Hello,

Try downloading the modified RldOrigin.ini here (it has the Vampires gamepack removed):
https://goo.gl/GBVAHx

Copy/Paste it to the Game - Bin - subfolder of your The Sims 4 installation. Replace the existing file when prompted. Then you go inside your TS4 install folder again where it shows you the EP, SP, FP, GP, Data, Game, Support, etc. folders; there you rename/move out/delete the folder GP04. 

Try the game again after that.

Guys i have a question !
Lets say after i opened the RLDorigin.ini file .. I found that i have 136 items in there !i deleted 2 so i should change it to 134 !
When i opened the game i found that the last one 136 ( that was parenthood) was gone too !
My question is should i change the order ?! Nd if i let 136 even though i deleted 2 dlcs is it okay ( bcz its shows deleted in the game nd it solved the essue of not having parenthood )

Yes, maybe you accidentally deleted more than you wanted,...?

Again, I already uploaded my modified RldOrigin.ini file before, that has just the Vampires pack removed. Now that I'm thinking about it, I believe I forgot to edit the "CNT" count there, maybe it's not so important in the end?

If you delete just the Vampires-DLC, that is just ONE (1!) DLC. Therefore you should make it 137 - 1 = 136.

If i do this ! The parenthood will be deleted too maybe cuz i've set the number to 135 nd parenthood is the number136 ( cuz its the last one den fitness comes after nd i don't have it yet ) '..
I don't know how this works the counting thing ! But i thing if u set to 135 nd u have 136 the last one will be deleted too

I use a slightly different method:
1. Removing the unwanted folders is not necessary - unless you need the diskspace
2. Each pack consists of 3 entries in RldOrigin.ini. (GRP, IID, ENT),  To remove Vampires just put a semi-colon in front of the lines for the 3 entries of 132 and save the file.
3. When you later decide to play with vampires after all, just remove the semi-colons.

Don't change the cnt settings.

In my experience the number of the DLC doesn't matter. Just remove the 3 lines properly, and you're good to go. Look carefully at the original RldOrigin.ini.

IID132=SIMS4.OFF.SOLP.0x000000000002376D
ETG132=GP04_VampireWorld_0x000000000002376D:145261
GRP132=THESIMS4PC

The Vampire DLC has the "number" 132. If you delete these 3 lines, you should be fine. The "CNT" just seems to indicate the total number of DLC. What number each individual DLC has, doesn't seem important. 

Again: 137 - 1 = 136. You initially and accidentally deleted the Parenthood-lines as well. If you feel you are getting too confused by the method then try taking a step back, and start over. I don't think I can explain this in a simpler way, I'm sorry.

Don't remove those 3 lines but simply place a semi-colon in front, like

;IID132=SIMS4.OFF.SOLP.0x000000000002376D
;ETG132=GP04_VampireWorld_0x000000000002376D:145261
;GRP132=THESIMS4PC

Don't change CNT either
No need to remove the folder GP04 unless you need the diskspace.

When you later decide that you want vampires anyway, simply remove the semi-colons in RldOrigin.ini and save the file

Yes, in the file I uploaded above I forgot to subtract "1" (i.e. I left the CNT-line intact). It seems to have made no difference, and it also seems you "only" have to make the DLC lines unreadable by either removing them or putting the semi-colon in front of them.

Maybe you don't even have to put the semicolon in front of all 3 lines in each DLC, but I didn't get to test that.

As I think that the value of CNT is used for a loop, I've put semi-colons in front of all three items to avoid assigning incorrect memory addresses by that loop.

Yeah better now

Indeed, make sure not to edit the line "CNT" (credits to @Tarac for this revelation). A.k.a. leave it to the original 137.

As an extreme example, when you set CNT to 0, you'll have the base game incl. toddlers only.



Mod edit: since the OP's problem appears to be resolved now, I will close the thread.
