How to install the Sims 4 via Origin and also have cracked DLC’s

None of the cracked Sims 4 games provide access to the Gallery. NEW: see This Page

As soon as you add cracked DLC’s to your Origin version, you’ll loose access to the Gallery.
When you update such mixed versions via Origin you loose your cracked DLC’s.

Things to consider:

  • By default Origin installs the Sims 4 in C:\Program Files x64\Origin Games\The Sims 4 and creates an entry in the register for that location.
  • The cracked G4TW version (and most other downloads) installs the Sims 4 in C:\Program Files (x64)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 and requires moving the Sims 4 folder out of Electronic Arts to f.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\The Sims 4 afterwards. Our direct downloads offer you the choice of your destination folder.
  • Most all-in-ones can be played directly from the downloaded .iso file and the contents of that .iso can be copied to any destination on your computer or even external Hard Disk.

The safe (and recommended) ways of installation.

A. You already have the Sims 4 installed via Origin and you want to add cracked DLC’s.

  1. Create a new folder on your (external) HDD (hard disk drive) and give it a name like My Sims Games.
  2. Place this new folder under the exceptions of your anti-virus program.
  3. Copy (not move) the folder The Sims 4 from C:\Program Files (x64)\Origin Games\ to this new folder My Sims Games and make a new shortcut from:
    64-bits Windows: My Sims Games\The Sims 4\Game\Bin\ TS4_x64.exe
    32-bits Windows: My Sims Games\The Sims 4\Game\Bin_LE\TS4.exe
  4. Add new cracked DLC’s to that new location (Delete the folder Game and then copy/paste the files and folders from the download to My Sims Games\The Sims 4)

Now you can play both the Origin based version (with access to the Gallery) and the cracked version,

B. You already have a cracked version and want to install the Origin version as well.

  1. Simply Install the Sims 4 via your Origin-account.
  2. Origin will create a new shortcut for your desktop

Now you can play both versions.


Download items from the Gallery

As both versions use the same data directory for the progress of your game c:\User\your username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4, Gallery-items will be available for both versions
You can safely download from the Gallery via the Origin based game but NEVER EVER save an Origin- game because items from cracked DLC’s will get lost !

Use the Origin based game only for access to the Gallery, Play with the cracked version


Problem

When you open the Origin based game, Origin will try and update that game to the latest version which might not correspond with the cracked version, resulting in an error message such as

Unable to start:

The contents of your user data directory were created by a new version of The Sims 4 and cannot be loaded. Please update your game via Origin to play. 

Ignore that message and do the following:
Go to the folder of your data directory,  C:\User\your username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 and delete the file GameVersion.

Or

Update your cracked game to the latest version either by torrents or direct downloads

When you play a cracked game make sure that Origin is not active on your computer.
