Hello and welcome to the forum,


I split your post, and moved it to the right section. For the future, please post in the correct section straight away (click on "open a new topic"). Normally, our policy is to delete questions from the Fixes-posts, but I'll make an exception.   

If you correctly replace all of the existing files, when installing "Get together", then you should be fine normally.

So what happens when you try starting the game then ? Are you getting an error message ? If it doesn't start up, have you tried turning off your anti-virus (permanently, if possible), and then re-applying the files from "Get together" ?

And anyway my game starts fine except it's just like it was before, I have all my packs except Get Together and Spooky Stuff. It's as if I didn't do anything. I haven't actually gone passed the main screen to see if I've got the update with the new UI and stuff, so I'm not sure if it has the update or not, but when I got all the pack-pop-ups Get Together and Spooky Stuff arnt there. 

I did as the instructions said, (my file location was already correct so I didnt need to move anything) and then I highlighted the necessary files from the .rar and drag & dropped them into my sims 4 folder where I told it to copy and replace and then when it's finished, the new folders that didn't already exist in my file (SP04 and EP02) don't show up. It's like my computer keeps skipping them for some reason. Then I extracted the .rar to my desktop in a new folder then tried copying and replacing from folder-to-folder instead of .rar-to-folder but it was the same result. I even tried dragging ONLY the two folders it keeps skipping and the little copy progress bubble showed up and appeared to be copying but when it finished the folders weren't there. Then I checked all the folders within "The Sims 4" to make sure I hadn't accidentally dropped it into one of the pack's folders, but that isn't the case. I don't get any error messages from either my PC or winrar when copying, and I don't get any error messages when running my game, but Get Together and Spooky Stuff aren't there.

I don't know what the issue is

So my Desktop>TheSims4 Folder has my update/EP but my Program Filesx86>The Sims 4 does not have my update and my folder also seems to be corrupted. 

Okay.. so I just tried to delete my Program Files>The Sims 4, and the same thing as with copying, I get the admin confirm bubble, I OK it, the progress bubble comes up and then it 'finishes' but the folder is still there, I also tried to rename it as not to confuse my computer but again, it did not retain the new name. 

So, what do I do with this? Will it mess up my game having 2 The Sims 4 folders?? and how do I create a new launch icon that knows to take my desktop folder? (Or even if its OK to run my game with the old folder existing, do you have any idea how to delete this by chance?? Because 12gb of files I'm not using are really annoying) 

I'm planning on taking my computer to a repair place soon as it's been running pretty crappily lately, so hopefully my corrupted folder is something they can fix  ... but will I be able to run my game??  Thanks again for all your help

If you can't get rid of the folder in Program files(x86), the let it be for the moment, and start your game from the Desktop-folder then. As a temporary workaround.
