This is because all of those are tied to your Origin account.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE ON THE DLC AND GAME PACKS:Īll of the Game Packs and DLC content that comes with our version of the game (and all of the TS3 rewards) are only accessible in the Offline mode. If this username is showing, then you won't be able to connect to the Gallery, but you will have all of the DLC (including the Holiday Celebration Pack, the Outdoor Retreat Game Pack and TS3 rewards) that come with our release. In other words, you aren't logged into Origin, or it's closed. If you have this same username ( RLD!), it means that you are Offline in the crack. Notice the username at the top right of the image.
I downloaded some content to show you that they will stay in your Library even if you log off.
This also means that you can access all of the content you save if you go Offline in the crack again, by closing Origin in the background. We still don't know how the files inside this folder work, and it seems that there are several for each content you download, so your best bet is backing up all of it. All of the content you add to your Library will be saved as files in the C:\Users\\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Tray folder, so if you want to backup all that you have downloaded you should be able to do that by copying the complete folder to another location. Now you can save Households, Sims, Lots and Rooms to your Library. This seems to fix the issue for some users that got it. Then, close the Demo and open The Sims 4. Open the CAS Demo, and get in the Gallery there.
If you get a 'Could not Connect' error, something you can try is this: download the Create-a-Sim Demo from Origin, using the account that you are using to connect to the Gallery. If it's your username at the top right, then click "Connect", let it load for a few seconds and you will be successfully connected to the Gallery. You need to make sure Origin is running on the background. If it's showing RLD! instead, it doesn't matter how much you wait after clicking "Connect", the Gallery will never load. Now, check that at your username is located at the top right. Go to the 'Community' tab and you should see this: If you are getting the "You are Offline" banner, open the Gallery by clicking on the icon at the top right of the screen, or by pressing F4 on your keyboard. Here, you can enable or disable the Online Notifications or the Auto-Reconnect too. As a personal recommendation, you may want to uncheck the Share User Data. To enable it, open the Game Options in the menu and enter the Other tab. If you do get one of these two, it probably means that you left Origin in Offline mode, or that Online Access is disabled in the game options. Otherwise, you'll see the usual "You are Offline" message, or it will be blank. If you don't have it, you can download it from here:Īfter you log in to your Origin account and leave Origin running in the background, you should see this (or some other variations) at the banner in the bottom of the Start Screen if you are properly Online: But it has some aspects that should be considered about it, so in this guide I'll try to explain them as best as I can.
We just wanted to let you know that you indeed can connect to the Gallery in the Games4theworld release of the game, at least for the moment. You can still get content from other sources different from the Gallery, following this other Guide here: These downloads' files are found in the Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Tray folder, if you want to back it up just in case. All of the content that you had previously downloaded will still be available in 'My Library' and will not be deleted. If you close Origin, then the game will open normally but without any Online functionality. Thanks to this, the Gallery cannot be accessed anymore from our version of The Sims 4.
Origin's latest patch blocks the game if it is open in the background. ANNOUNCEMENT: This Guide is obsolete now.
