!! Lot 51 Core Library and XML Injector are NOT compatible with the new pack-choice feature! This extends to all mods that require them, and it is likely to be true as well of some other injector mods and script mods that incorporate similar functions into themselves.
If you want to exclude packs and use mods, use the method from James Turner’s website. (The technical difference between the methods – adding an argument to the EA App vs. using the new checklist – are related to how when and how pack removal happens relates to when the game sees mods.)* For either method, first remove mods that depend on the packs you want to exclude.
This patch broke many script mods, but not all. The key symptom is that you get last exception (LE) files generated and you can’t load a world – the game bounces you back to the world map. The Broken/Updated list for patch 1.117 will have a lot of script mods as a result (with the first, long post as soon as I can fit that in today).
Mods that alter the main menu also all broke. These will not be listed individually on the “Broken” list unless the title makes it non-obvious what they are. Most say “main menu” right in them. They will all be listed the first time they update after this patch.
Finally, thank you for your patience while I catch up after my much-needed holiday.
*Thank you to Lot 51 for the discovery and details. Lot might have more info on his Discord server for the curious.
