Hey guys, I made an updated version of this video! Here is the link. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EpgNDTqUkao.htmlsi=yW1jo6rhcES9Poe-
Bro I had bought every pack until HS Years came out, had every single sims game and spin off as a kid, and then had to switch from console to PC. I was heartbroken to have no way to transfer my purchased packs, but Anadius has been a life saver. Good tutorial!!
I stumbled unto this video about a week ago and admittedly I was extremely hesitant about trying this. But, I followed your steps and thankfully didn't pickup a virus and the game appears to be working great with the exception of all the issues with the latest addition. The only thing that remains is to see what happens when the game patches to see what happens. I did want to thank you in advance for posting this video.
I was hesitant too, I toyed with the idea for like 3 days before I finally gave in because I REALLY wanted 'For Rent' and can't afford to buy them like that. I usually have to wait until they're on sale and I can get impatient, lol.
@@Astra-Moon I'm really leery about trying this. But, if YOU GUYS are doing this - without "too much hassle" - maybe _I_ should try it as well. I just have one question tho... I'm ASSUMING that by unlocking the new pack (lovestruck), you WON'T GET the digital stuff like you would IF you actually physically bought the game?
@@iremkuruova9754 it works perfectly! Everything is there. I currently even have the newest 2 creator packs. I do think also, digital content is there (from love struck). Sorry, I meant to update before and I forgot, lol
Also the game is more like $1,200ish not $1,600. Oops but still expensive. And yes I have also bought dlcs and spent money on the sims! You don’t need to do this for every dlc. Some people have brought up concerns about being banned, I have done some research and it is possible to be banned BUT from what I found, it is very rare. So with that being said some people recommend using a new EA account or an account you don’t care about. In the past I have never been banned from doing this. Also if anyone in the comment section is going to slander/bully me or any of my viewers/commenters you will be immediately blocked. My RU-vid is a safe space and I will not put up will bullies towards anyone period.
will this give us lovestruck aswell? i did this before but im considering resetting my whole game because i have so many probolems and my saves are so big..lol
Wanted to drop in and say thank you for the views and comments so far ❤ maybe I should start doing sims videos!!! Also I appreciate everyone who has subscribed to me so far!
@@lexybb2061 My computer is Acer and if it is updated, what I did was repair it, but even though I repaired it, some of them appeared without the text, but the others told me the same thing.

For me it automatically downloaded the file too and the second one I did not have an extract option (the first one did). I went into that file and found the same thing she clicked on to install the DLC's
I figured it out. You don't need the second window open. That second window is just taking you to the same download file that is trying to download to your folder. You can skip this step. Same for both downloads.
Things i learned about this stuff: 1) If you uninstall Sims4 the stuff will still be available on it when you download it again, as long the Sims4 folder is not deleted. 2) If you installed all stuff you wont be able to get the menu box to (un)check the Gamepacks which u want to install. 3) The (Un)Check Boxes appear back when there´s new game/extension/stuff/kit pack available to be downloaded. 4) Don´t play the cracked game if you already own Sims4 on your account. 5) My Laptop had updates & Sims4 as well, but it didn´t remove the stuff i installed to sims4 as you mentioned in video. (Im still unsure about functions how tha stuff work) If im wrong about something feel free to correct me, im quite unsure about some stuff too.
Hi, what do you mean with dont play the cracked game if you already have sims 4 on your laptop? Do you mean that you cannot already have an account with add ons?
I can't thank you enough!!! I've watched Sims 4 content for years but never actually played the game due to being to poor to afford the DLC for it. Now I can finally play it with all the DLC for free!
I don’t understand I joined through the actual game and it said packs not owned what do I dooooo (I was playing yesterday everything was literally okay)
I followed all the instructions but when I tap “setup” it shows “Fatal Error: EA Desktop/origin not found, reinstall one of them” I’m so confused, what do I do?
Sorry to everyone I have not replied to. Sometimes I am unsure how to fix the issues or I’m trying to replicate the issues on my end to see what the fix is! I am trying to reply the best I can!
Hey guys, a few people have asked me how to get their dlcs back after an update. I made another video on how to do it! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BM-8jhzi874.html
What if I’m trying to add more mods to it? Where should I go to? Like the files. I was trying to add mods from Pinterest and stuff but before I had a file where to add them for it to work but now that I did this, idk where to add each of the mod to cuz idk what files.
Is anyone having issues with the link? It keeps saying "Unable to reach page" and the thing is. I've tried this method, and it worked beautifully the first time. I removed it because i didn't know how to undated it, so I just uninstalled it, but now the website won't work for me. Has anyone run across this issue? i tried to find anyone on reddit, but no one knows why the website won't load up.
Can someone please help me, when i pressed "Set up" on 2:04 it showed "Fatal error: EA Desktop/Origin not found, reinstall one of them." I don't understand what I'm missing huhu:
@@SammiRae-v6f are you using origin, EA or steam. I’ve gotten this error before as well. I just uninstalled and reinstalled the EA app and made sure it was up to date then redid the updated and dlc unlocker.
@@lexybb2061 oh alright, i've downloaded the EA app, do I also have to download The Sims 4 there as well, or is it alright if It's only downloaded on steam?
i did everything like u said but game says "requires sims 4 and all game updates" , " download to use " but then still say "you already own this pack" T-T what did i do wrong
I bought most of the packs on ps4 and I wanna play on my laptop and didn’t wanna spend so much money 😭 AGAIN 😭 so this helped so so much, I wanna play on laptop for mods :3 tytyty
This video is amazing but i am running into a problem. When i press the set up button its not working, for reference im on a macbook and it is telling me there is no application set to open the document “setup.bat”. I dont know what to do. Any advice would help
Whenever i get to the DLC unlocker, i click on the link and it just saves the things as files instead of opening a new tab. it was doing this same thing for my sister too
So I tried this and clicked set but mine is something totally different it's saying "It looks like you're trying to run this script from inside the archive. Make sure you extract file first, press any keep to continue" what should I do I don't know what am doing wrong.
Help it says that I don’t have enough space on the c driver, while I have a lot of space in data (d) drive but I don’t know what to do. I reset my pc so I could download but the windows (c) drive takes 45 gb while to download expansions needs 40.7 gb.
hello, I have a question according to the video, I downloaded it but the packages don't work for me, it says I need an update, I've tried a lot but it still doesn't work, you don't know what I could do with it, and if you could, please help me, thank you
Hi! Thank you so much for this! When you say to create a new EA account to avoid getting banned, can you tell me what this means? Will I have to download the base game again to the new account? Will I lose the packs I've already purchased? Or will I lose my saves?
@@virgogem1111 sorry I just saw this comment, no you can keep the same sims downloaded just sign out of your ea then when you sign back in just hit sign up or create account.
I prefer 7-Zip over WinRAR simply because it provides the same functionality and isn't a "infinite free trial" software that reminds you to pay to use it. That being said, Windows 11 does allow you to open .7z files without any third-party software, but there are some archives that Windows cannot open for some reason which 7-Zip can.
Hi! First of all, thanks for this video, although unfortunately I found it after another more confusing one and I need some help ;v; After installing the DLCs, I opened the cracked game, because it wasn't clear if playing with the original game would have blown the entire installation. Watching your video I understood the error. Now if I open the normal game the DLCs are there, but it lags a lot, both the loading and the music, which it didn't do before. I fear that the two versions have ended up in conflict. To restore the game to its original state do I have to reinstall all the DLCs? What do you recommend I do?
@@ClearMask hm, you can try redoing the dlc unlocker then. Maybe try uninstalling the unlockers and updated if you need to and redo everything. Or maybe the game is just running poorly atm.
@@ayanna9403 really? That’s a new one. Maybe try reinstalling the game if you need to. You would just have to reinstall everything which would suck. Or you can try checking for corrupt files in steam or ea
I want to download this but I had a question, If you already had a few packs and after downloading this mod you decide to delite it, did you still will have that packs what you have before?
Every time there is an update on the computer one has to reinstall all the packs? Like the game is uninstalled? Are the regular patches downloaded as usual from the EA app?
Hi i done every step following the video but when i click on update the downloding not happen, it just keep repeating getting download link.. so plz help me with this 😄
This woman here, saved our wallets while also being a mother and currently sick. She deserves more subs! PS: Do you have a tutorial with the Sims 4 update? For people already having the previous dlc and sims 4.
thank for the great vid... question: when the new lovestruck dlc is released would i be able to add it additionally by itself? or would i need to add all DLCs again?
@@natamanatee few people have mentioned this, I still have not looked into it. You could try the other link but be careful considering gofile was the easiest option.
@@deviIish you go through the same process on mac. Download the the updater and those two other runners, the one where you press 1 2 ect. it took me so many attempts and i was super frustrated. I can try to help you out though if ur looking for mac
Really good tutorial! I just have a question.. is there like an option to fasten the download on the updater? because for me it's max at 1.25MB/s while I download steam game earlier and it's 6MB/s
Is this illegal? Becuase ive been wanting this but ive heard around that its a virus illegal and you can get your account banned so im not sure now.please explain im confused Thank you. Also do you use this on ur main sims account or an alt ?
@@RosieTheFrenchie no one has ever gotten in legal trouble for using anadius but you can get banned although rare, so if you are worried about it then you can use a different account.
Hi! I have done all the steps u have told me too but when i went into the dlc updater when everything was installed it says “dlc unlocker status not installed (game config missing)” i dont know what to do ive tried every youtube tutorial and this keeps happening
I NEED HELP. In 7:53, where you need to have that file location correct or sth, mine is different and Idk how to make it be the same or make it correct? Please help!!
After the packs was downloaded, it said critical error! When I open the game, it says packs are downloading and it's been more than 2 days now and am still unable to access the packs!!
@@lexybb2061 tried again after erasing all the stuff, i even reinstalled sims 4 and followed all the steps! Still unlucky, the critical error keeps popping out ~ even after i open the sims 4, it says the world is not installed.
@@dracky3006 huh I’m sorry. It usually works just fine I know there are some RU-vidrs who do videos on how to fix anadius errors. You may be able to look it up how to fix it.
When it's asking for the file location of the sims 4, does it mean the one with the mods folder or the one that has a packs folder? Anyone that knows give me a reply pls 😁
2 Questions for people who do use this: 1. Can we still use CC and Gallery etc based around the packs the way we normally would? 2. If I buy and download a pack that I "already have" via this method, can I do that? PS: This is the perfect thing for someone like me who can't afford the packs right away but does want to get them legitimately.
@@Astra-Moon I wouldn’t download packs you already have downloaded, it could cause issues with the game. And yes I use cc and mods just like you normally would.
@@lexybb2061 Can we delete it somehow to buy what we want and then re-install it? I only planned on doing this until I could afford to buy the more expensive packs (in this case, namely; For Rent and Love Struck)
Can someone honestly tell me if this works, I've been looking for an hour and only keep finding scams, even ones that looked legit my antivirus is flagging, pls someone help 😭
@@iMortalVibezZ I’m going to do a video on this when my pc needs an update because this is a common question. Just redo the updated and dlc unlocker and you’re good.
heyy lexy so i did all these steps and the packs are in my game like they show up on my homepage but theyre not in cas or in my gameplay?? idk what to do
I followed every step exactly! It did work, but It doesn't let me use them in game play. It says I own all the packs, But doesn't give the options in actual game play. I got frustrated after trying to fix it and just deleted all files. Including all of my game play history which wiped it completely clean.. :'( But it still says I own all of the packs! I don't know how to just undo what I did! I shouldn't have tried in the first place, because I'm not super computer savvy, but I did it anyways. PLEASE HELP! :'(
Is this safe to install without getting caught? For safety i will use VPN and change the vpn country. And my account can‘t be banned if i play offline, right?
@@lisa4471 I mean your using a vpn and playing offline, I would say that’s pretty safe because people rarely get banned as is. But if you want to be extra safe about it, just use a different account.
@@kendraakame1589 sooo from what I read is yes you can but it’s pretty rare. Some people suggest using a different EA account to be safe. Honestly when I did this in the past I was never banned so 🤷♀️.
I know you’re busy responding to everyone but I also have a question. I did everything correctly and I opened the game and it’s not showing that I have any of the packs installed or anything. It’s telling me to purchase them on the Home Screen like normal. It looks like how my game looked before I did this. I’m rechecking my steps and I have done everything correctly only thing that seems different is that it said I didn’t have the base game installed which I did and it asked me to download it before it let me download the packs. I’d appreciate any help and ofc no rush I’m very thankful for this video. 🙂
Ok I do have one tiny problem. I went to go check the other worlds and non of them are shown as downloaded but there’s no sign that they’re downloading even though all the items are usable now in game and working correctly.
