===================================================================================

Simply select your game folder and click the Update button. Sims 4 Updater uses
a mix of xdelta patches and full files to ensure as small download as possible.

===================================================================================
====

If you have a legit game then Sims 4 Updater will put the cracked exe in
"The Sims 4\Game-cracked\Bin\TS4_x64.exe".
Start the cracked exe to play with all DLCs.

If you want to play your legit game with pirated DLCs then you need to use
a DLC Unlocker. You can get one from here:
https://anadius.hermietkreeft.site/dlc-unlockers
https://cs.rin.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=104412
Use the EA DLC Unlocker v2. It's much easier to use
and much better than the Unlocker v1.

===================================================================================

If you're looking for the instructions on how to use the


manually downloaded patches - read the FAQ below.

===================================================================================
====

FAQ:

Q: Updater doesn't run, I get some error message, what should I do?
A: First of all Sims 4 Updater is 64-bit only, so make sure your Windows
is 64-bit too. It's written in Python 3.10 and they dropped Windows 7
support in 3.9, so if you have Windows 7 - update it to 8 or newer.
And lastly make sure you have VC Redist 2015-2022 x64
( https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-
visual-c-downloads )
installed and that your anti-virus doesn't block it.

Q: I get download or metadata errors, what should I do?


A: If you use a VPN - try selecting a different country (like Netherlands)
or disable it completely.
If you don't have a VPN or that didn't help - use ProtonVPN - free version
works fine, make sure you select Netherlands server.
If it's too slow consider downloading the files manually (see below).
If the Updater can't auto-update, download the newest version yourself:
( https://rentry.co/sims-4-updater-beta )
If you can't update the game - first download all the patches
between your current game version and the newest one:
( https://rentry.co/sims-4-updater-beta#sims-4-updater-manual-updates )
Then download my newest crack (no-origin-fix-<game version>-ANADIUS.rar):
( https://rentry.co/the-sims-4-crack-only )
And finally if you want to install some DLCs grab them from:
( https://rentry.co/the-sims-4-dlc-only )
Put all downloaded files in the same folder as the Updater and simply run
it.

Q: Can I use the Updater without internet connection?


A: No, but you can use the Patcher. It uses the same patch, crack and DLC files
as the Updater (see links in the answer above). You can get it from here:
(
https://github.com/anadius/patcher/releases/latest/download/patcher_and_patch_maker
.7z )
Extract the 7z archive with 7-zip or WinRAR. patcher.exe is what you want to
use.

Q: I get some other errors, what should I do?


A: First culprit is your anti-virus. Disable it.
If that doesn't help reset file permissions (see question below).
If that doesn't help copy the whole Updater ("sims-4-updater-<version>.exe",
all "updater_*" files and "updater_tmp" folder) somewhere else.
That's important: COPY, not move.
If that doesn't help copy your game somewhere else.
Again: COPY, not move.

Q: Error message tells me to reset file permissions, how do I do it?


A: Download this file
( https://anadius.hermietkreeft.site/attachments/reset-folder-
permissions.bat )
(
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/975718723367338015/975719718101086298/reset-
folder-permissions.bat )
Right click on it, run as administrator.

Q: Is the new update/DLC added to the Updater?


A: Check out my Discord or a couple of last pages from The Sims 4 thread:
( https://cs.rin.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=65003 )
I post the news about the Updater there.

Q: Can you install the whole game with the Updater?


A: Yes, but I don't recommend it. Use some repack from the second post of
The Sims 4 thread instead:
( https://cs.rin.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?p=930236#p930236 )

Q: I updated the game but a new DLC is not installed, why?


A: There are 3 possible reasons:
1. That DLC isn't out yet. The Sims 4 always gets an update 2-5 days
before the DLC comes out. The DLC may appear unlocked on the main
menu screen but if it's not out yet then I can't do anything about
it, I'm not a time traveller.
2. You didn't check that DLC in the "Install DLCs" window.
3. You use DLC Unlocker and didn't read what to do when we get a new DLC.

Q: I have problems with starting/playing the game, where can I get some help?
A: Make sure you read the troubleshooting guide. You can find it on my website:
( https://anadius.hermietkreeft.site/sims-4-troubleshooting-guide )
It's also posted on Reddit and in the first post of The Sims 4 thread on CS
RIN:

Discord.
