Sitting Here Wondering …

I am very dependent on two separate mods and the only cc I have in my game for the one save I've got going at the moment. I was wondering what everyone else is planning to do in the interim, between the Mod-Busting patch set to drop today, and the time it takes (if necessary) for the creators of the mods you depend on to update them?

I may attempt for the umpteenth time to restart my Ancestral game save. I've played my Cantrell family exclusively since we got GF. Admittedly, it was an old save, as I started the family from scratch, using a Sim I made for Erik Cantrell (my singer Sim of choice in Sims3). But, I didn't keep him. I used him to create his parents and then all five of their children were born in game. I wanted to make use of the Values system. Erik was a teen with level 10 singing ability and not far behind in his guitar skills. Then I set it aside to play my ancestral save.

Until GF came out, that is. It was my intention, using MCCC and an earlier version of RTF to create a singer career, more or less, on my own. Once I learned of GF I dropped RTF figuring I wouldn't need it anymore. Afterwards I learned it, too, had been upgraded to augment GF with a singing career! I was one very happy camper. But, then I returned my Mods folder prematurely and that's when things went from bad to worse. (The bright shining moment was discovering there was an upgraded RTF out already.) I installed it readily, but things just weren't functioning as they should.

Turns out not only was the old game save corrupted (as I discovered after the StrangerVille patch dropped), but Erik as well. Face/palm. I have spent all of this time on a brand new game save and a fresh copy of him (starting as a teen) to get him back to his Global Superstar status. So, you know I'm going to be very cautious this time around. I will pull my Mods folder, but without MCCC and RTF, I don't dare play my Global Superstar.

I am curious to know what your post-patch plans are. :)

    What I do is wait until the mods get updated before I patch, it usually does not take too long and I play without internet on everything is fine. I do this at least till the big mods (like MCCC or Slice Of Life) get updated then wait to the other ones come back~.
  • I'll mainly build and or create sims. I sometimes share things if I've done something that I'm particularly proud of and having a pure vanilla game makes it easier.
  • I spend the time continuing on my main save, where it is purely unmodded, and so I can continue where I left off on the stories. It was about time too, seeing as I neglected it sometime before even GF came out.

    Well, my hard drive died two days ago and I forgot to back up my mods and CC. Also lost many lots that I didn't upload to the gallery. So I'll be playing vanilla until I feel like conjuring up some energy to start over.

    I think I’ll start my game offline and play without the patch long enough to let deaderpool and roburky do their thing.
    I shouldn’t have to play with laptops for too long ;)
    Then I’ll backup and patch.

    Mostly it’s my Sims ages I’d be worried about messing up. I customise heavily.


    deaderpool already has a hotfix out.

    And roBurky said their mods were fine. I'd double check that info, to be on the safe side.

    I know, and I’m sooo happy! :) Updated MCCC, patched my game and everything seems to be working fine.
    I only use MCCC, Meaningful Stories and one little one that takes away/hides the lot trait FX
