Studio can add a feature that goes through and sequesters items with more than the arbitrary number of slots dictated by the game. However, if EA is going to fix the problem promptly, this step would be a waste of time.
Judging by the very large number of posts and PMs about this problem at Studio forums, there are a lot of affected items. That makes sense given that people have been making slotted CC for years and Studio's slot editor makes it very easy to add tons of slots in minutes. Further, manual fixing by the creator means that resolving this problem on the community side will not just be a PIA for creators. Every player with a now-broken slot mod will have to track down the site where they got it, see if the creator updated, and redownload if an update is available.
In the past, when issues like this have occurred secondary to unintended patch changes, EA has been very good about letting us know the plan quickly. Hopefully, it will be the same this time.
