General Patch Fallout (updated Sept 7) This patch broke many script mods, but not all. The key symptom is that you get last exception (LE) files generated and you can’t load a household – the game bounces you back to the world map or you get infinite household loading. The Broken/Updated list for patch 1.117 will have a lot of script mods as a result (with the first, long post as soon as I can fit that in today). Mods that alter the main menu also all broke. These will not be listed individually on the “Broken” list unless the title makes it non-obvious what they are. Most say “main menu” right in them. They will all be listed the first time they update after this patch. For main menu background replacement mods specifically, those requiring the LunarBritney main menu mod will now work only when there isn't an EA online background active. Key Mods Cleared as Compatible with 1.117 Deaderpool – MC Command Center v2025.4.0 Lot 51 – Lot 51 Core Library v1.33.1 Scumbumbo (Triplis/LittleMsSam) – XML Injector v4.2 weerbesu – UI Cheats Extension Pack Selection and Mods: Aug 22 updated info It was originally reported here and elsewhere that Lot 51 Core Library and likely other injector mods could not be used if you use the new pack selection system. Since then, a couple of creators have done some more in-depth testing of how the checklist pack selection system affects the game’s running of mods, especially injector mods such as Lot 51’s Core Library. This is the current state of knowledge: If you choose large packs as part of your pack selection or deselection, the game lets you restart. Do the restart and (most) mods should be fine. If you choose only Kits, the game does not restart and you can end up with mod issues. If you use mods, manually restart the game after Kit-only pack selection. TwistedMexi has indicated that TOOL Mod has issues with the pack selection system, and these might not be the same issue (that's not confirmed). This could be the case for other individual mods as well. This new advice doesn’t guarantee that all mods will work right with checklist pack selection. Alternatively, use the method from James Turner’s website. (The technical difference between the methods – adding an argument to the EA App vs. using the new checklist – are related to how when and how pack removal happens relates to when the game sees mods.)* For either method, first remove mods that depend on the packs you want to exclude. If some of those are recipe mods or custom careers, first remove plates of food and quit those careers. tl;dr If you use mods, always restart the game after checklist pack selection changes, before playing. This might not help with all mod issues related to pack selection. Sept 7 additional info: UPDATED: Lot 51 – Lot 51 Core Library – v1.34, Sept 7, own site/CF - NOTE: As of this update, if you change pack selections, Core Library will ensure that you restart the game. Many thanks to Kuttoe and Lot 51 for legwork on testing!

Newly Broken/Obsolete Game Mods and Tools Broken Mods and Tools NOTES: All mods listed here were reported broken by the creator or were tested by me or a trusted tester. MANY mods that WERE broken are updated! See below. Don't use ONLY this "broken" list! Many mods that aren't on this list, aren't updated, and aren't cleared are broken. For script mods for this patch, be suspicious of ANY script mod not updated or cleared. See also the separate Previously Broken list for mods still broken by earlier game updates and for some known issues. See this IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT PACK SELECTION AND MODS !! revised September 7 Broken CC listed separately. Last updated: September 16 many SCRIPT MODS Many script mods prevent household loading, but not ALL script mods do this. Many of the broken ones are listed here, with more being added regularly. Others are updated or cleared as compatible, so check those lists too. Consider using script mods only if they've been updated or cleared. Main menu mods (not listed separately here; see Updated for some) Re. Main menu background replacement mods with a LunarBritney requirement: LunarBritney has retired Main Menu Readjusted, which is a requirement for many main menu background replacement mods. These mods will work when there’s not an EA online background, and they will stop working when there isn’t. If you want to use main menu backgrounds that had LunarBritney’s as a requirement, you will sometimes need to remove them for a while. AFTER Sept 4, you can use LIJOUE's Main Menu override (see Updated) to enable main menu background replacement mods when there's an EA online background.

[OLD] Broken and Updated Sims 4 Mods and CC: 1.117, Aug 19, 2025 Game Update

About This Thread

This thread is now outdated (though still useful for a while!) FOR THE NEW THREAD, SEE: Broken and Updated Sims 4 Mods and CC: patch 1.118, Sept 18, 2025 | EA Forums - 12594579

This thread tracks Sims 4 mods and CC that have been "broken" or made obsolete by game update 1.117, August 19, 2025 and the September 4 hotfix patch, or declared unsupported by their creators. It also tracks updated game mods and important updates to custom content. If you use mods, this thread's regularly updated compiled lists and (about) daily ongoing reports can help you prevent game errors and help you avoid having to batch-test your whole Mods folder. You can bookmark this topic in your browser and sort by NEW to check the day-by-day lists of additions that start after the compiled lists. You can follow this topic to get notifications of new posts, which will arrive by email if you set up email notifications.

Please start at this important notice about pack selection and mods.

SORT THE THREAD FOR WHAT YOU NEED:

For the COMPILED LISTS, sort by Oldest
For the MOST RECENT INFO, sort by Newest

Some things are NOT covered:

Early-access content and anything else behind a paywall
Creators/mods outside the T (for Teen) game rating (no adult mods! including alcohol etc.)
Creators/mods outside the EA and EA Answers HQ rules, and the Maxis guidelines for Sims 4 content creators
Separate translation files
Loading screens, CAS backdrops, main menu backgrounds, and poses unless the creator says an error is fixed
Sims 4 Multiplayer Mod updates that don’t change the version number
CAS and Build/Buy CC unless the creator says they're fixing an error or catching up pack content
Mods and CC hosted on sites that are mostly adult content or that require joining an 18+ site
Creators who update active creators' CC/mods or who upload folders of other people's mods and CC.

In addition, news for mods/CC hosted only on Mod the Sims may be selective and/or delayed.

In the end, YOU are responsible for your mod use. Because not all content and creators are covered on this official forum, many of you should be following creators directly for news. The pinned topic How to Use Mods and CC includes advice about game updates, mod management, finding broken mods, and how to avoid downloading broken and malicious content. And remember… Back up your Saves folder!
