[CURRENT ISSUE] Mods not staying enabled after patch 1.125

Crin says:

“It looks like the Windows Ransomware protection is blocking Sims 4 again (possibly cause more users were switch to memory boost). If you have any issues with mods not enabling, pop-ups showing up over and over, check if it blocks.”

These are current symptoms:

• Can't enable mods/CC - the setting won't "stick" on game reloading
• Other changes in Options also reset
• All gallery items are a red X
• Create-a-Sim (CAS) mode gets stuck
• Game progress doesn't save
