ReShade/GShade .dll deleted when Sims 4 loads

From Today my Gshade won´t show up in game. Is anybody else having the same problem? I´ve tried reinstalling it multiple times but nothing works. edited title for visibility. -puzzlezaddict

Hey all!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We found that this issue was an unintended side effect of a recent update to the EA app and how it handles certain DLL types.

Installing the latest available version of the EA app should resolve the problem; you also might need to reinstall your shader mods after updating the EA app.

When todays patch (July 10th) released, it has made the EA app delete a file that G shade needs called dxgi symlink which G shade needs in order to function.

It seems as though when the EA app updated it has been deleting flies.
It has deleted "dxgi" file. One that is important to us who play the sims with Gshade/Reshade.

ETA: Solution so far, uninstall EA app and re install to version 13.501.1.6009 (A previous version). The 6019 version has the issue. You can get the previous version via the EA website or doing a game repair

  Tysm! Is that a previous version? If so, do you know where I can find it? I've tried, but no dice :(

  I didn't have to roll back to a previous version of the EA App. Reinstalling the current version worked for me.
