REMINDER: Many gameplay mods that are NOT cleared or reported broken could be broken. Use them only at your own risk.

Broken Core/Injector Mods
- SashaT1804 – Custom Channels Injector – see Lot 51's update as an alternative
NOTE: XML Injector is updated at the Scumbumbo website. Lot 51 Core Library is updated at Lot 51's website and Curseforge. And see “Updated” for other updated injector mods!
Other Broken Mods and Tools
----
Remember to CHECK THE "UPDATED" LIST for many mods that were broken! Including mods by TwistedMexi and weerbesu, plus injector and core mods.
An issue with Reshade/Gshade is not caused by these tools or the lighting mods. Please see this July 18 update from EACade about the EA App update.
----
- non-updated CC wrench mods
- some default replacement eyes – may be not available for cats, dogs, and horses – note: This is not the “your dog is black” issue. For that, see Bug Reports.
- custom Milestones known issue – Sims may receive buffs for Milestones they don’t have. NOTE: There’s a game bug for this too, with a bugfix mod (see below) that affects only game Milestones not custom ones.
- Known Issue: custom recipes (food/woodworks/etc.): Due to coding changes on EA’s side, you might not be able to just pick and choose which custom recipes you install for a custom food/woodworking or similar recipe cookbook/tool. If you’re getting last exception errors that mention a recipe, try installing all the recipes that go with a mod. Yes, this will slow down your fridge menu loading -- consider using fewer custom cookbooks. If you remove some, remember to delete plates/food first..
