@flauschtrud I sympathize. I play a game on my Laptop called Stellaris. I can’t play that game without mods, and I’ve been there with an unplayable game when it gets updated. I know what it feels like to have broken mods in a game you love.
Thank you, but it's definitely not the mods at this point. I only use quite small and specific gameplay mods and they have been fine so far. But what makes the game unplayable for me right now is the fact that the aging is still wrong even on backup saves (probably due to the new lifespans) and my Sims have totally wrong ages and some age up and die. I know I could partially "fix" this with cheats but since I'm also a perfectionist this just does not feel right. And my Sim currently has a relationship with the pub owner in Henford-on-Bagley, but because of the NPC bug he does not work at the pub anymore... :(
But I'm happy that your console experience has been fine so far. And yes, I agree that a lot of things that modders add or fix should be part of the vanilla game.
But I also have to say that this patch is the worst that I ever had. I was always excited for patch day and to get new stuff, but will now forever have a "Fear of patched game" trait...
@flauschtrud I’m in a situation where the initial update was fine and didn’t break my game.
I did notice that my settings were changed from a long lifespan to a normal one, and I have aging turned off.
A couple days after the update, they must’ve sent out a patch that got downloaded because my save is starting to break down, and I’m looking at rebuilding my save in a new save.
My point with the part you quoted was that the mods could be the source of the problem and it takes time for them to get updated.
The game I mentioned, Stellaris. The developers warn the modders in advance to give them time to update their mods before releasing a major update.
The problem with aging is likely a problem that comes from the mods.
The game was playable with aging turned off and a normal life span. It seems that most of the bugs do come from outdated mods and CC and that’s normal when it comes to using mods.
Currently, I don’t know what the state of my game is. I haven’t been able to access my game for a couple days.
I have been watching the development of things in the forums, and I know that mods and cc have been the source of most bugs everyone is experiencing.
In one thread, @Brd709 removed a mod, I think it was MC and it fixed the problem.
There is Custom Content, CC, that also caused some problems. I think it was a makeup mod.
So, even if you use a small number of mods, it just takes one to be outdated.
