Ultimate Fix Help: An extension of the "required game data missing" issue.

zombieash wrote:Hello, I am sorry if this is a no brainer but I have been having trouble for a couple of weeks now. I have installed the main g4tw pirated copy of sims 4 and it works just fine. My problem occurs when trying to apply the fix. For a while I was getting the "required game data missing" issue and could not find out how to work around it so I gave up for a few days. I saw a solution to this issue recently and it makes sense because I use windows 7 and every time I attempt to copy the folders from the .rar to the sims 4 folder it asks me to merge instead of copy and replace. So I deleted the folders and then copied the folders from the rar. this process gave me the aforementioned error. This is where I need help, I need a way to move the folders without deleting the old ones first? Please and thank you for any help that you can give.

I tried to let it merge the folders this time since there is still no copy and replace option. This allowed me to start the game and make a sim but after that I couldnt play said sim. Anytime I clicked on the play button on the lots I attempted to move them into it would show me a quick loading screen before sending me back to the neighborhood view.

//EDIT

Somehow I managed to solve my problem by deleting the contents of the sims 4 folder located in my documents. So fresh install of sims 4, apply the fix by extracting the zip directly into the sims 4 folder in program files, delete the sims 4 folder in my documents and then run the game. weird how that worked

This will help prevent you future problems with the game and/or the Ultimate fix. Good luck again !   And even if you say that your game works now, you should do these steps in the guide; I strongly recommend it.
