[OLD] Broken/Updated Mods & CC: March 2023 Infants Patch
There's a newer thread! Head to https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/1008121/broken-updated-mods-cc-april-2023-spring-kits-patch unless you're catching up on the Infants patch. ----- Broken/Updated Mods & CC: March 2023 Infants Patch (and teeth hotfix) This topic is for collecting reports on mod and custom content status after the March 2023 Infants patch and the Growing Together EP launch (and the March 24 teeth hotfix). Most mod updates are reported here; updates that only add a translation generally aren’t. ----- THIS PATCH BREAKS ALL THE THINGS This patch will affect more mods than usual because it’s for a new lifestage, an EP with many new features, and a Live-mode Sim pie-menu reorganization! It will also break door, gate, and baby CC. Many modders have been posting that a lot of their mods will be at least partly broken. *** Assume all your mods broke. *** Add them back when they are cleared or updated. And please be patient and kind while waiting. ----- HELP ME HELP YOU This list takes a lot of time to maintain and is easier to manage if it’s kept to its purpose. DO NOT mention or hint at mods that break Forum rules (NSFW/18+, etc.). Please see below for other content that is also not reported here. “Cleared” reports can ONLY be accepted from modders (or people specifically designated by modders). Please don’t report updates that are still Patron-only. This is not a support thread. If you need help finding out what mod broke, read the lists!, do a 50-50 (see the links list below), then if needed visit one of these Discord support servers: - Sims After Dark server: https://discord.gg/RqPqCdBsdF - Deaderpool server: https://discord.gg/z9qPtWU Don’t ask about what broke or is cleared. If there’s an answer, it’s on page 1. If you use Curseforge and a mod is listed updated here but not there, please be patient. File approvals there happen Sunday through Thursday. Your Curseforge mod updates will show up eventually. If you need to test a mod instead of assuming it broke, fully test mods before you report them broken. For instructions, see the previous mod post linked below. Tell me how the mod is broken and how you tested. I cannot list mods as broken without this. Thank you for helping keep this list working! Your support keeps information flowing to Simmers in many places online beyond here. SOME MODS CAN’T BE DISCUSSED HERE Mods that breaks the T-for-Teen game rating CANNOT be named or discussed in these official Sims forums. It’s against Forum Rules. Some creators of these mods also won’t be reported here depending on how sending you to their content works.

Most mod updates are reported here; updates that only add a translation and non-broken CC updates generally aren't. A few notes to keep this thread helpful for others and manageable for me: This is not a help thread. If you need help finding out what mod broke, read the lists!, do a 50-50 (see later this post for link to instructions), then if needed visit one of the Discord support servers: Sims After Dark: https://discord.gg/RqPqCdBsdF Deaderpool: https://discord.gg/z9qPtWU If you can't use Discord for some reason, this is still not a support thread. Start a new thread. Please don’t report mods as cleared for the patch UNLESS you are the creator or their representive or you have a link to where the creator reported this.

TESTING FOR BROKEN MODS Before reporting a mod is broken, test it: Back up your saves in case you save over or corrupt a favorite file while you’re testing. Remove everything else from your Mods folder. Leave only the mod being tested. This is the only way to be sure that the problem is not a conflict between mods. Delete the localthumbcache file. This step is important because the file holds the memory of mods. If you don’t delete it, you could still just be seeing a mod conflict or different broken mod. Open your game and test to see if the mod is doing what it should. If it’s still broken, please let me know! Tell me how it’s broken and how you tested it, and let the creator know too. To test if a last exception (LE) is being generated and why, you can use TwistedMexi’s Better Exceptions and/or Deaderpool's core MC Command Center files. These files rarely break after game updates. If you need help reading an LE, please head to a Discord server (see below). The Forums are an extremely awkward place for LE support, and this is not a support thread.

[HOW TO] Find and remove bad custom content (CC)
Index What is this thread about What is bad CC? How do I get rid of that CC ? How can I avoid CC I don't want? Where is the CC installed that I see in my game FAQ Disclaimer: All links and tools mentioned in this thread are not supported by EA and you'll be using them at your own risk. What is this thread about? A lot of Households/Sims/Lots contain custom content (CC) that is either bad or that you don’t want. Some of them are very hard to find in the launcher for they look nothing like the picture you see in CAS and unfortunately you can delete them in CAS directly. There are methods, tools and lists around that can help you find and avoid this CC . The intention of this thread is to give you links to those and help you if you have problems understanding them. This thread is not for spoon feeding you every step that has already been stated. If you have trouble understanding something, be specific in your questions. This thread is also for helping you with CC that is not listed anywhere and that you can't find. Please check the available lists first before posting and if you feel up-to it, try the method described below to find out yourself. My time is limited and I have many other projects, so please do me the courtesy and READ before posting. Thank you. Up↑ What is bad CC? Bad CC is Custom Content that harms your game. One should distinguish between unwanted and bad CC. Unwanted CC is CC YOU don't like but others very well might want while bad CC is content no one should use for it can harm your game. There are the following kinds of bad CC: CC that is categorized for too many age groups and both genders CC that is categorized for wrong ages and/or naked CC that crashes/freezes your game CC that causes the blue lot issue Clothing that colors on other parts (only listed in German, see the FAQ for more info) CC that hides in other CC Tight Arms (unsure if still an issue, only in German) CC hair that looks terrible (not listed, FAQ) CC windows/doors that crash the game since LN (not listed) CC that comes with Sims Simply badly done CC (not listed) CC that was made before patch 1.26/Pets and was never fixed (not listed) There's also CC that likes to attach to everything you upload whether you use it or not but there are so many of those that I can't list all of them When putting CC in your game, always remember that corrupt CC can crash your game, slow it down and maybe cause your launcher not to work properly. Up↑ How do I get rid of that CC ? Please refer to this blog post for information on that How to get rid of unwanted Custom Content How to find a certain download in your Launcher Downloads that are attached to Sims directly How to keep a Sim but get rid of the CC it came with Game Help:TS3 Finding Problem Custom Content Up↑ How can I avoid CC I don't want? When you download something from the Exchange, always use the Add To Game button and not Save as. Save as corrupts the thumbnails and you can't install the stuff. Add to Gamewill no longer install the content automatically so you can check it before installing. Check all Households/Sims/Lots before you install them. There's a tool called Custard/CleanInstaller by Delphy that can help you check your stuff. Instructions can be found here: Delphy's Custard For Package-Files there's another tool called Dashboard, also by Delphy that can pinpoint you in the right direction: Delphy's Dashboard Both tools can only help you with some errors. There are many errors that can't be detected. If the tools say it's safe, that isn't necessarily true. Up↑ Where is the CC installed that I see in my game All CC can be found in Documents\ElectronicArts\TheSims3. There are two different kinds of CC. Packages and Sims3Packs. Sims3Packs are the only ones that show up in your launcher. Packages are installed a different way. Please check this thread for details: How-To-Install CC/Mods "The New Way" Guide This thread is mostly about Sims3Packs. Sims3Packs are containers for package files. When you double click on such a file a few things happen: - The Sims3Pack gets copied to the Downloads folder and then shows in Downloads in the launcher - The Package-Files inside (they all have long numbers) get unpacked to the DCBackup folder. They do almost nothing (see FAQ below) - The Package-Files inside get compressed together and installed to the files *.dbc (or *.ebc for Store). Files that are installed here, show up in your Launcher. For further info on your user files, check this: User Files Explained You could, in theory, move the Package-files from DCBackup to the mods folder and use them like package files but a lot of Package-Files are bad for your game performance so if it weren't for the launcher, Sims3Packs are actually better to use than package-Files.

Please keep discussion to reports. Thanks! NOTE: The July patch has been VERY hard on mods. Many, many, many mods are not listed as broken yet because some modders are so busy trying to fix things they haven't provided broken lists or have only noted some key things. Many mods that are not reportable on the Official Forums have MAJOR issues. Please play only with confirmed fine or updated mods. If you play with mods that can't be reported on the forums or that are from modders who have a lot of those mods, please do NOT rely only on the lists here. NOTE: This is not a support thread. If you need help figuring out what broke your game, 1. REMOVE all your mods 2. UPDATE what's updated on this page. For non-game-rated mods, you'll have to find information somewhere else. 3. Check what mods are reported fine by modders. 4. Still have a problem? Head over to one of the Discord servers listed below. GAME-RATED CONTENT ONLY: Mods that breaks the T game rating cannot be discussed or named in these official forums and will not be included in my list. Do not ask about or report on any of them here — it’s against forum rules. There are other places on the internet where things like that can be discussed. Please note that some creators and links are off-limits here as well for this reason. ALTERNATIVES TO HERE: If you prefer Discord for real-time notifications, you can get broken/update info for mods and CC and new bugfix (and similar) mods on Discord on this non-NSFW/T-rated server, which is otherwise primarily for creators: Creator Musings, https://discord.gg/qxz5Kn5 . Unlike here, there we also have updates that are for new mod features or other improvements, including updates to non-broken CC. Creators also post there directly. But it's not a support forum. REPORTING BROKEN MODS: Before reporting a mod is broken, test it: Back up your saves in case you save over or corrupt a favorite file while you’re testing. Remove everything from your Mods folder except the mod being tested and, if you’re looking for a last exception (LE) to be generated, TwistedMexi’s Better Exceptions and/or the core MC Command Center files. If you need help reading an LE, please head to the Deaderpool or Sims After Dark server on Discord. Delete the localthumbcache file. Open your game and test to see if the mod is doing what it should.

These files rarely break after game updates. If you need help reading an LE, please head to a Discord server (see below). The Forums are an extremely awkward place for LE support, and this is not a support thread. An LE report is not enough for most reports. It's an indicator for further testing. TO TEST: Back up your saves in case you save over or corrupt a favorite file while you’re testing. Check that the mod you're suspicious of is the most recent version, is installed properly (in the right-level folder, not two different versions when you're supposed to pick one, not duplicated, following any special installation instructions), and has everything it depends on (packs it needs, other mods it needs. A LOT of mod-related LEs are there because something isn't right about installation and requirements. Remove everything else but the mod being tested (and other files it requires for proper installation) from your Mods folder. Leave only the mod being tested and those other files it needs! This is the only way to be sure that the problem is not a conflict between mods or a misfire by the human-coded mods that interpret game LEs. Delete the localthumbcache file. If you don’t delete it, you could still just be seeing effects of a removed mod that are still in your game. Open your game and test to see if the mod is doing what it should in game. If it’s still broken, TELL ME HOW IT'S BROKEN and HOW YOU TESTED IT. I might ask you to "test vanilla" too. This means testing with NO files in Mods at all, ideally on a new save. Sometimes what seems like a mod problem (or even has an LE saying it might be a mod!) is actually a game problem. Vanilla tests help isolate the problem to the mod. Let the creator know too! They really would rather hear from an actual Simmer who can give them more details than find out second-hand from a broken mod report. In fact, you can tell the creator first and get confirmation from them that it's their mod at issue. Then come back and tell me.

Happy Patch Day.! This topic is for collecting reports on mod and CC status after the November 2017 patch and with the Cats and Dogs EP. Please keep discussion to reports - there's lots of other places for general discussion of mods and updates. Please DO NOT report 18+ mods here! It's not allowed on the forums. NOTE on CC: Most of the problems being reported are from CC, not mods. Please scroll down to check the CC issues! That's a few post down. Maxis is not responsible for patching to fix CC. Head over to Sims 4 Studio: you can fix it yourself. If you've not used Sims 4 Studio before, scroll down on this page - there's a how-to in the CC post. Reminder: Back up your saves before you try testing mods on your own. And please don't assume that only what's listed here is broken, fine, or updated. Check where you got your mods, if at all possible. BUG WARNING Before you play, back up your saves. DO NOT go into build/buy from the world map until after you play a household. Relationships will be wiped. (Fixed by a game update) DO NOT delete Sims. This is probably cause of a major game error. DO NOT travel with Vampires. This can delete Vampire perks.

There are the following kinds of bad CC: - CC that is categorized for too many age groups and both genders - CC that is categorized for wrong ages and/or naked - CC that crashes/freezes your game - CC that causes the blue lot issue - Clothing that colors on other parts (only listed in German, see the FAQ for more info) - CC that hides in other CC - Tight Arms (unsure if still an issue, only in German) - CC hair that looks terrible (not listed, FAQ) - CC windows/doors that crash the game since LN (not listed) - CC that comes with Sims (list to be made) - Simply badly done CC (not listed) There's also CC that likes to attach to everything you upload whether you use it or not but there are so many of those that I can't list all of them When putting CC in your game, always remember that corrupt CC can crash your game, slow it down and maybe cause your launcher not to work properly. How do I get rid of that CC ? Please refer to this blog post for information on that - TUTORIAL: How to get rid of unwanted Custom Content - TUTORIAL: How to find a certain download in your Launcher - CUSTARD: Downloads that are attached to Sims directly - TUTORIAL: How to keep a Sim but get rid of the CC it came with - Game Help:TS3 Finding Problem Custom Content How can I avoid CC I don't want? When you download something from the Exchange, always use the Add To Game button and not Save as. Save as corrupts the thumbnails and you can't install the stuff. Add to Game will no longer install the content automatically so you can check it before installing. Check all Households/Sims/Lots before you install them. There's a tool called Custard/CleanInstaller by Delphy that can help you check your stuff. Instructions can be found here: TUTORIAL: Delphy's Custard For Package-Files there's another tool called Dashboard, also by Delphy that can pinpoint you in the right direction: TUTORIAL: Delphy's Dashboard (not adjusted to the newest version of the tool) Both tools can only help you with some errors. There are many errors that can't be detected. If the tools say it's safe, that isn't necessarily true. Where is the CC installed that I see in my game All CC can be found in Documents\ElectronicArts\TheSims3. There are two different kinds of CC. Packages and Sims3Packs. Sims3Packs are the only ones that show up in your launcher. Packages are installed a different way. Please check this thread for details: How-To-Install CC/Mods "The New Way" Guide. This thread is mostly about Sims3Packs. Sims3Packs are containers for package files. When you double click on such a file a few things happen: - The Sims3Pack gets copied to the Downloads folder and then shows in Downloads in the launcher - The Package-Files inside (they all have long numbers) get unpacked to the DCBackup folder. They do almost nothing (see FAQ below) - The Package-Files inside get compressed together and installed to the files *.dbc (or *.ebc for Store). Files that are installed here, show up in your Launcher. For further info on your user files, check this: Game Help:TS3 User Folders Explained You could, in theory, move the Package-files from DCBackup to the mods folder and use them like package files but a lot of Package-Files are bad for your game performance so if it weren't for the launcher, Sims3Packs are actually better to use then package-Files. If you have any further questions, please consult the FAQ before posting.253KViews2likes1401CommentsBroken/Updated Mods & CC: Snowy Escape: Nov. 2020
Broken/Updated Mods & CC: Snowy Escape: Nov. 2020 This topic is for collecting reports on mod and custom content status after the November 10, 2020, patch and with the Snowy Escape EP. Please keep discussion to reports. Thanks! ***This thread has now been superseded by https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/984645/broken-updated-mods-cc-skin-tones-dec-2020*** GAME-RATED CONTENT ONLY: Mods that breaks the T game rating cannot be discussed in these official forums and will not be included in my list. Do not ask about or report on any of them here — it’s against forum rules. There are other places on the internet where things like that can be discussed. REPORTING BROKEN MODS: Before reporting a mod is broken, test it: Back up your saves in case you save over a favorite file while you’re testing. Remove everything from your Mods folder except the mod being tested and, if you’re looking for a last exception (LE) to be generated, TwistedMexi’s Better Exceptions and/or the core MC Command Center files. Delete the localthumbcache file. Open your game and test to see if the mod is doing what it should. If it’s still broken, please let me know! Include how it’s broken, if possible, and let the creator know too.

If you do, please *repair your game in Origin* after updating, and you may also want to delete the localthumbcache file. As @MizoreYukii says, there should be no effect on mods or CC with this patch.
