Apr. 7: NEW THREAT NEW: Malware via a mod that is downloaded as only a text file that contains a link. Known cases: "S4 CAS Tools" on Nexus from user fubruss (the real mod is on Mod the Sims, from the late CmarNYC, dated 18 March 2023) “Loading Screen Randomizer” on Nexus from user fubruss (the real mod is on Mod the Sims, from Tesuto , dated 9 January 2024) Do NOT follow the links in the text files. Do NOT download other files or follow links from this user. No legitimate mod download will EVER consist of only a text file (a file ending in .txt). If you downloaded either of these, delete them NOW and run a virus scan. NOTE: This malware does NOT require that you run the game for it to install itself, and is not what ModGuard is designed to detect and stop.

Newly Broken/Obsolete Game Mods See also the Previously Broken list. Updated includes many mods that were broken. For CAS and Build/Buy custom content (CC) and Build/Buy object game mods, see here. For information about malware-infected mods still turning up in people’s Mods folders, see [CURRENT ISSUE] Malicious Script Mods and Malware. New Malware Threat NEW: April 7: Malware via a mod that is downloaded as only a text file that contains a link.

Last updated: April 16 Broken/Outdated NOTE: Because an issue that many modders updated for in an earlier patch is now fixed at EA’s end, many mods will throw (mostly harmless) LEs and need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 this patch is a new UI feature, which means some (not all) UI mods are broken. all CAS CC icon mods (CAS wrench hiders/changers) — see Updated world-copying mods, including Zerbu’s Copy Worlds – Note: as always for this category of mod, if you remove these mods, those saves won’t be fully usable, and all such mods had previous known issues. adeepindigo – Writer Career and Writing Overhaul Bienchen – Whim Overhaul: Eco Lifestyle and Outdoor Retreat – LEs BosseladyTV –New NPCs – broken and unsupported Chingyu – Faithfulness Mod + Traits – possibly broken for players without Seasons digitprojectart – all mods Grumpy – Jeune sims studieux / Young hard working KawaiiStacie Education Bundle (Better Schools, Online Schooling) – phone UI affected Preschool Mod LeRoiDeTout – UI Normal Sim Pictures (orig. by Shimrod101) – breaks Infant UI maplebell – most mods Mercuryfoam – Custom Radio Stations MizoreYukii, Pandasama, and Icemunmun – Dairy Cow – depending on packs owned Mokunoid – Better Romantic Jealousy – unintended effects with Get Famous NickyClem – Insurance Company Life Insurance Ozzy & Mariam – Double Dutch Mod – removed and presumed broken Rex/konansock/konanhurry – some mods for players who don’t own all packs; no list available SashaT1894 – Custom Channel Injector (note: the issue may be the stations, not the injector) Scumbumbo Packing Crates (updated by Basemental) – not working as intended Teleport Any Sim (updated by Andrew) – tunable_perf error, but should be working otherwise Simsonian Library – Cabinets with Inventory sparklymari – Adult Jobs for Teens – tuning errors related to cooldowns and Reputation are likely to affect gameplay thatssojordy – Pregnancy Reactions – entire households travel with a Sim Known Issues HelenTheHunter – Purchase All Fish (orig. by Monochaos) – harmless LE Laureli – Create Dye – issues with some interactions for players without Nifty Knitting or Vampires MizoreYukii Functional Broom – needs minor updates Kneel Anywhere – needs minor updates Simmillercc careers and aspirations: some are missing objectives text Treasure Hunter Aspiration – objectives completed before selecting the aspiration are not registering as completed Srsly – SCCO – not working right with prepped ingredients Triplis – Child and Teen Can Quit or Rejoin School – blocks "follow" UI for high school for some players; if this includes you, please contact the creator Obsolete Most of these are obsolete because they are no longer needed due to changes made in the patch, and they should be removed.
