Game crashes after new patch (UI Extension)

This is not a problem, but it is advice for other Simmers. If your game is crashing after a new patch and you have the UI Cheats Extension installed, get the latest version of the mod. I used to have this problem and found the cause was that the mod was outdated. The easiest way to know this specific mod is the problem is your Sims needs tab will be all messed up. Hope this helps ( ◠‿◠ )

  • I'm new to the Sims community so I’m not sure if I can post this question here but here goes.  Just wondering if this is happening to anyone else.

    It seems as though the update "UI_Cheats_Extension_v.1.12" is the latest for the UI cheats extension but for some strange reason when this is in my mods folder my game gets stuck in live mode and I cannot switch from build mode to live mode {F1).

    This has always been the case with every UI cheats extension I have ever used. My game is updated and everything is working so why is this glitch happening.... Any1?👀

    I should add that I took out every single mod before I tested the UI cheats extension by itself.
  • @AL40491 Following are some excellent resources with information on how to add, update, and properly monitor your Mods/CC. I've never used either so I cannot speak for the specifics in the case of the Mod you're having an issue with, but these are good sources of information on the subject.

    I hope you will find some useful information there. Please let us know how it goes. Thanks!

  • Thank you very much. I will have a look. I really don't have a problem with any Mods, just the UI cheats extension. I will let you know how it goes. Thanks again.

    @EleganceAstute, isn't the UI Cheat Extension technically a Mod?  If you are having problems with that then you are having problems with a Mod.  🤔

    It is usually recommended that you move your entire Mods folder to you desktop and then delete you localthumbcache.package file (and repairing your game in Origin can help too) in order to test if your problem is a Mod conflict. 😇

    Did you look at the links that @SheriGR provided ?🤔

  • @AL40491 @EleganceAstute I was told by a fellow helper that the link shared here was to an outdated version fo the "UI Extension" Mod. He tells me you much go to the Patreon site to find the updated version (1.16).

  • @AL40491 i have this problem but i just downloaded it for the first time just 2 minutes ago IT IS the latest version...

    Hey @polinamax11,

    This thread is a few years old at this point, so I'm locking it here to avoid additional necroposting and just to be sure we're not looking at potentially outdated info when checking into this further.

    If you're still running into this problem after trying the suggestions earlier in the thread, please feel free to start a new topic with more details about the issue you're seeing and any steps you've tried so far, thanks!
