I disabled Script Mods and still can't load into Main Menu
As the title says, I've been dealing with the game not booting up to the main menu for roughly a week. Updated the cc and script mods that are up to date while deleting the ones that haven't been updated at the time and still have the same issue. It's to the point that I'm gonna completely stop playing this game after all of these useless updates. The other thing that I did as well is repairing the game and deleting the cache files and the game still acts like trash. I'm ready to give up this dumpster fire of a "game" if nothing else help.Has anyone else noticed this about mod folder loading?
Disclaimer: This is all speculation! So take it all as a personal opinion and not fact. I'm not a developer; I'm just a player lol. Some (uneducated and informal) observations I've made while experimenting with my very modded game: 1. Build-Buy CC loading starts once you click the executable and ends when the Sims 4 logo opening screen appears. During this period, you can see the game gaining memory usage in Task Manager, but nothing will pop up on your screen until the game is done reading all your Build-Buy files. If you have more Build-Buy CC/a weaker computer, this period of nothing popping up will be significantly more noticeable. Vice Versa (Small Folder/Fast Computer = Almost Instantaneous/No Period of Nothing) 2. CAS CC loading starts once the "Sims 4" logo opening screen appears and ends once the loading screen (spinning plumbob) appears. If you have more CAS CC/a weaker computer, the logo will stay on your screen for longer. 3. Everything else starts loading when the loading screen pops up and ends when the main menu appears. Main Point: From my experience, Build-Buy CC takes longer to load than CAS CC**, even when the two share a similar amount of files/only low-mid poly creators are being used. My hypothesis is this difference in loading time is caused by the game loading the Build-Buy CC before the opening screen appears. I think the game's loading times (for modded users) would benefit from making Build-Buy CC load at the "Sims 4" opening screen, just like CAS CC. **This discrepancy is SIGNIFICANTLY more noticeable if you're someone who merges your CC. In my experience, merged CAS CC loads faster than unmerged CAS CC. However, merged Build-Buy CC loads slower than unmerged Build-Buy CC. I also think this difference is a product of the loading order. Has anyone else with a modded game noticed this? Do you agree with anything I said? Disagree? Any other things about the game you've noticed?
A New Update Checker for The Sims 4
I recently finished a small project called Mod Update Checker, or MUC. The goal is to make update notifications easier for both players and mod creators. Mods that support MUC provide their current version, which is then compared locally with a central public registry. If an update is available, the player receives a clear notification with the creator’s official update page. The list of currently compatible mods can be viewed here: http://muc-registry.demeterio.cc/registry/ MUC does not search through the Mods folder, send a list of installed mods, or download updates on the player’s behalf. It is also important to mention that MUC is not useful on its own. Players only need to install it when a mod creator has specifically added MUC support. I would be happy to hear any feedback, particularly from modders who are curious about the integration process or would like to test it with one of their projects.

Crin says: “It looks like the Windows Ransomware protection is blocking Sims 4 again (possibly cause more users were switch to memory boost). If you have any issues with mods not enabling, pop-ups showing up over and over, check if it blocks.” These are current symptoms: Can't enable mods/CC - the setting won't "stick" on game reloading Other changes in Options also reset All gallery items are a red X Create-a-Sim (CAS) mode gets stuck Game progress doesn't save For a how-to, see https://crinrict.com/blog/2020/10/add-exceptions-to-anti-virus-programs.html If you need further support on this, please go to [CURRENT ISSUE] Anti-Virus blocking User Folder (Screenshots/Gallery/Mods..) | EA Forums - 11778999
Are there any mods that let you change the keybindings for TS4?
I've played a lot of Rimworld so I'm used to things like Q and E being to rotate furniture, spacebar to pause, etc. I'd like to change the keybindings to something more intuitive for me. As I understand it, it's not possible to do this in vanilla TS4, so are there any mods out there that facilitate that? I can't use AutoHotKey as I'm actually playing using Wine on Linux (which works perfectly for me btw, had no problems including with installing mods and CC), but it does mean I don't have a Windows desktop on which I could use something like AHK. I suppose I could use Linux software to remap my keys for TS4 but that just sounds annoying compared to just installing a mod that adds a menu to the game.sims lot off grid despite not having the trait on
ive spent ages building a house and just started playing, but my house is stuck off the grid, i have no bills to pay and 100% dont have the trait selected, this is happening to every house in my world aswell as other worlds. i play on pc and do use mods/cc but ive never had this issue? i tried to move out the house and back in but i couldnt move back in and keep the lot so i cancelled it. i dont know what to do now i dont want to lose all my progress 😭😭😭
money cheats not working
My funds are not going up despite typing 'motherlode' etc. I have tried with and without testingcheats, and have uninstalled my mods. I do not know if it is a glitch in a residential rental, but i cannot add any money to my funds (even with UI cheats). Has anyone else had this issue?
Bed Autonomy
I've recently been watching YouTube videos of simmers playing Sims 2 and 3 and in one of them (I'm not sure which one.) sims don't make their beds when they get out of it. I really like this because for me it adds more realism to the game even if it's this small piece of realism. I have no idea how to mod and I've tried to learn but I'm not a fast learner so it just gets frustrating for me. Is there a mod out there that makes it so sims will not make the bed autonomously, and if not, is there a modder out there that's willing to make one?
