Re: I get this string often when I use mods I probably ripped unsuccessfully...

So merged packages of mods through the gallery can become corrupt more often? I don't merge them manually anymore. I used to. I stopped doing it so I could figure out the problem I was having recently and that was like a year ago. I do have some website downloaded mods, though. None of them were downloaded on an insecure sight and all have been scanned thoroughly.

    @netherkrow It's not that they become more corrupt - it's that you can't see in them or find their contents in a search. So you can end up with two copies of the same file, with mods/CC that are outdated because of a game patch but you can't delete just that mod/CC, and with mods that you end up with earlier and later versions of. And that comes with no benefit to you as a player, because merging CC files doesn't improve anything in-game. And older merged files you find somewhere online are more likely to contain content that's already outdated/broken.

    Of note, no CC or mods is downloadable from the Gallery for Sims 4, only from outside sites.
