    Hi @terrbear94 Every patch is different, and will usually affect at least a few mods, EA turns them 'off' automatically at any patch update.  However, ongoing maintenance of mods in your game, is a must. 

    1. It's up to you as a user of them, to remove them from your mods folder and slowly add them back when a game patch occurs, to find problematic/broken mods.
    2. The easiest way is that they are split into subfolders and to add back a few folders at a time to find the culprit interfering with your game.
    3. Check for the updated mods.
    4. Hopefully the broken mod/cc has been updated to be compatible with the game by the artist. 

    More Tips on Maintaining & finding broken mods in your game:>>

    Spoiler
    • Apart from culling your folders one by one, or the  50/50 method, to narrow down the broken cc or mod, that is all you can do, (restarting and checking your game each time) you'll simply need to find the broken mod/cc it and remove it
    • Mods & cc are well known to cause various in-game issues please check for updates to them / where you found them; do this also > after any sims update or adding a game pack,


    • I also use Sims 4 Studio for batch fixes, as it solves a lot of problems in bulk (but not all.) It's also available for Mac. And is updated frequently, with pack relevant bug fixes.

     Let me know if you still have problems.
