Pack System: Add DLC’s to your legal base game (Mac version)

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

  1. Log in to your Origin account
  2. Click on the word Origin (left top bar)
  3. Click Application Settings
  4. Click Application
  5. 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

  1. Download a small file Origin DLC Unlocker v1
  2. Double-click to extract the downloaded file
  3. Quit Origin (closing the window is not the same)
  4. Ignore the Windows files
  5. From the downloaded and extracted file Run “fix OriginClient.command”.
    If you get an error stating the file comes from an unidentified developer – right click that file and select “Open”.
    If you get an error stating you don’t have appropriate access priviliges – make the script file executable
  6. Run “add fake entitlements.command” and do what it says.

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)

  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. 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:

  1. Make sure you’ve repeated “STEP 1” for the DLC Unlocker
  2. Download chosen DLC’s (via https://sims.tarac.nl/direct-links-to-packs/) and extract the folder from the .iso file* (e.g. SP35)
  3. 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
  4. Drag your DLC folder (e.g. SP35) into ‘The Sims 4 Packs’ folder
  5. Download the DLC Unlocker again and run: “fix OriginClient.command”
  6. Open Origin and go to: Account > Go Offline (in the menu bar)
  7. 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)

  1. Download the DLC’s from this site
  2. Mount the downloaded DLC
  3. Copy  folders from the mounted iso to the folder of your legal game
  4. re-download the Unlocker and repeat step 5 of Step 1
  5. Play the game via the legal installation folder – Game ->Bin ->TS4_x64 or shortcut thereof. (or directly via Origin)

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:
[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!

STEP 4 (add future DLC’s to your game)

  1. Download the torrent for the new DLC
  2. Extract by double-click
  3. Copy the downloaded and extracted folder  to your legal The Sims 4 folder
  4. 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.


Adding DLC’s: Suitable for Windows and Mac

  1. Go to this link
  2. Select the DLC you want
  3. Click on Download
  4. Mount the downloaded .iso
  5. Copy the DLC to the  Packs folder (Mac) or to your installation folder (Windows)

 

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)

Download the Language Strings, extract with Winrar and copy all folders to your legal installation folder
When you have all languages installed, download the Language Changer, double-click and select your language.
In our downloads all languages are already installed.
You can activate the Language-changer from anywhere on your computer, no specific folder required.

      1. I accidentally said open the sims 4 as online as offline. And YES, purchased packs do interfere with tarac’s method!!

    1. 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

    2. 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!!

    3. 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.

    4. 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?

  2. 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?

  3. 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.

    1. 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?

  4. 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!

      1. 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.

      2. 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?

  5. 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?

    1. 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

      1. 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

  6. 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!

      1. 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”!

  7. 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.

  8. 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!

  9. 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

    1. 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

      1. Gonna tear my hair out…repeated EVERYTHING redownloaded everything…still shoes EP14 on preorder. Help?

    2. 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

  10. 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?

    1. used this and it worked for me. ran 5 and 6 of Step 1 after moving EP14 in my Sims 4 Packs folder.

  11. i downloaded the horse ranch pack and added it to the sims 4 packs folder, but even after following all of the steps, it still didnt work in game?

      1. when I go offline without going the dlc unlock it load up and when I do unlock it say the sims 4 quit unexpectedly and I clean my mods out

  12. When i turned origin offline, my packs are showing up but are saying pre-ordered but not downloaded. I’m still unable to play how do i fix this? (I have a mac)

  13. hello I finally made it work by watching the tutorial but now my cc are gone in-game. does someone know what can I do about this? when the game starts I even get the confirmation for my mods and scripts but none of it shows up in the game except for scripts

  14. I’ve been trying over and over in my Mac but it doesn’t work, all the dlcs show and in the game all of the packs are there but they show like if I haven’t downloaded them. 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!!!

    1. Please let me know if youve found a solution im having the exact same problem and its driving me crazy.

  15. 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

    1. thank you so much this worked for me downloading the eps off utorrent instead of the other one made my eps work!!!

  16. 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?

  17. 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 !

    1. 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

      1. 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!

  18. 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.

    1. 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!

      1. Correction! I meant I don’t have cottage living, growing together, and high school years. But werewolves don’t work either lol.

  19. 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.

  20. 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.

  21. 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.

  22. 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

    1. 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?

  23. 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.

    1. 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

  24. 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??

  25. 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.

  26. why there is no ability to use direct links to packs? I used to download DLC with this method 🙁

  27. 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

    1. 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:

  28. 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?

  29. 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

  30. 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?

      1. 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

        1. mine did the same exact thing, says the packs are pre ordered and I have to download them.

          1. Mine says I own them and they should be downloaded, they just do not appear in build/buy

  31. SP42 et SP43 me fonctionne pas ? une solution a telle etait trouver, tout le reste focntionne parfaitement

  32. 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?

    1. 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.

      1. 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.

        1. 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!

    2. 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!

    3. 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.

  33. 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!!

    1. 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

        1. after u did that did u delete the dlc unlocker and download it back and rerun the dlc commands?

      1. 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…

      2. Hi! Mine looks like this Applications> sims 4 pack> sims 4-all DLC’s.iso

        what should I do? please help !

      3. 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??

  34. 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.

    1. 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

  35. 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!

    1. 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.

    2. 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!

  36. everytime i run add fake entitlements and select the sims 4, “it says script failed at the step 1” any solutions?

  37. 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.

  38. 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.

    1. 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

      1. 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!

      2. 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.

    2. 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.

    3. 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 !

    4. 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.
