this is a registred software do you have the permission to use it since it is a copy .

 

[amardipmarway89]

Correct, I do indeed, however I have updated to the new version of the Sim, following the update I am unable to install hence why I found a solution online (creating this .bat file) to override the installation issue I am having.

 

[scout_03]

the sim is legit so you should not have to use any outside bat.files .

 

[amardipmarway89]

I am not trying to install the Sim, I am trying to install an ADDON for it which I have also paid for.

 

[scout_03]

did you try the comunity forum to see if someone did encouter this and have a solve it .https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc?setLocale=en-us

Run it from the command line as administrator.

@evongugg

How do I run it from the command line as admin?

 

[evongugg]

Click Start button, type cmd, right click "run as administrator", navigate to the directory with "cd", then run from the directory, like good old DOS. Or place the file in the directory where it defaults to.

I looked it up (very quickly) and it appears to be a "fix for water textures" or something like that.

Wherever you copied the batch file from has it wrong. There are multiple extra spaces in the batch file which cause errors. For example, the following line:
Set / p choice="Your choice:"
will not work because of the space after the / and before the p.
The line should be:
Set /p choice="Your choice:"
which works.

I can't tell you all of the extra spaces in the batch. It would be better to find a better source for the batch. I think I found one (below).

I can't tell you the outcome of the batch file as I do not have the software. It's up to you if you want to trust it or not.

IF this is the same batch (and I have not verified that) then you might want to use this copy of the batch instead: https://pastebin.com/N2aKtkEd
Notice line 15 has the spacing correct. Copy it to the clipboard, paste it into Notepad and save it as Fix.bat then run it (if you trust it).
