Helpful Guide from a Community Member
hi! i've written a (hopefully) helpful tutorial, but this only works for Windows:
0.) Download whichever DLC you want. It will be a zip
1.) Double click your .zip file of whichever DLC you want. DONT unzip it. Keep it open as a new window and put it to the side!
2.) Navigate to your "This PC" folder in your sidebar of the file explorer!
3.) Open your "Windows(C:)" folder
4.) From there, open your "Program Files" folder. Not the "Program Files (x86)", those are two separate things.
5.) Open your "EA Games" folder!
6.) Open your "The Sims 4" folder!
7.) Now that you've hopefully gotten to where you see Installer", "Data", "Delta", "Game", and "Support", go back to the DLC zip file you double clicked on (opened) and DRAG the DLC and Installer files DIRECTLY into your "The Sims 4" folder. A popup will come up that says 6 files have the same name, but it's alright. Click "Replace the files in the destination"!
8.) It's going to say "provide administrator permission to copy to this folder". Make sure "Do this for all current items" is checked (it should be next to a blue checkmark) and click Continue. It will copy all the files to the "The Sims 4" folder, giving you the DLC.
9.) Run your game and make sure everything works, and you should have said DLC!
i'm sorry if this is hard to follow, i remember a tutorial off of reddit but i can't find it at the moment, i hope this is helpful though :)

Hey!!!! the Business and Hobbies is missing the file to download it on the page. Is it somewhere else?
Heyy! So, i have a question. What should i do if i have an EA Games folder on My pc, but there is no "The Sims 4" folder on there?? (I am playing on windows, so that shouldnt be the problem T-T)
open your EA App, click on the sims 4 game and then on administration, click on characteristics and then a window pops up and then you see where your sims 4 folder for the dlcs is, you can open it and than you need to put the dlcs there
