EA Staff@kreatora & @burin077 , that is my only worry about this pack … replayability once you solve the mystery. I stated this in another post (I thought it was this one, but it isn't) 🤭 But since they mixed up the puzzles in JA, not to mention certain parts of the jungle are blocked off each time you visit, they I have hope that they did something similar with the StrangerVille pack too! 🤞
Like you guys, I also want the new hairstyles, building items, World, outfits, etc. that this pack will offer. (I love that female braided hairstyle!) Not to mention I heard that the Military Career will now be a thing in the game, as well as a new Aspiration! 😎
@stbnchristine, I sympathize with you over the patch and Mods conflict! 😢 This is one of the reasons I don't play with Mods anymore! I'm too lazy to upkeep with it all, and waiting until Modders recalibrate things is not my idea of fun. But many others find the wait and trouble worth it. Hopefully you won't have to wait too long! 🤞
Thanks for the sympathy @PugLove888
I did the update cause I just had to play my new favorite save. It looks like good news for the mod community. MCCC has an immediate update as well as several others. My game appears to be playing correctly with no major crashes or LEs.
For those of you who are interested... it was not enough to have auto updates turned off on Origin for this required update. However it was suggested to launch in offline mode to avoid being forced to update until you are ready. This makes sense but I had already updated. Will try it next time. If anyone tries it now please let us know if it works or not.
@stbnchristine, I'm happy that no problems happened in your game after your updated, and one of the biggest Mods was already updated! :eahigh_file: And at least you have options for next time there is a patch! I'm sure many others will be thankful for your tips! 😇
Hi @stbnchristine - I always wait a couple of days before updating to any patches; it's mainly out of habit - I like to watch the forums for a couple of days to see what broke first 😃 Like @PugLove888 I don't use any mods or cc in my game, so that's not a concern, but I like to make a copy of my TS4 folder first just in case. The way I avoid installing patches is to launch in offline mode. Since you asked if it works, I wanted to let you know that it does.
Very glad to hear you were able to play right away, even though you were forced to update. Happy Simming!
Thanks @BlackjackWidow for the confirmation. What I was upset about is that I wanted to wait a couple of days but Origin forced me to update. I only wish someone could have told me to try offline before I did the update. Lol but hey I was impatient and wanted to see my sims!!! Luckily I wasn’t grounded by a full crash.
