Delete everything?

So a while ago I've already downloaded the Get Together pack and my game always ran smoothly. But today I decided to get the City Living pack, however it said I needed to download the packs in specific order? (GTW, GT, CL) so now what do I do? Do I delete everything in my Sims 4 folder first, download and install GTW and then re install GT and CL?

Edit: So I was impatient and I went ahead and deleted all the pack files and re-installed them. It seemed to work but when I try and start the Sims (with admin) it freezes and then says not responding and crashes itself. What should I do?

Hello @Aisiee,


Are you sure you kept the install order as Base game -> Get to Work -> Get together -> City Living?

In case you did not, no need to re-install. Just start copying/pasting "Get to Work" again over your TS4 install folder. Then continue with "Get together", and finally "City Living".

That is what I did in deleting and re installing aha I meant I re-copied everything again. But it still doesn't work. Do I have to recopy the base game at the very beginning as well?

Yes, in that case you may want to start over completely, because initially you may have deleted something you weren't supposed to (even though you thought it belonged to an expansion).

Okay thank you! So I went and downloaded the base game on utorrent but its just setups? So should I uninstall the Sims 4 and start over from complete scratch?

Yes, delete your "Sims 4" install folder completely and start afresh, with installing the base game (see the included instructions), and then applying Get to Work + Get together + City living.
