MC Command Center Local Help/Chat Thread
Welcome to our NEW MC Help Thread! March 30 Note: Feel Free to JUMP to the Last Page!!! :) (EG) The winds of change are blowing. Deaderpool has some things in the works that are going to make a lot of the posts in the 170+ page original thread pretty obsolete. Time to give our hangout spot here a facelift. I'm wanting to make it mostly Players Helping Players, but, there's got to be a little room for chatter, too. Brief game updates. Cool things you've done with MC. Things like that. Feel free to join us! If you play with MC, or you might be interested in playing with MC, I'd love to hear from you. ;) I have more to do here, which I'll get to later. Sleep > everything else, right now (12 hours in 4 days). But, I *did* want to get this new thread rolling first. rosemow luthienrising (Just FYI, ladies. ;) ) This post will probably be edited later.

[OLD] Broken/Updated Mods & CC: July 26 '22 High School etc. Patch and August Patches
Broken/Updated Mods & CC: July 26 '22 Sexual Orientation/High School etc. Patch and August Patches ----- This thread is superseded by https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/1003466/broken-updated-mods-cc-sept-13-2022-patch/ ----- This topic is for collecting reports on mod and custom content status after the July 26, 2022, Sexual Orientation/High School etc. patch, the August 2 hotfix patch, and the August 30 patch. 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. Please don’t ask about mods. If there's an answer about the mod or modder, it's on page 1. DO NOT mention or hint at mods that break Forum rules (NSFW/18+, etc.). Fully test mods before you report them broken (instructions below). When you report them broken, tell me how they are 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. GAME-RATED CONTENT ONLY 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. Please see creators’ own social media. Also not listed: Mods/CC by people who copy other people’s mods/CC, copy other companies’ copyrighted content or trademarks, pirate software or openly support software piracy, do not release free public updates within a reasonable time (3 weeks for CC), or are otherwise not in compliance with EA's policy on mods. 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.

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.

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.

***If you have something to post, please use the current thread, not this one*** Broken/Updated Mods & CC: June ’20 Eco Lifestyle Patch This topic is for collecting reports on mod and CC status after the June 2020 pre-Eco Lifestyle patch and with the Eco Lifestyle EP. Please keep discussion to reports. Thanks! IMPORTANT NOTE: 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. Personal Note: I’m “in” lectures four times a week right now (Calculus and Stats, if anyone’s interested). I’ll keep this list updated as frequently as possible, but just wanted to note this. FAQ Q: Is this particular mod broken/working? A: Is it a mod that would break the game rating? Nobody can answer that here. Is it on page 1, reported broken by a Simmer after the list was last updated, or reported compatible by its creator since the list was last updated? If not, then I don’t know. Q: Why is there a section for mods reported fine by the modder but not by players? A: Because a mod that seems to be working for you might still be broken in a way you haven’t yet seen. Q: When will that person update their mod? I can’t play without it! What am I supposed to do?! A: They’ll update it when they can, plus some prefer to wait for a pack to be actually out. Please don’t pressure the creators — it’s not going to make them update faster. Go for a walk, get a whole lot of housework over with, read a book, or play a different game. Q: My Sims are shiny. What’s causing that? A: For shiny Sims, start by eliminating skins and skin details. Generally speaking, though, if your Sims are looking all weird, some CC is broken. Q: Why does Maxis always break things?! A: Mods and CC speak to the game code. If the part of the code they speak to is changed by a bug fix or new feature, thos mods and CC can no longer speak to it. Maxis provides a lot of support to modders and CC creators, but the only way they could not break mods and CC would be by not updating/patching the game. By choosing to use mods and CC, you accept risks, including that your (unofficial) add-ons may become noncompatible. Q: Mod X has an update but you haven’t listed it. Why not? A: Either I didn’t know yet or the update is not to fix a broken mod or to include new pack/patch-related content.

Please keep discussion to reports. Thanks! Lists of what’s currently broken and what’s been updated are below, on this page. But first an important message and some FAQs. IMPORTANT NOTE: 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. FAQ ** NEW ** Q: How often do you update this thread? A: I update with new posts as I get info in, so if you follow the thread, you should get Forum notifications. Updating p. 1 happens less frequently because, frankly, it’s a bit of a pain. Please assume that it’s at most daily. ** NEW ** Q: I’m not on the Forums regularly and I want push notifications. Is there somewhere else I can get updates? A: Yes! I post 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 I also post updates that are for new mod features or other improvements, including updates to non-broken CC! Creators can also post there directly. If you’re on Deaderpool’s server, news about the more popular mods gets posted there, including by creators. For new pack-related CC, one option (Maxis match only) is the Discord server #S4MM, which has pack-specific categories: https://discord.gg/N5ucCPt ** NEW ** Q: Is there a list somewhere with all the older broken stuff on it? A: Yep! Check out Simsonic’s Mod Tracker: https://simsonic.weebly.com/modtracker.html. **NEW** Q: I want to report a broken mod. A: That’s not a question, but here’s what you need to know anyway: 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. **UPDATED** Q: Mod X has an update but you haven’t listed it. Why not? A: I might just not have known yet. I might have posted it to the thread but not gotten around to updating p. 1 yet. Or it’s an NSFW/18+ mod and it is not allowed to be mentioned on the official Forums. Or the update is for some reason other than to fix a broken mod or to include new pack/patch-related content, in which case, see above for where I post on Discord. Q: Is _________ mod broken? A: Is it a mod that would break the game rating (that is, it’s NSFW/18+)? Nobody can answer that here on the official Forums. Is it on page 1, reported broken by a Simmer after the list was last updated, or reported compatible by its creator since the list was last updated? If not, then I don’t know. Q: Why is there a section for mods reported fine by the modder but not by players? A: Because a mod that seems to be working for you might still be broken in a way you haven’t yet seen or can’t see without looking at the code. Q: When will such-and-such update their mod? I can’t play without it! What am I supposed to do?! A: They’ll update it when they can, plus some creators prefer to wait for a pack to be actually out or have to wait until a tool they use has been updated. Please don’t pressure the creators — it’s not going to make them update faster. Go for a walk, get a whole lot of housework over with, read a book, play a different game, or start up a temporary, while-you-wait save. Q: My Sims are shiny. What’s causing that? A: For shiny Sims, start by eliminating skins and skin details. Generally speaking, though, if your Sims are looking all weird, some CC is broken. Q: Why does Maxis always break things?! A: Mods and CC speak to the game code. If the part of the code they speak to is changed by a bug fix or new feature, thos mods and CC can no longer speak to it.

Broken/Updated Mods & CC: Island Living + June 2019 patch This topic is for collecting reports on mod and CC status after the June 2019 Island Living patch and with the Island Living EP. Please keep discussion to reports. Thanks! NOTE: Mods that breaks the T game rating cannot be discussed in these official forums and will not be included in the lists in this topic. Please 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. ALSO: Why is there a post for mods reported fine by the modder not by players? Because a mod that seems to be working for you might still be broken in a way you haven’t yet seen. A Note for New Players It’s a normal thing that a lot of mods and custom content (CC) “break” at patch time, especially patches before new packs, especially especially patches before EPs. This is because some game code that they “speak” with has been changes, so the mod/CC code also needs to be changed. Here’s what you need to know: Turn off automatic patching. You do this in Origin so that you always know before it happens. That’s so that you can... Back up your saves and remove your Mods folder before you patch your game. For the saves, this is so that you have a copy in case you end up with a corrupted save at some point. For the mods, this is so that nothing untoward happens in patching. Admittedly, many players risk leaving the Mods folder in while they patch because... The game will turn your mods and CC off. Your safest option is to not enable mods & CC in Game Options until after you have checked that everything you have is compatible, whether because it’s been announced by the creator as compatible or because it’s been updated. Do not save with missing or turned-off CC. If you do this, you will have lots of bald, naked Sims when you load after re-enabling mods and CC. Both here and at SimsVIP, you will find lists of what’s broken, what’s reported fine by the creator, and what’s been updated. My list and SimsVIP’s have different formats and coverage. Please use whatever works for you! You can also get support at @Deaderpool's Discord server. If you need to test your mods and CC yourself because something not reported yet seems to be a possible issue for you, use the Broken Mods & Tools Updated Mods & Tools Mods & Tools Confirmed by the Modder as Fine Mods No Longer Needed New Mods of Particular Interest for the Patch/Pack Broken CC Updated CC A Personal Note I’ll be visiting my parents on the Saturday & Sunday after the pack launches, but I’ll steal borrow a computer and try to keep up on mod issues. Updated! This thread will not be updated by me on Saturday the 22nd. Have to go rescue an aching, unable-to-drive husband from across the province and drive the car home. I'll let you all know when I'm back if I'll be able to update Sunday, because this will shift that day's plans too.167KViews1like741Comments
