STEP 3 - YOUR SIMS 4 installation folder
Probably you already installed the Sims 4 on your computer, either via genuine Origin, Games4TheWorld, Fitgirl or other sources. Such installations made an entry in the computer's registry.
In ZLOrigin you can determine the folder for your Sims 4 game:
IMPORTANT:
ZLOrigin will only use this newly chosen location for new installations. If a previous installation was done in f.e. Program Files (x86)\My Games, the ZLOrigin will continue using that folder.
My advice: Delete ALL previous installations of the Sims 4 with f.e. Revo Uninstaller (free). including installations performed by the real Origin. By doing that you are 100% sure that ZLOrigin will install in your newly chosen directory.
You can also simply remove the old registry-entry:
In ZLOrigin you can determine the folder for your Sims 4 game:
- Open ZLOrigin
- In the left top corner click on the word Origin
- Click on Application settings -> Advanced
- The first item you'll see is a window where you can type (or search) your Sims 4 installation folder.
- Should you want to ue the location C:\Program Files (x86) then do so (don't add The Sims 4 as that will be done automatically). Don't use folders named Origin, Origin Games, Electronic Arts.
- You can use any other location incl. folders on external drives.

ZLOrigin will only use this newly chosen location for new installations. If a previous installation was done in f.e. Program Files (x86)\My Games, the ZLOrigin will continue using that folder.

Can I access the Gallery ?
Cannot change details in Zclient Zclient constantly shows Disconnected Can I still play this new version AND my games from G4TW ? |
No you can't as you can't play online. You need at least the genuine base game for that.
Go to the downloaded folder of Zclient. Remove everything except Zclient.exe. Now run ZClient again and you will have blank spaces for MAIL en Pass. Enter the details of your Zloemu accont (Not your Origin account) You have entered the wrong details. You must insert the MAIL and Pass of your Zloemu account, not your Origin account, or Cloud is not set to Mailru Zclient will stay active until you actually close it. Your anti-virus has disabled ZClient and login fails on updating Zclient. Yes, you can, look HERE When you want to play the G4TW games, make sure Origin and/or ZLOrigin are closed. Also both versions use the same gameprogression file in Documents so you will encounter GameVersions problems.. |
