Broken and Updated Sims 4 Mods and CC: 1.117, Aug 19, 2025 Game Update
About This Thread
_____________________________________________________________
→ HOLIDAY NOTICE!
I’m on holiday until late Wednesday, August 20, and out a lot of the rest of the week. When I can, I’ll update with news here and update the patch 1.116 thread with news from before this patch.
_________________________________________________________
This thread tracks Sims 4 mods and CC that have been "broken" or made obsolete by game update 1.117, August 19, 2025, or declared unsupported by their creators. It also tracks updated game mods and important updates to custom content. If you use mods, this thread's regularly updated compiled lists and (about) daily ongoing reports can help you prevent game errors and help you avoid having to batch-test your whole Mods folder. You can bookmark this topic in your browser and sort by NEW to check the day-by-day lists of additions that start after the compiled lists. You can follow this topic to get notifications of new posts, which will arrive by email if you set up email notifications.
SORT THE THREAD FOR WHAT YOU NEED:
- For the COMPILED LISTS, sort by Oldest
- For the MOST RECENT INFO, sort by Newest
Some things are NOT covered:
- Early-access content and anything else behind a paywall
- Creators/mods outside the T (for Teen) game rating (no adult mods! including alcohol etc.)
- Creators/mods outside the EA and EA Answers HQ rules, and the Maxis guidelines for Sims 4 content creators
- Separate translation files
- Loading screens, CAS backdrops, main menu backgrounds, and poses unless the creator says an error is fixed
- Sims 4 Multiplayer Mod updates that don’t change the version number
- CAS and Build/Buy CC unless the creator says they're fixing an error or catching up pack content
- Mods and CC hosted on sites that are mostly adult content or that require joining an 18+ site
- Creators who update active creators' CC/mods or who upload folders of other people's mods and CC.
In addition, news for mods/CC hosted only on Mod the Sims may be selective and/or delayed.
In the end, YOU are responsible for your mod use. Because not all content and creators are covered on this official forum, many of you should be following creators directly for news. The pinned topic How to Use Mods and CC includes advice about game updates, mod management, finding broken mods, and how to avoid downloading broken and malicious content. And remember… Back up your Saves folder!
