Add pirated DLC’s to your legal The Sims 4 Game for free (Windows only)

Pack System: Add pirated DLC’s to your legal The Sims 4 Game for free
+ full access to the Gallery + always automatically the latest version.

Again thanks to Anadius

When you have at least the Sims 4 base game via Origin or Steam you can add pirated DLC’s to your legal game for free.
Announcement by EA: From 18th October 2022, the base game will be free of charge, you then only pay for the additional packs.

  • Always automatically the latest version (Origin updates it for you)
  • No problems with anti-virus (there are no cracks)
  • Much smaller downloads
  • Easier to add missing DLC’s for free
  • Less problems with your CC
  • Access to the Gallery (no longer switching between legal and pirated versions)
  • No hassle with remid cookie
  • Play via Origin or Steam as if you bought all DLC’s from Origin/Steam
  • Save a lot of disk space (up-to almost 50 GB) as you keep legal and cracked versions in 1 single folder and you can delete the cracked installation folder

New DLC’s however must still be added manually (step 3), although much smaller in size.

Do not use any other system to update as such systems will overwrite your Legal Game folder and you will loose access to the Gallery and render your The Sims 4 as cracked


When you use the Anadius Updater or the Anadius Repack always answer Yes to this question ——>.
These programs will leave your Legal folder Game untouched and create a new Game-cracked folder inside your legal folder.
IMPORTANT:
In the undermentioned details we use as an example the folder C:\Program Files (x64) -> Origin Games -> The Sims 4
Depending on the language you chose for your original installation that folder could well be Les Sims 4, Die Sims 4, Los Sims 4, De Sims 4 or other.

It looks like that since the last update by Origin your cracked DLC’s no longer show up in game.

You must use the EA app now

Preparations in EA app

  1. Log in to your  account
  2. When you have not yet done this: Download the free base game for the Sims 4

 

Preparations on your computer (optional)

The Sims 4 with all DLC’s consumes at present some 51 GB of disk space (version 1.89.214.1030) and growing with every new DLC released.
Maybe you do not have enough space on your drive C: but you have ample space on f.e. your drive D:
How to move your legal The Sims 4 from drive C: to another drive ? Don’t move it yourselves with copy/cut/paste

  1. Log in on Origin
  2. Go to My Game Library
  3. Right-click on the picture of the Sims 4
  4. Select Move Game
  5. Browse to the drive you want your game to be moved to
  6. (optional: Make a new folder, such as My Sims Games)
  7. Select the folder

Your complete folder The Sims 4 including your already added pirated DLC will be moved to the new location.
It will also amend the register-entries, your shortcut and all other elements.

When you also download this small file and put it on your desktop, it will open your legal installation-folder by just double-clicking it.

STEP 1

  1. Download a small file EA DLC Unlocker v2.
  2. Extract with Winrar
  3. Right-click on Setup and run as Administrator
  4. As this is a small .bat file you can’t use the mouse, so type 1 after Choose option Number
  5. When that is done, type 2
  6. Type 14 for the Sims 4
  7. Type Q to exit
 When you right-click on setup to open as Administrator you should see

 

 

 

 

 

 

As long as you don’t see EA Desktop detected, there is something wrong with the Administrator status and you get an error message.
IMPORTANT:
When you switch to the new EA app, you must re-apply the Unlocker as it should detect the Desktop version.
You must first type 5 to uninstall the Origin based settings, then type 1,2,14 and q again.		 The Unlocker should show Desktop detected instead of Origin detected

 

STEP 2

Locate your legal installation-folder 

For Origin: Probably C:\Program Files (x64) -> Origin Games -> The Sims 4
For Steam : Probably C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Sims 4

When you still have a shortcut for your legal game, right-click on it and select Open File location.
You come in Your Installation folder\Game\Bin. Click on arrow-up and you are in Your installation folder\Game. Again arrow-up and you have found your Installation folder.

You can also download this small file, double click when the download is completed and you’ll see your legal installation folder.

 

STEP 3 (To add missing or new DLC’s)

Copy the DLC’s from your cracked game (If you have a cracked game) Add DLC’s via the Anadius Updater:
  1. Open the installation folder for your cracked game
  2. Select the folders for the DLC’s and copy these folders to your legal Game
    Do not copy the folders Install, Data, Delta, Support and Game
  3. Still missing DLC’s: either use the Anadius updater or use one of the other methods (see below)
  1. Update your legal game (when there is a new version)
  2. In the Updater browse to the directory of your legal game, just select the folder, don’t open it.
  3. Click on Update
  4. When prompted about your legal game, select YES
  5. Tick the missing DLC’s
  6. Click OK

Other methods for adding DLC’s: Suitable for Windows and Mac

Download via torrents (selectable) in Winrar format Direct downloads in .iso format (selectable) All DLC’s in 1 iso download
  1. Download the torrent for EP’s for the packs in Winrar format
    Download the torrent for GP’s for the packs in Winrar format
    Download the torrent for FP and SP for the packs in Winrar format
  2. Make your selections
  3. When downloads are finished, select the .rar files
  4. Right-click on the selection and click Extract
  5. In the pop-up window search for the installation folder of your legal game
 Here you can select and add Packs in .iso format (no specific order required)

Go to this Page

or use the Anadius Updater (windows only)
  1. Download the torrent for the all-in-one DLC’s
  2. When download is finished mount the iso
  3. Copy the folders of the DLC’s to your legal installation folder.

Troubleshooting “Game not owned” or “download to use” or Scenarios do not appear

Start the game, click on the Packs tab, hover over the DLC icons (the ones you downloaded). Hover, not click! What does it say?
“Not Owned” – you didn’t follow the Unlocker instructions.
“Download to Use” – you put the DLC files in the wrong place, did not extract them or did not update the config file
“Owned” – everything should be fine.

Best way to solve this problem:

  1. Delete your present EA DLC Unlocker
  2. Download the latest EA DLC Unlocker from Step 1
  3. Extract with Winrar
  4. Run Setup as an Administrator
  5. Select 5 to undo earlier installations (you probably see an error message, in that case select 5 again)
  6. Select 1,2 and 14

When I start the game all my DLC’s are gone (often after an update)

When you installed the (free) legal base game via the EA app and ran the unlocker, you must not start the game via Origin.
Likewise when you installed via Origin and ran the Unlocker you must not start via the EA app.

When however this happened to you:

  1. Run the EA DLC Unlocker by right-clicking Setup and select as Administrator.
  2. Type 5 to uninstall previous installation
  3. Type 1, 2, 14 and q again.

Check the file location for your legal game

Sometimes users have created an installation folder that does not correspond to the settings in Origin.
When you start your game via Origin it will always lead to the folder as described in Origin and not to your self-made installation folder.
Consequently, added DLC’s in that self-made folder are not recognized.

Update the config file

After you added DLC’s to your legal game you must start your legal game either via Origin or via the shortcut you made from the The Sims 4\ Game\Bin\TS4_x64.exe in the legal folder of your The Sims 4 game.

The unlocker will then search for the DLC-folders in your legal game and updates the config file with the DLC’s you added.

Check your config file

When you now open the EA DLC Unlocker your added DLC’s should be visible when you run setup as an administrator, type 3,  open g_The Sims 4.

As you can see from this picture the latest kits have been added and should now be treated as Owned.

When all DLC’s upto and incl. Werewolves are added, the count (NAM) should be 81
Any figure lower than 81 means you do not have the latest version of the unlocker.

Easy way to check your installed packs

Some people complain about “not installed packs”.
There is a simple way to check this:

  1. Move, not copy,  the folder C:\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to your Desktop
  2. Run your game and you’ll see a welcome screen for each and every package installed
  3. When you only see your legally bought packs, Close your game and re-run the EA DLC Unlocker.
  4. Start your game again
  5. When you’ve seen all welcome screens, you know that your selected packs are included in your game.
  6. From the file on your desktop (item 1 above) copy the folder The Sims 4 back to C:\Documents\Electronic Arts

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 shouid 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)
Don’t re-install the game however, but:

Download the Language Strings, extract with Winrar and copy all folders to your installation folder
in case of genuine Origin downloads C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4.
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.

DLC-toggler

As the toggler searches for the crack it won’t work in the legal version simply because there is no crack.
You can remove unwanted DLC’s by deletion of the folder for the DLC.

Video on how you can add pirated dlc’s to your legal game

Basically it all comes down to:
1. Adding DLC’s to your legal The Sims 4 folder
2. Running the latest EA DLC unlocker
When you do it right, it can’t go wrong. It’s so simple.

  1. hello, can someone please help. so i downloaded the dlc files and mounted them, but when i try to copy them into the sims 4 installation folder, it tells me i dont have enough storage and i need to free up space, but i already have them downloaded?? so i dont understand why i need to free up an additional 33gb (the amount of gb the dlc pack was) just to copy them to the folder. also i had about 50gb freed up as it was said to do.

  2. Okay so the step one say i should click Yes when being asked about Legit Game because i ntsalled Sims 4 on Steam

  5. Hi all,

    I have been playing successfully for a few weeks using your method of adding pirated DLCs to my legit game. Today I tried to run the executable and it opened the EA app, but the game never started. I ran the DLC unlocker first uninstalling then reinstalling and tried again, and the same thing happened. I tried repairing the game through the EA app and the game still won’t run. I used the DLC updater and selected yes that I have a legit base game then ran the DLC unlocker again. Is there something I missed or an issue happening right now? Or is this something I need to troubleshoot on my end? Anything you all could suggest?

    1. Are you using mods ?
      When yes, move, not copy, the folder The Sims 4 from C:\Documents\Electronic Arts temporarily to your desktop
      Start your game again. It looks like you have a brand-new game without your own creations like your own Sims and Houses.
      When it now starts correctly, from the file on your desktop, copy the folders Saves and Tray back to the original location C:\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4.
      Leaves you with the tedious task to find out which mods caused the problem

      When you are not using mods:
      Make sure that you start your game from the legal installation folder Game\Bin\TS4_x64 and not from Game-cracked\Bin\TS4_x64
      If necessary re-run the EA DLC Unlocker, first type 5, then type 1,2,14 and q again.

      1. I downloaded the Unlocker and followed the steps. When I enter the game and click on a pack it says that I own them but I do not see them in the game. I’ve done 5, 1, 2, 14, q several times and it still doesn’t work.

  9. Hi! I’m loving the unlocker. I’m wondering what to do when origin is finally discontinued and I’ll have to switch to the EA app, because I bought the basegame through origin so it wouldn’t work with the EA app (I tried lol). Is the only way to get it to work uninstalling the game, downloading the basegame on a new account using the EA app, reinstalling it all then running the unlocker again or is there an easier way?

    Reply

    1. When you log in to the EA app with the same details (username, password) as you did for Origin, you can use the EA app and your legal base game should show.
      You can still use the Unlocker.
      You’ll have to type 5 first to uninstall the Origin version of the Unlocker and then 1,2,14 and q again.

  12. GUYS IVE FOUND THE SOLUTION. basically this website is to just UNLOCK THE DLC meaning you have to SEPARATELY DOWNLOAD THE DLC PACKS ITSELF and put it in the right folder. this is why it says “you already owned this pack” but when you hover over it, it says “download to use” so the dlc unlocker works perfectly fine, you just need to still download the dlc. the same person who made this unlocker has the DLC PACKS for download ( mac and windows ) ON THE THIRD POST of this website https://cs.rin.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?p=930237#p930237 there you can find on HOW to download the dlc and WHERE to put it. NOTE the third post is for people with the LEGAL GAME and want to use the HACKED DLC.

    want to say this just in case
    in that third post under the name “DLC only: ” there is another link to download the dlc packs ( you have to make a account to see it because it’s hided) when you click one of the 2 links you get send to another page and there you have options to pick which website you want to use to download. in my case the only one that worked for me and my mac was the link Next to “multiple hosts”

      1. You can download the DLC’s from our own site in 4 different manners:
        1. a torrent for all DLC’s in 1 folder in .iso format (download, mount and copy the folders from the mounted iso to your legal installation folder of the Sims 4
        2. a torrent for all EP’s (here you can select your requested packs, extract with Winrar and copy the extracted folders to your legal installation folder)
        3. a torrent for all GP’s (here you can select your requested packs, extract with Winrar and copy the extracted folders to your legal installation folder)
        4. a torrent for all SP’s (here you can select your requested packs, extract with Winrar and copy the extracted folders to your legal installation folder)

        To make sure that you find your legal installation folder, download this small file, double-click and it will immediately show you your legal installation folder

So when I launch the sims 4 I immediately see that the I have the packs and all that and it says “you own this pack” when I click view. But as soon as I start playing nothing from the packs is in the game, no additional clothes, worlds, furniture nothing more than basegame items can anyone help me because if I cant fix this problem I promise i wile suicide. Thank you

          1. Did you re-download and re-nstall the EA DLC Unlocker and typed 5 first to undo previous settings and then 1,2,14 and q ?
            You can check for installed DLC’s by simply moving (not copying) the folder The Sims 4 from C:\Documents\Electronic Arts temporarily to your desktop.
            When you then start your game, you should see all the welcome screens of the DLC’s installed.
            When correct, you can move the folder from your desktop back to C:\Documents\Electronic Arts.

        2. I cant reply to your newer message but yes, i did ALL of those even watched the 2 videos of the old man explaining what to do with the dlc toggler and did EVERYTHING even the moving the sims 4 file to desktop and back. I am presented w the packs when i enter like if you’re talking about when i go to my packs and it says owned then yes but again when i jump into a game none of the stuff is there except for legal basegame.

          Reply

          1. now i have just noticed that it also says download to play when i hover over a pack i have what does that mean now?

          2. also when i go to build mode in game and i select “filter items” > “packs” and try to click on a pack it says “you do not have this content” :(((

          3. It’s obvious that you did not add DLC’s to your installation folder, or did not unpack or mount the DLC’s before copying these to the installation folder.
            and/or
            You did not apply the EA DLC Unlocker properly
            and/or
            Some mods are preventing items in your game.

            Possible solutions:
            1. Download this small file and double-click it. It will immediately show you your legal installation folder where the DLC’s must be placed.
            2. Download the full set of DLC’s HERE, mount the iso and copy the DLC’s to your installation folder
            3. Re-download and re-run the EA DLC Unlocker, run setup as Admin, type 5 to undo previous settings, then 1,2,14 and q

          4. where do i place DLC’s? in the data or game folder? or just where the instalation takes me?
            also how do you mount iso file (not image) in windows 7?

          5. You place the DLC’s in the installation folder of the Sims 4, the folder where you also see folders like Data, Delta, Game etc.
            Just place DLC’s in that main directory of the Sims 4.
            For mounting iso’s ion Windows 7 see this page

          6. I have problems with mounting the iso, is there any other way you can just mount the iso and put a link to download the finished file? also when i try to open through wincd or poweriso it says the following:
            – file damaged or invalid library with picture
            – insert disc in cd drive
            – no media detected/ no media in the drive
            (doing this by all steps without skipping, please help ive been trying things for MONTHS)

      1. Is this only happening when you play The Sims or also with other programs ?
        It could be a problem with cooling, especially when you play on a laptop. Check the in-/outlets of your computer. (laptop also underside, don’t play on a soft underground like a bed or a carpet or even your lap)

    1. Because your game opens via Origin and the Unlocker is based on the EA app

      Open the Unlocker, type 5 to uninstall and then 1,2,14 and q again.
      When you have both Origin and the EA app on your computer, the unlocker always selects the EA app. so make sure that your game does not start via Origin
      Start your game via the EA app.

  20. Hi, when I want to start the game, it ask me whether to play online or offline. How do I fix it? I tried uninstall and reinstall dlc unlocker and still the same. When I try open via ea app, the same dialogue still appear.

    Reply

    1. Because you do not start your game via the legal folder. The question about on- or offline only occurs when you start a cracked game.
      To find your legal folder, download this file and run it.
      It shows you your legal folder, open folder Game, open Bin, double-click TS4_x64. Or make a shortcut of it.

      Reply

        1. When the Updater prompted you about your legal game you selected No.
          Now your legal folder Game is overwritten by the crack.
          Repair your legal game via the EA app.

  22. Hiii! So the DLCs disappeared and then I did everything over again. But, when I use the updater it doesn’t show the DLCs like Get to work or Cats and dogs or Seasons. And I want those ones. Does this mean that they are already installed? Or is something wrong?

    Reply

    1. It means that these packs are already incorporated in your cracked game.
      When you have cracked and legal versions in 1 folder with Game and Game-cracked, all you have to do is Run the EA DLC Unlocker.
      Type 5 first and then 1,2,14 and q.

      1. Redo the EA DLC Unlocker, type 5 first to delete the Origin settings, then 1,2,14 and q to install the EA app settings.
        When you have both Origin and EA app, the updater always show the app settings. (Desktop detected)

    1. 1. Ouvrez l’application EA et démarrez votre jeu là-bas.

  39. I just installed everything & I seen that in order to use the online version I should use an account that doesn’t have other games, if I create a new ea account & add ts4 base game would I have to reinstall the ea unlocker since I’d be missing the legal dlc’s I already had?

  43. why is mine not working? it says “unable to start: the contents of your user data directory were created by a newer version of the sims 4 and cannot be loaded. please update your game via origin to play.” then some codes inside []. please help me.

    Reply

    1. Probably you started a cracked game with a lower version number than your legal game or vice versa.
      Make sure that your legal and cracked game have the same version number, or simply start your legal game.
      You can find the folder of your legal game on your computer by downloading this small file and double-clicking it. Open the folder Game -> Bin -> and start the game with TS4_x64 (make shortcut for your desktop)

      To be able to play your present game you can delete the file GameVersion from the folder C:\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 but sooner or later you will encounter the same problem again.

      Download the legal base game of the Sims 4 and you no longer need the remid cookie to access the Gallery.

  45. I own the BG on steam, decided to install some kit and gameplay packs to test the waters. So far bb and cas stuff work fine, but the moment I try checking out the worlds it’s just a white screen. Not to mention the button to change the neighborhood stories doesn’t respond. I added the DLC via the torrents. Did I do something wrong?

  46. Hello, I am not sure what went wrong, but basically, I have a legal base game (before sims 4 went free) and the anadius updater works very well, but now I have one very apparent problem – my remid cookie is invalid now, according to the updater. It wasn’t before, it’s actually the same remid code that I’ve always had, so I don’t know where the problem occurred. Huge thanks if you can help! ><

    1. Re-apply the EA DLC Unlocker.
      First type 5 to uninstall the Origin Settings
      Then type 1,2,14 and q again.

      When that doesn’t solve the problem, run the Validator to check for missing or misplaced files. Open the outcome in Discord format.

        1. Delete the folder EP01 in the folder Delta.
          The same applies to the folder SP18
          The folder EP01 in the main menu (correct location) but apparently not fully downloaded so delete it as well.

          Make it easy on yourself and use the Anadius Updater, it will place all missing DLC’s in the correct folder.
          Lead the Updater to the installation folder of your legal game, just select it, don’t open the folder. Tick the packs you want and when prompted about your legal game click Yes.

    I want to be able to run the Sims 4 via the new EA app because I want to make sure I can still play even when Origin is not available. Will I still be able to do this? How can I install all add ons through the EA App?
    Thanks

    Reply

    1. You can run the legal base game of the Sims 4 via the EA app.
      Once that is installed, you can add the DLC’s free of charge with the EA DLC Unlocker.
      Bear in mind that when you change from Origin to the EA app, you MUST adjust the Unlocker likewise. In the Unlocker first type 5 to uninstall the settings for Origin, then type 1,2,14 and q again.

      Reply

  50. Hi I am sorry. Please help. I have done everything. All the packs etc show up but they all say “download to play”. But the instructions to solve this are unclear. I know it says probably in the wrong place, but I’ve moved it to about every folder I can think of. I have also redone the installer (1,2,14,q). I am at a loss, I have been trying for days to make it work. Also yes I did download the “small file that opens installer,” and that location did not work either.

  52. I keep having to re-apply the dlc unlocker. after a day or so i get the red notification symbols for the packs saying that i don’t own the dlc’s. So it does work, it’s just kind of annoying to reapply it every time.

    Reply

    1. Yes, that is annoying. Delete either the EA app or Origin from your computer as every time you start the game via the app your DLC’s are lost when you installed them for Origin and when you start the game via Origin you lost the DLC’s that were installed for the app.
      For that reason I uninstalled the EA app. (preferred Origin anyway as it offers more possibilities)
      You can still download and use Origin

      2. My main platform is Steam and then it uses EA desktop to launch the game. I don’t have origin installed as of right now and the dlc unlocker recognizes the ea desktop app. I’m not launching the game trough origin. So I don’t understand what is going on. Anyway I appreciate that this is even a thing. I would just use a pirated copy but I like having the gallery so I will just deal with it I suppose.

    Reply

    1. version 1.93.129.1030 is the latest version, so your version cannot be more recent than that.
      After updates almost always some mods become outdated, so that may be a problem with old saves.

  60. Hi! I’m sorry for bordering you, I have a problem:
    I switched from Origin to EA today as when I got into the game it crashed. Now I followed all the steps (5 to delete + 1, 2, 14 and q to reinstall) but it does the same thing again. I have repeated the process several times, the game keeps crashing. By the way, when it close for the first time after reinstallation of DLC, a message appears: “automatic closing” or something like that.
    Thank you so much for your work 🙂

    Reply

    1. Hello again! Just came to say that I’ve fixed the game crash issue. I saw that in “Program Files x86” there was still the “Origin Games” folder with all the subfolders, so I saved all those subfolders (EP01, EP02, GP01…) and my Mods and Save files in a safe place and uninstalled the game in the Panel control, then I reinstalled it directly from EA and did the whole process again with the subfolders I had saved.
      By the way, I did not find the EA Games folder in “Program Files x86”, but in “Program Files”.

    1. Delete Origin from your computer, re-apply the Unlocker, first type 5 then 1,2,14 and q again.
      Every time you start your game via Origin you will lose the connection with the cracked DLC’s.
      Start the game via the EA app.

        1. Hi Tarac, I downloaded all the dlcs as recommended and everything works great but when I want to play the sims offline it shows as not owning what to do to have all the packs offline?

        2. I did it, I don’t have origin on my computer, just the EA application, and the problem keeps happening, I still managed to fix it by reapplying the EA DLC Unlocker. Thanks in the same way Tarac.

  70. Excellent contribution, but I don’t know how to verify if I succeeded.

    I installed the base game by EA and then I ran the unlocker and followed the steps, I entered the game and there are no errors, I see all the packs purchased, but I do not know if I really have it active. I tested if the dogs and cats pack works when creating a sim and it doesn’t let me create a pet, could it be that I’m missing a step?

  71. This does not work, i have the base game and followed the pack instructions, but when i try to run the game it gives me the offline/online options like in the cracked game, and neither work

    1. Yes, not much difference apart from the fact that when you used Origin in the past and you now use the EA app, you must re-download and re-run the EA DLC Unlocker.
      First type 5 to uninstall the Origin based Unlocker, then type 1,2,14, q again.

  74. I downloaded the packs while using Origin. I switched over from Origin to EA App (after they announced they’ll be requiring a switch from Origin to EA App), and the packs did not appear when I opened the game under EA App. How do I fix this?

  75. I successfully downloaded these packs with the Origin platform. I switched over from Origin to EA App (after they posted they’ll be switching to EA App and getting rid of Origin). When I opened the game under EA App, the packs no longer worked. How do I fix the packs, so they appear in-game?

  80. Okay, now it’s giving me problems with my old savefile. It’s telling me that I shouldn’t play it because “I don’t have the required DLCs” (yes, it’s from a hacked game, more specifically FitGirl’s repack) and it’s gonna give me problems to the savefile. I don’t know what to do.

    Reply

  82. I have both the EA and Origin launcher. 1) instead of recognizing the Origin launcher it recognized the EA one. 2) The hack worked on the EA version of TS4. When I open the game through Origin it shows all my characters but no DLCs. When I open through EA it shows all DLCs but no savefiles (I think), also, all the options are bugged and are literally over the TS4 logo.
    I don’t know what to do.

  86. Hi Tarac.
    I already completed download the Base Game. I read the part if we want to move the installed folder to another drive we have to do this.

    1.Log in on Origin
    2.Go to My Game Library
    3.Right-click on the picture of the Sims 4
    4.Select Move Game
    5.Browse to the drive you want your game to be moved to
    (optional: Make a new folder, such as My Sims Games)
    6.Select the folder

    I download the Base Game from Steam. When I opened Origin app and right-clicked the Sims 4 picture, there was NO Move Game.

    So how can I solve this part?.

  100. Not sure what’s been causing “NEW_FREE_TRIAL_NOT_TRANSLATED” problem.

    1) The game is via Steam, installed on the steamapps paste. There’s nothing on the Origin paste, but when launched the game via steam it opens via origin

    2) Used the Anadis Updater. All packs and DLC’s are working just fine

    3) Language strings file already used, changed language few times but the problem persists

      extract with Winrar and copy all corresponding folders to your installation folder such as Program Files\The Sims 4

      There is no start button, you start the game from your installation folder/Game/Bin/TS4_x64 or Game/Bin_LE/TS4

      1. UPDATES!

        the “download to use” problem finally solved for me, and for anyone having the same “download to use” problem although you have done everything right, you have to check on the pack folders in your legal game, in my case turns out I have another folder inside the pack folder (e.g. EP01>EP01>contents)
        make sure they’re not under another folder (e.g. : legal game folder>EP01>contents)

        2-u take the EP GP SP files from your cracked game file(installation file) and paste them in your legal game file(installation file)

        Just letting yuo know that you made a mistake/typo, Sims 4 is 14 not 15.
        I followed all the steps exactly, unlocker etc. Worked perfectly. However after closing my game and opening it again a few hours later, all the DLC’s were showing as unowned. I read through the comments and it turns out if EA app is open (even running in the background in Windows try bottom right) you have to reinstall and rerun the unlocker every time to play the game. I exited and redid the whole unlocker part and it works now. May I suggest adding this to your instructions, it may save you getting so many confused comments. Thanks again.

  133. Now that the base game is free, I wanted to try this method. I tried with Steam. The only issue I ran in was while installing the dlcs. At the end, a certain file could not get copied (in gamepack 7 I believe?). There were instructions of how to fix it and, following it, I copied files from the updater’s folder to my game folder. Then, I tried finishing the installation and it worked. It was written to read readme to know how to play with a legit game and cracked DLC, and it was written to use the .exe file in the Game_cracked folder. But when I tried to open the game, I got asked if I wanted to play offline or online, and if I clicked online, I got the remid cookie thing that is used for the cracked base game method… I expected the game to just start while I’d be connected to my Origin/Steam account. I tried the normal .exe file but it did the same thing, so just in case, I tried to launch the game offline, and I was logged in as anadius, not into my account.

    I don’t understand how to make this work.

    1. Alright, I managed to fix it eventually. I don’t know why it didn’t work at first cause I followed the instructions but whatever. What I did:

      1. Repaired my game in Origin (which opened Steam).
      2. Left Origin and steam open and ran the DLC unlocker.
      3. Opened the game with the original .exe file. My username was now the right one.
      4. Checked online options on in Options.
      5. The gallery now works for me.

          Re-download the free game again and select the language you want to play in

          Reply

      2. Do you think you can make a video explaining the download process with the new EA app and including the part of the folder? I can’t find the Installation folder or the Bin in general and my game keeps saying that I need to download the packs

        Reply

  136. Ok for anyone that has “not owned” –
    You need to have the EA client open while you use the unlocker
    Hopefully, the admins add that to the tutorial since its not there and that’s an important step

    Also, add that if you see “welcome anadius!” or something like that – you’ve fucked up when you added the DLC to your folder and put in the game
    Fix it by repairing with EA Client

    Reply

    1. What do you mean with EA client ? EA app or Origin or something else ?
      When you see “welcome Anadius” you are starting a cracked game and not the legal version.

      1. question!! i have the legal game with cracked dlcs but i lost access to the gallery somehow. do you know how i can get it back?

        Reply

  138. I installed the cracked base game with all the dlc using the Anadius updater. When the free base game is realesed, do i have to unistall the cracked game to install the legal one? if yes, how?

    Reply

  140. Tarac (Anadius), I want to tell you that: Do you have the limited-offer Vibing Streamer Gear Digital Content, which is content that adds video-game-themed and teen-oriented furniture into The Sims 4 (Specifically an extension to High Schools Years Expansion Pack) available for purchase back in early September 2022? If you do, can you please bring it to Anadius Updater and the Pack System so that everyone, including me, can use it without having to lose it beyond its limited time period? You have not offered us such Content yet, but you may have it.

  141. Hi, I have installed my SIMS 4 on drive D using copy paste initially few years ago,and now i tried running the EA DLC Unlocker V2 (setup.bat) , i am seeing this error in the command prompt, can you guide me on how can it detect the game in drive D? I downloaded the open the sims 4 folder.bat and it was able to detect my game at drive D just fine. I am having trouble with EA DLC Unlocker V2 not being able to detect the path and i cant change it either.

  143. Hi, If I want to keep everything I already have in the Gallery from my pirated base game, can I keep the same account I already used to go online? is it possible?

    Reply

    1. Yes, you can use the same account as you used with the Remid cookie.
      However, as the base game will be free, the Sims 4 demo will end to exist

      Reply

  144. Since EA is planning to retire Origin, what are the future plans for the updater? Are you planning to make a version for the EA app?

    Reply

    1. It will make things much easier.
      As you can get the base game for free, I presume that we all use that opportunity (when you have no legal base game as yet).
      That implicates that Origin, or the EA app, updates your game automatically to the latest version (= folders: __Install, Data, Delta, Game, Support).
      Only when new DLC’s are released, you manually have to download the new folders, such as f.e. EP13, GP13, SP36 …….
      Of course, we shall provide these folders on our website.

      Consequently, we all become legal members and still can add pirated DLC’s to our legal game, so this page does not have to change.

      Reply

      1. So if I’m understanding correctly, at the end of the year we will all have to redownload the base game from the EA app, but the process of adding packs to our copy will not change from how it was with Origin?

        Reply

        1. When you already have a legal base game there is no need to re-download it.
          And yes, adding DLC’s remains the same as it was. The only thing you have to re-download / re-install is the DLC Unlocker when you switch from Origin to the EA App.

          Reply

  146. I followed all the steps, even the ones from the video but when I open the game (I have a legit game btw) the packs still appear as unowned, so idk if they are supposed to appear like that or if I have to do something else OR if I did something wrong lol

    Reply

    1. Can you see the folders for the packs in the installation folder of your legal game (where you also see folders named __Install, Data, Delta Game) ?
      Yes: Re-apply the EA DLC Unlocker
      No: Copy the folders for the packs from where you put these to the installation folder of your legal game and re-apply the EA DLC Unlocker.

      Reply

      1. Yes, I do have all of that in the legal game folder, I have tried the EA DLC Unlocker too but yeah, everything looks like it is correct but for some reason, they still appear as unowned.

    1. Yes, this problem was also reported by Electronic Arts.
      Make sure that your game version is 1.91.205.1020 (use Origin to update your legal game)
      Meanwhile, you can try to use Save as … instead of Save

      Reply

  148. So I’m curious. I did everything in Step one – Origin says I don’t own all the DLC however when I load in the game it says I own the DLC but when I go into CAS nothing from DLCs show up (when I go to “sort by pack” it’s showing I don’t own anything). I’m curious if I need to do step 3 and download each pack individually.

    Reply

    1. Origin does not know what cracked DLC’s you have.
      Make sure that the EP, FP, GP and SP folders are in the installation folder of your legal game, probably C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4

  158. Helpp. Before when i downloaded dlc’s to my already owned sims 4 base game I didn’t need to have origin downloaded and it worked perfectly fine. and I remember a youtuber who did a tutorial on how to download your dlc’s said to delete origin so that they don’t detect you’re using a cracked game or something like that. but now in your instructions it says I need origin. so do I need to have origin installed or not?

    Reply

    1. Once you have installed the legal base game you only need to be online to access the Gallery
      But even when you are online Origin/Electronic Arts cannot detect pirated DLC’s. At present, they only check for a valid key of the base game.
      From October 18th the base game can be downloaded for free via Origin anyway.

    1. edit: ok, i figured it out. use the “Video on how you can add pirated dlc’s to your legal game”. Sadly if the sims 4 isn’t connected to a dummy account you might have to use your main, just don’t upload anything. Should be fine if you just download stuff. but yeah, that’s the only way it can work for now. great work EA. f u.

  182. I have tried multiple times to make the pack system work. I used to use the selective download and may have to go back to that I guess. I have updated and repaired my game through Origin. I have unintalled the DLC unlocker and made sure I had the most recent version. I have removed the folders through the application and reinstalled them as instructed above. No matter what I do, the pirated DLCs will not show as owned – they continue to show as unowned. All the DLC folder are in the right installation folder (I downloaded the linked file to check). They are all listed in the config file. It is using Origin, not EA Desktop. I just don’t know what else to troubleshoot other than completely starting over and reinstalling everything.

    1. No because you have a legal account and neither Origin nor Steam can notice that you added DLC’s.
      You can simply test that by logging in to Origin or Steam and select to move your game to a different location. Your complete folder incl. pirated DLC.s will be neatly moved to that new location.
      The registry-entries and your shortcut on your desktop will adjust to show that new location.

  196. So I’m confused. I have the legal base game and have used this system for many releases but now you state: THE PACK SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK FOR EA DESKTOP USERS. Is that for real? Why suddenly no more? I have always used it. Can you please tell me why it no longer works? What happens if I continue using it?

    Because you also state:
    Do not use any other system to update as such systems will overwrite your Legal Game folder and you will loose access to the Gallery and render your The Sims 4 as cracked.

    I don’t understand… That means I can only use the pack system right?
    I have already downloaded High School Years, is it safe for me to add to my legal games folder like I did before, or will it overwrite and render my whole game as cracked?

    Thank you.

    1. I suggest:
      1. Update your legal game with the Anadius Updater and when prompted about your legal game click Yes
      2. Then run the EA DLC unlocker as you used to do.

      Nothing has changed, but as many users reported problems with EA Desktop I presumed that it would not function for those users.
      Apparently you used it successfully before so keep on doing it.

I read that it should change everytime you log in and out, but my doesn’t. It’s been days trying to fix it, but it just won’t work. I also tried without any mods, doesn’t work either. I tried to look for solutions on internet but it didn’t change anything. What should I do? I was really happy to find web, hope you can help me!

  201. Sims 4 is on sale right now on Steam and I want to buy it, I just don’t know which version to get. Digital Deluxe Edition or base game? Will it make any difference?

    1. You can delete the unwanted EP, FP,SP, GP from your legal installation folder of the Sims 4
      You can also switch off unwanted packs by opening the EA DLC Unlocker -> g_The Sims 4 -> place a semicolon in front of the IID -> Run setup again

  205. Thank you guys SO much for what you do!!
    I just tried it to add both Werewolves and High School to my game and everything works!! I’m so excited to also be able to use the gallery bc that was honestly my fav thing about the Sims 4.

    Thank you so much, again! <333

    1. instead of origin detected it says “EA desktop detected” in that spot in the ea dlc unlocker. Even so, I followed each step and still dont have the dlcs in my game… Please help!!!

      Reply

      1. if you have EA Desktop or Origin installed. If you have both it will detect
        EA Desktop only and game started from Origin won’t have the DLCs unlocked!
        If this happens reinstall Origin and run the script again

        Reply

        1. i reinstalled origin twice using the originthinsetup download from the website, but the unlocker doesn’t detect origin downloaded?

    1. No don’t worry, I just got banned 1 week for insulting EA and they check my account but never mentioned anything related with this (because they can’t)

  210. Hi I have been having a lot of issues so here are all of them:
    first I was getting the download to use after trying several times
    then I think I figured it out by doing the anadius downloader
    that takes 2 hours to download so im going to check it aftter
    Then I have 3 questions:
    can I still use the gallery?
    will it auto update or do I need to manually do it for each new update?
    can I still have ccs and/or mods with this? (i really like ccs but I can possibly live without mods)

    THANK YOU in advance!

    Reply

    1. Yes, you can still use the gallery
      Yes, it will auto update via Origin but you must add folders for new expansions manually
      Yes, you can use mods/cc provided these are adapted for the latest version

  211. Hi! All my sims are red and white after installing the dlcs, I’ve tried moving the folder to the desktop but nothing changed.

    Reply

  212. hi! ive followed all the steps in downloading the unlocker and the dlc does show up on the menu screen but not in gameplay. ive tried repeating all steps multiple times, restarting my computer and reinstalling the sims but nothing happens. what should i do?

    Reply

    1. 1.Download the unlocker
      2.Follow the first step
      3.Now go to “All DLC’s in 1 iso download” in ‘Step 3’
      4.After finishing the download, Mount the ISO file with Windows Explorer
      5.Copy and Paste every folder inside to your sims 4 location
      6. If you want the Werewolves DLC you need to download it individually from here: ‘https://sims.tarac.nl/direct-links-to-packs’
      ´
      since the “All DLC’s in 1 iso download” does not include this one (GP12)

      enjoy

  213. i’ve also reinstalled the EA DLC unlocker multiple times. reinstalling and installing. nothings working

    Reply

  214. hello! i’ve done everything it’s told me to. i’ve followed the instructions step by step, (or as i assume) countless of times and every-time there has been no change. the expansion packs have stayed as “unowned.”

    i’ve made sure to extract all the right ep’s in the legal sims folder. i’m not sure what i’m doing wrong?

    the only difference that i noticed that instead of it saying “origin detected” it says “EA Desktop detected” instead. I’m not sure if there’s a difference being made there with that?

  215. if i ever want to delete all the cranked stuff and play exclusively with my legal game how should i do it?

  216. hey! my stupid sister tried to add newest expasion pack to her legit base game with anadius updater, put she checked ‘no’ on the box asking if she has legit game. now idk what the hell should i do, because the non-legit game box shows up now when she tries to open the game. help me, i beg you.

    Reply

    1. Let Origin Repair your legal game. It will overwrite the folder Game again with the legal details.
      It won’t alter the pirated expansion packs.
      Run the EA DLC Unlocker to include the pirated items in your legal game

  217. Hey! If you use this system, can you upload your builds to the gallery using furniture from packs w/o EA flagging them/your account, or can you only download them? Thanks!

  218. I can’t run .bat file on Mac. I’ve tried really hard but I have no idea how to do it. Please help 🙂

  219. i’ve downloaded all the packs and after this patch and the new pack, i cant change the color of clothes, some things are just white squares and i cant use anything at all properly which is affecting my gameplay a lot.

    Reply

    1. I’ve seen a lot of people with this issue and 90% of the time it’s because of mods. Make sure all yout mods are updated or remove all custom content.

      Reply

    2. This has nothing to do with the downloader, and everything to do with the more columns mod. Try removing that and the issue will be gone.

      Reply

    1. Hi Mila, did you follow the same steps you went through with the previous packs? I’m running into the same problem; even after trying multiple times with removing/re-adding entitlements. The High School Years world doesn’t show up in my manage worlds, nor does all the other content of the expansion. I think we have to wait for an updated DLC unlocker (I’ve been running all the packs up to Werewolves fine with the Anadius method on MacOS with M1).

    Reply

  223. Hi! I did everything step by step, as shown above and everything seems to be working great! Except for the worlds that come with the newest packs. I see them on the map menu but when I click to see the world it just shows up as black with the UI saying “travelling with [household name]” on top of the screen and the pic of my current household at the bottom left corner. This happens, for example, with Tartosa. Without this issue… 10/10!

      3. Thank you for replying! And it actually did turn out to be mod related. For anyone wondering, it was Twisted Mexi’s TOOL mod that just had to be updated.
        Now that I’ve added the latest EP to my game the icons in cas and build mode don’t show up, i.e. they look like base game items with out the EP logo in the corners. And I can’t sort items by the pack. I assume this is yet again mod related.

      1. Hello Tarak, I downloaded the games and everything works fine, but when I want to play the sims offline the packs show up as not having what to do to play the sims offline with all the packs?

      1. I downloaded ea dlc unlocker and sims4updater, then I started downloading my missing dlcs with sims4updater. during the downloading process, malwarebytes popped up 3 times – two trojans, one riskyware. all with links to zippyshare. i didnt care too much, just waited till the end. the game works nicely. thanks for sharing!

  228. i’ve ran the ea dlc unlocker, pressed 1, 2 and 14 and got no errors. the dlcs show up on the main menu of the game but they aren’t there on the actual gameplay. what do i do?

  229. So I downloaded all the GPs and SPs I wanted and they work just fine, but I can’t connect to the gallery. I’ve tried repairing my game but it didn’t work. Is there any way to fix that?

      1. hi!So i have done all the steps but when i open the game i can see that i have all the paks but when i want to play the game i cant.It says to me to pick a season but i cant clik on it.What should i do?

        Reply

          1. So, do I have to update my game with the sims 4updater every time, or can it update through origin? Because automatic updates are turned on now, will i lose access to the gallery if it updates through origin?

          2. Updates via Origin do not add new DLC’s to your legal game. Your game will update to the most recent version but new DLC’s must be added separately (Anadius Updater – when prompted about legal game, tick Yes -, PLUS EA DLC Unlocker).
            No, you will not lose access to the Gallery.

  230. So I also had the issue that the dlc appeared as “download to use” and I figured it out, thought I’d share the solution. I followed the download steps, put the files (extracted) into my legit game folder, reinstalled the unlocker, and yet it still didn’t work. I checked my files and it turns out that 7zip had extracted the packs into the EP/GP/SP folders, and then made another EP/GP/SP folder inside of those. So it was EP01 inside another EP01 folder.
    Fixing the folderception and moving the EP01 from its parent folder into the game folder made the error go away, and I’m good to go now. I hope this helps some others!

    Reply

    1. could you eloborate on that? Where are the EP/GP/SP folders? What if I have FP01 instead of EP01? I used Winrar to extract instead.

      Reply

      1. I’m using EP01 as an example, this was the case for all of my folders, so take a look and see what the contents of your folders look like. It should just be the EP/GP/SP/FP with the number, and the contents directly inside of that.

        Here’s what I did, hopefully clearer:

        I’d prompted 7zip to extract all the contents into my legit game directory as instructed above in the tutorial video. 7zip made its own EP/GP/SP/FP folders and then put the extracted contents inside another EP/GP/SP/FP folder inside of those.

        My paths looked like this broken: C:\…\Origin Games\The Sims 4\EP01\EP01 or C:\…\Origin Games\The Sims 4\FP01\FP01, and so on and so forth….
        I’d find the pack’s content inside of that second folder, which made it unreadable to the game.

        To fix it I went into the C:\…\Origin Games\The Sims 4\EP01 folder, CTRL+X the EP01 folder I found inside of that one, and then moved up into the proper C:\…\Origin Games\The Sims 4 folder and CTRL+V my copied EP01/etc… folder there.
        This prompted no overwrites from my laptop, but I checked afterwards whether I
