue is because the EA Unlocker doesn’t work on Mac. That’s the problem all of us are trying to solve 🙁
I have a old Mac so I still use origin, but maybe it’s because I have to switch ea.
MAC users:
Hey, is there already any link to download the EA DLC Unlocker for macs? The one above has no files that run in Mac OS (mine is 14.3). I’ve already mounted the DLC iso files and copied them to the installation folder but I can’t proceed with the unlocker as there are only .bat and .sh files. Was someone able to solve this?
me to
me too 🙁
I have tried to open the .bat file type but I didn’t find any way to do so on mac so now all my packs are gone and I only have the base game. If someone has a solution please share.
Same problem here hopefully there will be a solution
I have the same problem. All my DLC are gone. I have them on my external hard drive, but my EA App does not recognize them.
I need help with this as well please help
I have the same issue
My expansions haven’t worked since the last Origin update. Please Tarac help us
MAC users:

Hi, can someone please help me?
So downloading the DLCs on Mac is completely different with Windows? I still have to download the DLCs folder separately, whereas in Windows I can just use the Updater.
Please someone help confirm.
correct
hiii! when following the “add fake entitlements.command” and trying to open Sims 4 I simply cannot. It says that “ClientFullBuild0.package” is broken and the game cant open. What can i do to fix this??
Let the Origin app repair your game
Hi my game keeps saying download to use but ive run the add fake entitlements command and fix origin command.
What do I do?
Hi, when I go in game all of the create a sim is broken (red and white question marks) – I have no mods/CC and have ‘repaired’ the game loads of times – I also re-downloaded the unlocker and have deleted SP13 – please help
My male sims are completely invisible in the sims … anyone else has this problem? Ive uninstalled the new crystal pack
Does anyone have the DLC unlocker for Mac? I clicked on the link but it’s down and i cant seem to find it if i look on google for it.
Use the V1 version on this page
The Origin update is not letting the DLCs load. It was working well before that. I did steps 5, 6, and then 5 again multiple times already but still nothing. Helpppp!
I had the same problem. I ended up having to reset my Origin with the download from this link: https://help.ea.com/en/help/origin/origin/how-to-reset-origin-on-mac/
then I had to redo the unlocker and now I have everything back.
hii , after resetting Origin did you delete origin and re-downloaded all packs? Could you please explain the passages since I’m stuck on this exact problem :,( thx
I am having an issue that I haven’t seen in the comments, my dlcs are all working but when I try to play my sim won’t move. Like build buy and cas work, but not gameplay 🙁 anyone know how to fix that?
I have the same problem, did you manage to repair your game? If so, how please?
I have this exact problem like Maria
i have the same issue my sims won’t move or do anything at all, has anyone found a solution?
Looks like a problem with outdated mods
so what i have to do?
I believe you have to delete the laundry day stuff pack
Remove the Laundry DLC. I think is number 13. Had the same issue.
did you get it to work? I have the same problem. I deleted everything and trying to redownload. Someone said there is an emergency pack for this but I can’t find it.
me pasa exactamente lo mismo, no sé que hacer.
I did this a few months ago and it worked fine. Went to open the game again and suddenly none of the DLC was there. So I uninstalled everything (including running the delete entitlements command), deleted it all off my Macbook, and reinstalled. Followed all steps. Game loads but none of the DLC is showing up at all. Any ideas?
Never mind, figured it out – the issue was the same as alex’s with the fix command not working properly. Gave the terminal app full permissions and now it works!
Except I still don’t have access to:
EP For Rent
SP Home Chef Hustle
SP Goth Galore Kit
SP Castle Estate Kit
SP Modern Luxe Kit
SP Poolside Splash Kit
like jeivee…
u mnie zadziałało użycie tego https://gofile.io/d/0QzIal. najpierw dodałam fałszywe uprawnienia Origin a potem gry
I found out how to get For Rent and the other stuff packs showing. I used this link for the unlocker and my packs showed up !!! https://gofile.io/d/0QzIal
Could it be the new sims update ? None of my DLC are working either . I hope they didn’t patch it
HIII I NEEEEED HELP
when I enter my game it shows all packs as owned but whenever I go to play/create a sim it shows only the base game, please someone tell me how to fix it.
my email is [email protected]
SOS
Hi! I have the same problem. Tried to redownload the unlocker several times and did the steps again but nothing. When I open the game it says that I have all the DLC’s but I can’t play with them. Did you manage to fix it?
I have the same issue any fix for this yet please
did you get a solution? same thing is happening to me
I have followed each step and am able to load DLCs into my game but the problem is the game itself doesn’t work right. I can still build and create a sim without any issues but once I play with the sims they won’t move. Like they’re stuck even after I debug them with cheats, they still won’t move. help. 🙁
I’m having the exact same problem 🙁
J’ai un Mac pour la première fois et j’essaye d’installer les dlc que je n’ai pas (j’ai le jeu légal et quelques pack originaux) mais quand je passe à la première étape le Unlocker, avec fix.OriginClientcommand ça me dit qu’il y a une erreur et à partir de là j’ai beau suivre toutes les étapes les dlc ne sont pas sur mon jeu car le Unlocker ne fonctionne pas et j’ai tout désinstallé mais ça ne change rien, aidez moiii svp
translation : I have a Mac for the first time and I’m trying to install the DLCs that I don’t have (I have the legal game and some original packs) but when I go to the first step of the unlocker, with fil. OriginClientcommand it tell me that there is an error and from there I follow all the steps but the dlc are not on my game because the unlocker doesn’t work and I uninstalled everything but that doesn’t change anything, help me please
Salut ! Si je ne me trompe pas, c’est le même problème que celui que j’ai eu. Je l’avais résolu en autorisant le terminal a faire des modifications. Voici ma réponse initiale, le tuto est anglais mais très clair.
I was having a similar problem and found the answer. I had to authorize the terminal to make changes. To do that I had to follow the instructions written here https://osxdaily.com/2018/10/09/fix-operation-not-permitted-terminal-error-macos/
J’espère que ça résout ton problème
NEED HELP!!
I’ve done everything already but certain packs are still not showing. I don’t know if I’m doing anything wrong.
These are the packs that won’t show up:
EP For Rent
SP Home Chef Hustle
SP Goth Galore Kit
SP Castle Estate Kit
SP Modern Luxe Kit
SP Poolside Splash Kit
Please help
SAMEEEE, I have no idea why these packs won’t show up but it’s the same for me, For Rent worked ONCE. Then never showed up again
Same. I wonder if there’ll be an update for these packs.
same
Also having this issue with those exact packs! Will try using the trick from Xova (copying them to contents folder instead) and get back to you on this thread.
Just tried the contents trick and it didn’t work… Hopefully there will be a fix for it soon!
im not sure if you guys figured it out but i just repeated the steps a bunch of times using a new unlocker each time (i used this one https://gofile.io/d/0QzIal) and it ended up working for all these packs that are having issues! hope it works for you guys too xx
I have the sims 4 downloaded onto a hard drive as my mac lacks storage and have been trying to get the origin dlc unlocker to work for days with no luck. Does anyone know how to do it???
What works for me is first running the “add fake entitlements.command” then the “fix OriginClient.command” but when you open Origin make sure your account is offline for it to work!
I’m a bit desperate, I tried everything! Since I downloaded the first time For Rent it destroyed the game. I had to reinstall everything and now I have question marks, red and white on the sims, multi colors in some objects,…
I uninstalled everything, repaired the game etc… anyone else?
This is probably caused by outdated mods.
Hi! So I did all the steps, and when I opened the game it apparently worked, all the packs and kits appeared as mine and as if I bought everything. Problem is when I started playing, none of them appeared, it’s just the base game. Somebody had this same problem? Can anybody help me with this issue? thx in advance
Me pasó lo mismo, y en los packs aparece: “Requiere Los Sims 4 y todas las actualizaciones del juego. Consulta los requisitos mínimos del sistema para el pack”. Pero mi sims y origin esta actualizado…
The same thing happened to me, and in the packs it appears: “It requires The Sims 4 and all the updates of the game. Check the minimum system requirements for the pack.” But my sims and origin is updated…

U mnie tak samo 🙁
Daj znać jak rozwiążesz problem

I’m having issues with my saved game, every time I save and then open the game again I can’t find my family unit or if I can I’m taken to the worlds page and not in the actual home/world where my family lives.
I tried to remove all of my mods and the problem is still there, what do I do?
Can anyone help me? I already searched the internet but I didn’t found a solution. Whenever I try to run addfakeentitlements, it always says: syntax error: invalid arithmetic operator (error token is “.”)
Does anybody know what it means or what I can do to fix it, I really want to play the sims again with DLC’s
it worked! I had to uninstall everything and do it all over again, all packs show up, except For rent. Anyone knows how to fix it???
I’ve reinstalled it again 2x and I still can’t get it to work. It worked before so not sure whats wrong. Any help? Whenever i go offline, and try start sims it says it closed unexpectedly

so it works!!… kinda? it says that all of the packs have been preordered but not downloaded yet. like I’ve purchased and technically own all of them but I can’t use them yet? I don’t know what to doooo someone pls help!!
okay update :
I had to go to another website https://sims.tarac.nl/direct-links-to-packs/ which I would recommend searching if you have a different issue from me because there are a lot of responses!
But if you were in my boat this is what the comment says:
What I did:
Downloaded the pack iso. File
Mounted it (double clicked on it to reveal a folder named EP15)
Put that folder (EP15) into the installation folder (for me at least: shift+command+h —> Applications—> right clicked the sims 4–> show package contents—-> contents —-> put the folder in here)( open with—-> terminal
Now make sure you’ve QUIT origin not just closed it. There shouldn’t be a small dot under app on the dock if you’re on Mac. If there is then right click the app and press quit or force quit.
Then do what’s in the terminal. I think that’s included clicking any key on your keyboard. Number 2 for The Sims4
And then maybe another key to finish the command.
Quit terminal. Go back into origin. Account—-> go offline. And finally…. Open sims. Fingers crossed it works for everyone Applications—> right clicked the sims 4 (bc my mac is a bit newer this is where I really got lost. this person is not referring to ‘the sims 4 packs’ folder but the actual game with the iconic icon, and if your mac is newer you may nee to right click with too fingers) –> show package contents—-> contents —-> put the folder in here)
then follow the rest of the instructions (which I think is the terminal stuff)
I hope that helped and im not a super techy person myself but it works (after 3 solid days whooo!!!)
wait that was really confusing after rereading. so if your problem is with all the packs saying download to use then:
Applications—> Right-click the Sims 4 (bc my Mac is a bit newer so this is where I really got lost. this person is not referring to ‘the sims 4 packs’ folder but the actual game with the iconic icon, and if your Mac is newer you may need to right-click with two fingers) –> show package contents—-> contents —-> put the folder in here) (P.S DO NOT PUT THE DLC FOLDER IN JUST THE ACTUAL CONTENT IN IT)
then follow the rest of the instructions (which I think is the terminal stuff)
do you paste & replace the files with the same name?
hey, so do I need to do this with all the packs? because all of mine show “download to use”
I can’t even get the iso files to download on my Mac is there another website?
Try https://gofile.io/d/K0RdIL
Is For Rent working for anyone here ? I’ve tried several times to install it, in different ways explained above but It won’t work.
It’s not working for me either. I’ve tried twice and it’s shows it’s not owned, but ones I didn’t install say ‘download to use’.
Hey, did you find a way to make it work??
where to find the newest DLC Unlocker v1
I wanted to only download certain packs. I followed all the steps but when I open Sims it doesn’t show me my new packs. When I go to ‘My Packs’ and I click on the pack I downloaded it shows a greyed out button. It is greyed out and says you already own this pack and then in red it says requires the Sims 4 and all game updates. I’m not sure what to do.
I have the exact same problem ! I had the sims 4 legally downloaded on origin and I wanted to add all the extension packs and kits. It now says I do own them all on the game but none of them work since they “require the sims 4 and all game updates”. I tried updating the game on origin and origin itself but both are shown to be fully updated. I don’t know what to do, someone please help !
I moved everything to the Contents folder and now it works (except for For Rent)!
I had the same problem and thanks to you, it works!!!!!! thxxxxxxx
what i ended up doing: fully redownloaded origin + my legal game, plus the packs I have legally. took some time, but then I redid the fix origin command, fake entitlements, and went offline. i know its not a quick fix but it worked for me <3 for some reason, I had two sims 4 packs folders, and once I was able to find the current one the game was using, I moved all the DLC to that and everything is going smoothly.
i am having the same problem! if you find a fix lmk!
Worked! Tks.
I was having a problem a few others had with CAS having red question marks and unclickable plots and found a solution.
What I did to fix this was to completely switch my The Sims 4 folder (a copy I accidentally had from before with the same saves and all) and replaced all packs that were downloaded using the torrent into the individual downloads. My problem was I was using two different methods to get the packs and it bugged my game out for a while.
im having the same issue and i don’t understand sorry could u elaborate?my files for the packs are in the sims4 packs which is then in the sims 4 folder
I’m pretty sure thats how its supposed to be. You do not have to switch your sims folder, I don’t think, but I did it for a fresh start so nothing got left behind.
I was saying, all the packs that were in The Sims 4 Packs folder that were downloaded with the torrent, I deleted and replaced them for the individual link packs.
I don’t understand what you mean by replacing all packs into the individual downloads? I have been having this problem with the red question marks, uncklickable lots and not being able to use the phone or click anything in the menu and I have no clue how to fix it. All the packs show up in my game but most of the furniture also has a weird texture with question marks and some are unplaceable due to not having a placement grid, I don’t understand what I need to do in order for the game to work properly :<
So for me, the torrent simply wasnt working after Horse Ranch came out. Before, all my packs were taken and mounted from there (the torrent) and it worked fine until the empty plots and red question marks.
Fixing it, I took out all the packs that were downloaded from the torrent, deleted them and replaced them with the individual packs and now my game works fine.
Hope this helps.
I haven’t been able to get my game to open (I’m on Mac) since for rent came out. Once I downloaded it from here I can’t get sims to open. It says application not responding. It’s been like this for weeks. I’ve tried everything someone please help!!!
hi, ive install everything like told . But when I ask my sims to do an action like fishing, I doesn’t work, I can cus and build completely fine but cant magane to do any gameplay
Hi, sometimes this is an issue with the packs. For me, my sims would go to do an interaction and then never stop dancing. It was an issue with the laundry day pack (SP13), after removing it, everything worked normal. Other people have said Eco Lifestyle also does this, so try removing that as well (EP9). If neither of them are causing the problem, you might have to experiment with other packs.
Hi, have you had an issue with question marks and red and white showing up on the sims in Cas every time I delete and reinstall? That is what always showed up, and I don’t know how to fix it.
hi im in the same boat did you fix it? my sims wont move lol
I cant go online anymore on origin even after running the uninstall and reinstalling, fu and your crap app.
you can go online and search reset origin which downloads like a resetter. i’ve been at this for around four days and I had that issue (which I think I figured out why but i’m not amazing at explaining things) but that worked for me if you still wanted to get the packs bc it does work!!
Everytime I try to run the “fix OriginClient.command” it says something like ” Multiple Origin installations found, the script cannot continue:
/Applications/Origin.app/Users/myname/Library/Group Containers/group.com.apple.notes/Accounts/and then a bunch of other numebrs” but when I run the add fake entitlements.command, that command works just fine. When I go in the game it says I don’t own the packs though. I don’t know what to do : (
I have the same problem, do u have any solution?
Hi, I installed the dlc and when I open the game the items appear with question marks and purple. can anyone help me please
same thing here. have you been able to fix it?
If you are downloading the packs from Mega, then I recommend using the second link instead, because I had the same problem until I downloaded the packs from the https://tonyhimself.stackstorage.com/s/k2zSEpKwCCyRqJEx link.
Hiya! Is anyone having any issues with listing on Plopsy, I’ve tried the last couple of days but it just reset my sims when I try to click “List on Plopsy”.
I don’t have the Dust SP installed, but I do have the Laundry Day SP installed but everything else works with Laundry being installed… Do I need to uninstall Laundry..? It’s not a big deal if I do need to uninstall it, I don’t need to use Plopsy but thought I would try it out.
anyone else having trouble with horse ranch and for rent? they were working fine, but now the pack covers are blue, and the worlds and any of the cas/bb items do not show, even though it is showing I own the packs. I have rerun/redownloaded the unlocker and the packs. also my sims that are wearing those pack items still have them on, but it shows up as base game.
since the new for rent pack i cant open the gallery anymore, does anyone else has this problem?
Rent and online gallery worked for me at least at the beginning, but now, my sims4 crashes every time I try to connect online gallery.
I can’t even open my game. I’m on Mac and it says that “application not responding” and I have to force quit. I updated all of my mods and cc and if I take all of them out of the sims 4 folder the game will open up. ive downloaded all the packs over and over again and I can’t play with mods or cc. could the packs and all of the cc conflict?
I’ve been having this issue too, super frustrating!
I’m with the same problem, the mods and cc could conflict with the packs or something, but I didn’t have any answer about that!
the packs i downloaded worked but my sims are acting super glitchy and not really doing anything when i play now? 🙁
me too. my sims just stand there and don’t do anything I tell them to. were you able to fix it?
same! driving me crazy
delete laundry and dust pack. i had that problem where my sims do not respond to anything. it worked instantly.
this worked. omg thank you
THIS!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Does someone know if it interferes with the mc command centre mod?
it doesn’t, but I’d update it to the newest version just to be safe
for rent does not show up in my game. ive downloaded the newest unlocker, ive done all the steps and every other pack shows up. what else am I doing wrong?
lmk if you figure this out! I’m having the same issue.
in order for for rent to show up, y’all have to download the update file, copy the EP 15 folder to sims 4 packs, and ALSO copy the files from inside the installer folder and paste them into the installer folder that’s in the sims 4 packs folder. Then run dlc unlocked (newest version) as normal. After a few days I finally figured it out! 😭🙏🏾
Hey, so sorry for bothering you, but what do you mean exactly by saying “copy the files from inside the installer folder and paste them into the installer folder that’s in the sims 4 packs folder”? As you said, first I take the EP15 folder and place it inside the The Sims 4 Packs, but what do I have to do after that….?
Inside the Sims 4 Packs folder there should be a “_installer” folder. Copy all of the folders from the Sims 4 Packs folder (cmd + a, cmd + c) then paste (cmd + v) them into the _installer folder as well.
I did it but sadly it still doesn’t work DD;
i followed all the instructions carefully but whenever i launch sims it says that i own all the packs but when i go in game they don’t show up. how do i fix this please?
I have the same issue! Were you able to fix it?
yes, it turns out i needed to download all packs and put them in the installer folder (i initially only wanted to download 5 specific packs because i didn’t want my laptop to overheat/slow down, but i had no choice but to install everything). they work now except for the latest for rent pack. trying to figure that out yet
I am having the same problem here.
I redownloaded every pack I wanted and now when I open the game up, it says that I don’t own the packs. I did all the steps right but nothing is working. I also downloaded the newest unlocks.
I have the same problem. Where you able to solve it?
same thing with me! i decided to uninstall everything and redo all the steps but the same thing happened again, i honestly dont know how to fix this ive tried everything, if anyone has a similar problem please let me know!
I need help!! I was able to successfully install all the packs but every time I go into CAS all of the packs (except for the ones I previously purchased) are showing that I don’t own them. When I go to the home screen it shows that I own all the packs. I’m completely lost on how to fix this. I play on Mac btw. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. TIA 🙂
hi, I’m having the same problem were u able to fix it?
So I downloaded the new For Rent gamepack and idk if it’s the packs fault or any other dlc’s but every time I try to play with any family, the game just loads again into world management. I play on a Mac btw, please help :((
So I deleted the pack and it still didn’t work, later on deleted all dlc’s also checked if any mods caused this problem and they didn’t so anyone help lol
is anyone else having a problem with add fake entitlements.command? every time i try to run it, it keeps saying origin is still running even though the app is closed. what can i do to fix this?
Every pack instead of For Rent, Poolside Splash(?), and Modern Luxe shows up in the game, any ideas? To make things funnier, Grunge Revival and Booknook kit didn’t show up before the update, and poolside and modern luxe did, but they mixed it up lol
What I did was re-download the origin unlocker (the latest version which I think is dated december 7th). Download the For Rent .iso file, copied the extracted folder (EP15) to The sims 4 Packs folder, AND copied it to users/YourUser/Applications/ right click on The Sims 4 app, show package contents and pasted the EP15 folder on the “Delta” folder
this worked but the world wont show up and anytime i try to fill the vacancy on my unit it wont work.
This is happening to me with the packs you’ve listed, too!
Why does For Rent not show up in my Sims 4 game but all other packs do
I have the same issue 🙁
After putting the file in your game redo all these steps (also make sure you have the latest version of the unlocker):
1. Open Origin (if you see the “Origin Requires an Update” window – select the second option, “Update Origin”).
2. Open Origin settings (hover over your username, select “Application Settings”), scroll down and under “Client Update” disable “Automatically update Origin”.
3. Run the game.
4. Quit the game, quit Origin.
5. Run “fix OriginClient” script.
6. Run “add fake entitlements” script – skip the part that tells you to run the game, you already did it.
7. Open Origin – click “Don’t update and use Origin in offline mode”.
8. Run the game.
I do that everytime there’s a new pack and it works fine 🙂
Does anyone know how to fix the expansion packs after this new TS4 update? Origin keeps failing to finish the update and even when quitting Origin and trying to play offline my game is simply not recognizing any of my saved games.
Heyy i got a quick question, where can I run the “fix originclient” because there is no explanation for it
I already have it!
open it with terminal then just do what it says
right click on it then click open and then open anyways then run it by clicking return
.
If you’re on mac, you run it with the app Terminal
All of my packs are showing up as owned but when I go to worlds, San sequoia doesn’t show up. But all of my others one do even the new one I just downloadd.
¡AYUDA POR FAVOR!
Hago todos los pasos tal como se describen, y cuando mando ha hacer algo a alguno de mis sims, no se mueven.
¿Alguien me puede ayudar?
¡He resuelto mi problema!
Mi problema era que mis Sims no respondían a ninguna orden ni hacían nada y se quedaban parados.
Lo que ice fue sacar todos los DLC de la carpeta y ir metiendo uno a uno de nuevo mientras probaba el juego, es decir, media uno iba a la carpeta de Origin Unlocker y hacia todo, luego entraba al juego, y así todo el rato hasta poner todos. Los que a mi no me funcionan son el SP17 y el SP41.
Espero que le sirva a alguien.
A mi me ocurrió lo mismo, agregué 8 a la vez y ahora toca ver cuál es el que falla
HELP! SP 44,45,46
OS: Mac, Platform:Origin
Has anyone been successful intalling the SP 44-46? I am at a loss, I have been playing TS4 with this method for months now. I know the drill, and most of the troubleshooting stuff. I have read the suggestions in the comments too. and recent efforts lead me to drag my TS4 folder (from Docu) in my desktop, resulting to the deletion of my current game (which was suggested in the instruction, it refreshes the EPs etc). I spent hours figuring this out, I have wasted my thanksgiving break lol. Believe me, I think I tried everything in the comments.
What I’ve tried:
-SP 44-46 in the content folder
-SP 44-46 in packs folder
-cheked for updates
-deleted and reinstalled latest Unlocker
-Redownloaded the .iso for 44-46, mounted, moved to the folders.
-All the installation methods above, open origin and TS4 online, closed it, ran the unlocker (fix>add>fix), ran Origin > offlined > TS4. I did this several times everytime I moved the folders for 44-46.
Please let me know. I have a fixation problem. I just can’t move on lol.
I am having the same problem! did you find a solution>
My sim just walks and does not do any commands. I don’t know what happened. I spent half of my day installing DLCs. I guess I need to redo this again 🥲
Plz let me know if you fixed the problem or not
Figured it out.
https://sims.tarac.nl/direct-links-to-packs/
it’s mentioned laundry day Kit needs to be removed
Did you install the Laundry Day Stuff Pack? I had a similar issue and when I removed the Laundry Pack it fixed the problem.
Hi! I got it working the same day as well. All the comments were right, I removed Laundry and Dust SP. I initially removed laundry first, but there were some commands that didn’t work, so I decided to try and remove the Dust SP, then it worked properly. Thanks for your replies!

I have tried using this multiple times and every time I get the same problem. Whenever I use the fix origin command, my sims 4 doesn’t open at all. Is there any way to fix this?
Update : The game says I have the packs at the main screen but when I go in-game it says that I don’t have the packs. It even took away packs I’ve already owned.
check if you have more than one “the sims 4 packs” files, if you do remove the empty one. That should fix it, to make sure search instead of looking manually.
Still doesn’t work at all. Is it possibly because of the mods and cc I have?
(FOR MAC) Yes I had this issue and there were a few mistakes I made.
Dont make a new folder for your downloads just allow your computer to create it for you with your desktop, make sure you have moved your packs to your EA applications folder. FINALLY THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE FOR ME, when opening sims from origin, got to GAME LIBRARY then right click on sims 4 – or for Mac control – to open options menu then click PLAY. This should open it, worked for me. Just don’t forget to keep origin offline
I’m having the exact same issue right now!!! Did you ever figure out how to fix it??
Hi, I tried to set this up on my new mac and it doesn’t work. I did the procedure several times, deleting when it didn’t work and restarting the steps, but in my game, it says I have all the packs, but it will not let me actually use any of the content. When I did this the first time, it said it would download and give me a notification when it was done, but it never did and it says I own the content, but won’t show any of it in-game. Any solutions/ideas?
I’m having exactly the same problem too. No matter what I do the packs won’t show up in game 😔
you have to separately download the packs from the link provided to. they won’t download from the game.
I’m having the same exact problem! Even if I put in the direct downloads already and everything. Like is it possibly because I already bought some packs myself?
I’m having trouble with the horse ranch pack. When I try to adopt or buy a horse my sim just resets. The world is there but there are no horses. I have uninstalled and reinstalled EP14 as well as using the newest unlocker. Is it broken?
EP13: Growing Together
EP14: Horse Ranch
SP40: Greenhouse Haven Kit
SP41 Basement Treasures Kit
SP42: Grunge Revival Kit
SP43: Book Note Kit
These packs aren’t showing up in game, I followed the steps but for me the contents folder is under /Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4
with other folders like: cachestr, ConfigOverride, Custom Music, etc. Is this where it should be?
Because when I go to “Applications, Shift + Command H, click on the Applications folder, right click on TS4, show package contents, and drag them in the contents folder” as specified above, it leads me to “The Sims 4 Packs” folder and there is no option to show packages contents/there is no other folder in there.
—-
On a separate (maybe related) note, after using the DLC unlocker, all other packs/kits are working in game, but every EP/SP/GP folder now also shows up under /Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4 as well as under /Applications/The Sims 4 Packs
Should they be in both folders? I’m hesitant to delete them bc they’re working right now
Help 🙁
Nvm, got it to work!!!
Everything from those packs are now showing as owned and in my CAS and Buy/Build, WOOO!
I moved each folder (EP13, EP14, SP40-43) from the contents folder back to The Sims Packs 4 and realized what I was actually missing was:
after running “add fake entitlements.command” I was forgetting to
[Press any key to continue . . .] after pressing 2 for “2. The Sims 4”
I was seeing the
“Done! If the new DLC doesn’t show up – download the DLC Unlocker again and delete the current one.
From now on every time you want to play the game:
0. Quit Origin if it’s running. If you see the dot indicator below Origin app on the dock – open it and press Command+Q on your keyboard.
1. Start Origin (you MUST be online).
2. Select “Account” > “Go Offline”. It’s NOT the same as going invisible! “Account” menu is at the top of your screen.
3. Start the game.
4. Try going online, you can do it from Origin in-game overlay. If that removes the DLCs repeat the process and stay offline.
5. Enjoy your game!”
And NOT realizing that wasn’t the end of the process…hahaha…
Make sure you see “[Process completed]”
Hope this helps at least one person.
i can’t get the home hustle chef pack to show up on the game, i’ve done everything instructed here but nothing works, any solution?
same, have you resolved this?
I can’t make it work, every time I run the fix OriginClient.command it says:
command not found
Info to fix your OriginClient not found. Update Origin and try again. In case it doesn’t help – wait an hour or two. If you still see this message report this problem with following message:
Hashum:
I’ve already uninstalled and installed Origin and the Unlocker multiple times
hallo, do you success resolve this issue?
Hiya, I’m still having issues using my bought packs with the cracked packs. I enabled the packs on origin, re-downloaded the unlocker and went through that process but when I load the game and go into a save file the sim glitches out (e.g. I select the toilet and they do their business but it’s still censored and they begin washing their hands at the toilet), and my MCC comes up with a ‘last exception’ notification.
I don’t know what to do, it only happens when I enable the packs on origin. Is it happening from something I’m doing wrong? Or is the game just not having it lol.
I managed to get it working, the problem was the Laundry Day Stuff Pack. I kept that pack disabled on Origin and loaded up the game. I didn’t get a notification from MCC and I had no glitches. If you have the Laundry Day Pack and your game isn’t working REMOVE IT, it will work after it’s removed.
Help, my The Sims 4 Packs folder is missing. What can I do?
Hey, do you know why when I pick number 2 it says origin.app or the sims 4 not found when I do the unlocker.
Are you looking under users>(insert user)>applications?
New folder, same name ” The Sims 4 Packs”
every time I add the packs into my game my sims start dancing and they don’t move, I have done all the steps correctly but when I take the packs out my sims are normal again..? does anybody know why this is?
You can just make a new one, as long as it has the same exact name it works the same.
Are you on Mac or Win
Had the same issue on Mac turns out mine doesnt show me the folder unless i actively search for it
Just search on Finder on the ‘on this mac’ setting
or windows ‘this pc’ type in ‘the sims 4 packs’
should be sown then
If you first ever try to install the dlcs the folder isnt always per default there just open the Sims 4 game folder and create ‘The Sims 4 Packs’ folder and put all the dlcs in should be working
🙂
Hello, i saw that EA is going to replace the origin app with EA app for mac users. how will this effect the current origin unlocker? I’m very curious
ok so it says I own the packs but I need to download them how do I do that pls help
take them all out and put them in one by one. after you put each one in, run the fake entitlements command. it’s very tedious but that’s how you do it.
I have the DLC unlocker installed, all the pack files are unzipped and I took them out of the packs folder one by one and ran addfakeentitlements.command every time I added one in. I opened the game in offline mode and it still says my packs need to be installed, even my bought ones. I’m at a loss here.
Make sure you dont have 2 “The sims 4 packs” folders by searching, if you do have multiple remove all the empty ones and make sure the one you have left have that exact name and no extra numbers or letter as the game looks for a folder with that exact name.
Make sure you just have ONE “The sims 4 packs” folders by searching, if you do have multiple remove all the empty ones and make sure the one you have left have that exact name and no extra numbers or letter as the game looks for a folder with that exact name.
here’s the link:

Hi! There is no link for direct downloads 🙁 How can I get the new SP? Please help.
Is anyone having issues with the Home Chef Hustle Stuff pack. I don’t know where to download the pack anymore.I go to the page that was used before to download the packs individually but when I try to open it a pop comes up of flash player.I’ve also tried the other links(downloaded with torrent)and upon following the steps it’s still showing as not. own.I know I’m following the steps correctly because I have other packs that I’ve used with this unlocker.
cant run the packs. should i delete and completely redownload everything??? i already added fixed ran etc and redownloaded the dowloader etc idk what else to do
I’m still having issues using my bought packs with the cracked packs. I enabled the packs on origin, re-downloaded the unlocker and went through that process but when I load the game and go into a save the sim glitches out (e.g. I select the toilet and they do their business but it’s still censored and they begin washing their hands at the toilet), and my MCC comes up with a ‘last exception’ notification.
I don’t know what to do, it only happens when I enable the packs on origin. Is it happening from something I’m doing wrong? Or is the game just not having it lol.
having the same problem where sims start glitching or just lagging when packs are enabled :/
did you fix this? how
thanks Tarac! as always. Keep on simming. 😉
Did you get it to work?!
yes. the link on this page on Step 1 to Origin DLC Unlocker V1 is working.
hi Tarac! do you have another link for the Unlockr pls? SP46 isn’t showing in my game. tnx!
I’m having an issue where my sims won’t do anything even after resetting them. I click for them to do thing and the action just disappears. Can somebody help fix this if they have had this issue before ?
I have the same issue. what could be wrong with my game now?
I’m having the same issue, hope someone figures it out soon
Hello, did you have any answer regarding this problem ? i have the same one and I’ve tried everything it’s still not working …
j’espère que nous aurons bientôt une réponse car c’est triste de ne pas pouvoir jouer au jeu…
Bonjour, j’avais le même problème et lorsque j’ai enlevé le pack jour de lessive, je n’ai plus aucun problème. Mes sims fonctionnent parfaitement et j’ai même les derniers kits (44,45 & 46). J’espère que ça marchera pour vous.
me pasa lo mismo,
If you have the laundry day pack installed it can be that, try to remove it and then run your game again.
Bonjour, bonsoir,
les packs fonctionnent mais ils font beuguer mes sims (exemple dès que je leur dit de faire une action ils se mettent à danser et ne font donc aucune action) j’ai déjà tout essayer et je n’ai aucun mods ou cc.
Pouvez-vous m’aider s’il vous plait ?
Laundry pack est cassé il me semble. Vérifiez si vous l’avez télécharger, si oui enlevez le, si non je ne sais pas non plus.
Before I found this method to get the packs for free, I had purchased Seasons, Cats & Dogs, Get Famous, Laundry Day, Tiny Living and the Book Nook Kit. I have disabled them in Origin and downloaded the cracked version of them and put them in the folder with all my other packs, but they don’t show up. Do I have to enable them on origin for them to work?
Is there anything I can do to make them work? I really want to be able to play my legacy challenge family 🙁
You must run the Unlocker
I’m having a problem with the 2 new kits (SP44&SP45) not showing up in my game even though all of the other DLC does show up in my games (the other DLC was downloaded from the Megathread but these kits aren’t available there so I downloaded it from the ‘Qiwi’). Do you have to put the kits in ‘packs’ or in ‘contents’? Is there already an updated version of the Unlocker for the new kits? Is there anything else that is different with these kits that could explain way they don’t show up in my game?
You don’t have to disable the bought packs. Based on my experience they should not clash.
does someone have a link to the Unlocker pls? The link here isn’t loading and the one Xova shared (krakenfiles link) i think is outdated. help!
Hey, I have the same problem, does anyone knows how to solve it?
Hey, I have the same problem, can someone please help us?
Unlocker V1 (Mac): https://krakenfiles.com/view/O2wQ5zAPEJ/file.html
OMG! thank you, Tarax! it’s working now. You’re such a blessing.
Im using the origin Unlocker v2 but the newest chef pack isn’t loading into my game and the link for the Unlocker v2 is gone, am I supposed to use Unlocker v1 again, has something changed ? (I’m on Mac)
can I still use this link for SP46? tnxx.
I downloaded it, I followed the steps and it was going fine until I went into the sims 4. The packs are showing up as owned on the title screen under packs etc., but then I go in game to manage worlds and it tells me “World not installed. The Sims 4 _ has been pre-ordered and is not yet available for download”. What do I do? Help please.
I managed to fix the problem, I didn’t put the packs into the ‘contents’ folder. I will paste an old comment I followed which helped me fix my problem.

Hi, to anyone that needs help, ive managed to get the sims 4 all packs working as of May 27th along with the gallery.
If you have Origin and TS4 installed and the packs aren’t working, make sure you’ve quit both the applications if they’re open using Activity Monitor, or just use Command + Q.
Then download DLC Unlocker again, and right click on delete entitlements command. Open the terminal and do what it says.
After that, open Origin and uninstall TS4. Sometimes in order for all packs to work again you have to reinstall the whole game. After you uninstall TS4, quit Origin and delete Origin.
Google Origin and install it again. After you finish installing, if it tells you to update Origin, do so first. After that, hover over your profile, go to Application Settings, and under client update disable “Automatically update Origin.”
Reinstall TS4. Then run the game.
Quit the game, and then Origin. Right click and open “fix OriginClient” command, then right click and open “add fake entitlements script.” Press a key to continue and press 2. Then press another key to finish the command.
Go to applications, shift + command + H, click on the Applications folder, then go to the sims 4 packs folder. Download the dlc packs you want then drag it into the sims 4 packs folder.
**IN ORDER FOR GROWING TOGETHER (EP13), GREENHOUSE HAVEN KIT (EP40), BASEMENT TREASURES KIT (EP41) to show up in your game, you have to right click on TS4, show package contents, and put EP13, EP40, and EP41 into the contents folder.
Finally, make sure you quit Origin and run “fix OriginClient” command again. Then go to your profile, click on sims 4, and in the top left of your screen click Account and Go Offline.
Play the sims 4. The packs should now work. You can go online once you’re in the game. You just have to be offline when you’re starting TS4. Just open Origin, click Account, and Go Online.”
having the same issue!
EA app will soon replace Origin on Mac. What will happen to this method of accessing Sims 4 free? 🥺

anyone on Mac who got SP44 & SP45 working, please do share how you did it. thanks.
Did you uninstall the DLC unlocker and then reinstall it? it wasn’t working for me at first, but when I did that, it worked fine.
yes i did. did you put the SP44 & SP45 in the Sims 4 Packs folder?
oh i thought it was just my computer!!! yeah i think the packs are not for mac or something bc they don’t work in my computer either
Please let me know if you managed to find it and get it running!! Im still waiting
Hi! I’ve been using these packs for a very long time but I hadn’t played in a couple months and this week I realized although my DLCs were showing up in my game, once I started playing, my Sims would freeze. The action log wouldn’t fill up, the Sim would literally get reset by itself when I forced it to cook something and resetting the Sim by myself would not work. I found a comment here that said the Laundry Day pack bugs out the game and tried that as a last resort after literally deleting and redownloading each DLC and doing a bunch of other things and it worked! Whoever commented it, thank you thank you thank you!!!
Hi, I’ve had a problem for a few days. I uninstalled the laundry pack but despite that, my sims bug a lot… When I ask them to do certain actions it’s as if they are reinitializing themselves and I can’t play correctly. Does anyone have a problem? If yes, can you help me please? Thanks a lot. (and sorry for my English I’m French)
Im having similar issue my sim won’t do anything I have reset my sim and doesn’t work at all it just stands there do I have to delete the laundry pack only or all and reinstall please let me know what you did exactly
Hey Tarac, I hope you are well. When will the new packs be released on the site? (Im on Mac by the way) Thank you for your hard work by giving this to us.
The new packs for the Mac are available HERE
Thank you. I just downloaded them. Must I copy the _installer file as well?
SP44 and SP45 are not showing in my game. is there a link to an updated Unlocker?
When will the new packs be released on this site?
so I’ve downloaded bunch of packs earlier this year and everything works just fine. but now i really want to try out the horse ranch and a few other packs i haven’t downloaded yet. does anyone knows how to add it or which steps to follow? english isn’t my first language so it’s pretty hard to understand which one is which. thank you!
Where is torrent files for dlcs? Seems it deleted
See the page and look at STEP 3 (Add missing DLC’s)
Hello, I need help. Sorry if my English is bad, I´m Spanish. Im having problems with the packs, I have done the step 1 four times now. What I did was updating origin, then when I entered the sims 4 the packs that I had previously didn’t show up, so I did the step 1. I started the sims and again the packs didn’t show up, this happened the four times I did the step 1. I don’t know if I have to update the sims (I haven’t updated since growing up I think). Im so desperate right now 🙁 please help
If you’re having problem’s with your previous owned packs I would first try to update your game. If that doesn’t work try right clicking on the game in the EA or origin app and select repair game, and then start again from step 1:)))
How can I use this on Sims 3 Metal version?

The worlds also show up without any lots. Idk what’s causing it so if someone could help i would really appreciate it 🙂
Is anyone else having problems with EP 13? I keep getting an error message stating that it is a corrupted file. Could this be because of Laundry day? please help every other pack is working!

Hello, I recently installed the game from Origin and ran the DLC unlocker and everything seemed fine because it says I own all the packs. I managed to design the sims and the house, but when I tried to game play, to like tell them to do actions, they just stand there and won’t do anything. I haven’t downloaded any mods or custom content, I’m new to the game. Does this have to do with Origin cause I’m using macbook or is it some faulty pack? Hope you’ll be able to help!
Hi, I have the same problem… Idk why it does that… Please help us..!
you need to remove laundry pack, cuz the problem come from there. i tried it and it works! hope it helps
omg it works !! thanks youuu !
hi, I have downloaded the horse pack following the instructions and everything shows up in the game but I cannot buy, rescue to add a horse to my family in cas. Idk if this is a mod issue or I’ve done something wrong.
can someone help? thanks
bonsoir moi je sais pas comment tu as fait pourai-tu m’explique un truc du genre je te donne mon insta ou autre s’il te plait
All my packs say download to use after trying the unlocker multiple times and deleting both ts4 and origin, please help
you have to do it individually! remove all the packs from your folder into a separate folder, drag them one by one into the sims 4 pack folder and run fixorigin.command or whatever after each one!
didn’t work for me, any other tips? also deleted & re ran the commands
having the same issue here
All my packs say download to use after trying the unlocker multiple times and deleting both ts4 and origin
Anybody else experiencing question marks on all the clothes and red and white patches ? the whole game looks buggy.
Has anyone been able to fix that ?
I think that might be a problem if your clothes are custom content. I’ve had that problem and it’s mostly bc they’re out of date and you’ll have to delete/ update the specific clothing.
hello can someone drop the link for the latest dlc unlocker ? Because my packs don’t show up in game.
appreciate ittt
EA DLC unlocker: https://krakenfiles.com/view/fAnzwwhW3J/file.html , Origin DLC unlocker: https://krakenfiles.com/view/MMYpp57LoC/file.html
Hi guys hope everyone is well.
I have followed all the steps and I see the ALL the packs under ‘my packs’ but I do not see them in the actual game. Could anyone kindly help ?
my game updated and all the base game worlds have disappeared, ive tried re-installing the Unlocker and all that but nothing is working. the DLCs seem to be working fine i just cant access willow creek, oasis springs or newcrest.
j’ai un problème j’ai mis tout mon jeu sur un disque dur externe + les packs et les sauvegardes etc, mais origin ne détecte plus les DLC comment faire ? Ça marchait sur mon ordi mais je n’avais pas la place…
Hello, just wondering if i am still able to access the gallery once i’m in game ? I’m a mac user using origin and I go offline before going into the game but am i not able to go online into the gallery anymore ?
I was able to get all this on my mac, and yes you can get into the gallery. Just make sure to open your game in offline mode, and once you’re in, you can go online and access the gallery.
thank you !
non, vous ne pouvez plus aller dans la galerie avec la version crackée
yes I’m still able to
The only problem I am having now is that the world for the horse ranch pack is not showing up, I am able to see the townies, get the horses, mini goats, and mini sheep, and hire the ranch hand
same but I only have access to the horses. I put the in the content folder along with growing together (which is working) but for some reason it wont show up
UPDATE I’ve got everything working within horse ranch: i can creat and buy the animals visit the equestrian center use the cas clothes and build items but i still cannot see the word map and all the cas and build items dont have the horse ranch symbole on them does anyone know how to fix this? ( idk if this helps but when im a the main menu and i look at the packs in both online and offline the picture for horse ranch is just blue)
Hello, Finally the i managed to make EP14 appear in game but when i’m in cas clothes are not showing and if i try to add horses to the household is not working. Anyone knows how to fix this issue?
Hii uhm when i load the game it only has the free worlds available, the others show up but it says it needs to be downloaded.
Heey! Ik heb alle EP’s al, nu wil ik alleen EP14 (horse ranch) toevoegen. Ik kom er ff niet uit met de engelse comments. Voeg ik de pack gewoon toe in de folder en doe ik dan weer de unlocker?
Klopt
Thanks! 🙂
bonjour j’ai réussie a installer le dernier pack d’extension le seul soucis c’est que c’est écrit qu’il est en précommande et n’est pas encore disponible
Hi, make sure to put it in the “contents” folder and NOT in the “sims 4 packs”. I missed that the first time I tried installing it.
hey when i open the game offline it says that I own all the packs, but when I play, its like they’re not there 🙁 can’t use them at all. has anyone had the same issue? and how did you solve it? thanks
u have to put in the the sims folder
i have the same issue too but I haven’t found a solution for it
i have the same issue, I’m still working for a solution but I can’t understand what’s wrong. Someone know how to fix it? Please?
I got the files from Stack and Mega option, but after following all of the steps the new content doesn’t appear in the files. I already did run “fix OriginClient” a few times 🙁 Any idea what’s wrong? Are the files from Stack and Megaonly for Windows, not Mac?
My game was running perfectly fine, but after I tried to download horse ranch, in which I followed Xova’s instructions where I re-downloaded both sims and origin, my game broke. Now when I want to play Sims it says I have to download to use all of my packs i’ve downloaded. I don’t know if this has something to do with me having put my folder with all my packs on my desktop before deleting or something else.
I’ve tried Xovas method a few times before coming on here if anyone can help id be really thankful.
FINALLY after days of trying to get the new dlc everything is working perfect for me the only stuff I did was to re Download everything like is my first time
Come hai fatto? A me non lo scarica : \
MAC USERS ONLY
Alright, so it seems that some people have been having issues downloading the new pack. First of all, it’s best to install the LATEST version of the unlocker:
https://krakenfiles.com/view/MMYpp57LoC/file.html
-because the unlocker has been recently updated. The DLCs are not up to download individually on the website anymore, so an option is to download a torrent client. It’ll help you open .torrent files on Mac. I recommend Transmission as it is a simple and easy for beginners torrent client for Mac.
If you don’t want to download through torrent, you can download all of the DLCs in one folder here: https://mega.nz/folder/9fxE2Yja#r1_QL2xVG2sAS7kE5bNCzw
OR If you want to download individual DLCS, you can download them here: https://tonyhimself.stackstorage.com/s/e9QYV9GgLawHUCgk/en_US?dir=&node-id=23629
*By the way, once the downloads of the DLCs are complete, you’ll have to extract those as .rar files. In order to extract .rar files on Mac, download The Unarchiver on the app store.
In order for:
EP13: Growing Together
EP14: Horse Ranch
SP40: Greenhouse Haven Kit
SP41 Basement Treasures Kit
SP42: Grunge Revival Kit
SP43: Book Note Kit
-to show up in your game, you have to go to Applications, Shift + Command H, click on the Applications folder, right click on TS4, show package contents, and drag them in the contents folder.
The rest of the DLCs can be simply added into The Sims 4 Packs folder.
So, in order for the DLCs to work in your game, you have to:
1. Download Origin DLC Unlocker *recent updated version.
2. Right click on fix.OriginClientcommand and click open. Press a key and Origin Client will be fixed.
3. Right click on add.fakeentitlementscommand and press open. Complete the first instructions provided. After the first instructions are complete, press 2. Then press another key to finish the command.
4. *VERY IMPORTANT* Run fix. OriginClientcommand again. Make sure you press a key to finish the command.
5. Open Origin as ONLINE and go to your profile. Click on TS4, then at the top left of your screen Click Account and then Go Offline.
6. Open TS4 as online. The packs should now work in the game.
If it still doesn’t work, you might have to run the deleteenitlements.command and uninstall TS4 AND Origin. Then you’d have to redo all of the instructions. Pain in the ass to install the sims again I know, but it’ll be a fresh copy.
OR, you can try to go to Documents > Electronic Arts and drag The Sims 4 folder to your desktop. Run TS4 as offline. The packs should refresh and you’ll always have a backup of your mods/CC if you play with them.
Hopefully it works for someone! ❤️
it didn’t work for me, do you have anymore tips? Do purchased DLCs interfere?
I accidentally said open the sims 4 as online as offline. And YES, purchased packs do interfere with tarac’s method!!
*instead of offline
Sorry!!
I can’t actually play the new pack bc I can’t access the world, all the lots have a caution symbol on them and wont let me add families to them or access any of the townies
Thank you so so so so much ! It worked so well ! Mega is super slow (but worth the time) and the other link is down … But I am so happy it worked after many hours of struggles with other methods!!
I couldn’t get mega to download them it says I’ve got to wait 5 hours to try again!
I am confused by what you mean by contents folder?
Hey, the stack storage link says you have to login to access the packs and I haven’t found a register option. Any help would be great.
hi xova, so in order to add the newest packs like horse ranch, we should install the new DLC unlocker and just follow the steps as you’ve said? will it updates my game automatically or should i update origin first?
I managed to get the game to load up but now in the in game store (or whatever its called) the packs say ‘preorder’ and when I load up a game none of the packs are there. Does it only work on new games?
Same issue, did you figure it out?
I can’t open the game while offline, it seems origin won’t let me.
nvm
everything works, thanks so much tarac! My advice for everyone is to follow steps really carefully and re download the unlocker at least another time before giving up.
hello im having trouble it says all my packs have been uploaded however its not popping up in my game did this happen with you if so what did you do?
mine is this same
All of the stuff packs worked just fine but the game packs wont show in the game
I have a MacBook & had the dlc working in game before the new update on origin… since then, I tried following all the steps, but the packs just show “download to use” now. I can’t seem to figure out the issue. I’ve read that anadius says “Laptop died” so I don’t know if that means it just won’t ever work on my MacBook again or if there’s a chance someone else can still find a fix to the problem? 🙁 pls help!
Re-download and run the latest Unlocker
i was also experiencing this problem and I did redownload and run the latest unlocker and it is still saying “download to use” no matter how many times I download and run the unlocker.
same issue! :/
Hi tarac please help me , i did everything right but when I load the game , it says that i have all my dlc but i have to download them, so i can’t use them in the game. How can I fix this?
Please read the information from Xova on the page.
hello, I was able to install all the dls, but there was a problem. I can’t choose a career for my Sim. When the window opens, there is nothing there. someone faced with this? how to fix?
I can’t play at all. The game works perfectly but my sims just won’t move or do anything. All dlc are visible and functional but I can’t gameplay at all
Any Suggestions on what could possibly be wrong with my game? I got no Mods installed and all dlc are visible and functional but my sims just won’t do anything at all
I have the same problem! Have u found a solution yet?
SAME WHAT CAN I DO??
i’m having the same problem? any solution yet?
Hi, for me it’s the same, have you
figured out how to fix it?
Could i have some help? I’ve downloaded and ran the unblocker multiple times, deleted the duplicate packs folder, and tried to troubleshoot in almost every possible way.
When i open my game it says I have all the packs, but says that i need to download them to play.
I’m getting pretty frustrated so any help is welcome!
same thing for me
Same issue!! Are you using Mac?
yep, I am! i even tried downloading on of the packs of mega and getting all of that sorted, but it still said to “Download to use”!
Hi so I used to have packs downloaded from here and it all worked great. Today I tried to install Horse ranch and none of the packs are working anymore. I repeated the steps many times and even re-downloaded origin but still nothing. Can anyone help. Also I am using Mac.
Same issue! Any fix yet?
Hi! for those residing in the US, do you use VPN to download the packs via torrent? Will I get detected if I won’t use a VPN? I have Proton VPN right now, but I get a warning that it cannot download on p2p servers.
Thanks in advance!
Nvm.. I have my question answered. 🙂
says it cannot download because “The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “ClientFullBuild0.package” can’t be read or written.
(Error code -36)” for GP12 and all of the SP’s, and EP14 cannot download because “The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “Strings_CHS_CN.package” can’t be read or written.
(Error code -36)”, idk what to do about this
This is for everyone I had the same problem with the new pack idk how to make a comment. Remove mods folder first, Re download the unlocker (step 1), run all commands again, and youre good to play as normal
Gonna tear my hair out…repeated EVERYTHING redownloaded everything…still shoes EP14 on preorder. Help?
now my problem is that I can’t even download all of the DLC’s and the torrent shows a 404 error on the kraken site
I have followed all the commands but the unlocker still shows me this. xattr: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: ‘/Applications/Origin.app/Contents/MacOS/OriginClient’
Allow Terminal to access files and then run this script again: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/control-access-files-folders-mac-mchld5a35146/mac
If you see this message again – grant the Full Disk Access to the Terminal app.
I also did what is written here but it doesn’t work… can someone help me?

I even have the folder “the sims 4 packs” and I even deleted origin and the game many times as well, tried downloading again the unlocker and doing all the steps again but it keeps showing the same thing. I tried on windows and it works. Someone help please I really want to play on my MacBook!!!

Please let me know if youve found a solution im having the exact same problem and its driving me crazy.
Hello everyone so I was having a lot of problems on downloading the dlc from uTorrent to the point that I left my MacBook on for a whole day since it was “sending” you have to check your downloads and will see all the dlc there they going to be on “rar” I recommend downloading winzip after you do all the steps just go to the origin Dlc unlocker and use “fixorginclient” also if you can’t open the sims 4 while offline just go to your library click on the sims 4 and before picking “play” go offline this is the way I did it all my dlc work fine hopefully this can help you guys
thank you so much this worked for me downloading the eps off utorrent instead of the other one made my eps work!!!
Hi, i had downloaded almost every dlc through this website, but today i downloaded the book nook and grunge revival kits (using the same method i always use) and now none of the dlcs i installed through here appear when i load in the sims 4 menu. The game also got an update today, but i don’t think that has anything to do with my problem. Can someone help?
hello tarac, how come the links for the packs don’t work no more? i used to be able to download them individually but now it’s not possible anymore? 🙁 i had to delete all my downloads because of memory issues and really miss the packs 🙁 thanks in advance !
origin doesn’t let me even open the sims when I go offline. all this for nothing
having the same problem right now after my game updated. not sure how to fix it…
I was having issues with this too! while you are still online, click the sims game in your library so it pulls up for you to open it, then switch to offline while the ‘game card’ is open and you can press open game then! only way I can get it to work now
How do i mount the iso??
See this page
Hi Tarac! I was wondering if the horse ranch expansion pack is already posted for macs. I looked around but I couldn’t find it. Thanks x!
I did everything the site said to do and several times, but when I start the game it tells me that I have the extensions but that I have to download them. Unfortunately, I don’t know what to do more than what the site asked to do and I end up with several files of several GB that I cannot use. So if anyone can help me out I’m all ears. Thank you in advance to those who will help me.
Hey! Just got most DLCs to work, but I’m not sure if my situation is unique. I noticed that The Sims 4 app that I downloaded from Origin was not in my main applications folder. I used spotlight search (magnifying glass icon on the top right of Mac) to look up “the sims 4” and scrolled all the way down and hit “search in finder.” I found the app, right-clicked it, and hit “Show in Enclosing Folder.” I was taken to a completely separate applications folder and there was already a folder in there entitled “The Sims 4 Packs.” All I did was transfer all the DLCs to that new “The Sims 4 Packs” folder, completed the Origin DLC unlocker/entitlements, and the packs worked! I, unfortunately, don’t have the three most recent EPs werewolves, cottage living, or growing together. They’re still saying download to use. But I hope this can help!
Correction! I meant I don’t have cottage living, growing together, and high school years. But werewolves don’t work either lol.
having the same issue!
I did the process several times but when I start the game the expansions appear as if I had them but I can’t use them because it appears as if I needed to download them.
Same issue!! Any solution??
hey, please why can’t my sims use the vacuum cleaners? many people have this issue. I can’t use the fix dlcs thing I use a Mac, but I redownladed the bust the dust kit and its still the same. I don’t have any mods. please help.
well thanks! works wonderfully. The gallery is also available. I had the problem at the beginning that the packs were not displayed in the game. Make sure that you read what is written in the two files at the beginning.
hey, what 2 files to read cause I have the same problem.
is origin still stuck on an update loop or can I now skip the first step for the dlc unlocker? I need the online gallery since I don’t know how to build good homes
Please update the Origin DLC Unlocker that’s linked above this page. It’s outdated.
I have problem with bust the dust, laundry day and the playground toddlers kit. My sims won’t interact with the activities that come with the packs and instead they just resets. Anyone know why?
okay so i did everything correctly. i did the individual downloads (EP,GP,FP,)
i was able to download correctly into my sims 4 packs without doubling the folders together. i did the terminal thing, everything was a go. i did the offline trick and restarting origin. im not sure why i cant, but when i go into the same offline and online, it says that i dont have any owned DLC’s. that i am in base game so im confused. i added all the packs in the right folder and location using origin. I might add to say im also using an external drive for the game since i dont want to overload my mac.
Did you also use the Unlocker ?
I have the dame problem, and i usted the Unlocker
happening to me too. worked on my last mac no problem but not on this no matter how many times ive tried it
im not using an external harddrive though
I was having a similar problem and found the answer. I had to authorize the terminal to make changes. To do that I had to follow the instructions written here https://osxdaily.com/2018/10/09/fix-operation-not-permitted-terminal-error-macos/
Does someone know what to do if your dlcs are not showing up in game on Mac? I was on windows before and you could repair the game to fix it ig? Can you do something similar on Mac??
Guys I need help it looks like some the game based clothes are showing up as broken I downloaded the “All DLC’s in 1 iso download”, the clothes were showing up before I added in the rest of the dlc I did not have.
Did you find a fix? Most of the stuff in CAS is showing broken for me
why there is no ability to use direct links to packs? I used to download DLC with this method 🙁

In this link there are the whole folders that were posted here
https://tonyhimself.stackstorage.com/s/e9QYV9GgLawHUCgk/en_US?dir=&node-id=23629
Edited by Tarac:
The link above results in winrar files, so you must extract them after downloading.
you’d better use this link
You then get .iso files, mount them after download.
I followed your instructions and when I go into sims offline it says I own the packs but it says I have to download to use them, and I already extracted the .rar files and put it into my pack folder, so what do I do??? hellppp
this is happening to me as well 🙁 I’m not tech savvy so idk what to do
I also can’t open origins in-game even though I have the settings put to where I should be able to do so D:
i have the same problem did you find a solution?
the dlc worked just fine up until the recent update, now i’m able to load the dlc properly but im having issues with my sims performing tasks with certain objects. it shows that they’re sitting/cooking in the task sidebar but they just stand there. any fixes?
Looks like a problem with outdated mods
Sorry the bugs is for episode object (EP04 to EP10)
Hello, I have some design bug on Object and Clothes (interrogation point) for some mods. Do you know how I can repair that please ?
Thank you
This is now happening to me as well, were you able to solve it?
Ho eseguito tutti i passaggi per installare i DLC, ma ho un problema con lo sblocco e non riesco a modificare il file fixOriginClient.command sul terminale del Mac, continua a darmi errore, ho poi seguito il procedimento per rendere eseguibile il file ma niente. Cosa posso fare per risolvere?
hi my dlc does not show up anymore after origin had an update
Re-apply the Unlocker
Can you please help. I followed the directions exactly , I did the commands & i went offline & when im on the main menu it says I own all the packs but they don’t show up in game
I have the same problem lmk if you have the solution TT
Same thing for me.
mine did the same exact thing, says the packs are pre ordered and I have to download them.
Mine says I own them and they should be downloaded, they just do not appear in build/buy
I’ve found the latest version of the dlc unlocker: https://krakenfiles.com/view/ClLIQw9JG9/file.html
Uninstall the old one and use this one for the new kits.
if you have problems with PS42 and PS43 this is the solution guys
This works, thank you!
je me trouve plus le fichier SP43 et 42 dans les telechargement
hi! your comments are fixed my issue! thanks for the sharing!
SP42 et SP43 me fonctionne pas ? une solution a telle etait trouver, tout le reste focntionne parfaitement
for future reference, how do i add the newest DLCs?
i’m on mac with a legit game, and i boot in with the origin offline method. all the packs and kits until now show up in the game as normal, but SP42 and SP43 show up as “download to use”. it doesn’t seem like the ‘add fake entitlements’ command works, even with a fresh download of the DLC unlocker.
should i wait until the krakenfiles zip is updated, or is there a better method?
I FIXED IT.
when you download the individual DLCs, make sure you unzip the .rar file to get a folder.
then open the folder and move the EP/GP/SP00 folder into Applications > The Sims 4 Packs
you do not need the _Installer folder in the The Sims 4 Packs folder, just the SP42 file (or whichever number it is). no folders should be inside the EP/GP/SP folder.
Helpp!! because i did the steps for the unlocker, I figured out how to do the torrents thing with vuze like suggested and unzipped and put them in the sims 4 pack folder in my directory, i ran the unlocker command and for the most part it worked but my game is super buggy. it doesnt have the lots in the worlds and the screen goes black and the game is completely unplayable to the point of shutting down my computer.
I was able to find a solution for this issue!! i was running into the same issue of not being able to see the worlds and I realized that when i was putting the extracted folders in the the sims pack folder they were inside another folder. example sp03>sp03 and then all the files. So I just pasted the sp03 with the files and deleted the parent folder. i hope this helps!
Hello did you find out how to fix this? Mine game doesnt have lots too
do you know where to get all DLC files?
See this page
It doesn’t work for me. I repeated the steps several times, but SP42 and SP43 are still not showing as owned. The folders are in The Sims 4 > The Sims 4 Packs > SP42 / SP43.
So frustrating!
Hello!! Im trying to install all of these packs and gameplays, but the web torrent isnt allowing me to. I know im a stranger on the internet but could you help me by somehow sending me the files that i’d need to put into the Sims folder? Youre the most recent downloader and i just need help.
Heys guys! I don’t know if someone can help me, but I followed all steps and by the end, I go offline on Origin as said and when I open the sims, the game just doesn’t start and says “The Sims 4 doesn’t respond”
Does anyone know how to solve this, or have any idea of what is triggering it?
Thank you so much!!
Hi! for anyone who is having problems with the packs saying “download to use” this is how u fix it. U have to make sure if u decide to download it all at once using the torrent, the packs can not be in any subfolder. So it should look like this for example. Applications > Sims 4 pack > ep01.
IT SHOULD NOT LOOK LIKE THIS applications > sims 4 pack > all DLC for pack system> ep01.
if ur facing any other problems pls let me know
please help I literally did this and its still saying download to use on all of my packs
after u did that did u delete the dlc unlocker and download it back and rerun the dlc commands?
hey i just want a help because i didnt understand the thing properly. so i did all of these but i am not sure if i did this true. did we add dlc’s by this way? because my game saying that these are not downloaded and should i found the all the dlcs one by one and download them. and i cant do the offline origin mode please help me with understanding these processes…
I have all the packs in the sims 4 pack folder but it still says download to use
Hi! Mine looks like this Applications> sims 4 pack> sims 4-all DLC’s.iso
what should I do? please help !
Mount the iso and then copy the mounted DLC’;s to the Sims 4 packs folder.
Hey! At the beginning I had this problem and somehow without knowing I solved it and now the packs show in the game. But now some objects and clothes show with question marks and red and white squares I don’t know why. Could you help with this please??
how did u fix that
Hiii,
So I installed ONLY the base game (even though I own a couple of packs).
I followed every step and when I put the downloaded files on the folder, only the packs I actually legally own are working 🙁
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
I am having this same problem, It shows all of them as owned that I had previously — However, the ones I don’t have say “download to use” as if the process messed up somewhere along the way.
Please heeeeeeeeelp
I cannot seem to get this to work for the life of me. I have followed the instructions and tried again multiple times, but every time I try to open the “All DLCs.iso.torrent’ and open it with the indicated “The Sims 4 packs” folder in the applications, it doesn’t let me. The open option is grey and un clickable. I’m not sure where the issue is or if there was a simple mistake I made and am overthinking it. Pls help!
download utorrent so u can extract the All DLCs.iso.torrent, this should turn it into just iso. then put all the packs into the sims 4 pack folder.
Hi! Your description makes it sound like you’re trying to open the torrent file directly? You’re supposed to get a program specifically for torrents (I use Vuze, but I’ve heard that others recommend bittorrent). You can open the torrent file with that, which will begin the download of an .iso file, which you’re supposed to open and extract the files from to the Packs folder. I hope this helps!
Could someone help me say that I have but I need to do the dowload
It’s just the last two games I can’t get to work
everytime i run add fake entitlements and select the sims 4, “it says script failed at the step 1” any solutions?
make sure you put 2 not 2.
Youre a genius!! thank you for detailing everything like how you did! It worked for me perfectly as long as I followed every single one of your steps! Im so happy!!! Thank you!!!!! You are the GOAT FR like now I wanna create a youtube video detailing your steps because its so simple with all your help.
I have used this before(when you could download the packs individually)and I had no problem it all worked fine I was playing the games with the packs.But now with this new method I can’t seem to make it work.I’ve followed the instructions and put the pack in The Sims 4 Pack folder but it still says unowned.I’m on a mac computer and using my game through a usb.
i couldn’t even unzip the .rar files after the torrent because it’s not compatible with macs… i dont know why they had to change the method that was working fine… torrents never ever work for me
Hello j’ai un Mac et j’ai pue décompresse
Install the Unarchiver app from the app store (it’s free). Then, right click on the .rar file and choose open with unarchiver. It should work!
same with mine ! has anyone found a solution to this???
download utorrent, it extracts torrents. worked on mac for me u jus have to use ur brain and search google on how to unzip .rar files.
Hi! Don’t know if you’re still in need of a fix, but I had the same issue earlier. Are you opening the addfakeentitlements command before you open origin? and if you are, you might be starting the game while still connected to the internet.
same thing happening to me
Hi ! I’m having the same problem. I’ve tried installing the DLC 20+ times, following the instructions religiously and yet they still show as unowned. I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong. The only difference between the tutorial and my game is that mine’s in French. Could that be why it’s not working ?
Thanks !
As I wrote somewhere else, the solution was to authorize the terminal to make changes : I hadn’t realized the add “fake entitlement…” wasn’t working. I followed the instructions here and it now works : https://osxdaily.com/2018/10/09/fix-operation-not-permitted-terminal-error-macos/
I’m having the same issue! It was all working up until the direct link to packs were taken down and now it just says unowned.
I’m having a problem with the Get Together pack. Every other pack works perfectly fine but Get Together won’t install and says that I need to preorder it (but the pack is available to buy right now so I don’t understand why it says preorder) does anyone know how to fix this?
I’m replying to my own comment because I fixed the problem. Turns out my Origin unlocked was outdated to I just redownloaded it and it works. I hope that helps anyone who is having the same problem 🙂
Hi, can you share the link of the unlocked you used? Thank you!
Hi there! Thanks so much for this! I’m trying to play with the new book nook pack, pack 43, and I can’t get the pack to show up in my game. All the other pack pop up as “owned” but the book nook and grunge revival show up as “not owned”. I’ve re-downloaded the DLC unlocker & ran the commands three times now and its still not popping up. Do I need to just keep re-downloaded & re-running? Or am I doing something wrong. Thanks!!
I’ve been trying to open the game, but the sims 4 icon appears in dock and then disappears immediately and the game won’t even open. Can anyone help me? I’ve been stuck since May, I tried to update the game, repair it, re-download it etc
My game broke in May… I ended up having to uninstall all the downloaded dlc (I downloaded using direct links to packs) and I guess I have to reinstall using torrents. I have almost zero clue how though so I might be SOL.
everything works except for the fact that all of the direct links for the packs are no longer clickable or downloadable… spent 3 days trying to do this just to not even be able to download the packs
Did you happen to find the fix for it? the direct links are not clickable for me either
I don’t like playing with occults, so I don’t want to download Vampires, Realm of Magic or Werewolves, so is there any way to not download them or delete them after I finish downloading the all in one iso torrent?
Simply delete the unwanted DLC’s by removing the folders
When I went to download the files using uTorrent, it allowed me to select which packs I wanted to download. Just deselect the ones you don’t want and it should work
Hey! So! This works big time my only issue is with the DLC actually showing up 🙂 Like the game acknowledges that I OWN the DLC but its not installed into the game. What do I do since the individual pack download site is down?
same!!! someone pls help.
Hey there, after the update loop on Mac my game won’t work with the packs.
I tried like everything but can’t run fixorigincommand, everytime I try it says no permission for that operation. I already gave permission in the settings and in terminal. please help.
My main menu isn’t working after downloading DLC it says trial not translated or something
hello! i have downloaded the file for every pack, but all the build and cas items and more are broken and cannot be used. what can I do?
Hey Ive just been replacing the broken stuff i want to use with cc of it the ones i hae right now is the plumbros mod.
The DLC Unlocker is outdated, the last 2 Kits doesn’t work because of that. 🙁
Ever heard of reloading the Unlocker ?
Not really, what does that mean? How can I do that? All i did was try and download again. Thank you!
Same. The last two kits appear as unowned. I downloaded the DLC 3 times and run it again and again.
Did you also run the Unlocker ?
hey guys, every time I join TS4 it says I own the packs but need to download them. I’ve tried deleting and re-runing DLC unlocker, deleting and redownloading Origin. But nothing seems to work. Please help I’ve been at this for like 2 days.
same, i’ve tried deleting and redownloading the unlocker over 20 times now and it still says the same thing (download to use packs)
Hi all, Im having a problem that when i go to play sims 4 its stating that i need to download the packs to use. But it states i own all packs just that i need to download them. from what I understand the DLCs are in the correct the sims 4 packs folder. I have tried everything i could think of to solve this problem. Does anyone have a solution to this?
you have to download origin dlc unlocker and redo the whole process of it. It took my 5 tries until my packs showed and were playable.
yes me to and they removed the direct download for the dlc i think they need to fix it
Hi i downloaded get famous form torrent but u think the file is missing something. When u open my game lots, objects, hairs etc from get famous are not showing up. All i can see is ???. I have never had this problem before with yours packs.
I followed the steps but now the sims 4 wont launch no matter what i do x.x I do not know what went wrong, i really would like for this to work
i’m running into some problems with changing the language. i am playing on mac, so it’s really hard to find tutorials or explanations on how to do this. i got my game from origin and got region-locked into playing in russian/polish/czech and i would like to play in english. i tried the method at the bottom of the article but mac refuses to run the EXE file. what should i do?
when I try to download some of this files, of https://tonyhimself.stackstorage.com/s/nddKp7nX4aAC767i/en_US I can’t do it, do you know the reason or something? I enter on the page but when I select the file and click on download, it doesn’t do anything thank u in advance🫶🏻🫶🏻
I can’t get growing together to work 🙁 its the only one that wont work!
If everyone doesn’t mind can we create a discord server or something. I’d like to see what everyone else is doing to know where I’m going wrong, cause I’m doing everything possible in the way I can but I’m getting the same results. Or if a discord server isn’t possible maybe a video example. I’m stuck on the I own the packs, but I need to download it bit (which isn’t possible cause I have to come online for that). I wanna share pictures and videos too
I think that’s a good idea! But do anyone has wicked whims in their games with the dlc? If you do is your wicked whims working?
yup! my wicked whims mod still work
yes it works. you have to make sure the files are not too deep in folders. the files need to be at least one folder in or take them out of the folders.
yeah same it just says unavailable for purchase
So I created a server, I hope people are interested in joining( please I can’t use some of my mods because they need dlc’s😭), if anyone would like to lead I don’t mind/care. This is mostly for a common goal—piracy. https://discord.gg/vrRA5VQs. Let me know if this violates any code of ethics or something.
Hey iam about to join this my username name
TalentJasmyne-_-
Hi it says the discord invite is invalid
Hi,
This is another invite I hope it works
https://discord.gg/vrRA5VQs
Can you do this again please, i could really use some assistance
Omg y’all, it REALLY does work. Scroll down and take a look at lilm1racle ‘s comment from 28TH MAY 2023 AT 00:40
I messed up because I DIDN’T open Origin and The Sims 4 when running the add fake entitlements command. After doing that, everything worked fine! I’m so happy, now I can go back to living on a farm, and I don’t have to play ghetto base game xD
Hi, i’ve been able to use the packs correctly but for some reason the worlds for “Get Famous”, “Strangerville”, and “Werewolves” arent available for gameplay. please help!
had this same problem too!! was surprised to see that del sol valley was missing
still having problems with add fake entitlements.It always shows that origin is still running even after closing origin with command+Q.
i have been trying for two days now T-T help
my experience trying to download dlc’s and get them to work, so I’ve tried multiple times to get my dlc’s to work. no dice. it shows that I own it, but it doesn’t work on my game. I’ve deleted my origin completely, done a reset, re-downloaded origin Unlocker multiple times, deleted my dlcs, re-downloaded them. followed every single step to the point that im not seeing the same options anymore. I don’t have space on my Mac, individual downloads don’t work anymore. I don’t understand torrents completely, so I can unzip them but im befuddled on what to do with seeding, but winrar doesn’t work. regardless, it shows that I own the packs so I must be doing something right. at this point I’ve decided to give up, and enjoy a boring game like that I’ve deleted past saves that had dlc packs because I can’t play them anymore. if anyone has any advice I will appreciate it, cause it seems my experience is unique.
this is the same with me it says i need to download to use the packs i’m not happy and cannot find a resolution i even deleted sims and re-installed it
I have the same problem and I did everything too again, and nothing worked did you fixed?
I have downloaded all of the DLCs on Mac and they all show up in game. ‘Create A Sim’ and BUILD mode works fine.
But in LIVE mode the sims won’t do anything – they won’t follow any commands or do anything themselves on full autonomy. They just stand there, they sometimes move but won’t complete any commands as if they’re stuck and need resetting- but it happens to every sim in every lot. I have tried restarting it but the problem is always there.
Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?
(I have no mods or cc)
YES! This is the same issue i’ve been having!
I took out all the packs and added them back one by one and SP13 (laundry day) was the bugged pack for me! Try removing that pack and see if it works 🙂
is there a way we can pick and choose what to download again, I don’t have enough space on my Mac for a full download. it’s making the process a lot more stressful
guys!! if you are having trouble with your dlcs not showing up in game (saying not owned) you need to go into your fix originclient and if it says something about not giving access and a disc access thing but then it says process completed your probably just gonna ignore it like i did and the dlcs wont show up. you need to go into your settings then privacy and security then full disc access and give terminal access to your disk. if you dont see terminal, press the little plus button and itll take you to your files so search for terminal and enable it. if you do this it will work like it did for me!!
hi this worked for me but when i try to play my legacy game is says that the packs arent there and that it need to reset or something to be able to see if packs are enabled and i cant fugure out how to reset it in the way that it want. Can anyone help?
I need help I did everything as is show on the video but when I go offline it say I have to download the packs I don’t know what I’m doing wrong someone please help me is been 5 hours of me trying
Same, it says I own the packs but in order to use them they need to be downloaded
Mine says i own them download to use how do i fix?
Scroll up click the direct links to Pack link and you have to download the packs
Do everything as strictly as possible according to the instructions. That is, first install the origin, log in to it, close the program completely, preferably through the command + Q command. download unlocker, then “fix OriginClient.command”, then “add fake entitlements.command”. There you need to open the origin while the terminal is open with this command, leave it online and start the game, wait until it turns on, check if the gallery is online, then exit the game and completely close the origin via command + Q. Then select Sims4 (press 2). Next, add the downloaded add-ons to The Sims4 Packs folder. There is a trap here. if you downloaded through torrents, then after unzipping there will be add-on folders, but inside them there is another folder with the same name and that’s exactly what you need to throw into The Sims4 Packs folder.
what add on packs?
Everything works
I can’t download the dlc packs the stacks link isn’t letting me download the packs and the torrents aren’t showing up for my Mac.
if you want torrents to work you’ll have to download utorrent to unzip it, for MacBook. afterwards all the necessary packs will show up and you can copy them into your folder
Followed all the steps tarac gave. But nothing is working. Uninstalled origin and reinstalled in and did the whole add and fix origin client steps. But it keeps coming up with this message in the terminal app:
“xattr: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: ‘/Applications/Origin.app/Contents/MacOS/OriginClient’
Allow Terminal to access files and then run this script again: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/control-access-files-folders-mac-mchld5a35146/mac
If you see this message again – grant the Full Disk Access to the Terminal app.”
I have granted access and did the add and fix steps again, but still nothing is working.
Can anyone help?
On your Mac go to settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access > Turn on where it says Terminal. Save your settings and then try running everything again. Should work.
I have done that and it still comes up with the same message in terminal.
“xattr: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: ‘/Applications/Origin.app/Contents/MacOS/OriginClient’
Allow Terminal to access files and then run this script again: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/control-access-files-folders-mac-mchld5a35146/mac
If you see this message again – grant the Full Disk Access to the Terminal app.”
It was working before origin updated, but now it’s not. I am so confused.
Guys it finally worked!
Follow Taracs comments
How did you download the DLC packs I can’t seem to get them downloaded to put into my folder?
Guys it finally worked! Look for both Tarac’s comments and follow them step by step. Here’s a quick recap.
First I followed this link reset and downloaded Origin again: https://help.ea.com/en/help/origin/origin/how-to-reset-origin-on-mac/
Then I followed exactly what Tarac said:
1. Open Origin (if you see the “Origin Requires an Update” window – select the second option, “Update Origin”).
2. Open Origin settings (hover over your username, select “Application Settings”), scroll down and under “Client Update” disable “Automatically update Origin”.
3. Run the game.
4. Quit the game, quit Origin.
5. Run “fix OriginClient” script.
6. Run “add fake entitlements” script – skip the part that tells you to run the game, you already did it.
7. Open Origin – click “Don’t update and use Origin in offline mode”.
8. Run the game.
If you get some error in Origin after 7th step, like “Well, that didn’t go as planned” – ignore it and continue to the next step. Just run the game from Applications folder.
If it still doesn’t work – reset Origin (https://help.ea.com/help/origin/origin/how-to-reset-origin-on-mac/) and try again from the first step.
GOOD LUCK GUYS! HAPPY GAMING!
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
est-ce que les packs fonctionne pour quelqu’un ? Moi ça fonctionne toujours pas
Hi, to anyone that needs help, ive managed to get the sims 4 all packs working as of May 27th along with the gallery.
If you have Origin and TS4 installed and the packs aren’t working, make sure you’ve quit both the applications if they’re open using Activity Monitor, or just use Command + Q.
Then download DLC Unlocker again, and right click on delete entitlements command. Open the terminal and do what it says.
After that, open Origin and uninstall TS4. Sometimes in order for all packs to work again you have to reinstall the whole game. After you uninstall TS4, quit Origin and delete Origin.
Google Origin and install it again. After you finish installing, if it tells you to update Origin, do so first. After that, hover over your profile, go to Application Settings, and under client update disable “Automatically update Origin.”
Reinstall TS4. Then run the game.
Quit the game, and then Origin. Right click and open “fix OriginClient” command, then right click and open “add fake entitlements script.” Press a key to continue and press 2. Then press another key to finish the command.
Go to applications, shift + command + H, click on the Applications folder, then go to the sims 4 packs folder. Download the dlc packs you want then drag it into the sims 4 packs folder.
**IN ORDER FOR GROWING TOGETHER (EP13), GREENHOUSE HAVEN KIT (EP40), BASEMENT TREASURES KIT (EP41) to show up in your game, you have to right click on TS4, show package contents, and put EP13, EP40, and EP41 into the contents folder.
Finally, make sure you quit Origin and run “fix OriginClient” command again. Then go to your profile, click on sims 4, and in the top left of your screen click Account and Go Offline.
Play the sims 4. The packs should now work. You can go online once you’re in the game. You just have to be offline when you’re starting TS4. Just open Origin, click Account, and Go Online.
Sorry this was so long yall but I finally made it work for me 🙂
thanks for the instructions. going to try it right now and update if it works
Thank you so much it works for me!!!
How did you get the DLC packs to work?
I did all of this and it’s still not working. I think the problem may be with the add fake entitlements step as when I open the game it shows that the packs are unowned.
I have tried uninstalling, repairing, etc. Origin multiple times along with the Origin Unlocker protocol at least a dozen times and none of my DLC is showing up still – even with turning off updates the whole shebang.
Anyone have any updates? Or is this just a me problem?
No I am still also unable to get it to work despite doing it multiple times exactly as I’m meant to. Very sad.
I think im experiencing the same thing for me it shows that I own the packs, but it doesn’t appear in my game. I’ve only restarted two times though.
i’m having the same problem
There are parts of the maps that are not showing in my game and clothes or accesories too 🙁 i dont know what im doing bad , im in a MacBook Air
Hello! this was happening to me too. check for pack repeats in the sims 4 packs folder. I noticed I had downloaded an EP twice- took one out and the problem was fixed.
add fake entiltements isnt working for me. it always tells me that origin is still running which it isnt i made sure in activity manager. anyone know what the problem is ? (i also deleted the unlocker and origin multiple times and tried it again)
i have a similar problem – when i run the origin fixer, it says “info to fix your origin client not found” and i’ll wait an hour to see if it’ll work but im just rly confused
update: it’s working now!
what was the problem ?
what did you do to fix it ?
How to fix that? I’ve stuck on this problem for days
same here! is there any solution for that?
hi i have all the packs but it says its downloading and i should wait for it to be finished? what should i do
same with me though its been hours and no notification of them being installed has come in
Ignore that message.
It’s still not working for me. When I open origin and hit don’t update and use offline the screen for origin is stuck on the loading circle and its glitching
For anyone who wants to play now:
1. Run “fix OriginClient”
2. Run “add fake entitlements”
3. Open Origin and choose the option “Don’t update and run offline”
4. Go to Library and run the game from there.
5. Voila! All your DLC purchased.
Cons: You won’t be able to use the gallery.
Sometimes Origin gives an error message, so keep logging out and back in the Origin until the error goes away. Or try later.
Choosing “Don’t update and run offline” directs me to the Orgin login and says “Origin login is currently unavailable.” And it won’t let me login. Have you encountered this?
Maybe it says “ONLINE login is currently unavailable.” Just ignore it. I made the instructions to make it clearer.

Load the game from sims 4 icon instead
After a couple of tries and repeating the steps, IT FINALLY FREAKING WORKED! THANK YOU.
Same! I selected disable “Automatically update Origin” and quit Origin I ran the below steps (1, 2, 3) and it appeared an error message from Origin “Origin login is currently unavailable.” Then I did the same steps 4 times until don’t see the error message.
1. Run “fix OriginClient”
2. Run “add fake entitlements”
3. Open Origin and choose the option “Don’t update and run offline”
Hope it helps.
i dont see this option anywhere. where is this option?
I can’t see it either- where is this?
try scrolling down this thread. there’s an explanation.
I made the instructions to make it clearer.

i finally did it and it worked. thx.
how do you fix origin client
follow this link
Do we know if Origin are even working to fix this? I can’t see anything anywhere else online saying there are issues :/
I don’t see any updates as well! @eahelp on Twitter says “connectivity issues” have been fixed but apparently it’s not.
I managed to find a thread here:
https://answers.ea.com/t5/Origin-Mac-Client-Technical/Origin-Client-Won-t-Update-No-Matter-What-I-Do/td-p/12596874/page/3
Everyone should click ‘help’ on origin and ‘origin error reporter’ to report the error
Important info for Mac players using DLC Unlocker
Anadius wrote:
EA fucked up and Origin on Mac is stuck in an update loop. You update Origin and it tells you there’s a new update. You restart Origin to update it – and it still says there’s a new update. As the DLC Unlocker instructions say, you have to install it again after each Origin update. So if you have automatic Origin updates enabled – you can’t use DLC Unlocker, because on each Origin launch it updates and removes the Unlocker. So here’s how you should install DLC Unlocker (for now at least, until EA fixes their shit):
1. Open Origin (if you see the “Origin Requires an Update” window – select the second option, “Update Origin”).
2. Open Origin settings (hover over your username, select “Application Settings”), scroll down and under “Client Update” disable “Automatically update Origin”.
3. Run the game.
4. Quit the game, quit Origin.
5. Run “fix OriginClient” script.
6. Run “add fake entitlements” script – skip the part that tells you to run the game, you already did it.
7. Open Origin – click “Don’t update and use Origin in offline mode”.
8. Run the game.
If you get some error in Origin after 7th step, like “Well, that didn’t go as planned” – ignore it and continue to the next step. Just run the game from Applications folder.
If it still doesn’t work – reset Origin (https://help.ea.com/help/origin/origin/how-to-reset-origin-on-mac/) and try again from the first step.
Unfortunately you won’t be able to use the gallery but at the moment of writing this the gallery is down anyway. So let’s hope EA fixes both of those issues soon.
Thank you for this update!
I followed all the steps. However, on step 7, upon opening Origin it directs me to the login interface and it says “Origin login is currently unavailable.” I can’t even log in to use Origin. :/
Thank you!! Followed this and it worked!
The game run my DLC again, but I still have the problem that my sims won’t move or do anithing? Any clue on what should I do, I even tried an deleted all my CC, the won’t ansewr to any command but just stand there. I can ongly build, but my gameplay is basically stuck
i have the same problem. if anyone know how to fix this, pls help
In the game it says I own the packs but they aren’t installed
I am having this same issue. did you ever figure out how to fix it?
Unfortunately this hasn’t worked for me. I don’t even have access to purchase packs. Any suggestions? Not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help appropriated.
Appreciated*
Are there any updates? 🙁 all of my DLCs are still not working
Still not working for me as well.
OMG it’s been more than 24 hours!
i love how all of us are here waiting for an update, i keep checking this thread i just want my packs back 😭
i have a week off and was looking forward to play my legacy save and now i cant even open my game :/
packs are still missing when I opened the game. Origin needs to be fixed I guess. I followed the DLC unlocker again and it didn’t work. Hopefully they will fix the “keep asking for update” issues
ufff what a release yesterday when i saw your comments. thanks to the community! here still not working neither. I guess its an opportunity to go back to our roots and appreciate the basic game haha. BTW, one question. now when i execute “add fake entitlements” and i choose sims 4 it says: Couldn’t find entitlement files, you were supposed to start the game!
does this happen to any of you? thank you!
I was once like that, because I was wrong in with the steps. maybe you are also wrong in the steps. you better watch videos of lamps on youtube. it will help. thx
it shows as usual for me for the “add fake entitlements” but my sims 4 DLC doesn’t work as everyone
same here so I decided to deleted everything and redownload all of it, but the steps Im doing now is deleted my sims 4 and origin, and only redownloaded my origin for wait until they fixed the updating issue
I’m having that issue as well
Hi, I also updated Origin after the dlc all disappeared, so I repeatedly uninstalled and installed it or it didn’t work, my house and characters all disappeared 😭
yep still not working:)
bruh on my day off
i was told to delete origin, reset origin with this tool, then try again. It didn’t work for me, but here’s the link to download the reset origin tool. https://help.ea.com/en-gb/help/origin/origin/how-to-reset-origin-on-mac/ was told to delete origin, reset origin with this tool:
I’m mad that i just now found this comment section earlier cuz. i just deleted everything and have to start over. only to find out its a glitch or something. Dang the universe works in crazy ways. Thanks to all for the updates. Will be checking back soon!
same
As of 4:40 PM nothing is working 🙁
5/25/23 Update 4:00pm EST — I’ve repeated step 5 as 2 hours ago they announced things were fixed. However, everything still says unowned 🙁 Did anyone get theirs to work?
tried 10 different times for the last 2 hours and still doesn’t work for me too 🙁
Not working for me either. Just a continuous circle of updating, restarts Origin, looks ok but then says a restart needed to install updates. Tried opening Sims 4 anyway and all DLCs gone. This is almost 9:22pm (UK time on 25th May).
I have the same result as you, since I clicked update origin, the dlc is all gone, no matter how much I uninstall and rework it or not.
nope, still in the cycle of updating, running command, opening the game and no packs 🙁
Sims 4 say for my packs to work it I need to restart required how do I do that
FOR THOSE ON MAY 25TH W/ ORIGIN NOT WORKING/ UPDATING CORRECTLY (as of 12:40PM EST!) Their websites says to follow @EAhelp on Twitter for updates, this is probably why our DLCs are not working! 🙂
Thank you for the update, you are slightly calming the major anxiety attack I was in… For a minute I had nightmare flashes of money leaving my bank account because I would legit have to go buy everything, I could not go back to playing without all the packs…
Grace you’re amazing! Thank you for updating us! We’ll hang in there, I’ll let you guys know if I get it to work.
Thank you so much, I would really appreciate that. I will do the same if I get it.
I’m having the exact same problem as everyone below. Origin keeps saying installing new update, all dlc are gone if I play offline even bought ones. Iv done all the steps again, was working perfectly yesterday so I know Im doing the steps correctly. Help me please
its likely something on origin’s side, as its not updating correctly
I updated origin and now the dlc does not show up anymore and I already tried all the steps again but it still doesn’t work. What do I do ?
Origin keeps asking to restart to install update even though I already pressed that like 10 times. I also tried re downloading everything, I even actually owned some packs and I can only see them if I start the game while online, if I start the game offline everything comes up as unowned, even the ones I actually purchased.
like those mentioned below, as of 8:05am I’ve redone the needed steps for when Origin updates on my MacBook Air, but nothing shows up as owned anymore 🙁
Does your origin update actually work? My one doesnt update on my mac at all it just gets stuck then reopens the app
nope! origin update not workin
mine hasn’t been working either – do you reckon this is the reason why the dlc’s aren’t working??
Apparently there seems to be a problem with Origin and EA servers. Many games aren’t working and Origin wont update correctly
does anyone’s origin say its broken cuz mine does…
same heeere
Same problem here. I uninstalled and reinstalled origin many times.still doesn’t work . I even cleared origin cache but every time I reopen orgin it updates
Literally came here to say the same thing, I’ve tried running the fix command and redownloading it all, I only just got the game to work properly three days ago ahah, does anyone have a fix for it yet? Also every time I open origin it says it updating then finishes updating and restarts like a constant cycle lol
it seems like everyones origin is just constantly updating :)))) lucky us. wonder when it will be fixed :/
all my DLC are showing unowned, I have erased everything and tried reinstalling in several occasions and nothing works, help please!
Kiki, same thing here. I noticed Origin got updated and now everything is showing as Unowned.
same!!!
same with me i dont know why
I am having the same issue as well
If anyone figures it out please share! I’ll keep trying, keep you guys posted.
the same thing is happening to me :/
same, pls let me know when the unlocker works again! ever since the update the game keeps saying that i dont own any of the packs
same, i’ve updated origin and redid step 5. redownloaded origin and went through the process again, but the packs are all showing up as unowned as of 05/25/23 4:05 AM EDT
me too it’s so frustrating
did u solve this problem?
im having this same problem so I decided to delete my old dlc’s and Redownload them. ill keep everyone updated on how it went.
how did it go?
I have the same issue since Origin updated! any solution yet?
All the DLCs I have downloaded are showing up as “required packs”. I’ve ran the origin unlocked again and still nothing is working.
Everything showing up as unowned :/
My dlc is showing up as unowned.
Mine too, hope it’s figured out soon.
I need help, my packs are showing up as unowned.
il gioco funziona correttamente anche con tutti i DLC, ma non mi si apre la galleria, dice che devo andare online ma in questo modo non mi apre il gioco, avete dei consigli?
i cant figure out step 6, when i open the file it just says when i last came online, same with the fixoriginclient command
when I enter CAS or build and buy all of the items are covered with a colourful background and a question mark or have a big Red Cross over them. Packs that I bought a while back work perfectly. I am also unable to click on the lots from the new packs I downloaded.
Yeah same did you find a solution.
Not yet as soon as I have it I will let you know
I have the same problem, you fixed it?
can you let us know when you are able to fix this.. I’m having the same issue too
my sims d0esnt 0pen anym0re When I click on it It says that the application is not working
the links on the direct links page have vanished?
Well I thought I did everything right, done ti twice and both times, after I opened the game offline and try to select other worlds besides the base game ones,it pops up a warning saying oops something went wrong.Thoughts ?
i’ve downloaded one dlc successfully and it works in my game but when i repeat steps 4-5 to download more dlcs in my mac like theyve said, it doesn’t work. please help.
It says I own them but they’re not popping up in the game, what does this mean?
Put the packs in a different folder and complete them step by step. It should show then
It means that the dlc unlocker is working and that the dlc is in de wrong file
I have the same problem. It says that I need the base game and internet connection to play but I have both?
It also says that I just have pree-booked the packs?
What means?
Does anyone know why is says download to use once I have chosen both the packs and ran the DLC unlocker? Am I missing a step? If anyone knows how to sort this please lmk 🙂
are any of the packs broken? parts of my game won’t work
Me too, ever since I downloaded the new game pack my sims won’t interact even when I uninstall all cc
I have a similar problem. The packs downloaded but the content in the packs, especially clothes in CAS, are broken as if they’re custom content. I don’t know how to fix it.
i miss having all the dlc packs for mac 🙁 anyone know anywhere else you can download them as a mac user that works?
i have downloaded all yesterdayy download this -> https://krakenfiles.com/view/V5gAwE0dxZ/file.html and just use utorrent to make it a iso file, then just mount it and theres all the packs js follow all the stepss
how do u mount? and what’s utorrent
See the items under the tab Utilities
just double click on the disc file
okayy so i checked and it says ‘download to use’ can anyone help me with that?
I would also like to know
same
hii does anyone know why like the stuff from packs wont show up? 🙁 i have installed the DLCs many times before and i did everything right, it shows up that i have them but when i go into cas theres no clothing,aspirations etc and no build mode stuff 🙁
I have the clothes but they’re broken! It’s so weird. I have the content from the packs but when I use them in CAS, it looks like an outdated mod.
Same, you fixed yet?
The same thing is happening to me and I have no idea what to do 🙁
my game does not work correctly with it. it used to work but since the new pack came out and I didn’t download it yet, my sims won’t interact with one another. only when I go online on origin, then everything works but I obviously don’t have the packs. it just doesn’t work when I go offline and use the dlc…any help with this?
im having the same problem too! my game runs on online mode but i obv dont have the packs, once i go offline, i get a message saying sims4 quit unexpectedly. this is really frustrating as i tried many other things, i have deleted origin, redownloaded it, repaired the game and all. any help?
me too:(
Can you download this while already having real dlc?
Yes, you can
Solución ORIGIN:
Abrir el juego con el usuario conectado.
Después, abrir el menu del juego
Ir a Opciones del juego >> otros, y habilitar la opcion de mods y contenido personalizado.
IMPORTANTE: No iniciar la partida del juego.
Por último, cerrar el juego y realizar los pasos del unlocker.
Espero que os ayude, a mi si me funcionó. 🙂
i follow every steps but wene i start the game the dlc are in my list like i have bought them but is locked, like the scenarios are blocked
I have tried all the solutions in the comments from resetting the Origin app, re-installing both the game and Origin, cleaning the cache of the app but NOTHING is sorting the issue out. The game works Online but as soon as you select to go Offline, the game does not launch and crashes.
Please advise as it makes the game and the overall Unlocker pretty much useless for Mac users!
I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST MINE 🙁 it wont even load sims now,neither off or online
Let Origin repair your game
i did, now it wont even open the game even though i uninstalled it and installed it again, both sims4 and origin app, nothing works now. i tried removing all mods and dlc packs, but it just refuses to open the sims 4 now pls helpp
I have the same problem
Hi there, did you fix the issue? I have the same problem.
I wanted to download some new pack like growing together and high school years but every time I click on them it says blocked is this an issue or something Im confused
Yes, many files were reported to the authorities and were consequently blocked.
When you can use Winrar or simular in a Mac, try the All SP’s + FP for pack system.
Otherwise try All DLC’s for pack System for .iso folders.
So I’ve tried that. It’s shows every single game pack but it’s blocked out on the worlds and I’m only able you use the base game worlds…not even the worlds I actually paid for
Let Origin repair your game
can you please explain what you mean by this?
Use the Origin or the EA app to update your game to the latest version
hi im having the same problem and I’ve done this, but it still doesn’t work. do you have any other suggestions? thanks so much
Hi there, can someone please help me figure out the whole making a file readable thing. That’s where i’m stuck at
has anyone solved the game opening problem? mine still isn’t opening :/
Olá, não estou a conseguir abrir o jogo, existe algum erro?
Do you have sp13 , I removed that and my game opens
Is anyone having trouble with the seance table, vanity mirror, hiring a butler, etc. My sim resets and cancels the interaction. I’ve disabled laundry day but still a problem 🙁
yeah a bunch of random objects or interactions do that for me – toddler slide, talking to the hamster, using the bar, etc. didn’t figure out what’s wrong
Hi!
I’m having trouble getting the game to work.
I downloaded the updated version of the Unlocker as it was said in the comments (thank you) but when I go offline and open the game the sims 4 icon appears in dock and disappears immediately and the game won’t open. I really don’t know how to do to make it work. Can anyone help me please?
I had this same issue. It would open fine online but of course when playing online you lose all of the packs. I fixed it by downloading the reset origin tool and resetting origin that way, then running the origin unlocker again 🙂
Hi Sofia, did you fix it? I have the same issue.
same here, I already tried to repair the game, etc but the game refuses to open
Hi, is anyone having trouble with plopsy or freelancer careers (to send for client’s approval option?)? It not working for me :/
Seems that this method is now banned :C
don’t worry people, sims now won’t load.
I guess we just have to wait for a new origin fix for mac
is there a rough timeline on when it could come out?
anadius already updated the unlocker on his site…
download from there and it should work again, did for me
is this why my game says I own them but that they haven’t been downloaded yet? If so, can you link his site?
type anadius sims 4 in google you’ll find it
Thank you Tina!
he did but the new unlocker works only in windows
checked his log, he updated the v1 for mac too it when the new kits came out. i also have a mac, that’s why i’m commenting on a mac related post lol
i unistalled dlc unlocker n origin then i reinstalled these. anadius told that. this pirated dlcs to legal origin base game worked 4 me but in the past few days it doesnt work anymore. when i go offline n start the game via origin, sims 4 icon appears in dock n dissappears immediately n the game wont open do u get it?
I have the same exact problem. I’ve been looking everywhere on this site but it just won’t work and I keep checking back everyday to see if it gets updated or fixed but it hasn’t so far
it works for Mac users? I didnt find there 🙁 Mine opens, but seems like i dont have the dlc
Hola, me pasa lo mismo, desde ayer no puedo entrar al juego desconectada de Origin, desinstale e instale el juego, volví a seguir todos los pasos nuevamente, y nada. El juego si funciona conectado a Origin
My game is not opening too today! I tried the fix origin client comment, removed my mods, tray files and so on but it won’t open. I don’t know what to do :/
same here
Same here
same 🙁
It has happened to me too, but once I restarted the Mac it opened, the only struggle is that my sim won’t move or do anything. Nothing works… even when I’m in build mode everything glitches😅
can someone help me please. my games been running fine till this week and now when i try to launch in wont load. no error message it just fails to load the game. i have tried removing all cc but still nothing. if i go online on origin and load game it works but obviously non of the dlc’s are on the game. ive also tried repairing game. any suggestions? Thanks
same here
did u fix this?
I was having issues installing Growing Together for 3 weeks, I realised I wasn’t following the instructions properly so I tried it again today and it worked completely fine. If you’re struggling to install anything, just double check you are actually following the instructions properly 🙂
Hey, How do you get the packs installed on Origin? It says that i own all of the packs now, I just have to install them.
Anyone else having trouble with bust the dust and toddler stuff? Whenever I try to step on ghost bunnies my sims just reset, and same with the toddler accessories such as the slide etc.
dust bunnies*
same i have a problem with dust the bust
I can’t seem to run the command or I might be doing something wrong. It keeps saying “cd: too many arguments” and then nothing happens
Hey everyone, managed to get it working.
You need to go to System settings of your mac, than go to Privacy & Security, go to Accessibility and than go to “+” to add a new app, and add ‘Terminal’ to have full disc access.
Try to delete also the SP13 pack see if it works, but I think this ^ above should be good.
do i add sims 4 to the Accessibility part?
i downloaded the strangerville game pack, and i followed all the correct steps, the game even recognized that i “owned” it! but when i go to the strangerville world, there’s no lots i can access :/
i even made sure i wasn’t doing anything wrong and got eco lifestyle working just fine!
I have been trying for like 2 weeks for this to work and I seemed to not be able to do it. Can someone help me over discord or something???
I also have the same problem. I downloaded multiple packs and my game recognises that I “own”/“bought” them. But when I enter CAS or build and buy all of the items are covered with a colourful background and a question mark or have a big Red Cross over them. Packs that I bought a while back work perfectly. I am also unable to click on the lots from the new packs I downloaded.
Please can someone help, I have been struggling for days.
did y0u fix it
hi I’ve been doing this since yesterday and followed the steps carefully but the dlcs don’t show up in my legal game. i make sure im offline each time i start the game, i do the fix OriginClient.command thing each time i download a pack and even make sure it’s saved on the sims 4 packs folder. is anyone else having this issue? idk what to do :/
Hii, can someone please tell me what should we do with the question marks problem ? I have mods and cc but I have no idea which one can cause it and I saw that people with no mods get this problem as well. I finally got it to work it’s just the thing that DLC content looks like it can’t be rendered 🙁
I had the same issue (mac user) – I didn’t have any CC (so sorry if this isn’t relevant) but the DLC would not render – what I had to was update origin and sims 4 (you can do this by clicking the three dots next to the game description) – then I made sure that my sims 4 game and origin were both in my application folder – when adding the packs i just repeated step 1 again – now everything works 🙂
sorry just to make it clear by ‘step 1’ I mean running the command and add fake entitlements
I think I did everything but it still doesn’t work so maybe someone has another way :(( but thanks anyway<3
I need help, i have used this since January with no problems but today i think i accidentally deleted a file that made the DLC unlocker work? When I start my game it says i don’t have the packs and i cannot tell what i did wrong or what i deleted. Should i just redo the whole process again? I have all the DLCS already downloaded will they all go away if if i restart the orgin dlc unlocker process again?
Re-download the Unlocker and run it again.
Hey! So I actually had the same problem, but you have to run the fix entitlements in the Unlocker first, and then follow the steps from step 6 again. Then it should be back! I struggled with this for a couple of days but finally figured it out.
What do you mean run it first? Does the unlocker have to be in the Packs folder for it to work?
Hello. Recently I have played the Sims 4 on Mac, and when I demand my sims to do something, they either do it without going to the object or they don’t do the action at all. At first, I thought it was the mods causing the issue so I disabled the mods. however, it only happens when I have the free dlcs on the game. What do I do?
Its the Laundry Day pack, you’ve gotta get rid of it and it should work.
Hello, I have a problem executing “6. Run “add fake entitlements.command” and do what it says.” I have followed the instructions as it said but in the end I got message “Couldn’t find entitlement files, you were supposed to start the game!” after this origin seems to be broken and I can’t event start the base game.
Hey! sorry to bother but i followed the instructions for the download stuff for mac, but when i enter the game it says the packs are installing and ill get a message when theyre done. it says i have all the packs but they dont show up in the actual game.
Did you ever get a notification that it finished?
make sure that u have ZERO packs downloaded through origin if u do you need to delete them from your dlc folder
I don’t know how to delete them though from origin, but when I go in the game they aren’t there either.
same and the game is twaking out
I’m still having the same issue, I downloaded over a week ago. I got the message that I will get a message when they’re done and still haven’t got one to this day. it says on the main screen I have the packs but when I go into CAS it says I don’t own them and when picking a world it only has the basic three. I don’t know what else to do because I’ve clearly done it right, I quadruple checked. I have even deleted everything and redownloaded it but it’s still not working. if you find a way to have it fixed, let me know please. thank you <3
hii!! so i had the same problem where it said that i had to download to use even though i did everything right as i have downloaded them before so yeah. go to finder and search up ‘the sims 4 packs’ and see if theres two because thats what happened to mine i have somehow had a second folder which wasnt the one i shouldve put the DLCs in i hope it helpedd <33
yes this one solved my problem too, thanks
I have tried to follow all the steps in the video that is on the page and nothing has worked, I put the packs in the right place as indicated on the page, also the origin Unlocker is working, it does not even appear that I have the packs in the game, I have tried to put the packs in different parts and has not worked either, I do not know if it is my Macbook Pro that does not have the requirements, but I have enough space on my computer, I do not know what else to do, I would be grateful if someone can help me.
im having the same problem i keep trying and its not working. mines an air idk if i get it to work ill let you know
Same with me, no matter how many times I follow the steps it never works.
The DLC’s I am having problems with are laundry day which I know other people are too as it doesn’t allow the player to give commands and the sims either t pose or don’t register the command,Bust the dust kit I am getting dust and dust bunnies but when it comes to removing them I cannot ,my sims cancel the action whenever it is given to them and I can’t remove the dust with a vacuum or by stomping on the dust bunnies and am just left with a dirty house and I am also having problems with movie hangout the cas and BB items work fine but when I click on my tv to watch movie, watch movie with or to select a specific movie to watch my sims t-poses and cant watch the tv. If I have problems with anymore DLC’s I will update
Hi, so i havent downloaded this yet but i was just wondering whether cc and wickedwhims mods are playable with no problems? please let me know thank you 🙂
For me it works with mods just fine!
