Re: Broken/Obsolete and Updated Sims 4 Mods
Hi:
I'm a relatively new Simmer (about 270 hours of play) but have dove into this pretty hard and as a result probably have a good 100 mods if not more. I assume this is normal before an EP releas...

@stevenwagenheim It really depends on mod complexity and how much code changed. Plus there are all the personal factors (it's December, multiple modders broke body parts, etc.). Right now, I'm expecting that there'll be a couple of hotfixes for major mods today. Another batch of updates I'm about to post are smaller mods. Some modders will definitely need at least a week to sort through changes, and some of the new changes may require rethinking how some mods work.
Do keep a backup of your saves! That helps a lot when unexpected things go wrong.
@luthienrising Thanks. Right now, I'm playing without mods and my current save is fine. As I add them back in to the mod folder, I'll exit out without saving. This will keep my clean save intact. Naturally, this means I'll be spending the next few days doing nothing but testing without any actual game play advancement. But that's cool. I didn't become a programmer (before that a QA tester) for the money. I did it because I just love that stuff.
Would it be helpful to the community if I posted my own report on broken mods somewhere? If so, where?

Here is good 🙂 You can use the Issues thread for that. It helps me to know this:
- How you tested the mod (i.e., tested with nothing else or only mods it depends on, localthumbcache was deleted, if you also tested with no mods at all)
- What any error messages are
- What the symptoms are
Also, if you find mod testing satisfying after a while, I'm happy to refer you to modders who are looking for testers!
I hadn't gotten back to this because I've been so busy with the game. But yes, please feel free to refer me to any modders looking for testers. I did QA testing for about 6 years and programmed for over 20 years.
Hi @stevenwagenheim I've got a modder who would like a tester 🙂 Please DM me for more info!
