It also tracks updated game mods, important updates to custom content, general news from/about creators, and new bugfix mods. -------------------------------------- FAILED TO LAUNCH ERROR: "Failed to Launch" message plain black screen on launch (no words) sometimes you can launch but are missing CC in CAS A patch for these specific issues was released March 23, 2026.

ABOUT THIS TOPIC This topic covers mods and CC broken before patch 1.122 (March 17, 2026) that don’t have an update available. Not every broken mod out there is listed here. 18+ mods are NOT included AT ALL. Some mods/CC listed here may not get updates announced. That's because they or their creators fall under some of the other reasons that mods aren't listed in the "Updated" thread. Unsupported and obsolete gameplay mods ARE included. Obsolete mods should be deleted just just you do with broken mods. Mods/CC are listed here based on testing by me or a trusted tester. If I list a mod/CC based only on player reports, I'll say so. For some items in the lists, symptoms are given. For a symptoms-focused resource, see the Mod and CC Common Issues and Known Causes master post. REMEMBER: You can’t rely only on other people, including on only me, to know what’s broken in your Mods folder. And you also can't rely only on mod managers and similar tools. All of these options can miss some broken content. Learn how to test your mods. INDEX Gameplay Mods: Selected known issues Gameplay Mods: General categories. For example, "all holiday traditions from before July 2024" Gameplay Mods: by creator. Scroll down, or skip ahead by creator name: A to D E to K L to M N to R S T to Z CAS CC.

Which platform? Mac Any mods or cc? Yes but script mods are removed and so is 95% of my CC (for debugging) Game Version? Up to date Description: I have been debugging for hours and managed to remove some “corrupted” save files and old mods. So I’m in the process of reintroducing everything and when adding back my CC, it sometimes launches & sometimes doesn’t, WITH NOTHING CHANGING. I have deleted the localtumb thingy multiple times, enabled & disabled mods (in game). I don’t understand why it sometimes launches? I just want to add all my CC & mods back 😭 (I have been doing this for 4+ hours) I’m also not even sure if those mod & save files were corrupted, as apparently my sims has a mind of its own when it does & doesn’t want to launch 🤷♀️35Views0likes2CommentsGood Omens Trait Mod Broken/Outdated
I've wanted to try this mod for so long but the new update has made it incompatible and the creator is no longer active :( I have the Better Exceptions report showing what the problem is, if any modders know how to make it work again please let me know. I don't know a single thing about modding so help would be appreciated.24Views0likes1CommentMy game freezes after giving birth/naming offspring
My sim was finally living the good life. High in her career, earning that bread and had been engaged. Close to solving the strangerville mystery she got abducted by aliens and was expecting Twins. She went into labour and at the hospital I named the twins and as I closed off the naming tab the game froze I waited for 5 minutes and nothing only her and the doctor appeared to be frozen while her fiance was stuck in a support loop. Everyone else in the hospital was also in a loop and I could not click anywhere only the three dots at the top to exit the game. I had saved when she went into labour so I thought nothing of it. Closed out, repaired the game, deleted cache and went back in. I got the same issue. 2nd try I took out pandasama child birth mod. Same issue I took out mcc and rpo same issue I even tried sending alone to hospital and the same thing I dont want to start the save all over again.💔8tf6zanrione1 day agoRising Newcomer23Views0likes1CommentEnabling Script Mods Breaks my Game
Recently, I thought about trying out script mods for the first time, so I downloaded 4 to test them out. I put them in mods folder. However, when I went to the options menu and enabled "script mods", my game started having issues: when I enter my saves, the game is stuck in worlds select mode and won't let me enter any lot, plus the weird glitchy blue box and other stuff in the left corner of my screen (see images). At first I thought I downloaded a broken script mod so I removed all script mods from the mods folder, yet still, same problem remained. The problem only stopped after I turned off the "script mods" option in the settings of the game. For the record, I do use cc (CAS and furniture), but I've never had issues with them and the game launches and works normally with them, this only happened when I enabled the script mods option, and goes away when I disable it. could the problem be in the cc, but they only break when script mods are enabled? I really want to use script mods, does anyone know how to solve this or the cause of the problem?99Views0likes3CommentsSims 4 Won't Load
I am trying to play Sims 4. I was playing it earlier today but exited out so it could update with the new packs I had purchased. Now, it won't go past the green spinning Plum-bomb after I click "Resume Game." If I open it through "Load Game," it takes me to the worlds screen but when I select a household, it stays on the green spinning Plum-bomb still. I have removed all my mods, uninstalled the EA app and reinstalled it, repaired the game many times, shut down and restarted my computer several times (Windows PC laptop) and now am reinstalling the game itself. Could it be one of the packs I purchased causing it to not work? It's beyond frustrating and I'm at a loss of what to do. 😭 I will update when it is finished installing if it is still not loading; I just wanted to post to try to find possible solutions while I wait forever for it to install.k_kretch19932 days agoSeasoned Rookie82Views0likes4CommentsSims excessively flirt with others (Patch 1.122.2.18)
I'm still experiencing an issue where Sims flirt with each other constantly, regardless of their relationship status. Even when Sims are already in commited relationships they will: autonomously flirt with other Sims accept or initiate romantic interactions with almost everyone And on top of that, there's also a jealousy issue: if another Sim flirts with my Sim's parnter, the partner gets jealous this happens even when the interaction is rejected This just kinda ruins my game because it completely breaks my relationship because Sims get upset over things they didn't even participate in. I'm aware there was already a report about this ("Sims excessively flirt with others") and it's supposed to be fixed. But in my game nothing has changed - the issue is still fully present.

Every time I try to change my Sims' clothes, I get to the page but nothing. All there is is the person and nothing else. I cannot change anything. The only way I can get off of it is to do an task manager shut down. I have restarted the game, even reloaded the entire game. (which caused me to lose all of my saved games) Is there anything I can do to fix this issue?STS0103 days agoSeasoned Newcomer115Views0likes7CommentsScript mods don't work
Please help me. I don't have any script mods working at all. When I start the game, there aren't any in the window at all. And this is only with script mods, mods for the clothes and furniture work. What I did: I updated each mod to the latest version and reinstalled, reinstalled the game, checked the options in sims for additional content and script mods, checked for conflicting mods, checked the game files and the mods folder. I tried to do any script mode in empty game but it still doesn't work86Views0likes2CommentsEA this has gotten out of hand.
I have barely been an owner/player of the sims for a year and i’m already considering being done with the Sims 4. Ever since the update to add marketplace my game will run FINE for one day MAX then all of sudden I have to delete CC for THREE DAYS STRAIGHT NOT EVEN JOKING before I can barely get a days worth of gameplay in. ITS RIDICULOUS CONSIDERING HOW MUCH OF MY MONEY I HAVE SPENT ON A UNPLAYABLE GAME. If you didn’t want people to add CC/MODS how about you make your base game not so LACKLUSTER and put in a little EFFORT. Good riddance EA after this I realized I am officially done.

I have been having this issue for awhile with my single sims, but I had just assumed it was a bug with the bed. Basically what happens is that when I have a sims couple, and I have them both go to bed, one will be able to sleep, and the other one will “get in bed,” not get under the sheets, and then immediately exit out the bed a few seconds later. I have tried batch fixing my cc, and I went and made sure I didn’t have the cuddle mod in my game. There isn’t any music playing, no objects in the way, and my sims couple has a maxed out friendship and romance bar. I have deleted my cc bed and tried a maxis bed and the same thing happens. Also, my cuddle interaction won’t work. I assume it’s because of the same reason my sims can’t sleep together. When I initiate the cuddle reaction, they act like they can’t access the bed. I’m not sure what else to do to fix this interaction. Pls help!BrileyMA5 days agoRising Newcomer61Views0likes1CommentCurrupt file
