Will infants break CAS cc?

@graventhe this is a major update that is going to break a large majority of mods and cc. Since they're adding a whole new lifestage it's pretty likely some, if not all, of your cas cc will break. Just remember to copy your entire Sims 4 folder to your computer's desktop or other drive before you update. If you don't have enough disk space just copy your mods, saves & tray folders; also your custom music folder if you put custom music in.

If you have anything modding CAS it will break. If you have CAS content, some of it may break, some may not, but instead of the slavish task of going through your CAS content one item at a time to find out what works, it may just be simpler to delete all your CAS and download new, better CAS in a few days - it's being made all the time. Infants aren't even going to have realistic textures at first.

Anything is possible, but I think it's unlikely that CAS items will break.

I'm removing my entire mods folder before the update, but if there are no reports of breakages, CAS items are the first ones I'll put back in my game.

It's much more likely build and buy cc objects will break. Doors especially, so definitely remove them until fixes are available.

If your CAS CC does break there should be batch fixes available soon from Sims 4 Studio.

We don't know for sure exactly what will break, but I wouldn't be surprised if large amounts of CAS cc needs updating. Usually within a week or two, Sims 4 Studio updates with a batch fixer that will do the necessary updates to get CC (and probably also a lot of B/B) working. This will let you keep a lot of CC usable if the modder no longer updates their stuff.

I have sims 4 studio I’m def relying on it because most CAS cc I have are from 2015-2018 and their creators aren’t active anymore so I wonder how to do batch fixer for all CAS cc or sims 4 studio do it automatically after updating it?

It's an option on the front screen that you have to run. In the top toolbar, click "Content Management," then "Batch Fixes." There's lists of all the different batch fixes available now. If you're using older stuff, I'd try running a few options just to try it out before the big update. It will automatically make a back up of any files that it fixes and tell you exactly how many needed fixing.

Definitely pull your mods folder out before updating, installing the new pack and playing your game. Don't just copy it then play your game while hoping for the best outcome. This is a huge base game update and GT is introducing some features we have never experienced before. We have no idea what is going to be affected and playing with broken mods, CAS CC, and B/B CC can corrupt your game saves under certain conditions.

If you don't use mods or CC, you don't need to worry about what will happen to your game except for whatever new glitches and bugs that may come along for the ride. Since we won't see GT being played with other packs, we don't know if there will be compatibility issues to deal with. We just don't know what to expect until we play it. Bienchen83 posted a list of her mods she believes will be broken once the game is updated. Here is the link if you would like to read it. https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/953198/mods-by-bienchen83-sims4me-at-deichschaf-sims-alphabetical-list#latest. She isn't sure if there will be more broken ones. But she is quite certain the ones on her list will need to be updated.

Just play it safe and make a copy of your entire Sims4 folder. Especially if you created a new save or Sims for GT. It takes only a few minutes to do this, and it could save you from losing corrupted saves and starting over from scratch. Which is a real bummer. I have been rebuilding my entire game since my other laptop died and I lost everything. I'd hate to see anyone go through that when we have been looking forward to this update and EP for years.

I’m hopeful that not too much breaks, CAS-wise. After all, a good amount of pre-toddler CAS cc seems to still work.

so all the wrench mods will break and the ui extender and mcc

They are implementing some kind of change to the way hair colours work, but hopefully it won’t affect cc hairs too much.
