soo sooo soo happy this worked for me ! steps for people using windows! v 1. select a pack to download on the 2nd website (i download 4 packs at a time, the website will try to stop you, just spam click it. ALSO, do NOT delete the pack from the "My Drive" list on the website until it is finished downloading! if you do it will not work.) 2. you should get a zipped file named after the pack you just downloaded, extract the 2 folders from this .zip file and place it into a new folder (helps keep things organized) 3. move the EP/FP/GP file into your "The Sims 4" folder (where the Game, Support & _Installer files are) 4. open both Installer files (the one you downloaded AND the one in the TS4 folder) 5. click dlc, drag the EP/FP/GP file from the file you downloaded into the DLC file inside of the TS4 folder 6. open your game and enjoy your new packs!!!

put the packs you’ve installed in ProgramFiles>Ea Games> Sims 4. and please make sure that after extracting the file, you place the Ep file with the installer together. but if you get more “EP’s” don’t put another installer folder inside
@@persolsims it's probably not showing up in ea because I don't have an installer file in the Sims 4 folder. I'll put one in and see it it changes that (EDIT: should I replace the installer file that the Sims 4 folder comes with, with one from the pack folders or does that not change anything?)

@@meryemsonmez8518 unfortunately, I don't know how to share the packs. Everyone has to be on that website at the same time so you may only be able to do a few at a time; mine cut off a few of the packs I wanted to download at first. But after downloading the first few it became easier to continue downloading some of the rest. All I can say is patience :(
For those in Windows who downloaded the DLC unlocker v2 and tried to put the dlc file in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4, or in Local Disk (C:) > Programs (×86) and then didn't find the EA Games file, so maybe you put it in the Origin file instead. If the EA app said you had all the games but you couldn't play them, those might not be the right places. In my pc I had to go to Local Disk (C:) > Programs > EA Games > The Sims 4. I put everything there and it worked! P.S.: My computer isn't in English, but I think the names should be understandable.
I went thru local disk (C:) > program files > EA games, but there is no Sims 4 file. Straight up nothing. There's another folder called electronic arts in local disk, but that just leads to another folder called EA desktop, and going further gives me 2 folders called EA desktop and outdated EA desktop. After that it's files and folders I don't understand. I downloaded sims 4 thru steam, so I tried going through local disk (C:) > program files (×86) > steam > steamapps > common > the sims 4 by myself, and I... think....... this is where I should put them.........??????? But I don't know where to go from there. Idk if u would know, tho. I watched this vid when it it was posted for just 6 hours so I've basically been spending the past 3 days trying to work this out and failing miserably XD. Every comment I try to follow for windows either has me incredibly confused or missing a folder or something. IDK WAT TO DO.
Thank you so much!! This was literally one of the EASIEST and straightforward videos I’ve ever watched for getting things like this! 👏 I am MANIFESTING for you that you get more recognition and support!!
If your on Mac and you’ve downloaded all the packs into the correct folder but they aren’t showing up in the game this is what worked for me bc I had the same issue: Basically you wanna delete origin and sims 4 but first I would copy/save your Electronic Arts folder to a different location (I just saved mine on my desktop and renamed it “electronic arts old”) then remove your mods out of your mods folder in that old folder and save them to a different folder on your desktop. Then delete orgin and sims, also make sure you search your Mac for the “sims 4 packs” folder and delete that as well. delete everything off your folder that has to do with orgin or sims 4. Then redownload orgin and sims 4 and rerun the dlc unlocker (I didn’t delete the dlc unlocker or redownload the dlcs from the website). When I opened the sims before reruning the dlc unlocker my old saved file was still there. But now you can COPY AND PASTE (don’t drag and drop) the dlcs into the “sims 4 packs” folder and still make sure your offline when opening the game. It’s up to you if you want to move all your mods and cc back into your new ea folder but I’ve heard that mods and ccs can sometimes break your game and might’ve been the reason you couldn’t see your dlcs
Thank you so much! I’m usually really nervous about doing things like this on my own, so I hope I’ll get my friend to supervise me so I can have fun in the game!
omgg thank you so much, i have been looking for a video to help me and everyone was always vague on directions, it took a bit of time at first because it was showing me an error with a limit anytime i tryed to download the packs but i just waited and refreshed the screen and it worked! thank you so i much, i subscribed:)
you don’t need to make an account anymore! skip to the dlc unlocker ! you can access it in the link in the description , then download the packs from my patreon!
I literally had no idea this existed thank you bestieeee For anyone using windows and u have ea and steam I just figured out how to do it but idk how to do it if u only have ea Follow everything he did up until 6:18 but with the ea unlocker (the first one that pops up when clicking the first link). If u are confused since hes using the second one u can also follow the directions the website gives which tells u how to download the unlocker So after downloading the dlc u want go into steam then hover over the "library" part and go to "downloads" after that press the settings button in the corner then press the "steam library folders" which should bring a storage pop up of all of your steam games Press the ... in the corner and then press "browse folder" that should open up a files folder called "steam apps" Once you are in the folder open up the "common" folder and then go to The Sims4 folder so now you should take the dlc folder you downloaded which should have 2 folders one with it a __P folder (EP, SP, GP, or FP) and a __Installer folder Put the "EP __ " folder (whichever one it is im using ep cus i downloaded a expansion pack) directly into the sims4 folder you will see if u have other dlc that there will be other EP folders that look similar After that go through the "Installer" folder at the top of the sims4 folder. Then through the "DLC" Folder After this again if you've gotten DLC before there should see EP folders in it Now open the "__installer" folder that you downloaded. Go into DLC and then drag the EP folder into the DLC folder Press play through Steam and then it should work
@@fragilesalvation01 the installer ones are folders Ill try to edit it to make a bit more sense. I saw him reply to someone that he will try to make a windows version so if it still doesnt work im sure his will make more sense😭
THIS WORKED!! tysm❤ it took me a few hours since im using windows and ea but I figured it out in the end thanks to this video and the helpful comments!!
@@leila-cr5xn I'm so confused on the tutorial on the website it says "Copy "EP", "FP", "GP" and "SP" folders from the ZIP file opened in step 1 to the folder opened in step 2", but when I download the packs it just says like E01, E02 etc... Did this happen to you?? I can't see them in game
omg thank u sm!!! i just started playing sims a couple months ago when the base game became free but i really didn’t wanna pay for the packs. i ended up missing a step but i was able to still get packs after i fixed my mistake. ❤❤
I’ve fully completed everything, felt so proud of myself too😂. The packs appeared at the start, however they weren’t in the gameplay. Thanks tho! I’ll probably just stick to buying them
Girl, it worked it worked it worked!!!! You have no idea how much I owe you rn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You’re the best!!!!!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
IT ACTALLY WORKED! omg thank you so much! now i can get all the packs cause this is gonna be the last sims i ever buy edit: it donest show on ea app but they do work, and the ea folder is empty so I just put it in my origin folder
If you don't see mods in game then try running the "add fake entitlements.command" in the origin dlc unlocker after adding packs to "the sims 4 packs" folder. You need to follow the steps that terminal tells you. Then open the game in offline mode. It worked for me.
@Jay Bee There's literally nothing wrong with it, all the sims 4 packs are like 50 bucks each and not everyone can afford them, plus the game is so boring without packs.
Omg I’ve been trying to do this for forever and I’ve never gotten it to work before. This tutorial helped so much, thank you for making it easy to understand!!!! Sending this to all my friends and subscribing :)))
So since EA is making us Mac users switch to the EA App rather than use Origin and this way won’t work anymore, are you able to do a tutorial and explain the new way which anadius has posted on his website? It’s under EA DLC Unlocker for Mac (Mac only; EA app only).
Omg I never comment, but this deserves video deserves it! Originally I thought it wouldn't work because I had the EA app instead of Origin but it does! If it isn't working before you give up CHECK THE COMMENTS someone probably has the thing your doing wrong fixed. Also take out your mods folder just to make sure its not one of your mods that's not letting you open sims4(This may or may not be from my own experience I'm dumb haha) Thank you for this video I really appreciate it when I saw the pack come up I screamed, you're amazing!
Hi everyone, after many times it’s just working for me. I copy and paste "The sims 4 Packs" file on application (When you open "Finder", the logo application it’s on your left) and everything works perfectly !
OMG Y'ALL LITERALLY i was trying to figure this out and I am a new sims player. My game decided to update on my first day of having it and I had no idea what was going on. All I had to do was open the addfakecommand and restart the unlocker :DDDD
I've heard stories of people who've pirated Sims 4 packs and their internet providers caught on, sending them emails to delete the pirated packs. Has this ever happened to you with this way of getting the packs?
You can actually get banned by EA from the servers and won’t be able to use gallery and things. I don’t know if your ISP will really care. Worst case scenario you can actually go to jail for this but unlikely.
hii thanks for the tutorial! idk if you have already seen, but origin switched to the ea app and now I lost all my free packs:(( im trying to download them all again but idk if this will work. I have an iMac btw and now im forced to use ea lol. pls help a girl out, thank you
I followed the terminal directions, but the dlcs wont show up in my game :( i've only downloaded two packs and it says i own them all...but even the ones i downloaded aren't available in my game. i redownloaded the dlc unlocker twice to make sure nothing went wrong and followed all the steps, but nothing has worked, any advice? thank you so much for this tut!
hm that’s really weird. if you’re on windows make sure that you’ve put the ep files in Programx86/OriginGames/Sims4. if you’re on mac then the users/sims4 packs should work. also pls make sure that the files are in the right place, that should be the only reason why it says you own all the packs. you would know you have the packs once you boot up the sims 4 and it will show you! pls tell me if this helps
@@user-rf6he8ip2e OH! try this! if you see that it says u own the packs… quit origin. go online then run the sims 4. then quit the sims 4. then quit and go offline again then run the game and see
This is the sort section when you register. Valve(Steam)- Half-Life:Alyx, Portal 2, Team Fortress 2. Electronic Arts(Origin)- Need for Speed, Command & Conquer, Battlefield.
This is great! But in the end it’s not even worth the effort anymore 😭 because if you don’t have enough money to get all the packs, I doubt ppl be having enough to get a decent powerful enough computer to even run this laggy build simulator of a game 😭😭😭 WOE IS ME WHY CANT WE HAVE GAMES LIKE SIMS 2 AND 3 ANYMORE
LOLLL TBH😭😭😭BUT that’s why it’s good to have it free because there’s no point in wasting money on sims likeeee especially the new pack coming out… like even the baby update. We should’ve gotten that for free
@@persolsims EXACTLY. that ENTIRE pack shouldn’t be behind a paywall. How are we paying for basic life functions and activities and life stages when it’s…A LIFE SIMULATOR??? but the sims community is so used to settling for less that now… EA knows there’s no line when it comes to that.
I did it and when I got to the game the worlds were there but like blank I couldn’t see the price nothing ! And when I got in create a sim all the packs turned the sims in question marks please help!
@@persolsims I'm on windows ea thank you for responding! I found the issue I downloaded the ea installer before I undownloaded origin and switched to the ea app so all I had to do was undownload it and then re-download it again and now everything works thank you so much!
Hey Persol, amazing and convenient video. I've been trying this out for montsh without luck. I keep on getting various errors though, one being this one: "Error: User rate limit exceeded.", any idea why it does that? Anyone help please. Thank you
okay to all niggas out there this is working I've been using this since jan 2023. why? fuck EA sims 4 sucks but mah girl love this game so ihave to install on her pc
Can you help I am on the third step and its not letting me download the packs like its saying user rate limit exceeded and I am on mac so its really confusing.
i forget the original poster but i did this a few months ago and i have loved playing the game, cant wait to add the new pack this way too, it honestly works guys, free the simmers, thanks for making a super easy tutorial!
okay guys yes this works!! I was doing at wrong at first and I was so confused so my problem was I followed every step correctly but I kept messing up at the "add fake entitlements.command" I kept copy and pasting stuff all I had to do was press the number 2 and then it finally worked ( I did this on a 2017 MacBook Air btw) basically what im saying is if u get stressed out js calm down and focus bc it so simple but can be yet so complicated
yes. do you’d download the EA DLC UNLOCKER. after downloading, extract the zip file. open that folder and then run add fake entitlements command. it will then ask you for some information regarding what u want to do for the sims. it will ask to first “download the dlc unlocker, type in the corresponding number and press enter. then press the number that corresponds to the game you want to unlock, that being the sims 4. then after that the process will tell you it’s done. you can then quit it and proceed to step two to download the packs. the packs should be extracted and then placed into Program Files> ea games> sims 4. that’s if you have the ea app. if you are still on origin put the EP folders in Programfilesx86>origin games>sims4
On the origin unlocker, I do everything correct but its says "Couldn't find entitlement files, you were supposed to start the game!", maybe it is because I use EA on Mac? Idk if anyone knows what should I do pls respond
everyone!! another mac tutorial will be out soon as ORIGIN has moved all mac users over to EA! There is a way to get the packs still! Please stay tuned
I don’t have a Mac but still got moved to EA 🥲 can u do a Tutorial for Windows as well

Everyone has to be on that website at the same time so you may only be able to do a few at a time; mine cut off a few of the packs I wanted to download at first. But after downloading the first few it became easier to continue downloading some of the rest. All I can say is patience :(
this will come in clutch with growing together, and THANK👏YOU👏
NO PROBLEM AND YES!! only up from here
For those in Windows who downloaded the DLC unlocker v2 and tried to put the dlc file in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4, or in Local Disk (C:) > Programs (×86) and then didn't find the EA Games file, so maybe you put it in the Origin file instead. If the EA app said you had all the games but you couldn't play them, those might not be the right places.
In my pc I had to go to Local Disk (C:) > Programs > EA Games > The Sims 4. I put everything there and it worked!
P.S.: My computer isn't in English, but I think the names should be understandable.
would u put it in the sim4 folder where the game and support is or outside the folder
@@jamalsefolo4044 You probably figured it out already, but inside the Sims 4 folder.
@@rosamarques5959 alright ty
THANK YOUUU
I went thru local disk (C:) > program files > EA games, but there is no Sims 4 file. Straight up nothing. There's another folder called electronic arts in local disk, but that just leads to another folder called EA desktop, and going further gives me 2 folders called EA desktop and outdated EA desktop. After that it's files and folders I don't understand.
I downloaded sims 4 thru steam, so I tried going through local disk (C:) > program files (×86) > steam > steamapps > common > the sims 4 by myself, and I... think....... this is where I should put them.........??????? But I don't know where to go from there. Idk if u would know, tho.
I watched this vid when it it was posted for just 6 hours so I've basically been spending the past 3 days trying to work this out and failing miserably XD. Every comment I try to follow for windows either has me incredibly confused or missing a folder or something. IDK WAT TO DO.
Thank you so much!! This was literally one of the EASIEST and straightforward videos I’ve ever watched for getting things like this! 👏 I am MANIFESTING for you that you get more recognition and support!!
If your on Mac and you’ve downloaded all the packs into the correct folder but they aren’t showing up in the game this is what worked for me bc I had the same issue:
Basically you wanna delete origin and sims 4 but first I would copy/save your Electronic Arts folder to a different location (I just saved mine on my desktop and renamed it “electronic arts old”) then remove your mods out of your mods folder in that old folder and save them to a different folder on your desktop. Then delete orgin and sims, also make sure you search your Mac for the “sims 4 packs” folder and delete that as well. delete everything off your folder that has to do with orgin or sims 4. Then redownload orgin and sims 4 and rerun the dlc unlocker (I didn’t delete the dlc unlocker or redownload the dlcs from the website). When I opened the sims before reruning the dlc unlocker my old saved file was still there. But now you can COPY AND PASTE (don’t drag and drop) the dlcs into the “sims 4 packs” folder and still make sure your offline when opening the game. It’s up to you if you want to move all your mods and cc back into your new ea folder but I’ve heard that mods and ccs can sometimes break your game and might’ve been the reason you couldn’t see your dlcs
I also put the DLCs into my sims 4 pack folders one at a time and opened the game up offline just to ensure the packs were there
I tried this and my packs still won't work, any tips?
for anyone that has been seeing "limit exceeded" try copying the dlc links again! SERVERS ARE UP AND RUNNING
can u pls help on windows lol dont rlly know how am i gon put the pack into the game
How do I register on the site? I put in the information I just don't know who owns the games and I can't get past it.
@@nikkikei4984 you have to look them up! but i do have the answers one sec
@@gantigmaaselenge2342 you have to put the packs in Program Files>Ea Games>Sims 4
It says limit exceeded for me at the time of this comment. Should I just try again later?
Thank you so much! I’m usually really nervous about doing things like this on my own, so I hope I’ll get my friend to supervise me so I can have fun in the game!
omgg thank you so much, i have been looking for a video to help me and everyone was always vague on directions, it took a bit of time at first because it was showing me an error with a limit anytime i tryed to download the packs but i just waited and refreshed the screen and it worked! thank you so i much, i subscribed:)
you don’t need to make an account anymore! skip to the dlc unlocker ! you can access it in the link in the description , then download the packs from my patreon!
I actually love you this is so helpful omg
it’s still making me login but when i try to login it’s sayinf my username is inactive even tho i just made the account 😭😭

@@brinleyhelms4832
does this still work? I did all the steps and it worked, the packs show they're downloaded in the "my packs" section but don't work in gameplay.
@@brinleyhelms4832you have to activate it
I literally had no idea this existed thank you bestieeee
For anyone using windows and u have ea and steam I just figured out how to do it but idk how to do it if u only have ea
Follow everything he did up until 6:18 but with the ea unlocker (the first one that pops up when clicking the first link). If u are confused since hes using the second one u can also follow the directions the website gives which tells u how to download the unlocker
So after downloading the dlc u want go into steam then hover over the "library" part and go to "downloads"
after that press the settings button in the corner
then press the "steam library folders" which should bring a storage pop up of all of your steam games
Press the ... in the corner and then press "browse folder" that should open up a files folder called "steam apps"
Once you are in the folder open up the "common" folder and then go to The Sims4 folder
so now you should take the dlc folder you downloaded which should have 2 folders one with it a __P folder (EP, SP, GP, or FP) and a __Installer folder
Put the "EP __ " folder (whichever one it is im using ep cus i downloaded a expansion pack) directly into the sims4 folder you will see if u have other dlc that there will be other EP folders that look similar
After that go through the "Installer" folder at the top of the sims4 folder. Then through the "DLC" Folder
After this again if you've gotten DLC before there should see EP folders in it
Now open the "__installer" folder that you downloaded. Go into DLC and then drag the EP folder into the DLC folder
Press play through Steam and then it should work
This was my case but my steam just acted crazy i had to uninstall it 😭😭
Can you explain it better on the "installer" part I'm lost 😭
@@fragilesalvation01 the installer ones are folders Ill try to edit it to make a bit more sense. I saw him reply to someone that he will try to make a windows version so if it still doesnt work im sure his will make more sense😭
@@hmm..8870 thank you still I'll try it when I can

THIS WORKED!! tysm❤ it took me a few hours since im using windows and ea but I figured it out in the end thanks to this video and the helpful comments!!
how do you add it to sims 4 app? im so confused. i downloaded a pack and dont know what to do after.
@shaidimacs1039 hii you need to move them into your ea folder or origin whatever you use
@@leila-cr5xn I'm so confused on the tutorial on the website it says "Copy "EP", "FP", "GP" and "SP" folders from the ZIP file opened in step 1 to the folder opened in step 2", but when I download the packs it just says like E01, E02 etc... Did this happen to you?? I can't see them in game
omg thank u sm!!! i just started playing sims a couple months ago when the base game became free but i really didn’t wanna pay for the packs. i ended up missing a step but i was able to still get packs after i fixed my mistake. ❤❤
awww yesss enjoyyy!!
I’ve fully completed everything, felt so proud of myself too😂. The packs appeared at the start, however they weren’t in the gameplay. Thanks tho! I’ll probably just stick to buying them
hey, excuse me but i do not find how to create an account on the first website, could you help me please ?

Do they update it as the game grows?
@@xXJanayY yup they do! havent had any problems with any updates it always runs so smooth!

Thank you so much! I’ve been looking for a way to get packs for free and I finally found a video that works tysm!
IT ACTALLY WORKED! omg thank you so much! now i can get all the packs cause this is gonna be the last sims i ever buy
edit: it donest show on ea app but they do work, and the ea folder is empty so I just put it in my origin folder
yes! i was trying to tell everyone to put the da folder into the origin folder!!!
i’ve spent like over 400 on packs i wish i seen this sooner🤣 will definitely use this to get the rest, thankyou so much 😁
no problem!!!! and omg $400 is so much!
THANK YOUUUUU ive been wanting city living for years but I didn't want to pay like $50 for it bruh that's literally half of my allowance 💀
Thank you so much! I got locked out of my account with an old email and phone number and was CRUSHED to lose all my packs ! You are an Angel !
If you don't see mods in game then try running the "add fake entitlements.command" in the origin dlc unlocker after adding packs to "the sims 4 packs" folder. You need to follow the steps that terminal tells you. Then open the game in offline mode. It worked for me.
It worked after following that extra step thank you!

So since EA is making us Mac users switch to the EA App rather than use Origin and this way won’t work anymore, are you able to do a tutorial and explain the new way which anadius has posted on his website? It’s under EA DLC Unlocker for Mac (Mac only; EA app only).
i spent the last 3 days frustratingly following reddit directions when all i had to do was watch this video! thank you kind sir
do you have discord? I'm using windows and I'm strugglig
you seriously need more attention!!!! love your vids and tiktoks♥
ahhhh that means a lot thank youuu
You're really mvping for us out here thanks king. also Is this permanent or will these disappear if u were to delete the ea unlocker?
they should be permanent! this has been out for years!
@@persolsims thank you so much u just saved me like over 100 dollars😭😭

OMFG, it worked, not gonna lie it took me awhile and it was frustrating but I finally got it thank you so much!
you’re welcome!!!!
Omg I never comment, but this deserves video deserves it! Originally I thought it wouldn't work because I had the EA app instead of Origin but it does! If it isn't working before you give up CHECK THE COMMENTS someone probably has the thing your doing wrong fixed. Also take out your mods folder just to make sure its not one of your mods that's not letting you open sims4(This may or may not be from my own experience I'm dumb haha) Thank you for this video I really appreciate it when I saw the pack come up I screamed, you're amazing!
Now we want a tutorial on how to put reshade on it!

awww thank youuu, are there any sims related videos u wanna see in the future!!
How long have u been using it? I’m kinda scared to be kicked out or some
is it hassle to update the game and add new DLCs? Should you redownload the unlocker and go over the steps again for every update?
Thank you sooo much . I was struggling because of the privacy setting 😊
OMG Y'ALL LITERALLY i was trying to figure this out and I am a new sims player. My game decided to update on my first day of having it and I had no idea what was going on. All I had to do was open the addfakecommand and restart the unlocker :DDDD
I've heard stories of people who've pirated Sims 4 packs and their internet providers caught on, sending them emails to delete the pirated packs. Has this ever happened to you with this way of getting the packs?
no nothing like that has happened to me at all
it picks it up as if they are just packs going into the folders just as if u were to purchase them
@@persolsims Alright, thank you!
You can actually get banned by EA from the servers and won’t be able to use gallery and things. I don’t know if your ISP will really care. Worst case scenario you can actually go to jail for this but unlikely.

hm that’s really weird. if you’re on windows make sure that you’ve put the ep files in Programx86/OriginGames/Sims4. if you’re on mac then the users/sims4 packs should work. also pls make sure that the files are in the right place, that should be the only reason why it says you own all the packs. you would know you have the packs once you boot up the sims 4 and it will show you! pls tell me if this helps

yes!!!!
Im so confused in the first step since im in windows so im doing version 2 could you describe more on how to do that one?
yes. do you’d download the EA DLC UNLOCKER. after downloading, extract the zip file. open that folder and then run add fake entitlements command. it will then ask you for some information regarding what u want to do for the sims. it will ask to first “download the dlc unlocker, type in the corresponding number and press enter. then press the number that corresponds to the game you want to unlock, that being the sims 4. then after that the process will tell you it’s done. you can then quit it and proceed to step two to download the packs. the packs should be extracted and then placed into Program Files> ea games> sims 4. that’s if you have the ea app. if you are still on origin put the EP folders in Programfilesx86>origin games>sims4
