Strangerville not showing up

Hi, I have a problem with strangerville. I downloaded it from your site, just like I did with every other Sims pack, but it just doesn't show up in the game. I tried to fix the issue with the sims validator, even installed their version of Strangerville but it still won't work. I don't have any idea how to fix this Help

When you start your game, what is the version number shown on the bottom line of the main page ?
If it is lower than 1.50.67.1020, you haven't installed Strangerville properly.

Yep, it's 1.47.49.1020, but I don't know what did I do wrong, I'm pretty sure I followed all of the steps

Strangerville

1. When torrent-download is completed, extract with 7zip.
2. Delete your existing folder Game from your install folder (Program Files\The Sims 4)
3. Copy (not move) all folders from the extracted download to your install folder The Sims 4

Just did all of that and nothing has changed, it's still not there : (

What exactly did you download from G4TW? Tell us the file name, file size and what's inside after extracting.

If you're talking about my repack then installing patch usually fixes everything. But that would be additional 3.6GB to download.

It's 5.9GB and there's everything that's inside: https://i.servimg.com/u/f53/20/04/15/97/siusio10.png

And how much do those files weight after extraction? I see you've got WinRAR. Try updating it or using 7-zip to extract those files again. And then run validator on your installation folder and second time on the extracted folder. And post both results here.

The folder after the winrar extraction weights 6,42GB, sims validator:

Spoiler:

7z extraction folder is 18,1GB, sims validator:

And the validator about my installation folder:

1. that's not a full report
2. I'm sure folder extracted with 7-zip is extracted properly but somehow you extracted it 3 times
3. if you want to use G4TW releases, don't skip DLCs - you're missing Seasons, Get Famous, Jungle Adventure, Laundry Day Stuff and My First Pet Stuff

So you've got two options:
1. download and install all DLCs in correct order starting from Laundry Day Stuff: https://www.games4theworld.club/t21806-must-read-how-to-install-the-sims-4-correctly
2. download and install patch from my repack - this will fix your game without installing missing DLCs (but of course you can download them too)

I'm sorry if that's a dumb question, but how do I download the patch? Do I just download the torrent version of the strangerville? Thank you so much for your help.

by Guest Tue 05 Mar 2019, 17:07

Nevermind, I found it, thank you so much once again

I am having the same issue. I have tried uninstalling and doing a complete reinstall of the game while following the instruction guide on the forum to a T. I still can't get Strangerville to show up but every DLC I install afterwards has worked perfectly fine.

Then run the validator.
