All mods listed broken either are reported broken by the creator or are tested by me or a trusted tester, unless otherwise noted. See also: the separate Previously Broken list and (below) the Updated Mods and Tools and broken and updated CC lists.
NOTE: This is a high-impact patch and will break MANY mods, especially mods affecting relationships/genealogy. Keep your backup Saves. Wait for mods to be updated or cleared.
For Sim Picker Issues: Download v1.39 of Lot 51 Core Library (Feb 16, own site/CF) to solve Sim Picker (including travel) loading issues for all career mods broken this way. Note that mods may still be broken in other ways.
Key: LE = “last exception” file produced.
- ➡️broken UI? See below, and see under Updated, especially: TOOL Mod, Better BuildBuy, UI Cheats Extension, 15 Clubs Per Sim, CAS wrenches, Color Sliders, More Traits in CAS, gender neutral CAS thumbnails
- ➡️lot loading issues? See below, and see under Updated, especially: Lumpinou's RPO, pancake's Spiral Staircases. Some of you will also need to see this older thread.
- ➡️Sims can't use the toilet? 18+/NSFW mods are not covered here.
- ➡️➡️Can't travel, or similar SimPicker issues? Sim Picker functions (e.g., travelling) fail if a Sim shown in the UI has a non-compatible custom career ; lastexception (LE) includes “cpp_message”. Some mods are updated for this issue. As of Feb. 16, yuo can download v1.39 of Lot 51 Core Library (own site/CF) to solve this problem for all career mods broken this way.
- and... NOT mod-related: Big white rectangle on the Main Menu (and a UI exception file) – Please head to the bug report here: https://forums.ea.com/idea/the-sims-4-bug-reports-en/white-ad-and-ui-exception/13180993 NOTE: If you have TOOL Mod (and perhaps some other mods), you might get just the UI exception file.
BROKEN:
- all custom CAS wrench mods – distort save/exit Menu, parts of CAS UI – many now under Updated
- many custom careers (with Royalty EP): Sim Picker functions (e.g., travelling by phone) fail if a Sim shown in the UI has a non-compatible custom career, and a lastexception (LE) that includes “cpp_message” is produced. Some mods are updated for this issue. As of Feb. 16, you can download v1.39 of Lot 51 Core Library (own site/CF) to solve this problem for all career mods broken this way. Mods will stay reported broken for it, however, if Lot 51 Core Library is not listed on their page as a requirement.
For Sim Picker Issues: Download v1.39 of Lot 51 Core Library (Feb 16, own site/CF) to solve Sim Picker (including travel) loading issues for all career mods broken this way. Note that mods may still be broken in other ways. Affected mods that have updates that don't address this issue will remain listed as broken (or maybe, later, known issue of not being pack-compatible) unless Core Library is listed as a requirement for the mod on its own site.
