Broken Mods
NOTE: Because an issue that many modders updated for after an earlier patch is now fixed at EA’s end, many mods will throw (mostly harmless) LEs and need updating. Expect a lot of mod updates and hotfixes. A second issue: A new UI feature means some (not all) UI mods are broken.
- Deaderpool – MC Command Center – LE that does not affect gameplay
- Dskecht – all mods
Obsolete Mods
These are no longer needed due to changes made in the patch, and they should be removed. Patch notes are at https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/A-Most-Sparkling-Update/m-p/13490554
- Bienchen – grableftoverfix
- Rex/konansock/konanhurry – Owned Business Fix
- SimplifiedModding – Food Autonomy Overhaul (Stop Eating My Ingredients!)
- thunder1143
- Get Famous NPC Generation Fix
- [HCHSP] Fireproof Home Chef Hustle Appliances – unless you want zero chance, not a better, lower chance than “lots and lots”
- Seijan – Goth Galore Kit female hoodie fix (SP48HoodieStraps_Fix)
