Cleared by Creator for This Patch Cleared content (mods declared compatible with the game update) is listed by creator. Not all creators clear their mods, especially not for smaller patches.

May his memory be a blessing. MonoChaos will not be clearing or updating mods for quite a while due to a personal injury that's expected to be slow (and for sure full) to recover from. If you do have issues with any MonoChaos mods, please do report those here. Others will check on those reports and make sure Chaos knows for when they're able to mod again.

New Bugfix Mod

Paranormal Investigator Career Spawn Issue Fix Mod (FixLateActiveSimReference) – Turbodriver – on the “vanilla” Sims Forums, at https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/1011850/paranormal-investigator-career-spawn-issue-fix-mod/ . This mod is a workaround for a Paranormal pack bug encountered by some players: “Every gig should begin with specters spawning depending on the selected difficulty level. When this bug triggers, it will never go away. Gigs will only spawn one paranormal object per hour and you will never encounter specters. This can make this career unplayable.” NOTE: This mod conflicts with ChippedSims’s Ghastly Ghosts mod.

Creator News

Mod clearing and updates from LittleMsSam for the upcoming patch are likely to be (unusually for her) delayed because she has broken her arm.

And back up your Saves folder! A game update is incoming, almost certainly on Tuesday, and patches prior to EPs generally “break” more mods than non-EP patches. I’ll be posting new threads, and those of you subscribed to this one will get those links.
