The Official ® Games4theworld Forum

Welcome to the official Games4theworld Forum!

IMPORTANT NOTE: the "games4theworld.org" website is NOT actively used anymore by the current G4TW team; some of the information there may be outdated, or the download list may be incomplete. We are planning to keep working on the new "games4theworld.club" domain, but you can still treat the old website as a sort of archive. For more up-to-date information on our work, please follow this Forum here. Thank you!

We are progressively switching from .rar archive files for our downloads, to .7z archive files! You will need the program 7-zip to open these files, which you can download from this page.

For your convenience, we have compiled a number of helpful links and suggestions in the tabs below, and we strongly recommend you have a look at those. Click on the tabs to unfold further information. We hope you will enjoy your stay on the Forum here!

• Must-read guides
• Posting tips
• Get involved & stay in touch!

Here you can find a number of important guides that can help you solve a great deal of problems already:

Have a look at the title of each Forum subsection and the descriptions below, to find out what each section is about!

Once you found the Forum subsection that is suitable for what you want to know or need help with, go inside the Forum subsection and click on the button named "Open a new topic".

Try choosing a clear topic title! While the team of Games4theworld reads all topics regardless of the topic titles, you may draw the attention of other users to your thread more easily, and hence you could get a quicker reply.

Please be patient when waiting for a reply! All team members of Games4theworld are volunteers, therefore we cannot be online 24/7. Should your question go unanswered for 24 hours after posting it, you may notify a Forum Moderator or Administrator. Visit their Forum profiles and go under the "Contact"-tab. Click on the green e-mail button and write a message.

Once you received a reply, please try giving a follow-up reply, so whether the provided solution worked for you, or not, or what any new problem is, etc. That way, the team members & other users have clarity about your issue (and can maybe mark the problem as "solved"), or they may provide follow-up solutions as well. Either case, it is helpful not just for you to keep up the discussion, but also for the team & the community!

Should you still feel lost, or if you have a more general question about navigating through the Forum or any other Games4theworld-related platform, feel free to open a topic in our Site Navigation & Suggestions-subforum. Alternatively, you may also message a Forum Moderator or Administrator privately about navigation issues.

Please note: problems and concerns about software, games and hardware should ALWAYS be posted on the Forum. You should not send private messages to Games4theworld team members about these issues. The reason for that is, that we already have the Forum for support, and posting these questions on the Forum may get you a quicker reply as well, because more team members and regular users will see your question(s).

For further tips to navigate through our Forum, check the Forum FAQ.

Games4theworld is - for the most part - a Forum centered on helping people, mostly about issues surrounding PC games, software and hardware. However, there are plenty of other opportunities for chit-chat as well! For starters, there is The Sims Emporium for chatting about The Sims games, and then the Gamerlounge for PC games in general.

In addition, you can view the daily active discussions here as well as unanswered threads.

There are various ways of staying in touch with the Forum and the Community:


The e-mail newsletters. The Minecraft server of Games4theworld.

Our Games4theworldclub YouTube channel. Our Twitter page.
