Yes since you moved its location the uninstaller will say the Sims 4 was deleted but its not

To make it work disconnect your Internet before you launch Origin and then when it launches it should tell you that Origin Online is currently Unavailable and then connect your internet and you wont have to update it just log in .
5. Everytime you want to launch the Sims 4 old version go to Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4 and delete gameversion.txt
6. Launch old version Sims 4 and Gallery should be working download what you want and Exit and Open the current version and everything should be in your library
Note: Make sure you close origin before launching new version .

Tell me how that works out for you
You obviously spent some time finding this out, but nice ! Especially the part about "disconnecting from the net, launching the (old) Origin, and then staying with the old Origin without updating". Didn't know that was possible.
I'm sure this can help a lot of people, but as for me, I have a legit base game of TS4 on Origin, and connecting to the gallery still works in the "old way" for me. And for the time being. But even if I didn't have a legit base game, that procedure would be too much a hassle for me: I would just see to getting my CC elsewhere.
But then again, I'm sure this will be interesting for many other people.

Re: The Gallery ? [CLOSED]
Origin tries real hard to update itself, but this way does work. I can finally use the gallery again thank god!
Guest- Guest
Re: The Gallery ? [CLOSED]
Thank you and the only down side is I can't get the "include custom content" option in the gallery when online, but you can't have it all. At least I finally got the lots I wanted. Thanks I hope EA doesn't find a way to stop this too ughh!

Re: The Gallery ? [CLOSED]
I tried using Husseinalis workaround for connecting to the TS4 Gallery.
It worked the first time I opened Origin (9.5.12.2862). The second time I opened Origin it started to update and I couldn't open Sims 4. Any ideas?
Guest- Guest
Re: The Gallery ? [CLOSED]
Uninstall Origin, Reinstall older version of Origin and then disconnect internet until the log in page comes up. Then reconnect the internet and let Origin log you in. Run SIMS 4 normally after that. That is what I did and it has worked every time.

Re: The Gallery ? [CLOSED]
In general, that procedure may be easier to do if you have a second computer, which you can use for accessing the gallery with an older Origin version.
Beyond what I said before, even if I wanted to, I could not use it because I regularly play games via Origin, and I absolutely need the latest versions of the Origin-client, in that case.
Of course, if you don't play via Origin, and only have one computer, then that workaround could be useful.

Judging by some user's comments on here, there seem to be people who would give (almost) anything in order to be able to access that gallery again, from within a pirated Sims 4. And that might indeed involve using a second computer. If it's really worth the hassle, is a different question. Personally, I don't feel it would be worth my own time.
I believe many people have gotten so much "used" to this gallery, that they have started taking it for granted. Up to the point, where they absolutely can't live without it.
As a sidenote, I also saw that the original poster of this workaround edited his post above, and replaced the instructions with a bunch of dots (the instructions can still be found in my quote above, though). It wasn't necessary to "purge" these instructions, but OK. In the end it's the OP's decision what he does with his (own) messages.

Re: The Gallery ? [CLOSED]
I rarely post, just because I normally have nothing to add. The Moderators and Admin here are always so helpful and usually have answered someone's question (which normally turns out to be a question i had) and this site literally has everything.
I tried this out and honestly it works pretty well. It does make my computer run a bit more slowly just because i've installed two sims then and origin. So, I'll probably install it once in awhile and do this just to have access to the gallery. I was really surprised when it worked

Thx a lot! is it necessary downloading the sims get to work tho? haha.. i could use some free space

Re: The Gallery ? [CLOSED]
Hi there! So, I actually have a legit copy of S4, but I'm using G4TW newest cracked version. If, in the cracked version, I allow for online access, will I get the gallery because I had the cracked game previously? And if I allow for online access will it detect my cracked game and harm it somehow?

Awesome to hear you got it figured it out!!!
Remember you can always try to contact the person who created the content to upload it in a different manner, some of them will gladly do it and share their stuff with you outside of the gallery, some won't, you never know...

Problem solved, topic closed.
Happy simming!

Re: The Gallery ? [CLOSED]
Unlocked the topic, since it seems some people stopped having access to the gallery using this method.
If anybody knows what's happening and have a new solution, it will be more than welcome!

Re: The Gallery ? [CLOSED]
Hello! So I tried using the method listed within the thread, and I downloaded the Origin version 9.3.6.4643 from filehippo. I tested it out and when it asked me to log into my Origin account, I was repeatedly met with an error message stating that "I must be online when logging in for the first time", which I was.
So, I decided to download a higher version of Origin, specifically the 9.5.12.2862 version, and it worked great! I was able to log onto Origin and access the Gallery within the game, with the items downloading successfully.
However, it does appear that while households/lots containing stuff from newer packs, like Cool Kitcen Stuff, are able to be downloaded successfully, items that contain CC do not even appear in the gallery.
I was wanting to download some lots that I had seen on Tumblr, and while some of the user's content appeared, the lots with CC didn't seem to exist. Even with the "include unowned content" box checked.
My question is, is there a way to fix this? I think I heard that an option to include CC was implemented later on, so are there any compatible game versions that include this option that also work with the gallery? Thank you so much!

Re: The Gallery ? [CLOSED]
Would you mind helping me out? I actually tried that out earlier today with an older version of Origin open in the background, but upon startup of The Sims 4 it crashed and gave me the error message about Origin currently not running (even though it is). I can only run the latest version of TS4 when I have Origin turned off.
I was able to get into the gallery using the non-updated base version of The Sims, though, but a lot of items do not even show up, since it doesn't have the "Include CC" option that was added later on.
What versions are you on? I'm on Origin version 9.5.12.2862, and I have the latest Ultimate Fix w/ all content, version 1.10.57.1020.
Thank you!
