Sims 4 EP,GP,Seasons Install Issue Empty Sims 4 EP,GP,Seasons Install Issue

Post by Guest Fri 29 Jun 2018, 00:35

Howdy, all Smile

I have downloaded the recent Seasons All-In-One Download from here. I had a few EP,SP, and of course, base game, that was previously purchased, but they were older EP and SPs.  I tried to install some of the later GP, SP, and Seasons, but the only one that actually shows up IS Seasons:- so yes, Seasons works in my game. Even though I didn't copy all of the contents of G4TW All-In-One EP,GP,SPs into my personal game drive, when I open TS4, I can literally SEE all of the icons highlighted; however, it tells me to "Download to Use" them,even the ones I have attempted to install and whose folder is actually sitting my game drive (see attached). I've "uninstalled" Seasons and attempted to install GP06 (Jungle Adventure) without Seasons, but it still tells me "Download to Use".

Any help would be appreciated! 0:]

All icons will be highlighted because that's what the crack does. If it annoys you you can disable them using this guide or my DLC-toggler.

Try this and post the result here. It will tell us what files are missing.

Thanks, but that's not my problem. I'm saying that the games I installed are, although showing via the icons, aren't actually inthe gameand instead, is telling me to "Download to Use"; however, they're already installed.

That's why I told you to use the validator. Because clearly game doesn't detect those DLCs. Validator will list all unknown/missing files.

This here is the problem (I guess). Quote from your opening statement:

The .ISO file from @Tarac "stands as is", and you cannot directly pick and choose files from it. In other words: yes, you are actually supposed to either take the .ISO as is, or to copy its entire contents onto your hard-drive, so that you can add future updates to it by means of copy/paste.

For new users, the .ISO is doubtlessly an attractive and quick alternative to getting all updates available thus far. But as it stands with this format, it must be communicated (more clearly), how to proceed in the event of future updates. I'm sure though that Tarac will add a short notice to it, in due course.

We could also make a .rar file for the entire installation folder of The Sims 4, but in my opinion it would be a bit more of a hassle, especially given that Tarac already offers this .ISO file.

It's quite simple. You cannot add or delete parts of an unopened/unmounted .iso file.
In order to be able to amend anything on the iso, you must open/mount it and copy the mounted/Opened iso to your (external) Hard disk.
In case of future DLC's, copy the opened DLC to your HDD and from then on you can add these new DLC's by copying the folders.

Compare it with a .rar file. You can't change the .rar file without extraction. The only advantage of .iso is that you don't have to unrar (which for large files can take a lot of time), simply rightclick on an .iso and select Open with Explorer and it's opened in less than a second.

Okay, perhaps I didn't explain it right. When I said I "didn't copy all of the contents", I meant I didn't copy all of the SP,GP,EP because I didn't want all of them in my game. I only wanted certain SP,GP,EP in game. Everything else was copied/mounted properly, as required, just not ALL of the SP,EP,GPs; however, it's still telling me to "Download to Use" the ones that I *did* install.

I've uninstalled everything and did a clean reinstall. Still coming up with same problem.  TIA for the help, btw!

ETA: Cannot use your validator.

I actually read the comment 3 times, and I'm still not 100% sure of the exact bearing.  Facepalm  Do you maybe mean to tell us, that you copied only some files/folders of the original .ISO (onto the hard-drive?), and then used the method here to activate only those DLC that you wanted?

Because...? Validator first looks for "Game\Bin\Default.ini" to get the game version. If that file is not present - you messed up.

@The_Gh0stman= yes. In short, everything installed, per the instructions, but I only added the packs that I wanted to my game; however, the only pack that is showing (aside from the ones purchased) is Seasons. The others are not.

@Anadius = tried to use Validator and in the middle of uploading (I can see the bar and the upload percentage), it stops around 22% and doesn't move. The file you referenced is 100% present, I can confirm.

Around 22% of some file or total? There are 2 progress bars. You could press F12 (or Ctrl+Shift+J/K, depending on the browser), open console tab and then start validator. If it really stops at 22% it should show some error there. OR you could just use recommended way and select .md5 file.
