Outdoor Retreat & Holiday Celebration items.

Because keeping both may confuse users at the end. Or it's actually the same Crack?

I'm currently downloading the torrent to check it out.

@Admin, yes, I guess you can merge the current Ultimate fix, with the torrent I linked to. Because that's basically what I did myself too   (applied the Ultimate fix at first, then again this folder).

I'm not sure if a separate torrent for that is good or bad - I'll leave that discussion to you guys, since I don't really mind.

The crack this user was using is basically the TS4.exe from the current (!) G4TW Ultimate fix. I can confirm myself, that the TS4.exe from the current Ultimate fix will work for the torrent I linked to, in my opening post. And a modified RlDOrigin.ini was used in that tutorial too, but again - it's not needed here. The torrent I linked to above only needs to be copied + pasted to the game installation folder.

In terms of in-game issues, I can use all the objects and also travel to that "Granite Falls" world village.

Now, the problem I'm having is the Gallery. The cracked Outdoor Retreat and Holiday Pack completely changed the status of that service, and now the Gallery with the DLC works a lot different. For example, when you go Online, the items are actually removed from the Lots. Who knows what else, I'm still experimenting with that. The Guide to Connect to the Gallery will have to be drastically changed... I think there still is a workaround to download things from the Gallery even with all of this, but I'll have to test it a little bit.

Keep us updated about the Gallery, thanks!

Hi Carlos!

I thought that maybe the torrent had a different TS4.exe, or something of the sort. But now that I see it it's exactly the same as the tutorial described by that user.

Now, if we are going to use the already modified RldOrigin.ini in the Ultimate Fix, then having that tutorial to change it would be kind of useless, don't you think?

Exactly. This tutorial by DC_91 will become useless, once we get that torrent out. I actually knew that, before moving that thread to the "Fixes" section. But I didn't want to cause any negativity, hence I just went ahead.

If you enter a Save, then a lot of very very bad things will happen (if you are using any DLC in the Save at all). Most of the things from my Guide will stay the same. The only thing that will change drastically is if the users want to upload some of their creations to the Gallery. They will have to follow a more lengthy process to do it. But it still can be done, hopefully.

I'm not sure about adding a warning at the top of the Guide at this moment, to warn about all of this. But the new Ultimate Fix hasn't actually been released yet, so the addition of the DLC is not official yet. If you want me to do it, just tell me and I'll add it as soon as I can. I'm still going to update it very soon, accounting for all of this.

Do you think that maybe in the future the actual RELOADED will release a version of Outdoor Retreat and the Holiday Celebration Pack? (Not this RldGames that released this torrent).

About the gallery, I haven't tested that yet. But some users reported "issues" too. I think it is already miraculous enough, that this workaround was even possible in the first place. And since EA and their lackeys are also watching this forum, they have taken notice of that workaround too. I wouldn't be surprised if using the gallery in a pirated game became impossible at some point, or at least very cumbersome.
