BROKEN MODSNOTE: This list does not include previously broken mods and should be presumed to be incomplete. This patch will affect more mods than usual because it’s for an EP with many new features, a new lifestage, AND a Live-mode Sim pie-menu reorganization! Some modders have even reported that they expect most of their mods to be at least partially broken.

*** Presume ALL mods broken until cleared or updated. ***Not a Mod IssueFrom @crinrict:
- Parent needs to be introduced to Infant or Toddler is a game bug caused by the Beloved trait https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Parent-needs-to-be-introduced-to-infant-Beloved-Trait/td-p/12382854/
- Infant food likes/dislikes resetting is a game bug: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Infant-food-exploring-likes-and-dislikes-resetting-not-known-to/td-p/12383969/
- Not being able to have a Science Baby, however, is caused by mods you need to update.
- Two game clothing items cause Sims to deform. @crinrict shows them at https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2023/03/sim-looks-deformed-and-like-a-spider/
- @crinrict says:
If you download Sims from the gallery that have an extra (or more traits), do not change their traits or it will mess up the GUI in CAS.
- An empty Pack Value Panel with Werewolves is a game bug, not a mod problem. Please "me too" over at AHQ.
- Getting LEs about relationships and they're telling you it's a mod? It might not be, actually! LeRoiDeTout to the rescue! Get the LeRoiDeTout bugfix mods posted at the bottom of this post.
- Error Code 132:dad724e4 is not a mod problem. It's cause, @crinrict reports, by pools in apartments. For more, see https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/crin-error/error-code-132dad724e4/
- Re. Insemination/Surrogacy (Lumpinou): "Can't unpack" and similar errors are a result of a game issue, not the mod. For now, avoid these situations: letting the lab choose samples or being a surrogate for a single sim who cannot impregnate.
New Bugfix Mods
New Mod Fix: Performance Commands / Get Relationship Metrics Error Fix (PCGRMFix) (LeRoiDeTout)
This mod fixes an error that occurs during the night when the game schedules its routine culling of Sims. When a Sim is culled, telemetry data is sent to EA on how many relationships the Sim managed to have before being culled, and while processing through those relationships, some of them are, go figure, pointing to Sim IDs that no longer exist.
UPDATED AND EXPANDED as (LeRoiDeTout) - new + and update of The PCGRM Fix (Performance Commands/Get Relationship Metrics) Mod
Originally, I had intended to release a separate fix for another culling type error, "get culling score for Sim Info", but after some testing, it seems that error only hits once the relationship metrics one is fixed. Because of that, I've decided to combine them into their own file. In order to make sure we can tell people have the right file, I've renamed the mod as well. If you have the old version of the mod, please remove it and download this one instead.
- Chef Entering Restaurant Fix (Simvasion) - NOTE: Choose between this fix and Bienchen's
Fixes an issue which causes the chef at a restaurant to stand outside idling for two hours, instead of going inside to cook.
- WooHoo in Closet Fix (Simvasion)
Fixes an issue that makes the ‘WooHoo in Closet’ and ‘Try for Baby in Closet’ interactions fail when the closet is built into a wall.
- Canning: All Jars to Inventory & Bug Fix (LittleRedSonja)
I also noticed that canning oversized mushrooms Off-the-Grid is bugged and sims are not able to finish the cooking. This mod also fixes that bug.
- Trash Talk Fix (thefreshsims/brainblasted)
When trash talking another sim with the socials added for the neighborhood stories update, sims without the loyal trait that were not friends with the victim would get a 3-day tense moodlet for "Loyal sims trash talking a friend". EA failed to actually check that the sim had the loyal trait and that the victim was a friend in the tuning that adds the buff.
This mod modifies loot_Relbit_Loyal_TrashTalked to test the relationship and that the talking sim has the loyal trait before doing anything.
- Milestone Fixes (Lumpinou with NateTheL0ser)
1. With this file installed, Sims from Played households but not currently played will have their existing milestones recognized by the game as existing, and therefore infants and toddlers with the relevant milestones will be able to move about.
2. If you play a sim and they interact with a sim from another played household but not currently active, that other sim will be able to gain milestones properly with your sim, for example if they get married, etc.
3. I put a tweak in there to prevent milestones rotationally disappearing.
- Perform Seance Animation Fix (Waffle's Mix-Ins)
Seances in Paranormal are busted. Success plays a failure animation and vice versa. Now it's correct. Bingo bango ha ta ta
- Maid Broken Vaccumcleaner Bug Fix (LittleMsSam)
When trying to figure out why my Live in Maid stopped using the Vacuumcleaner i found out that there is an ingame bug, where Maids or Butlers can't vacuum anymore when the Vacuumcleaner in their inventory is broken. Now they get a new Vaccumcleaner and this one has all the nice Upgrades bottomless Bag, Unbreakable, Self Charging, and Vaporizing Pulse.
- Tablet Off The Grid Fix (thefreshsims/brainblasted)
When playing with the Off The Grid lot challenge, you may or may not have run into the issue of interactions not being available on the tablet even if you have power. This is because the tablet versions of these interactions check for the Off The Grid lot trait instead of what utilities are available.
This mod edits the tuning for these interactions to check the utilities.
- Massage Socials Fix (Chingyu)
This contains two packages (can be used together):
1) Fix a bug that EA missed putting a few massage socials inside the ask for and offer massage pie menu, which occupies the Friendly pie menu.
2) Put the "Ask for a Massage" and "Offer a Massage" menus inside the Activities menu so that your social menu is neater.
