Cannot start the 64 bit version of the game

Hello everyone!

My game doesn't start even though I used the 64-bit .exe version. I have correctly followed the tutorial, but something is wrong. Can anyone help me?

It seems that the GDFBinary x64 version did not come in the Installer folder. Do anyone know how to fix it?

GDFBinary x64 was never there and the game doesn't need it to run. Could you tell us which version of The Sims 4 have you installed? (last expansion and where did you get it)

It was Seasons from Games4theworld. I downloaded the magnetic link from the forum.

What is a "GDFBinary x64 version"?

There is an OrangeEmu_x64.dll (Origin emulator), but this one is definitely included in the download.

In which game folder the GDFBinary x64 is located? In the tutorial, when asked to change the location of GDFBinaryx64 in the regedit, I couldn't find this .dll in the files.

I told you already, there never was x64 bit version of that file. And to be honest I don't think you need to change anything in registry - I deleted those entries completely and the game runs fine. But you can keep it if you really want to. Tell us what error you're getting. And what exactly did you install. Seasons isn't enough, it's just the update from My First Pet Stuff.

I'm using a cracked version of Dragon Age: Inquisition, another Origin-based game. It seems to be functioning without these registry entries, but then only in one language (you can't seem to change it).

I think something similar, or maybe the same applies to TS4 as well.

Well, when I run the 32-bit version of the sims 4 it works, but then it shows a warning saying that I should run the x64 version. When I run the x64 version, the game keeps loading forever. It seems to me that it is because of the location of the GDFBinary64 in the regedit, which I don't know to which file I should point. When we download the game, in the installation guide, there is a .txt file (NOTE 4) saying that I should change the registry entry to accommodate the file in which my game is installed. Since I don't know where this GDFBinary64 is, I've put C:\Program Files\The Sims 4, but the game keeps loading forever, so sth is still wrong

Try this and post the result here.

The result is:


Game version: 1.44.77.1020

Hash mismatch:

Missing files:

Unknown files:

game/bin/origins.ini
game/bin/rldorigin.dll
game/bin/rldorigin.ini
game/bin/rldorigin_ext.dll
game/bin/rldorigin_x64.dll
game/bin/rldorigin_x64_ext.dll
game/bin/ts4.par
game/bin/core/winhttp.dll

Delete those unknown files and try again. If it doesn't work, rename/remove "The Sims 4" folder from "Documents\Electronic Arts" and try again.

It doesn't work, I've tried both

I don't know then. Wait for patch?
