Installed patch. Now doing a game repair.
why a game repair if I may ask?
Just something I do after every patch now. 😀No official technical reason. I stole the idea from LiELF.
rujuta4me I started doing game repairs after I had a patch once that went wonky and it fixed it. So now I feel it's a necessary step to avoiding "false" bugs.
So if you ever load into your game after a patch and something seems off, do a game repair. The Sims is, and has always been, a very complicated game with a LOT of moving parts, moreso than other games because you can change or manipulate almost everything. So glitches and bugs are to be expected, but doing game repairs after any changes like patches and adding packs, can at least help ensure that the foundation files are as they should be.
But I'd recommend always removing your mods folder completely and deleting the localthumbcache file before doing any updates or downloading add-ons or doing repairs so that the game files can install more "cleanly". Then put them back in, but make sure all mods and CC are all updated first or they can create issues and game errors.
And of course, regularly back up your saves in case something unexpected happens. 😊
