Download, update, repair your game and add missing DLC’s.
Thanks to Anadius
Version 1.79.93.1030 from base game up-to and incl. Spa Day Refresh
“Wizard” Anadius came up with a program enabling you to update and repair your game with just a few mouse-clicks.
No manual downloads, no copy/paste, the program does it all
 |
Always check for the latest version of the updater, do not rely on previously downloaded versions. Latest Updater version: 0.5.4 Updater Download includes:
Extract with Winrar or 7-Zip |
 |
Click on Browse and select your The Sims 4 Installation Folder Click on Update, this will also repair your game Language files will be installed if not already present. |
 |
With cracked games only, just click No
If you do have a legit game or you are using the pack system, click Yes |
 |
Click OK |
 |
You can just update your existing game without adding DLC’s (Click OK)
The program shows an overview of non-installed DLC’s You can Add missing DLC’s Note for users with 32-bits WindowsBear in mind that Discover University, Tiny Living, Eco Lifestyle, Nifty Knitting, Star Wars, Snowy Escape, Paranormal, the kits and Dream Home Decorator can not be played on 32 bits Windows, so no need to download these DLC’s. Also note that the Legacy Edition is for 32 bits Windows only
|
 |
The program is now checking all your installed DLC’s for the latest update and adds the ticked items to your game
|
| Now play your updated/repaired game and you see that all DLC’s are in the game, even those DLC’s you have not installed.. From the download of the Updater, copy the files dlc and dlc-toggler to your installation folder. Run the dlc-toggler |
|
 |
All non-installed DLC’s are marked in red. In the picture, all SP’s
Uncheck the red boxes and close the toggler Make sure all non-red items are ticked When you now start your game it’s clearly visible which items are installed and which are not. |
 |
Should an error occur, just repeat your last selections. All items already downloaded are stored in the folder Update. The program performs a quick check and continues the task. (Make sure that the Updater is under the exceptions of your anti-virus) |
Where is the base game ?
When you did not install the base game earlier, you should use the Repair option and the base game will be installed as well as your selected DLC’s.
Some people wish to play the fully updated base game without other DLC’s (lack of disk-space or computer not powerful enough ?). In such cases Click Repair and don’t tick other DLC’s.
First of all create a new folder The Sims 4 on your computer. Place that folder under the exceptions of your Anti-Virus program Lead the updater in the first step to that folder.
Change language
- In the downloaded updater you’ll find a file called Language Changer
- Double-Click on it and select your language
- Click Yes, Yes and OK in the pop-up screens.
Error about missing .dll files
New users who never played The Sims 4 before on a Windows 10 machine get that error.
- In the downloaded updater you’ll find a folder # vcredist
- Open that folder
- Double-Click on all (6) files (one by one)
Do you have problems with the Updater ?
| Too slow or certain files not found ? You can also manually use the updater by downloading the updates from THIS WEBSITE
Example: Suppose your present version is 1.77.146.1030 and you want to update to the latest version (presently 1.79.93.1030)

hi so i have a question… when i downloaded the sims, i mounted the iso file. it runs well but i still cant mess with it and now when i try to update by the anadius updater, it says that i dont have the permission to modify files. please help me! im crying i want to update my game
You tried to modify the .iso file and that is not possible.
You must lead the Updater to your installation folder of the Sims 4 and not to the iso.
I just wanted to say thank you so much to both the actual Wizard Anadius for creating this tool, and to the people running this page.
I’ve been a user of Anadius’ tools for a while now and they’ve always done what I needed and now its gone above and beyond and given me access to the gallery as well.
Even this update says its good for patch ver 1.79, but when I used it, it automatically updated my game to patch ver 1.80, going even more above my expectations.
So thanks again, I really appreciate all the work you guys do!
Wait, does that mean it already has the newest update??
Does anyone know when will this have the 1.80.69.1030 update that came out today? Jw
The update is ready, he just hasnt updated the page info
OMG, I can’t wait till he doesssss. This is insane. The Sims team finally stepping up their game
see THIS PAGE
I was trying to install just the base game. I was at 70% and I tried to leave my laptop open but forgot to turn off the sleep mode. Am i going to install from scratch? Will it continue where it last installed some files? I hope it’ll continue the installed files.
The progress of the download is stored in the folder update inside the Updater.
So just start the Updater again with your previous instructions and after a short search it will continue where you left off.
hello my game is ver 1.66.139.1020 how can this work for me should I download the updates you put up there but it’s start with ver 1.71 is it gonna work with me .. I’m so afraid to lose my game but in the same time I want to update it too please can you help me >.<
Yes, the updater can update your game to the present version 1.79.58.1030
Thank you now im work on it but I have question did this updater just to update the game or it’s also downloads the dls and i can play with them ?
When you start the Updater it will show a list of non-installed DLC’s. You can then select which DLC’s you want to install with the update.
As soon as the update is successfully finished you have these selected DLC’s in your game and you can play them.
Hi! I followed the instructions both here and the note that came with the updater from Anadius. I updated and repaired the game multiple times, there would be times that I’ll use gallery and everything has an X mark and when I click on it, ‘could not locate this file’ is appearing but I’m online. Also, whenever one sim go to class and they go home, their status never changed; they’re still “at class” so they couldn’t attend another class. I tried to reload the game and do it over again but this would happen. I can’t access their inventory, and I can’t also change how they work/study such as “Work Hard” and all. I’m not sure if it’s making sense but I hope you can help. Thank you very much!
Looks like a problem with mods
Move, not copy, the folder The Sims 4 from C:\Documents\Electronic Arts to your desktop.
Start your game. A new folder The Sims 4 will be created in C:\Documents\Electronic Arts
From the file on your desktop copy the folders Tray and Saves back to the newly created folder of The Sims 4.
Close and re-start your game.
Better now ?
I just did this and it all worked out, I can use the gallery and the status are working again. Thank you very much! I should check and update the mods just in case it’s the reason why there was a lag. Thank you once again!
I just updated my game and added the cottage living pack. It says I own cottage living but I have to download to use. I’m confused because I wouldn’t own it if I didn’t download it from the updater. Is there something else I should be doing in order to play this pack?
run the updater again and this time put a check in the box for Cottage Living
I have an old version of sims 4 (ver. 1.13.104). Can I still update my game with this? And is there a way where I can download each patch manually instead of updating it in one go?
There is a site where you can update per patch from version 1.58 upwards. Your version is way too old.
Nevertheless it should be possible via the Anadius Updater to update from 1.13 to the present version 1.79 (Use the option Repair instead of Update)
When you have at least a legal base game let Origin update your game and use the Pack System to add the missing DLC’s manually. However you better download an all-in-one.
Other, good, way to update your game is the Anadius Repack. You can then select which packs you want to install as well.
where is the no origin fix? 🙁
No origin fix is included in your download via the Updater. It’s in the folder Game->Bin and consists of the files Anadius, anadius64.dll, anadius64online.dll and TS4_x64
Never mind I didn’t read the instructions well enough it seems. I am now copying the game to my computer and trying again.
I mounted the game following the instructions so that it is now on a new “Dvd station”, but that disk is put to ‘read only’, and now your update program can’t get to it, even when I run as administrator. How do I fix this 🙁

Copy the contents of the mounted disk to the hard disk of the computer or to the installation folder of the Sims 4 depending on what you are trying to achieve.
What did you mount ?
Is the updater updating on its own when new pack comes out?
No, you must run the updater again after release of a new pack
I file in winrar in alcune cartelle del gioco vanno estratte o lasciate così?
Dipende da dove sono quei file.
I download in formato Winrar devono essere prima estratti.
Se ci sono ancora file winrar dentro dovresti lasciarli così come sono.
Nevermind it was one of my mods. Sorry!
WHICH ONE??? I’m having the same problem
Got it. It was the T.O.O.L.
Hi,
I just updated the game and it worked fine so thanks for that.
But when I open a menu, for example ‘purchase gift’ on my phone the screen stays blurred and the menu doesn’t show up. I also can’t get out of the ‘frozen’ screen.. The only option is to restart the game.
Also when I click on ‘exit the game’ and it says ‘Are you sure?’ the menu looks a bit scuffed aswell..
Any fixes?
I ran the updater, the game wont update to 1.79.93.1030 it stays at 1.77.146.1030
Then you lead the Browse to an incorrect folder
Right-click on the shortcut for the Sims 4 on your desktop and select Open file location. You’ll see the TS4_x64 or TS4.exe file.
Click on the Arrow-up and you come to the Game folder
Again Arrow-up and you come to the contents of your installation folder
Another Arrow-up and you see the The Sims 4 folder = the one you should lead your Browse in the Updater to.
Can’t get spa day to work. I can’t see the new accessories feature in CAS mode.
never mind, its my mod folder.
I downloaded the update but now any of my expansion packs don’t show up in the game. I’ve got the base game from Origin and a bunch of expansion packs from here, and it was working perfectly fine before the update. Help?
I just updated Spa Day yayyy
Ty 🙂
