See also the separate Previously Broken list for mods broken by earlier game updates and for some known issues. Updated Mods below includes mods that were broken, not just feature updates. Also listed separately in this post: Broken and Updated CC and Build/Buy. If you can find it in the catalogue, that’s where it will be.
Last updated: April 28
CRITICAL ALERT for SIMFILESHARE - April 13, updated April 24
Do not download CC from SimFileShare from these creators:
- SimAndy
- TheNinthWaveSims
- Pixelunivairse
These account are compromised. Files may include an executable (.exe) file presumed to be malicious. If you did download any files from these creators after about April 11, delete them and run a virus scan.
RECOMMENDATION: Do not download ANY files from SFS that were updated or uploaded April 1-13 without great caution.
NOTE (April 24): Creators are able to upload to SimFileShare again. However, I advise that you be very cautious. ►Look and think before you download and install, wherever you download. Did a creator suddenly update old content without also announcing it? Are the files the kind of files they should be? Is this the place that creator normally uploads their stuff?
KEY: LE = last exception error (and don't skip the Updated list below!)
- all custom club activities – do not appear in the club menu in my testing (many are obsolete anyway); see Updated for some!
- freelance custom careers – one probable cause of households not loading (again!); see Updated for some, including from KiaraSims ("Gigs" mods) and Ilkavelle

- many Child and younger height mods, all Child and younger sliders, many Child and younger presets – sliders can block saving; height mods can just not function or block saving. Which height sliders are broken may depend on how they're coded, but if yours isn't working try without. NOTE: These will not be able to be updated unless there's a new change to EA code.
