Hi! I have come to the conclusion that holding onto script mods until after the patch/pack has dropped is silly. So to expedite things, I've already dc'd all my script mods, ahead of time. :'( It drives me crazy trying to figure out which mods are broken. As I understand it, modders will have hell to pay to redo all their mods with an update to python. I feel their pain and this is why I decided to take out all scripts. The only thing left is cc. After all the dust has settled, then I re-download all my mods.

When the patch drops there will be a thread in the Gameplay Mods section that keeps track of broken/updated Mods. Be sure to keep an eye out and check the first page for information.

I've weeded out my script mods to where the only ones I have are MCCC and UI Cheats; when the patch drops I'll stop playing my active games and switch to building (so I can practice with the terrain tools) until those two are updated. Then I can watch for others to be updated as I go along.

I just took off my auto-update and will continue to play the game with mods until the creators either pull the plug on the mod or fix them. I have some that I'm not super concerned with them working or not, they aren't that crucial to me, just add some fun and realism. Others though I rely on heavily in my game and they would drastically alter my stories.

@stilljustme2 Same here, it's just too much hassle now with the others.

Thanks for the response, yes and that's what made it easier last time a patch broke many mods. But it takes time to update, Deaderpool updates by the next day, bless his heart. I would rather just pick out my mods that have been updated, but it takes time. Hopefully it won't affect the cc.

Hi stilljustme2, yup, that's pretty much what I do, except there are a few more non-script mods I refuse to let go of until they break, mods from coolspear1, who's mods like catch fish faster, faster painting and faster programming are ones I can't play without. Needless to say, since coolspear has retired from modding, I'd like to hang onto them as long as possible, lol.

Edit because I can't spell. :#

MCCC and UI Cheats are vital enough to my gameplay that I can't get rid of them yet while I'm actively playing my saves. I've noted down the ones I've deleted so I can check back after the November patch. I'll probably switch to Build mode and making over some of the Sims in my games with the new pack CASsets while waiting for mods to be updated -- after watching the video from yesterday's live stream I'm excided to play around with the terrain tools; I've got some ideas.

I use many of those same mods -- did a test with and without the Faster Writing/Painting/Programming and they really do make a big difference.

Coolspear1 retired? Last I saw he had considered quitting but he changed his mind. A lot of his tuning mods have been vital for my games. I hope someone can take over some of them, like he took on the Faster mods from Madame Butterfly.

I thought Coolspear had already been in and out of it once. I completely respect any modder who needs to take a break for any reason, but for my personal game now, and ease of use (because I just don't have the energy any more), I no longer use the work of anyone who hasn't been completely consistent about updating.
