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!!!
This worked so well for me! I've been DREAMING about having all these packs and have been slowly buying them recently, but this just saved me so much $$ Thank you! You are doing God's work

Can you please help me? I did all the steps for windows but it only gave me weird free items in game and said i owned all the packs but when i play its not there? Pleas help!!
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?)
I use a Mac and OMG this actually works guys. It takes a bit of effort but just follow the steps and if anything is not working right just repeat the steps. I had trouble with the terminal issue, but I just repeated the steps and reread the directions again and it ended up working just fine!!!
Awesome job getting this out there dude, most of these should have been updates or part of the game from the start anyway and its EA we're talking about, if we could play the game without sending them cash for the half-assed effort then that's brilliant.

This works. You just gotta follow the instructions closely. Thanks for the video :) I'm on EA play and Windows, and up to the second link, I: Used a dummy account and clicked on dlcs I wanted, copied, and then downloaded them. Once downloaded, I copied the downloaded dlc into my 'Sims 4' folder. The folder will usually be a sub folder to either an Origin folder or EA games folder...it may not be for everyone?

I copied that folder and pasted it in the same folder as before, the 'Sims 4' folder. That's all I did. Just make sure your origin or ea is offline. Also, there are two sims 4 folders, don't use the one that has a mods, saves, screenshots etc. I'm not certain that that's the same for everyone though
@@karimamcintyre752 for me there was still a sims 4 folder under origin games even though i use the EA app. are you able to search in your files for the folder?
@@karimamcintyre752 I copied the packs into my old origin folder where all my other dlcs (which I purchased) were. In Local disk, Program files x86, origin games, the sims 4. For some reason, my ea play folder has nothing in it, but my origin folder is still there
@@cuckoos_ I think I have the same problem, but I started playing sims 4 after origin was replaced, so I don't think I can get it to work. Could something in the steam files help? I downloaded the sims from there.

It took a few hours but eventually, it gave me a different notification at the top than the two alternatives I had been receiving about the user limit. I pressed the reload button after that and every pack I selected was ready to be downloaded.
@@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.
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!
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!!
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😭
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
@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.
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:)
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. ❤❤
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
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
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!
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.
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 :)))
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 !
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 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.
@@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!
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!
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.
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
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.
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
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 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!
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
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
i was able to download the packs and it showed up in my game, but when i go on CAS and in the worlds with the expansion packs, there is a glitch and not all the items shows up from the packs! someone help
OH MY GOD I HAD TO COMEBACK HERE JUST TO SAY IT WORKED, JHDCJHBDCJBHJKN IM GONNA GO FERAL. I CANNOT BELIEVE IT WORKED. I GOT THE HIGH SHOOL YEARS.

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.
Immediately subscribed. I’ve tried a thousand other tutorials and yours is the only one that’s actually worked! Thank you for this!
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

NO PROBLEM AND YES!! only up from here
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?
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!
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!!
1 year later, you are my favorite person in the world thank you so much omg!! bowing down to you
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
oh you explained this perfectly 😂
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 ?

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!!
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
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!

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!
Good video! I downloaded some of the dlc's and all are working fine
AHH YAYY
does it make ur game lag?

they should be permanent! this has been out for years!
@@persolsims thank you so much u just saved me like over 100 dollars😭😭
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 !

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?

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.

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.
The anadius unlocker works like a charm as well
