Experimental The Sims 4 Update-Only Ultimate fix. [VERSION 1.20.60.1020]

@The_gh0stm4n

As you own an original game, why not update straight away to version 1.24 ?
Suitable for all presently known cracked games of the Sims 4.
Of course it won't give you the DLC's but all installed extensions will now return version 1.24.....

Update your original, legal, game via Origin.
Copy the file Default from the folder Game-Bin over to the same location of your pirated game.
Upload the Default file for downloading.

Instructions for downloading could then be:
1. Download the file Default.rar from ...link
2. Extract with Winrar
3. Open your sims 4 installation folder (probably C:\Program Files (x86)\The Sims 4\Game\Bin)
4. Rename the existing file Dafault to Default_old
5. Copy the downloaded and extracted file Default to the location as mentioned in 4.

Because I can't be bothered playtesting the game on the off chance that the 1.20 crack is compatible and does not conflict with 1.24 game files.

First of all, why bothering with an update for the base game only. What's the benefit ? As soon as they install another DLC most of the contents of your update will be overwritten anyway.
I noticed from your _install folder that the later DLC's are in there as well with the exception of EP03 (City Living) and SP08 (Backyard)

Secondly, my way of updating doesn't update at all, it merely tricks the game into thinking that it is version 1.24 whilst in fact it still is 1.20 or maybe even lower.
The only reason why I mentioned it is because owners of a legit base game (+ eventually some extensions) now play at version 1.24.
In order to keep their game efforts in prirated games in line with their efforts in their original game it's advisable to have them both in the same version.
I hereby hint on the file GameVersion in Documents-Electronic Arts-The Sims 4 which will show version 1.24 after my "update".

See my reply above to @kupocygirl:

About the rest, whatever works for you, I guess.   We will most likely start providing again actual base game update-only files. This here is just a test run.

P.S. not everbody has a legit TS4 base game on Origin, you know that, right?

But many have and that's the reason why I posted it.

PS.
You are worried about people with slow internet.
Why then an additional download of 1.7 GB ?
Downloading a DLC would almost be the same.

As usual, thanks for the input, but we most likely won't consider that option.

Posts split/basketed (mainly) due to being off-topic.    It doesn't even remotely have anything to do with updating the (cracked) base game of TS4, and has huge potential for confusign people even more. Original thread is located here:
