Re: [no longer a current issue] many .package mods + cc not loading

I am absolutely LIVID. I just built a massive palace and spent hours setting up my game, only for this "Moola/Marketplace" update to break EVERYTHING.

I'm running a high-end rig with an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti. My hardware is perfect, my settings are correct (Script Mods ENABLED), but your broken engine only loads 1% of my mods.

Is this what we get for your greedy "Marketplace" push? You broke the core functionality of the game just to shove your new currency down our throats. Fix this "Package file loading" bug IMMEDIATELY. This is pathetic for a multi-billion dollar company.

I've been playing a load that is just for testing and do not save, and will need to go in and verify if only a small portion of CC isn't loading. I didn't get any exceptions with my CC but didn't bother looking otherwise. The mods I'm just keeping out for now.
But I did want to say that agree with your take on the "marketplace" stuff... I hated it with TS3 and never purchased anything through it, and it feels weird after 10+ years to start it now with TS4. While I agree that there are plenty of creators out there that deserve recompense, EA should be paying them directly, (because EA has benefited greatly from these folks making the game playable), instead of doing this where the consumer, AGAIN, pays it all. Plus I doubt the pay structure is that 100% is going to those creators, so EA has a heavy thumb in taking what isn't theirs. Compared with TS2 & TS3, the number of packs for TS4 is outrageous. I've been playing since the original was released, have a ton of money already invested in the franchise and I already draw the line at kits. Is this just a bonus that we're paying to Saudi for the likely dissolution of The Sims?
