I need to understand what happened, truly, that the new generation loves the boot so much. Like—EA didn't even need to do anything. You ruined the piracy of The Sims 4 all by yourselves.

Like, are people insane? You don't complain about free labour, if you are unhappy, you learn yourself how to do it better. You don't talk about piracy in the official social media of the thing you're pirating. Just because they haven't been caught doesn't mean they won't be, so you shut the fuck up and say thank you.

It's amazing how in the span of 6 months people managed to fuck up the updater, then the content creators, then the font of piracy altogether. Truly the devil works hard but TikTok works harder, fuck you all.

I am so tired of people on TikTok being dumb as fuck and entitled as all hell at the same time. What the fuck happened. We used to learn things for shits and giggles. There used to be a hacker in every classroom, they used to build viruses for fun, just because they could. We used to root smartphones to get around factory restrictions and properly customize our phones. Now people can't even move a file from one folder to the other without breaking shit, and then they complain about how the instructions weren't good enough. When you don't know something in the instructions, you RESEARCH IT SO YOU UNDERSTAND BEFORE FUCKING WITH IT. It's LITERALLY that simple.

"Oh but things are hard to find" well, push through the discomfort of not finding what you are looking for in the first result on Google, bitch, I don't know what else to tell you. I have learned so many surface things about computers just while trying to get free things, and I was never an expert in anything—I have literally watched for 15 years as my basic knowledge has become expert level because everyone around me decided to act like a donkey kicking buttons at random. It's ridiculous. I promise you learning gets easier as you do it. Please do it. Please learn. You guys have no curiosity for how things work anymore and that is literally ruining the community in the long run.

Anadius DLC Unlocker ⿻ ೀ ⠀ ៸ ¹¹/²¹/²⁰²⁵

Yeah... Anadius took everything down. If you just re-download the sims and wanna 🏴‍☠️ some dlcs, I recommend still using his DLC unlocker which thankfully still works (as of right now) because it'll come in handy when downloading the dlc files :) ! download ♡ :

Congratulations for incompetent overly sensitive morons in the sims 4 community who pushed Anadius to quit and now none of you will have free dlc and update anymore. (he was harassed because he was 'rude'). Now all of the people who vow that they will never support ea and will just pirate after the saudi and trump buyout will continue to suckle on the tits of EA and give them money because you lost an easy way to get sims for free and you guys cant help yourself

[sapphiccyranodebergerac]

are you sad anadius quit? GOOD! piracy is BAD

SO DO NOT under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES use the wayback machine to access previous versions of his stuff and pirate the sims. DONT DO IT!!!

if you need help not doing that pls comment, i myself figured out how to not do that (and am very bad at tech stuff so i understand if someone else needs help NOT doing that)

[aorticsims]

leaving this here because rip anadius ur a real one

edit: also https://mirror.anadius.cc/sims-4-updater for those who want an alternate method.

Sims 4 Updater

Program to automatically update your game to the newest version.

[jellypawss]

y'all were so rude to Anadius, like hello? And you wonder why they just straight up quit? Y'all would HARASS them if the pack was 10 minutes late to release. The amount of attitude they received daily for doing something for y'all for FREE wasn't even in comparison with how they snapped, y'all went for their throat DAILY and that's exhausting. Good fucking god, this community sometimes knows no shame or patience.

Okay, okay, so Anadius is gone (for now). I nearly shat myself because I hadn’t opened the game for at least 10 days, and I only opened it today to check if it still worked since I honestly couldn’t remember whether I’d used the Anadius updater or not. And obviously I didn’t try to open my main long-term save, just in case it got corrupted and when I opened Scenarios, of course the downloaded ones weren’t there…

BUT I still managed to get the latest version working.

Through some posts here and on Reddit I managed to recover the download drive for the updater and the DLCs via the Wayback Machine. YOU WILL NEED BOTH.

Even if the mod says it’s permanently closed, you can still launch the updater from the terminal and it works anyway!

Now, we know Anadius has already pulled a stunt like this before and then came back, so let’s hope this update works long enough until he returns (given that he’s practically worshipped like a god, I doubt he won’t come back), or that someone else takes his place. Because not everyone is able to pirate the files on their own, and saying ‘then just do it yourself’ is pretty simplistic and honestly a bit arrogant.

I have more than decent computer skills, I’ve been using it since I was 4, now I know HTML, I can use programs like Blender as a self-taught user but I don’t know jack shit about terminal commands or even more complex stuff.

I can, however, follow instructions when they’re provided for installing this kind of software.

(Please read and fully understand the meaning of this part, because apparently some of you had misunderstanding it.)

(Still, I have to say that quitting because ‘people keep asking stupid questions’ is kind of stupid in itself… I mean, I worked in a gelato shop for years, people always asked me the same questions even though they could’ve easily read the signs, and yet it never crossed my mind to shut down the gelateria because ‘customers keep asking the same stupid questions.’ The harassment reason makes much more sense, because the guy has a life outside the internet and didn’t immediately update the new DLCs.)

(“Yeah but Marcel, you can’t compare working in an ice cream shop to what he did!!1!1 he put himself at risk of jail by doing something illegal for trashpeople like you!!!1?1”

And that’s exactly the point: I was obliged to be polite and not walk every customer who asked absurd questions straight to the door. Instead, no one forced him, it was his own choice to put himself in potential danger (which, for the record, I actually support and admire, because I think EA is the real thief with the stuff they want us to pay for, just to be clear!) BUT precisely because you’re playing Robin Hood in this situation, you have a DUTY toward the people you’re helping. And disappearing and shutting everything down just because “ugh, you keep asking stupid questions” is honestly imo… stupid.

I’ll say it again: if the main reason of the ragequit had been the harassment, he would have had my full support. But the primary motivation seemed to be “you’re all stupid, I won’t keep doing this for you idiots” and in that case, no, I don’t agree)

In conclusion, by following these steps you should be able to keep using the updater until the next update breaks it, and hopefully a replacement will show up in the meantime who doesn’t want to steal our data.
