- Open the file file RldOrigin.ini with f.e. Notepad
- Change the line Language= with the code for your desired language, such as it_IT for Italian. (Language=it_IT)
- Save the amended file
- Start your game as an Administrator every time you’ve changed a language.
Note: Most languages create a new folder The Sims 4, Die Sims 4, Los Sims 4 etc. in the folder Documents\Electronic Arts, so you might lose your previously created Houses, Sims aso. When necessary, copy your folders Saves and Tray to the newly created folder.
