The Sims 4 - Island Living G4TW Repack, OUT NOW!! [Version 1.52.100.1020]

First topic message reminder :

Peoples of G4TW!

Island Living's G4TW repack is here!! I would suggest you take the time now to read this introduction. Now, it took us a bit longer because I myself have been waiting for ZLOrigin; due to super-slow speeds at the time I decided to abandon the download, and use something else. No hate on ZLOrigin please, they are doing a very important job, and they will be relevant for some time to come. Instead I decided to base this G4TW repack on original (a.k.a. legit) Origin-files, courtesy of @Freezer Bunny! Now let's hope I did not mess up anything...  We also came up with a direct download solution this time, which users from "Western Liberal Democracies (TM)" suffering from ISP surveillance (America, UK, Germany, France, et cetera) might be able to benefit from.

You can apply this thing directly on top of Strangerville, or the 1.51.77.1020 patch. The download includes the Island Living DLC and the Pride Update too. It is 7.64GB in filesize, contains all 17 language strings (courtesy of @anadius    ), and a complete "Game"-folder as well.

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.

I think I said everything I wanted to say for the moment. Stay safe, and good luck!



 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 NordVPN, Windscribe, VPN.ac, Perfect Privacy or ProtonVPN. Alternatively, use one of the direct download options below)




 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  

(people using ZLOrigin can use this to bypass the ZClient log-in)

The thing is I've an issue with Islandliving; I downloaded it and installed it following the guide as always, but as I turned it on it did this...
Do you happen to know why? Yesterday I turned on the game and it worked fine.. 

Ok, turns out that by deleting the "Options" file from C:\Users\gggiu\OneDrive\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 the issue got fixed because the game went back to full screen. But as I put it into windowed mode the issue arises again. Do you think it can be a problem of resolution? 

I downloaded the game but have a problem with it. When in create a sim there are some ''closed'' stuff and weird images for example arrows and crosses between options where you choose if sims are fit or not

My sims skintone not compatible with the mermaid tail in this new update... please helppppp

I believe that is something "intended", or it could be a glitch. I'll tag @grieralexander, maybe he'll be able to shed more light on this issue.

You have to have ALL DLCs and updates up to Strangerville installed, before you can apply this thing.  

So yes, you don't necessarily have to have the 1.51.77.1020 patch installed.

So if I don't have my game updated (I don't remember the latest thing I installed, I guess it was the EP before this one), I should also download the patch you mentioned?

Well, what do you have installed? Or rather, what is the patch version of your current game? If you already have the "Strangerville" gamepack installed, you can skip that 1.51.77.1020 patch. 

A.k.a. you can go straight to Island Living, if you already have Strangerville installed.

Nope, I said I don't have it. The latest one I guess it was Get Famous 

@Dia wrote:Nope, I said I don't have it. The latest one I guess it was Get Famous 

Ah, sorry. 

Well, you then have to install => Udpate 1.49.65.1020 => Strangerville => Island Living.

And if I don't want Strangerville? I can just install the latest patch?

Question, I have version 1.50.67.1020. The last thing I downloaded was strangervile. Can I just put island living on top of the version I have now?

@Dia wrote:And if I don't want Strangerville? I can just install the latest patch?

Why do so many people not want Strangerville?? 

You can bypass Strangerville if you don't like it. Use the stuff from @anadius here:
https://www.games4theworld.club/t33925-the-sims-4-v1-52-100-1020-all-dlcs-selectable-17-languages-anadius-repack-download-only-what-you-need

Download the 1.51.100.1020.xbin-files (there are two of them), the "setup.exe", the no-origin-fix, and the file ep07-island living. Put all the stuff in one folder, run the setup.exe, choose your install directory of The Sims 4, choose to install the EP07 (Island Living) and the 1.52. patch, and off you go. Should be easy enough to understand.

Hope that helps!

Yes. 

When compiling this thing, I made sure to copy these new files "over" the stuff from the 1.51.77.1020 patch. So the resulting bunch of files (= this download right here), can be applied directly after Strangerville.  

Hi guys!
First of all, thank you for great work!
I have never had an issue with applying updates but after updating to island living i have an issue - it seems that i don't have some components. i can't show you an error message because it's in polish but in conclusion it says that i need origin account or some components are missing. should i re-install everything?

Can you copy/paste the message here, so that I can at least try running this through a translator?   Or maybe someone else who can speak Polish might be able to help out. 

I mean, you could always try doing a "Force re-check" in your torrent client first, during which the download will be "checked", and any damaged parts will be re-downloaded. And then you can re-copy and re-paste the update files, over your The Sims 4 installation.

I see that you are using the more columns in CAS mod, which has been updated for Island Living. Try to update your More CAS Columns Mod and see if that works.

Welcome to the Forum first of all,

There is a magnet link in the opening post here (the very first message of this thread here, maybe you overlooked it...?), and also a GoogleDrive direct-download. Please re-read the opening announcement:
https://www.games4theworld.club/t35164-the-sims-4-island-living-g4tw-repack-out-now-version-1-52-100-1020

The stuff in the opening announcement here is "just" the Island Living-update.

Yes, this is an issue with the new EP, some skin tones will not work with the mermadic form and to add more some stopped working for vampires dark form also. EA has not considered this a glitch, since it happens with CC, so it will be up to the modders to update their skins, acoording to them. Sorry, I could not be more help, because for some of the glitches people have found a work around, but not for the skins.

Haha. It's just I don't have so much space on my hard drive. I need to choose what to put in it, what I really like and want. 
Anyway, I'll try what you said, thank you. 

Thank you. I found the link but its just taking me to a page that ask me to download some other things. Im not sure why it usually works just fine.

The opening announcement links to a tutorial, which gives instructions on how to navigate these adverts. And when you are prompted to "download something", you are doing something wrong. You should not have to download anything, at all.

If you don't trust these sites, and that is completely up to you, then don't download from G4TW.

good night

do I have to install TS4_Update_1-51-77-1020 and then install the sims 4 isnland living?

I have installed up to The Sims 4 - Strangerville

Thank you  

Hi everybody.

I downloaded the game yesterday and I started playing today, but I'm having a problem.  As  I play my game, it would crash.  It has crashed twice already and this has never happened to me before.  I don't know what's going on.

Hey, I'm back, and I'm sad. I can't copy the zip folder in my drive to download it. Said there was an error. Do you have a solution for this ?

No, you don't need to install the Update 1.51.77.1020. Just go straight away to Island Living and you should be fine.

I'm not assuming you use any mods, so...feel free to try the general crash-troublshooting. If that doesn't work, feel free to open a separate topic under the Sims 4 Support-section, for more in-depth help. It could be that something in your installation "got busted".

Are you positive that you have sufficient free space on your GoogleDrive, before "making a copy"? Keep in mind that this item is nearly 8GB big, and if your GoogleDrive does not have that much free space, making a copy simply won't work.

If you are positive that you have so much free space and it still does not work...copy the URL (the original download link of the item, found on the Googledrive landing-page), and paste/save it somewhere for later. For example in a notepad .txt file or something similar. You should then try making a copy at a later point again.

I managed to dowload the files using another google account. It probably was because I didn't have enough space
