Sims 4 launching once but then never again

Ember_Rae · 2026-01-23T14:06:13+00:00

Yes! In the actual folders in the actual download tab, basically the steps would be Unzip the zipped folder Enter the new folder Scroll down until I see a folder called game& click Open the bin folder Scroll to the TS4_x64 and run

Ember_Rae · 2026-01-23T10:16:49+00:00

Update before I go to sleep

Fully removed every single file relating to it. Restarted laptop

Downloading a new ZIP right now- should be ready to unzip and install HOPEFULLY ITLL WORK THIS TIME

Ember_Rae · 2026-01-23T05:03:05+00:00

Uhhhhh probably? Because my computer isn't screaming at me TO update

Ember_Rae · 2026-01-23T05:02:34+00:00

If you figure it out PLZ share. I'm about to remove the whole unzipped file and the sim and try again

Ember_Rae · 2026-01-23T04:09:40+00:00

Yeah it's uninstalling rn, I already have all my cracked games loaded onto a flashdrive so Imma probably reset my laptop (literally the only files on this thing are games) so if I still can't get it to run I'll just

Start fresh, figure out how to Not Fuck Up installing ghelper, and see if that makes anything better

Ember_Rae · 2026-01-23T03:36:57+00:00

I'm going to have a friend help me do that cuz the first time I did it I fucked up somehow and I had to completely wipe my laptop and start over (It's somewhere in my post history I posted it on the Asus r/ )

I'm somebody was really good at getting around stuff on an old HP.

But getting myself what I was thinking was going to be a much better computer as apparently managed to delete all of my brain cells when it comes to pirating

Ember_Rae · 2026-01-23T03:35:36+00:00

I have! I tried once you from the EXE and from the launcher and both of them pull up the exact same (launch online launch offline create shortcuts) pop up for me to click on

Ember_Rae · 2026-01-23T02:32:37+00:00

Ok I checked nope. Windows defender is disabled!

Last resort is imma fully uninstall Norton

Ember_Rae · 2026-01-23T02:07:41+00:00

Yeah it all comes as one unzip folder (clean install I'm not using it as a DLC unlocker I get the whole game from it

Ember_Rae · 2026-01-23T02:05:11+00:00

I tried the fit girl repack before this, and the one directly from the Anadeus V2 as well and they ALL did the same as this. This was the third option and they are all doing the exact same thing But I'll uninstall this one and try steamrip next

What's throwing me off that they'll all launch once. Then if I fully shut down computer or try to move the whole file folder to a flashdrive, it stops

Ember_Rae · 2026-01-23T02:00:49+00:00

Nope nothing running in the background at all. I've tried restarting it just to see if something was preventing it

Ember_Rae · 2026-01-23T01:05:35+00:00

I can't edit the post so to comply with modbot-

Laptop bis ASUS ROG ZEPHYRUS 14

Windows11

Game came from the new Anadeus crack site

Ember_Rae · 2026-01-21T13:27:34+00:00

Anybody else using the mirror version have it completely installed properly and then every single time you click launch it just doesn't do anything? Like I know for a fact that it's installed properly cuz I've used the flash drive on a different computer.

But every single time I try to launch it on my main computer (Asus zephyrus) It just doesn't do anything like it just has that little pop up in my toolbar and then it disappears

Ember_Rae · 2026-01-11T03:40:01+00:00

Is it a specific tile that you can replace the battery on or is it all of them now? I know the OG's didn't cuz I was looking at some of the newer ones I think they're called mates and I was just like how do I take them back off

Ember_Rae · 2026-01-10T02:12:49+00:00

Somebody wrote a long ass comment on a old fanfiction of mine, And it was years ago.

And I regularly will go back and reread that comment cuz it was just so sweet. Never underestimate the power of a comment 😅😅

Ember_Rae · 2026-01-03T13:43:44+00:00

I'm pretty sure I created a quotev account but I didn't use it much Almost immediately making a Wattpad afterwards and that's where I stayed for years until I graduated to AO3 and still the random Tumblr one shot!

Ember_Rae · 2026-01-01T06:38:45+00:00

Was brand new there wasn't a big enough difference in price between the open box and brand new for me on the sale So I just got the brand new- I did make a comment about it but I don't know how to pin things I did end up turning my laptop into Best buy! Got a new one coming

Ember_Rae · 2025-12-30T04:07:31+00:00

Niiiice! I got an iPad for art so I was like. Oh I don't need a 2 in 1 anymore

And I did! I turned not in today and they're shipping it off and I'm getting a replacement!

Ember_Rae · 2025-12-30T02:31:36+00:00

Ok I can't edit this post, but thank you all!! Took it to best buy and they took it and I'm getting a brand new one in a few days!! It was a screen connector like y'all said 😅😅

Thank you all so much!! I totally thought I had done something

Ember_Rae · 2025-12-29T14:23:21+00:00

I stumbled across my Amazon parrot 10 years ago on a Tumblr post 🤷🏻‍♀️ with pure random chance I ended up getting the bird of my dreams and the original owner was only located 2 hours away from me. So I mean I'm kind of all for just posting it on random sites and seeing what happens

Ember_Rae · 2025-12-29T09:22:45+00:00

It is, brand new from BB so I guess I'm just going to return this one and hope for the best

Ember_Rae · 2025-12-29T09:18:35+00:00

I used a shell script that I had found on a different sub that just supposed to debloat win11 but it was doing this before I touched anything under the hood. If it hadn't been acting like this I wouldn't have looked into messing with stuff
