Friendly reminder that EA is not at all responsible for the mods that you put into your game. Expect monthly patches to break them and take measures to avoid patches if you want to wait for mod creators to update. I'm only mentioning this since I saw one angry person on this forum blaming EA for their mods.
Given that apparently they've made a change so fundamental that it's broken tons of mods if one doesn't own all the packs, I don't know if that's totally out of line this time. Yeah, EA disavows responsibility for mods... which would be reasonable if EA also didn't rely so heavily on the modding community to fix the bugs they evidently can't be bothered to address.
It seems that this patch may be the breaking point for many of us for many reasons.
Yes, patches almost always break more than they fix and a lot of us rely on mods to fix these bugs when possible. As someone who uses mods, I still don't feel they need to tip toe to avoid breaking mods.
agree to disagree

Ordinarily, I would agree with you... but a change that impacts mods if players don't own all the packs, on top of the "bouncing shopping cart" trying to get us to buy all the packs just strikes a sour note with me. I don't think it's actually a sinister plot... just an unfortunate confluence of circumstances... but I do think, in this instance, it's a bit too much all at once.
As you say, agree to disagree.

My ui where the cart would be is all overlapping, and not exactly easy to navigate.
https://i.imgur.com/MJWcNub.jpg Have yet to see the shopping cart, but hard to play this way.
Last week I finally got the game to load with no last exceptions. Yesterday test running it, I only get last exceptions, even when I take out the mods that they say are an issue. Last last exception, the report said to take out Better Build Buy. It looks like a lot of mods need to be updated.
I really think the shopping cart is a poor choice. If someone likes to play but can't afford all the packs, it's quite awful. It's extremely distracting and takes away from experience. Some have paid a lot of money for all the packs, should not be bombarded with the this flashing advertisement while playing. What about little kids playing family accounts as well. Not good.

The social menu not appearing for certain sims is really baffling. Julianna and Juliette cannot click on any other sim in the household. Hannah still has the social menu for both Julianna and Juliette. They can all interact with the pets, horse, and farm animals.
Well I can verify decreasing the singing skill brings back the social menu. Julianna and Juliette were both maxed in singing skill. Dropped them both down to Level 4 and the social menu returned.
