Bugfix Patch incoming!

I hope this one didn't catch you off guard today, but I don't expect it to break much. If you haven't yet, though, back up your Saves. The patch notes for this bugfix patch are at 2023-08-03 17:41:28 +0000 UTC View Post

Giddy-Up! It's a weekend Horse Ranch giveaway!

Courtesy of the EA Creator Network, I have one copy of the Horse Ranch EP to give away! And since my home for my Mod reports is The Sims 4 Forums, I'm running the contest there. 

To enter the contest, you can do one of these two things:

Do you have no face presets in CAS at all?

It's not your mods or CC! It's because you don't own the Werewolves pack. If you see this, please add a "me too" in AHQ: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Rep...

The Patch Day "aventure" Continues!

Over on the Forums, you'll find lots of items listed broken and updated, plus a few obsolete and some cleared mods. This patch didn't break many things ba...

Happy Ceilings Patch Day!

And the pre-patch for the Horse Ranch EP! BACK UP YOUR SAVES before you get in the saddle! As I hit "Send," you've got about 90 minutes to do that...

Where I'm at - and NOT at - on social media now

Hey, all! I've decided that I'm done with Twitter. This means that you will be seeing somewhat more from me here on Patreon, and the same over on my Tumblr 2023-06-21 13:33:20 +0000 UTC View Post

Patch day!

When The Sims announces Thursday Kits on a Tuesday, it must be patch day! 

BACK UP YOUR SAVES.

Patch Day! But expected to be a mini one

Hey, all! It's back-up-your-Saves time. With some luck, a couple of pesky bugs are squashed with today's patch. Nothing more than that is anticipated, given we just had a patch a couple weeks ago. This one might do nothing more than make faces look normal close-up again. No new Broken Mo...

It's Patch Day again!

Back up your saves, of course, but I'm not expecting anything nearly as dramatic as the Infants patch. If you've been holding off on patching, do catch up on what's broken, updated, bugfixed, cleared, and not cleared from the Infants patch 2023-04-18 17:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post

Today's Sims hotfix patch: A Teeth Special

Today's hotfix for The Sims 4 addressed the tooth-glitch problem. The patch notes indicate no other fixes, for those of you concerned about my earlier post re. the added traits and cas.fulleditmode. 

The only known impact of this patch for your mods is to make 2023-03-24 22:05:56 +0000 UTC View Post

UPDATE: Important! New cas.fulleditmode game bug

** UPDATE #2: No, this isn't an EP bug. It's a patch bug. Delaying getting the EP will not help you avoid this bug.

* UPDATE! This bug can also happen without cas.fulleditmode if you try to edit traits on 2023-03-24 13:34:54 +0000 UTC View Post

Catching Up

The break was good. The Infants are adorable! And thank you to new Patrons! Keeping up these lists is very time consuming, and your support genuinely helps.

A Short Break

Hi, all! Along with the support people at Sims After Dark and Deaderpool, I'm taking a couple of days off support posting. We all really need this break. Thank you to those of you who have been respectful of our processes and supportive of our morale. Unfortunately, not everyone is, and between t...

Mods, mods, mods!

So many mods. Lots more confirmed broken. (Remember: If it's not cleared or updated, presume it's broken anyway.) Some that were confirmed broken now cleared. Lots of cleared mods, and lots of updates, including Language Barriers, MC Command Center (a hotfix - there are...

Extra broken: Language Barriers by Frankk

FRANKK SAYS: Critical features in Language Barriers are broken after the patch, and there is a potential issue that I will not be able to fix for you if it occurs in your saves. Please do not play with it until I released an update.

It's Infants Time!

Back up your Saves, pull out your Mods folder, and head to Broken/Updated Mods & CC: March 2023 Infants Patch on the o...

You had questions about the Sims 4 Tray Importer update

... and I asked L'UniverSims.

Q: Is there going to be a Mac update?

A: "The Mac version is ok because it did not include the options that were problematic with the PC version. It is therefore safe and does not need updating."

Q:Why is my antivirus software ...

Update Sims 4 Tray Importer!

Luniversims has updated Sims 4 Tray Importer. It will no longer call at all on the hacked dot-com website. Download the new Sims 4 Tray Importer ONLY here: https://luniversims.fr/files/...

STOP using Sims 4 Tray Importer until update

URGENT: The creator reports a serious hacking problem with their website. Do NOT go to Luniversims-dot-COM. Go ONLY to the .FR site. Do NOT use Sims 4 Tray Importer until you have an updated file. I'll notify you when that's available, with a safe link.

What's upcoming and what isn't

I wanted to let Patrons and Patreon followers know that the current SimGuru/Maxis Info thread, for the upcoming EP, is the last one of those that I'll be doing. 

When I started doing the Info threads, nobody else was gathering info into one place. SimGurus weren't posting only on Twitt...
