Community ManagerIntroduction
With every patch/game update mods/cc become outdated or even obsolete. Some mods are outdated with almost every patch, others hardly ever. This is just how mods work and is no one's fault.
Running your save with an outdated mod can lead to serious issues though to the point where you can't even load the game. In most cases, removing the outdated mods will fix the game but there are instances where this is not the case
Because of this, it's very important to make a backup of your saves before every patch. This is also recommended if you don't use mods cause there are of course also new game bugs. It's also advisable that if you do run into issue to leave the game without saving.
What's the purpose of this thread ?
Some mods show (almost) identical symptoms with every patch others show new symptoms with a specific patch.
To help with all that, this thread contains a list of symptoms and possible culprits. If you have further issues, please post in this thread so other mod users can help you figure out what the issue is or use the 50/50 Method (works for all versions of the Sims) to find faulty mod/cc yourself. If you exhausted all troubleshooting steps provided and still have issues on a new save game with an empty mods folder, please post describing what you have tried.
A good mod that can assist you with finding outdated mods is Better Exceptions by TwistedMexi.
This list is not conclusive and always a work in progress. New threads will be added so check often. There can also be other mods that cause the same issues but aren't listed.
Please always delete the localthumbcache file (a cache file that will recreate when you restart the game) after deleting or adding mods/cc. You can find some more info on the file here

Im getting no option for my sim to ride her horse. The only option that shows up is some stable gossip thing
I’m having the same issue. I created a horse in CAS but the only option I have when I click on it is gossip. None of my sims can ride it, even the ones who have high horsemanship.
Also whenever the horse walks somewhere it does so on its hind legs
I had the exact same problem! My issues weren't with Little MsSam mods or a deep indigo, it was because I didn't update sims4me mods. I'm not sure which one it was exactly.
