The Patch is OUT!
We have a TON of helpful Simmers here but take the time to read before posting/commenting.
NOTE FOR NEWBIES: You cannot simply replace the mod file with the same file for a fix. If it needs to be updated, you must wait for the updated version. Once available, remove the old one, delete cache and repair game.
What's causing this⁉️ 🧐 🔍
As with every EA update, mods and cc are going to break. Please give mod creators time to check and clear/update their mods.
Take the time to learn how to fix your game. "What's causing this" posts will be removed. Use the troubleshooting megathread. This thread can help you sort out which mods are broken so you can take them out but simmers cannot fix anything for you, you will need to wait for updates.
Simmers, please check the troubleshooting thread to help out others.
If your post is removed, read the pinned automod comment for help or what to do if it was removed incorrectly.
NEW: Frequently Posted Issues thread here -- this thread was previously a part of the troubleshooting thread but it took a lot of space so it was separated.
The subreddit tends to get an influx of I hate these updates, be nice to mod creators or meme posts after a patch. Double check to see if one has already been posted. Do not derail those posts by asking for troubleshooting help.
IS THIS BROKEN? IS THIS UPDATED? 💔💻
Follow your favorite creators to keep track of updates: discord, twitter, bluesky, patreon (free), Lumpinou's modhound or see mod lists below. Any of these posts will be removed.
DO NOT ASSUME A MOD IS FINE IF THERE IS NO STATUS UPDATE.
Support channels in SimsAfterDark and DeaderPool’s discords often CLOSE post-patch for a short period of time as there are no solutions but to wait for mods to update and they get flooded with help questions just like all the sims subreddits including ours. However, they have mod status channels so you can get mod status updates.
Remember, even mods that never everrrrrrrrrr break or CC can cause issues. UI can be broken even if the mod(s) are not UI-related. These patches can break anything.
Troubleshooting Thread Here
REMINDER: When posting in the megathread, do not say "I've tried everything" as that means something different to every simmer, be specific. Read the post, follow the instructions and leave a comment if you still need help. Failure to provide details may result in no response to your comment. 👩💻
Game bug or mod⁉️⁉️ Take out your mod folder (and leave it out for the test) delete cache and repair then check to find out then you'll have your answer. DO NOT SAVE YOUR CURRENT GAME WITHOUT YOUR MODS.
