It's just infuriating and humiliating as a player that with any new update, mods + CC continuously break. And this time around has been the absolute worst of it because it actually broke my game. Even after I moved my mods folder, my game was not functioning properly. Most of my builds glitched out and I can't enable cheats or control my sims (like I can't even make them walk to another room).
And as players, we shouldn't have to manually do this with each update. Mods + CC are integral parts of enjoying the game, and as game developers, they should have already addressed this issue (as it is reoccurring). Think of all the other games that you can download mods for. I think of Minecraft (there are exceptions because like with Sims4 script mods, some mods change integral parts of the game's code) most smaller mods (of the level of CC in Sims4) don't break the game. This is a fundamental issue that EA is purposely not addressing. And it seems even more purposeful here because of this update launching the "marketplace" which puts CC behind a paywall within the game..... At this point, I'm going to demand a refund for the packs and kits I have paid for because how is an update going to break fundamental aspects of your game's function? This is an absolute garbage move of EA.
