Updated to Cats & Dogs, Game now appears as "los Sims"

I updated the game to Cats & Dogs today via the Games4theWorld download, however it now shows up as "los sims" and is in Spanish. I haven't checked if anything else works, but obviously as I have no clue how to speak Spanish it isn't ideal. Does anybody know a fix?

Hi there,

You can go to your Game\Bin and open up RldOrigin.ini and change the language to en_US. Save the file and run the game as administrator again for changes to take effect.

I just ran the game as admin again, and it's seemingly sorted it. How strange, the first 5 attempts of running as admin didn't  sort it.

Sims 4 is actually weird like that. Sometimes the game won't even start at all. LOL. 
Feel free to test out the games and whatnot. (CAS etc). If there's any other bugs or you have any other questions, do update them here.

Will do, luckily my worlds / saves seem to be working fine, and the Mods / CC still work fine, so i'm happy about that. Might need to update some, know of a way to bulk update? as i've got around 25 mods, and I really don't want to have to go through each one.

You actually have to DELETE or RENAME the old "Game"-folder, before you put a new one in. This is a very common mistake, but you have to do it this way, or it won't work.

I deleted the game folder and put the fixed folder and that didn't work either.

Try removing ALL your mods and custom content then.

I actually just wrote en_US and ran the game as admin and it worked. Try writing en_US again and save it and than start the game.
