Community ManagerIntroduction
If you’ve come to this thread, it’s probably for one of two reason: [1] you use game mods or custom content (CC) and something went wrong in Sims after the game updated or [2] you use game mods or custom (CC) and you heard that you should do something about game update time.
Mods (game mods and CC) aren’t created by Maxis — they’re created by Simmers, who tie into The Sims 4 game code. When the game is updated, the code that gets updated is going to be the code that some mod out there “talks” to, which means that mod can “break”. A mod that uses code that almost never changes will almost never “break”. A mod that uses code that gets changed a lot will need updating a lot. This is nobody’s fault: it’s just how mods and games work together.
So how does this affect you as a player who uses mods? An outdated mod (one that’s fallen behind the code it relies on) can cause you problems. It might only result in last exception (LE) error files and not seem to do anything in your game. It might make parts of the game inaccessible or really weird looking. It might make a “save” permanently unplayable, especially if you’ve saved when you exit. It might stop the game or your save or a household opening at all.
So here you are! This thread is here for support in handling your game and mods after the most recent game update, to help you solve mod problems that come up (and give you extra guidance on what some commons mod-related problems are right now), and as one way for players and modders to pass on news about mods.

Other AHQ Resources
Are there supposed to be any live links to mod sources in the "Broken/Obsolete and Updated Sims 4 Mods: 1.101, September 26, 2023 Game Update" lists?
No. We do provide links to bugfixes in that list at AHQ Bugs . When there could be some chance that a web search would land you on the wrong version of a mod, I provide direction in the post here.
