Re: Game crashes with all updated mods - Mac - Big Sur last version

@Psychotpsthank you so much! I know that a mod needs to be updated to be good, but with Patreon modders, I'm more sure that they are keeping on the job. I'm also using the Sims studio app and the Sims mod assistant to check them, and apparently, as I said before, through Discord, mods are updated. I've done what they called the 50/50 job, which means isolate each mods folder to see if there're mods broken, and it seems good.

p.s. majority of the issues are gameplay scripts

@bbescapist

There are several modders I know of off-hand that insist of charging for mods that are total garbage. Turbodriver isn't one of them though. His stuff is usually very good.

Personally, if someone insists on charging for a mod and won't release it to the public, I NEVER use them. I'm more likely to trust them if they put it out for free. No ulterior motives there.

Scripts ARE far more likely to cause crashes as they mess with the core programming of the game. Personally all my dozen mods I've made are all tuning file mods and aren't very likely to even cause LE's, let alone crashes.

It would help to organize the mods in your mods folder by type. Keep CC in one place as they rarely cause LE's or crashes. Keep tuning and script mods in another location as they almost ALWAYS cause problems in updates.

If its been a while since you went through them, I would remove ALL your mods (not CC), and go through each one, one-by-one. Check with that website I posted to see if any are known for problems.

If you have a mod that isn't showing as having been updated in a while, it may have been abandoned, and I'd remove it for good. Find a replacement. Good thing about Sims 4 modders, there are MANY and most things have several different mods doing the same thing. A lot of the better ones are usually picked up by someone else and may be updated somewhere else. Ask about those in that forum I posted. Someone will answer.

The problem with LE's is most of the time, it doesn't tell you what mod is breaking. Just what broke. It's like trying to figure out who set a fire by looking at the smoke rising. Can't be done. It can point you in the right direction though. Since the LE mainly references Vacuums it's likely to be a mod that changes that... but could be a lot of things.

If you have a bad mod, you'll just have to do without it.  It's sad but it happens. There was a mod called "San MyShuno: Become Human" that I REALLY liked. But it was abandoned by the author. I offered to take over support of the mod, but she declined and was never heard from again. I had to remove it and haven't used it since. Bummer.

@PsychotpsOk, this morning I've been in touch with Apple to see if maybe there's an error on my Mac. I initialized the Mac, then install again Mac OS Big Sur, but I'm having the same issue and I added here the screenshot of it. 

since it's been a year that I'm having the same issue, I've tried all. The game works without mods, the main problem are some scripts of some mods but I don't know which ones.

@bbescapist

Well, that's it then. If it works without mods, then it's a mod problem and not an OS problem.

I realize it's a royal pain to go through them all, especially if you have a lot of them, but it's just something you'll have to tough it through.

Use the 50/50 method. Remove half your mods, create a new world and play for a while and see if it crashes. If it still crashes, then put that half back in and remove the other half and try it again. Keep doing it and narrowing it down until you figure out which mod is crashing.

😉 Once you figure it out, post it somewhere and let everyone know which mod is broken. You'll be a hero.

I found through BE that some mods aren't working at the moment... 

@bbescapistThat doesn't mean much. It doesn't mean those are broken, it just means those mods weren't SPECIFICALLY designed for the new patch. (Since the patch JUST came out, it will be ANY mod you haven't updated in the last 48 hours)

I have 12 mods on MTS, and all of them but ONE will show up on that list. It doesn't mean they're broken. It doesn't mean anything really.

You might be able to limit your efforts to testing just those... But I wouldn't count on it. It doesn't even show script mods.
