Newly Broken/Obsolete Game Mods
For CAS and Build/Buy custom content (CC) and Build/Buy object game mods, see the separate post below and the ongoing reports. And don't skip checking the Updated list just after this one! Many of those were broken.
LE = last exception
NOTES: If this new EP has you playing again after time away, check previous threads for mods not reported broken or updated here. Many UI mods, however, are expected to break again with this patch. And don't stop here! Many mods that were broken have updates. Keep scrolling.
Last updated: January 9
Broken/Outdated
WHAT TO DO: Delete these from Mods (though sometimes the list indicates a minor issue you can keep playing through), and delete the localthumbcache file. For cookbook mods, first delete plates and food.
NOTE: Pop-up issues with many current script mods might be resolvable by installing either the updated version of TwistedMexi’s Better Exceptions (v.3.12) or TwistedMexi's new mod "Temporary EA Hotfix - Scripted Menus Not Showing ", but Sim safely: Keep backups. Not all outdated mod issues will be covered by this; this is specifically related to pop-ups, not other UI or gameplay issues.

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. Clearing of mods does NOT guarantee that they work: a creator may have missed an issue.
WHAT TO DO: Mods listed here are okay to keep in your game! It's still a good idea to keep a regular backup of your Saves folder by copying that folder to a different place but not by syncing on OneDrive on Windows.)

NOTE: Because many of the Sims 4-specific diagnostic tools modders use for testing were broken by this patch, many modders will need extra time for testing. In addition, not all creators clear their mods for patches; those are always “use at your own risk” if not reported broken or updated. Finally, clearing of mods does NOT guarantee that they work: a creator may have missed an issue.
