Newly Broken/Obsolete Game Mods and Tools
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) Updated Mods and Tools and broken and updated CC lists.
MALWARE ALERT
NSFW/18+ mod users are being heavily targeted with malware, with multiple kinds of mods and CC affected. How long a site has been around is NOT an indicator that it’s well managed and safe to use. Clothes CC and poses don’t come with a .ts4script file. And you ABSOLUTELY MUST install TwistedMexi’s ModGuard in your Mods folder if you use you use any CC or mods at all, even just hair. This is now crucial for protecting yourself from malware in Sims CC downloads. Your general computer protection can’t analyze .ts4script files.
Technical Issue Affecting Mod Users
Crin says:
“It looks like the Windows Ransomware protection is blocking Sims 4 again (possibly cause more users were switch to memory boost). If you have any issues with mods not enabling, pop-ups showing up over and over, check if it blocks.”
For more on this, see https://crinrict.com/blog/2020/10/add-exceptions-to-anti-virus-programs.html

Do Not Use New Mod Managers
Yet another person has shown up completely out of the blue with a “mod manager.” It flagged a nonproblematic mod as broken based on factors that are irrelevant to mod function. People who know absolutely nothing about Sims modding at all keep deciding to make mod managers (and ask you for money). Funnily enough, this only started after public-facing AI tools became popular… Do not use new mod managers unless they are being recommended to you by people who do mod support.
Broken Mods and Tools

Obsolete and Unsupported Mods
Obsolete mods are (mostly) bugfixes that are no longer needed; REMOVE OBSOLETE MODS. Obsolete mods are sometimes broken (but untested for how). Unsupported mods are either being no longer supported by their creator or have been replaced by a newer mod.

NOT necessarily obsolete
