Cleared by Creator for This Patch

Cleared content (mods declared compatible with the game update) is listed by creator. Not all creators clear their mods, especially not for smaller patches. Clearing of mods does NOT guarantee that they work: a creator may have missed an issue.

Recent Creator News

• The Sims modding community is sad to have learned that Sims 3 and 4 creator CmarNYC passed away in October 2023. For 15 years, Simmers benefited from Cmar’s long-honed computing skills as she created much-loved modders’ and players’ tools, including the Sims 3 and 4 MorphMakers and Skininators, the TS4 SimRipper, the Sims 3 XCAS core mod, and many CAS sliders. She was also a contributor to S4PE, which likely was used by creators you rely on. Without Cmar’s work, the Sims franchise would have had a much less rich array of mods and custom content. She will be greatly missed.
• LittleMsSam’s adopted-mod updates that were previously linked from the comments on Mod the Sims are now hosted on CF with post names beginning “Other Mods”. On CF, LittleMsSam’s updates of Scumbumbo mods are on the account ScumbumboCF.

Obsolete

• Drink Keg Juice and Play Juice Pong custom Club activities – Rex/kokansock – obsolete for players who are okay with using Pub Activities as a more general Club activity; these have been added there now

WARNING: MSQSims Mods

Although MSQSims herself cleared both Cheat Menu mods for 1.104 and did NOT update them, someone uploaded the same malicious code as previously reported about here to her The Sims Resource mod page, this time with an MSQSims file name.

Do not download any MSQSims mods until this is resolved, because other mods may also have been reupdated with malicious files. Delete all recent MSQSims script mods (mods that include a .ts4script file), even if she herself updated them or cleared them, and run a virus scan. The Curseforge Github fix should be usable for this version as well.

(Mac users: The .exe included in the malicious mod will not run on a Mac, but you may get an LE.)

NOTE: Updated and cleared mod news will now be delayed.

When mod news returns in full, it will likely be with some change in features.
