Extension packs not working. [SOLVED]

Hey guys,

Thanks for the resources here first of all..so I have downloaded and followed all the instructions for TS4 and recently downloaded all the extension packs available here (Get Together, Get to Work, City Living). I dragged and dropped them into the appropriate folders as specified in the instructions...yet none have seem to come up in game. Any ideas?

Thanks again in advanced.

The correct order is
Basis
Get to Work
Get Together
City Living

When you rename your The Sims 4 folder in Documents - Electronic Arts to f.e. The Sims 4_old and you start the game again, you'll see all expansion and stuff packs in a welcome screen.
If everything is present you can delete the new Sims 4 folder and change the name of The Sims 4_old back to The Sims 4.

I am having the same problem but only the City Living is missing. I tried your suggestion and city living didn't come up on the welcome screen. I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong

Hello again,

Are you really sure you copied and pasted them into C:\Program files (x86)\The Sims 4? And NOT under "Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4"?

yes i am positive

Hello,

Please keep all discussions about your own issues, in the topic you already opened before here:
https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t24222-i-don-t-know-how-to-fix-this

It makes it easier for us to track individual progress of users, compared to when they post in multiple different places. Thanks!

I'm sorry that was a different issue i will start a new thread

It's still an issue about the same game (The Sims 4), so you can/should just continue the discussion for the time being in the thread you opened. Please always stick to one (1) thread, unless you are told otherwise by a Moderator. I'll get back to your issue, as soon as possible.

Yes, I have. Please see picture attached. Thanks for prompt replies

What I see at first glance is that:
Cachestr
Vustom Music
Lotchaceddate
Mods
SavedSimsinfoData

Are no folders that should be there.
They should be in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4

Have you tried running the game as Administrator? Also, it does seem strange that there are folder that "shouldn't be" there. You may have messed up initially on that, but if the downloads were applied in the correct order (base game -> Get to Work -> Get together - > City Living), then there shouldn't be any problem. The "surplus"-folders will be ignored by the game.

I think I will just uninstall and reinstall everything again.

What's the best way to uninstall? 

Thanks for the help

Just got everything sorted out. 

Thanks!
