Ongoing Reports
To keep up with reports on outdated and updated gameplay mods, CAS and Build/Buy custom content mods, new bugfix mods, and related Sims 4 tools — not just catch up when your game won't behave or you're returning to Sims 4 after a long break — you can subscribe to this thread. The top posts will be regularly updated with the more critical reports, but not all reports will appear there.
As noted in the top post, not all mods and creators are covered here. In the end, your use of mods is your responsibility.

New subscribers: You can expect multiple new-post notifications per day for the first days after a pre-EP patch, especially if there’s news about particularly popular mods or mods that are outdated in a game-breaking way.
And to all mod/CC users: Please be patient with creators and give them space to do what they need to do. Most also have school, jobs, family responsibilities, health issues, or other things that often have to come before testing and updating their mods. Those who do mod-clearing (not all do) will get to it when they can. The same is true for mod updates, and those are not always straightforward. In the past, we’ve seen modders give being nagged by Simmers as as a reason they finally quit modding. Don’t be that person. Consider, while you wait, starting a new mod-free game or getting some other things on your to-do list done.
Outdated/Broken
- Better Exceptions – TwistedMexi – VERY BROKEN
- Multilingual Distress Language Changer Mod – IsyTheSnake
Creator News
- Mod clearing and updates from LittleMsSam are likely to be delayed as she broke her arm just a few days before this patch.
- And as noted before this patch, MonoChaos will not be clearing or updating mods for quite a while due to a personal injury requiring long recovery time.

Outdated/Broken
- Better BuildBuy – TwistedMexi
- Language Barriers – Frankk – prevents aging up, and other issues
- MC Command Centre – Deaderpool – many broken features
- TOOL Mod – TwistedMexi
- Wonderful Whims – Turbodriver
And many other script mods that use custom pop-up menus and mods that leverage the billing system.
Updated
- Baby Drama – plumlace – pre-patch release
- No Loading Screen Tips – rainbow quartz

Clearing Mods
- Frankk – Bad Translations
- plumlace
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.
