You will need to download
the Updated Modding
Tools for Windows each
time a new file has been
released. This is to ensure
that the new file can be
activated properly.
Click on Required Files.
We have broken down the required
files into different categories
instead of one full download.
Explore - EP
Galaxy - GP

same ID numbers
associated with each
category.

Individually
extract your downloads
Your downloads will be zipped. You
will need to extract them.
Right click and select extract.
It does not matter where just as long
as you know where you extracted it
to. Safe bet is to just extract to your
downloads or desktop.
unpack your folder completely
Move the Modding Tools for
Windows to your desktop. This will
stay here.
Repeat the above steps to extract
the required files and drop the
folder on your desktop.
If you download individual files
please create a folder on your
desktop to drop them into so they
are not loose
Example: Explore01 is an individual
required folder that was
downloaded.
Open Explore01 to find the EP01
folder.
Drag EP01 into the folder you made.
Where to put my Required files folders after I

Path for EA or Steam
If you download, open and run the open The Sims 4 [Link] file it will automatically
open the correct game folder to drop your Required Files
If the above action does not work you can use the following 2 default pathways to locate your
game folder.
EA OPTION
EA Path : If you downloaded through EA app alone you will find the “The Sims 4” folder
here:
Default option
-C:\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 4

The above file locations will lead you to a folder that will look SIMILAR but not exactly to
