Re: Broken/Obsolete and Updated Sims 4 Mods: 1.105, Feb. 27, 2024 Game Update
Newly Broken/Obsolete Game Mods
See also the Previously Broken list. Updated includes many mods that were broken. For CAS and Build/Buy custom content (CC) and Build/Buy object game mods, see here. For information about malware-infected mods still turning up in people’s Mods folders, see [CURRENT ISSUE] Malicious Script Mods and Malware.
New Malware Threat
NEW: April 7: Malware via a mod that is downloaded as only a text file that contains a link.
Known cases:
- "S4 CAS Tools" on Nexus from user fubruss (the real mod is on Mod the Sims, from the late CmarNYC, dated 18 March 2023)
- “Loading Screen Randomizer” on Nexus from user fubruss (the real mod is on Mod the Sims, from Tesuto , dated 9 January 2024)
Do NOT follow the links in the text files. Do NOT download other files or follow links from this user. No legitimate mod download will EVER consist of only a text file (a file ending in .txt).
If you downloaded either of these, delete them NOW and run a virus scan. NOTE: This malware does NOT require that you run the game for it to install itself, and is not what ModGuard is designed to detect and stop.
Last updated: April 16
Broken/Outdated
NOTE: Because an issue that many modders updated for in an earlier patch is now fixed at EA’s end, many mods will throw (mostly harmless) LEs and need updating. Expect a lot of mod updates and hotfixes. A second issue this patch is a new UI feature, which means some (not all) UI mods are broken.
- all CAS CC icon mods (CAS wrench hiders/changers) — see Updated
- world-copying mods, including Zerbu’s Copy Worlds – Note: as always for this category of mod, if you remove these mods, those saves won’t be fully usable, and all such mods had previous known issues.
