Had to reset my computer.

by Guest Wed 08 May 2019, 04:41

Like the title said i had to reset my computer so i redownloaded the whole sims 4 game and when I finished my computer's been telling me that it's found Trojan:Win32/Oremu.A and blocked them all. I've been on the site for a while so I can say that this is one of the safest sites I've been on but I am confused by this and wonder if I made a mistake somewhere. I also can' t launch the game for some reason and my computer keeps saying that sim's 4 has shut down and that windows is looking for a solution.

False positive. Many anti-viruses mark the crack as a virus even though it's clean.

by Guest Wed 08 May 2019, 12:13

Have you excluded all sims 4 related files in your Virus protection program? that also includes your downloads folder? Then you might have to restore that file from your Virus quaranteen folder.
I have Anadius all in one installed on an external HD and play the game from there, because my work has a very aggressive anti virus installed on our Computers, so I was no longer able to play the game from my C drive.

hope this helps.

I allowed access for it through windows defender and now I get a system error that says that the code execution cannot proceed because orangeemu.DLL was not found. Reinstalling can fix the problem. Did I install the game in the wrong order?

Just like my previous reply to the other guy that helped me I allowed acces for it through windows defender and now I get a system error that says that the code execution cannot proceed because orangeemu.DLL was not found.

No. Your anti-virus quarantined or deleted the file. If you can, restore it from the quarantine. If you can't, extract it again from last DLC/update you downloaded.

BTW, I see you're using 32-bit exe. The Sims 4 is dropping 32-bit support in June so if you want to play any new DLC that will be released after StrangerVille you need to upgrade your PC. Or install 64-bit system if your CPU allows it.

There are no mistakes to be made, with regards to TS4, though I wonder about something else. You said you had to re-install Windows, in the course of which you also had to re-download TS4.

Did you (successfully) manage to play the game, before that? Because antivirus software pretty much have been marking certain game files as viruses, since the release in 2014. Or maybe in your case, the files really didn't get flagged in the antivirus you used...

Either way and like everybody said already, a lot of DRM-bypasses (a.k.a. cracks) are wrongly marked as viruses, so you should ignore these "warnings". The reason these "warnings" come up are partly due to the technical behavior of these files (= the need to emulate game clients such as Steam or Origin), but partly also intended as a means to scare off the average user and convince them that pirates are bad.

Now in case of the latter, guess who has a special interest in conveying that message...? Suspect

I'm drawing a blank on who is sending the message care to fill me in I is confused

. I also deleted the old file of the sims 4 and am reextracting the game from the previous torrents again, but Im still getting the box that said that the sims has stopped working and windows is trying to find a solution for it. I had the game working perfectly before I reset my computer, I don't know why it isn't working now.

I've also tried to look into the regedit under Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Maxis\The Sims 4 and I see that 2 files, one says default and no set value and the other is GDFBinary64 and has as a value C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\__Installer\GDFBinary_en_US_64.dll i don't know if that helps

I'm probably making a bigger mess of this than needed be but last night i reset my laptop again thinking that maybe it's a problem with it since for some reason I kept seeing multiple sims 4 and Electronic art files with wither some of the same downloads or a file that said user data locked. Now that I did that when I try to do the setup wizard to set up the base game I get an installation error 12002 and a virtual C++ 2013 4154 error. Why.

Ok the base game finally downloaded, I'm just hoping that the rest will download and the game will run, thank you so much, if I have any more problems can I email you?

No, just post here.

ok, Btw I tried to start the game up again with the updates up to the toddlars new version but for some reason it won't run.
Here's what i got from validator

1. You didn't even install the base game. You just extracted the installer.
2. You extracted "the sims 4 update v1.29.69.1020" to subfolder - that's another thing you did wrong.
3. You didn't add the fixed "Game" folder (step 7 of the installation guide: https://www.games4theworld.club/t21806-must-read-how-to-install-the-sims-4-correctly )

Start over and follow the guide step by step. Or you can try using my repack.

oK I deleted everything and restarted again, I'm back on step 7 and downloaded the update, do I take everything from the update folder and paste it in the main sims 4 folder replacing all the old one's with what is in the updated one? or just replace the game folder.

by Guest Thu 09 May 2019, 20:52

That's step 6. Yes, replace everything. Then download "Game" folder from step 7.

@Crippling depression, can I also ask you to not use the e-mail contact form to ask for game Support, please? I do not give e-mail game-Support, and it pretty much says so in my signature and on that Contacts-page. It would just make the Forum redundant, plus the flow of conversation is disrupted if part of the discussion takes place on the Forum, and the other part through e-mail.

I get that you're having difficulties with this, although the TS4 Must-Read does actually recommend (big green notice at the beginning) to use different venues for (re-)installing the game if you are new(-ish). Now that you have come this far though, you can and should of course roll with your current method.

But these difficulties are common, which is why we put that big bold green notice on top of the guide.

Good luck either way! Yess, aye lieeke!
