Previously Broken Sims 4 Mods and CC
ABOUT THIS TOPIC THESE LISTS COVER: Mods and CC broken before patch 1.121 (February 3, 2026) and that don’t have an update available. The lists here are selective! They do not include 18+ mods, paywalled content, mods/CC that obviously break trademark or copyright rules, or some other categories discussed in the current Broken/Updated Mods & CC topic. (NOTE: I may start including some of those but not listing them after they're updated. Still considering that.) They also do not include some especially old mods and CC. For gameplay mods, unsupported and obsolete mods are included as well as broken ones. For CAS and Build/Buy CC, only broken mods are included. The lists don’t include everything a player has reported broken: many player reports don’t have any detail about what broke or about how they tested to find out the problem was that particular mod For some items in the lists, symptoms are given. For a symptoms-focused resource, see the Mod and CC Common Issues and Known Causes master post. REMEMBER: You can’t rely only on other people to know what’s broken in your Mods folder. Learn how to test your mods. INDEX Gameplay mods Selected known issues Broken/unsupported/obsolete (multiple posts: sort just below this post by Oldest and scroll down) CAS CC Build/Buy CC

Game Rejecting Every Single Mod/CC [de4ee14f:29f00e76:00000000:4b0d852b]
Hello, my little sister just got into The Sims 4 game recently. She has been playing the game with no Mods or CCs. When she adds even one CC or Mod file, regardless of it being the latest, the following dialog box pops up and the game can't run: "Cannot start because game data is missing or damaged. If you have Mods installed, please remove them and try again. If not, please repair or reinstall the game via Origin. [de4ee14f:29f00e76:00000000:4b0d852b]" We have tried all the solutions as suggested by various online forums (As well as EA forums); from creating a new folder, repairing the game, redownloading the game, to changing user access controls and so many more. But it still persists to no avail. She downloaded the game from the official EA app and website. In the country she currently resides in, she uses VPN. Does anyone please know what could be the cause and how we could fix it? We will really appreciate it.

Claims at least 2 mods are missing
Everytime I load into the game, it works perfectly fine but when I go into CC, it claims one or a few CC is removed and that one Aspiration has also been removed however all of my mods including the clothing thats missing are in my mods folder and are up to date as far as I know. I've reinstalled and it still says the same thing, I have script mods enabled including custom content and mods. Update: Just noticed a lot of my CC specifically clothing are missing entirely Another update: Whenever Im currently on a sim I've selected if I click the same Sim to have them do something themselves or to pull up a mod, the options do not appear but do appear when I click on a different Sim while on the same Sim that I tried to have do something on their own.

CURRENT ISSUE! Malicious Script Mods and Other Malware
CURRENT INCIDENT: Malicious ts4script files in multiple compromised accounts on Mod the Sims and an 18+ site, beginning March 1, 2026. Posts with full details: March 1, morning March 1, afternoon March 2 Multiple Mod the Sims accounts compromised. Malicious ts4script files have been uploaded to multiple mods, including to mods/CC that should not have one. Delete immediately and run a full-system malware and virus check. 18+ website also compromised. If you have recently downloaded an 18+ mod from an 18+ website and you don't use ModGuard, check if you've been infected with malware: Look in your Sims 4 install location for a file called "out.exe" (or "out" if extensions are hidden). Do not run the file. Do this: Delete the file Delete recently downloaded 18+ mods Empty your Recycle Bin to permanently delete them Run a full virus and malware scan Change your passwords See see the section in How to Use Mods and CC about "Safe Simming" for advice on how to avoid downloading compromised files. Download TwistedMexi's Modguard mod (from his website or Curseforge) to help protect you from the file you thought was okay, even after being cautious. ***************************************************************************************** January 2024 Incident Beginning as early as mid-January 2024, we began seeing Sims 4 script mods with malicious executable .exe code hidden in them. The mods masqueraded as being from existing creators or from a brand-new creator with a name similar to an existing one. In one known case, it appears that a creator’s account was hacked to update the creator’s own mod page. These mods also presented themselves as being previously existing mods. (Mac users: Because this is .exe code, it won’t affect you, but may produce LEs.) Mods known to have been compromised "PimpMySims4" (impersonated) – Cult Mod – was on Mod the Sims; now removed MySims4 – "Social Events - Unlimited Time" – was on Curseforge; now removed MSQSims (hacked) – on The Sims Resource, Feb. 5-8; all removed Mood Cheat Menu Motherlode Menu Seasons Cheat Menu Weather Forecast Cheat Menu PlayersWonderland (hacked) – Mouth Preset N16 ts4script file – on The Sims Resource, now removed V1 of an adult mod, with a January file date – on LoversLab How to check your system for the January 2024 malware To see if your system has been affected by the malicious code: select Windows-R In the window that opens, type this: %AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\UserData In the folder that opens, look for files called Updater.exe and/or Main.exe. If you are affected If you had one of these files, assume that any sensitive data on your PC may be compromised and take the steps below: Clear your system for this specific virus. (See below.) This must be done FIRST. If you have the Discord app or a cryptocurrency wallet app, uninstall them. This is important if not obvious: Starting these can trigger an attempt to reinstall this malware. Change your passwords. Add two-factor authentication where available. If you had saved credit card or similar information to a web browser, remove it and find out from your financial institution (or other relevant site) what action to take next. Reinstall Discord and cryptocurrency wallet apps from fresh downloads. Learn more about keeping your data secure in the future: https://answers.ea.com/t5/EA-Services-General-Questions/Answers-HQ-Online-Security-Newsletter-January/m-p/13449052/thread-id/447422 To clear your system: Download this fix created by Maxis mod-host partner Curseforge: SimsVirusCleaner Double-click the SimsVirusCleaner.exe file in your Downloads folder tor run it. This is a good time to run a general virus/malware scan on your computer. More things to know Curseforge and The Sims Resource updated their file screening for this method of malware inclusion. Type of mods affected: The least likely mods to be affected were mods that are only .package files and mods uploaded by mod creators on Patreon or their own sites. Most Sims 4 mods are not script mods and aren’t doing anything requiring a ts4script file. Downloaded folders: Assume that any folder containing a collection of mods might include a compromised mod containing code that can steal your passwords, your banking info, and much more. Do NOT download and install these collections. If you have done so at any time since mid-January, check your system. New prevention/detection Sims 4 tool: TwistedMexi released a tool called ModGuard. April 2024 Incident [April 7, 2024] Malware via a mod that downloaded as only a text file with a link. Known cases: "S4 CAS Tools" on Nexus from user fubruss (the real mod is on Mod the Sims, from the late CmarNYC, dated 18 March 2023) “Loading Screen Randomizer” on Nexus from user fubruss (the real mod is on Mod the Sims, from Tesuto , dated 9 January 2024) Do NOT follow the links in text files. Do NOT download other files or follow links from this user. No legitimate mod download will EVER consist of only a text file (a file ending in .txt). If you downloaded either of these, delete them and run a virus scan. NOTE: This type malware does NOT require that you run the game for it to install itself, and is not what ModGuard is designed to detect and stop. November 2024 Incident On November 5, 2024, on Mod the Sims, someone uploaded malicious versions of at least four mods. Unlike the earlier incident, no new accounts were involved, and one of the accounts breached was TwistedMexi's. No other compromised mods were found. It is not yet known what the effect of any malware included or called up was, so assume it's very bad. What to do If you downloaded any mods with .ts4script files from Mod the Sims on November 5, delete the mod and run a virus scan. If you don't already have it, download TwistedMexi's tool ModGuard. It will not protect against all possible script-file exploits, but it will help. Note that your other system protections cannot see what's in a .ts4script file. April 13, 2025 incident Some SimFileShare CC compromised Do not download mods from SimAndy or TheNinthWaveSim or Pixelunivairse mods/CC from SimFileShare. The accounts are compromised. Files present include an executable (.exe) file presumed to be malicious. If you downloaded files from these creators after about April 11, delete them and run a virus scan The owner of SFS has removed all known compromised files, and SFS is permitting file uploads again. Please remain cautious about what you download, especially files that were updated in early April 2025. March 2026 incident Multiple Mod the Sims accounts compromised. Ts4script files uploaded, including to mods/CC that should not have one. Files contents clearly malicious. If you downloaded any ts4script files from Mod the Sims beginning March 1, 2026, delete immediately and run a full-system malware and virus check. All compromised files have been removed. An 18+ mod-hosting website is also compromised. If you have recently downloaded an 18+ mod from an 18+ website and you don't use ModGuard, check if you've been infected with malware: Look in your Sims 4 install location for a file called "out.exe" (or "out" if extensions are hidden). Do not run the file. Do this: Delete the file Delete recently downloaded 18+ mods Empty your Recycle Bin to permanently delete them Run a full virus and malware scan Change your passwords Current Impact of Incidents on Mod Update News Updates of mods/CC hosted only on Mod the Sims are on pause. - updated March 2, 2026

Bugged or corrupted cc?
Two of my sims kids have had these weird black bars/glitchy patches on their faces and bodies ever since they were infants and i don't know how to remove them. It doesn't show up in CAS, and i don't think it's corrupted CC because other sims have the same CC and look normal in open world. Reloading the game doesn't help and i don't know what to do, i don't want them to look like this forever 😭 I'm hoping it goes away once they're adults, but it if doesn't, how do i fix it?

All of My CCs Don't Show Up
My downloaded CCs all show up in the confirmation list when I first open the game but no matter what I do none of them appear in build mode ever since the February 12th update. I have tried quite literally everything. I have tried turning the CC options on and off again in the settings, restarting the game each time. I have tried renaming the mods folder to make it auto make a new one and transferred the mods back again. I have removed onedrive from my computer sync. I have reset the game cache. I have completely removed the sims 4 folder from the EA folder and wiped my game. All of the files are the correct kind and none of them are in organizational folders within the mods folder that may disrupt it. It's not even just one file that I can troubleshoot to pick out, it's all of them. played on February 8th and it was fine then played again on the 17th and everything stopped working. I do not get it. At all.

game will not load after latest update
this is copy pasted from reddit btw, i made a post on a forum and nobody seemed to know the answer this is actually really stressing me out. i’ve had my save since 2019 and i updated my game. i now cannot load into the game with mods installed. now before anyone says “do 50/50” or “this mod is broken”. guys, i know. i’ve updated all my mods. the game won’t load. i dont even get to the start screen. without mods is fine but takes forever. i literally only put my loading screen in my mods folder. game doesn’t load. when i had a full folder it told me my game was corrupted? i cant play without mods, my game is built on mods. am i gonna have to say goodbye to my 7+ year save? am i being dramatic? has this happened to anyone else? i’m super scared. i’ve put so much time and effort into this save and i obviously love it. i don’t want to lose my game and sims over this. does anyone have a solution
