Attentionnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are now coming up with a repack for the newest TS4 follow-up patch, version 1.56.52.1020!! Patch notes can be found here:
https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/967218/october-3rd-2019-patch-notes

This is another follow-up patch released by EA to fix a few minor in-game bugs and...it contains two new robot-style costumes!!



I would suggest you take the time now to read this introduction. Read it slowly, then read it again. And again.




Credits
Credits to the group CODEX for creating the No-Origin files.  

Credits to @anadius for compiling the language strings for this patch/DLC version, as has been the case for quite some time now!

Credits to @Freezer Bunny for allowing us access to a legit Origin version of this..."game".      

Last but not least credits to those unnamed people (too many to name) who volunteer for seeding these items.    




Requirements

You can apply this thing directly after having installed "Realm of Magic" from G4TW (refer to this guide for details), or if you got your repack from elsewhere you must have a TS4 game on patch version 1.55.108.1020, before you can apply this item. The download is about 4.69GB in filesize, contains all 17 language strings, and a complete "Game"-folder as well.




"ISP warning"

For all of you digital internet travelers out there, a warning for the following countries is issued.

- America
- Canada
- Australia
- The United Kingdom
- New Zealand
- France
- Germany
- and probably a few other Western satellite states (Italy and Spain seem "on the ball" lately)...

Hypothetical and offended commenter wrote:Western countries stand for freedom, you beef, you!11111

Shut the eff up.    So where was I...yes.

If you happen to torrent the item using your internet while being in one (or more) of these countries, you risk a termination of your internet subscription, and maybe severe fines too. If that happens, then whatever further consequences you may face are out of our hand, and it will be solely within your responsibility to make the necessary arrangements. In general, make an effort to actively inform yourselves about the situation in your own home-country regarding torrenting, as the above-listed countries are by no means an exhaustive listing; these countries are just your "usual suspects" in that regard. Use a paid VPN service like ProtonVPN, NordVPN, VPN.ac, or Windscribe to cover your activities. If that is not an option for you, consider using the direct download link.

And note that these services are just recommendations. There's many more decent VPN services out there. As long as the basics of the VPN provider are present (privacy-friendly jurisdiction/location of servers, DNS leak protection, killswitch), you're good with any VPN service that supports torrenting.

"Does it have to be a paid VPN service???" Yes, it does, because free ones are not going to cover your properly. VPN services are aware of the fact that more and more countries don't allow torrenting, and they want to exploit these trends, by offering P2P-capability only on paid plans.

Even if you use a VPN, try not to connect to servers located in the above-mentioned countries...if at all possible with your particular VPN service.


Adverts information

We are also using adverts on these download links, as usual. Yes, I know: "Evil adverts", and so forth. But since we need the revenue, we'll have to ask you to bear with us. Read this information on adverts to learn how to navigate this 'obstacle'. Your Support in that regard is crucial for our mission, and I'd also like to give a big shoutout to everybody who has supported us in that regard! Your contributions will not be forgotten, which you may understand better...in the near future.

Note that the adverts contain a "video". Just mute the browser tab for about 45 seconds, after which it should allow you to bypass that step with the video. The video will be removed after one week from now. So after that one week-period, there is only the portion of "Click on interesting articles", on the advertising service.

I think I said everything I wanted to say for the moment. Stay safe everybody, and good luck! P.S. I think that this time, initial seeding will be slower, but we'll see.



Download Links



 Magnet link

(self-explanatory I hope, but if you suffer from 'ISP surveillance' then you should only torrent this thing through a good VPN service. Examples are ProtonVPN, NordVPN, VPN.ac, or Windscribe. Alternatively, use one of the two direct download options, below. We also recommend using torrent clients such as qBittorrent, Tixati, Transmission or Deluge for download. We do not recommend using Vuze or uTorrent!)



 Language Strings

(for people who downloaded a different repack in the meantime; it will give you all 17 language versions of the game)



 "Game"-folder

(the people who have downloaded the full patch & DLC from ZLOrigin already, can use this "Game-folder" to bypass the ZClient log-in)


You are dismissed. For now.

Thank you so very much!!!!!!

thank you very much appreciate all your work to get this to us so quickly hope this will fix my save problem (game has been getting stuck every time I try to save )

Thank you  

Many thanks again to the numerous (and usually unnamed) people who support our platform and also help seeding these items!

 

One more thing maybe: if there are still people seeding the previous 1.55.108.1020 hotfix / patch ... then I suppose you can now stop doing so. But that's up to you in the end. I've edited the previous announcement and just put up that bold red disclaimer on top of it.

I am a bit confused now. Should I install the Realm of Magic first? Or does this patch include it as well?

I have not updated the game since Islan d Living was released.

Yes, you're right. I made a mistake in the opening announcement (and I removed the affected text passage now   ). What I meant to say was that this item here only includes the content from the previous 1.55.108.1020 patch.

It does not include the content from Realm of Magic. So yes, you must install Realm of Magic first, then you can use this 1.56.52.1020 update.

Hey I've been having some issues with "blank interactions or empty interactions" a issue with language strings. I'm currently on the spanish version and this had happened me before but with language strings it was fixed it, now even Ive put the language strings and still having it. 
Could anyone fix it? 

I doubt it's because of language strings. G4TW releases have all languages. Remove all mods and try again. If that doesn't help run the validator (uncheck "quick scan"!)

I looked at the files again, and found no issues under the __Installer, Data/Client and Delta-subfolders. Everything showed as either version 1.56.52.1020, or modification date "25-09-2019", which appears to be the latest date for these files. I also think that generally...if there was anything wrong with the Spanish portion of your language strings, then your speech/interaction bubbles would look far worse, but in your example screenshot I "only" see one issue. And if the situation on your end was really worse, you probably would have posted a different screenshot - with more than one defective bubble.

Of course, there is a chance that I'm wrong in my analysis, however small. But let's see.

Besides checking (all) of your mods again, try clearing your cache too:

Edit: will close this thread now. For further help requests, please search existing discussions on here, or if you feel you cannot find a solution to your problem(s), you can open a new topic under "The Sims 4 Support".

Backup direct download link has been put in place!
