April 28th @ 7:48pm → Came back to see EA released a patch earlier today. Luckily, my vacation ended today, I just didn’t plan to update the list the same day I got home….I need travel rest EA!! I’ll update what I can tonight and finish up everything else tomorrow as I regularly planned.
Thankfully just a hotfix patch, so statuses will NOT be reset to Unknown.
April 26th → Mod List updates are now PAUSED until Wednesday, April 29th (going on a mini-vacation)! Happy Simming!
→ PSA: Rash of “AI Slop” Community Tools announcement from TwistedMexi (discord). I’ve been wanting to put a warning like this out for a while as well, but TwistedMexi worded it a lot better (and nicer) than I would’ve (thanks TwistedMexi).
Rule of thumb – If you don’t see these downloadable mod managers in my Program list, it’s because there’s too many red flags and should be avoided. The best mod manager will always be YOU.
Warning: Some custom careers (not all) are causing LEs when using interactions that bring up the sim picker. If you’re experiencing this issue with any of your careers (after school activities included), please submit a broken mod report! More info for creators (thanks OneMoreKayaker)
Feb 16th update: Core Library (by Lot 51) was updated to include a hotfix for this issue. So, you can install Core Library alongside your custom careers to continue using them for now. It’s still recommended that creators update their careers for these changes to avoid potential issues.
These mods will still be listed as Broken (or N/A if the creator decides to rely on the hotfix) until their included career tunings are changed to 32 bit instances (or EA reverts/fixes the change).
After updating these careers, you’ll have to have your Sim rejoin and cheat their promotion by using MCCC or UI Cheats.
