Cleared by Creator for This Patch

NEW: Because of previous issues with "cleared" mods and general trends in mod clearning, this list is now more selective. The date the content was cleared is also now included for most modders. I’ll make an effort to update to add “non-updated mods” as needed.

NOTE: A creator not being listed here does not make it okay to go ask if they’ve cleared their mods yet. Some creators simply don’t do mod clearing announcements, and others need time to investigate or have no time available. Mod clearing has also never been a guarantee that mods aren't broken. Instead of annoying creators, back up your Saves folder and learn how to check for broken content.

Ongoing Reports

To keep up with reports on outdated and updated gameplay mods, CAS and Build/Buy custom content mods, new bugfix mods, and related Sims 4 tools — not just catch up when your game won't behave or you're returning to Sims 4 after a long break — you can subscribe to this thread. The top posts will be regularly updated with the more critical reports, but not all reports will appear there.

As noted in the top post, not all mods and creators are covered here. In the end, your use of mods is your responsibility.

Ongoing reports begin here.

Feb. 27

 

Broken Mods

NOTE: Because an issue that many modders updated for after an earlier patch is now fixed at EA’s end, many mods will throw (mostly harmless) LEs and need updating. Expect a lot of mod updates and hotfixes. A second issue: A new UI feature means some (not all) UI mods are broken.

• Deaderpool – MC Command Center – LE that does not affect gameplay
• Dskecht – all mods

 

Obsolete Mods

These are no longer needed due to changes made in the patch, and they should be removed. Patch notes are at https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/A-Most-Sparkling-Update/m-p/13490554

• Bienchen – grableftoverfix
• Rex/konansock/konanhurry – Owned Business Fix
• SimplifiedModding – Food Autonomy Overhaul (Stop Eating My Ingredients!)
• thunder1143
  • Get Famous NPC Generation Fix
  • [HCHSP] Fireproof Home Chef Hustle Appliances – unless you want zero chance, not a better, lower chance than “lots and lots”
• Seijan – Goth Galore Kit female hoodie fix (SP48HoodieStraps_Fix)
