Just realized I'd been so busy with post-holiday catching-up that I didn't post this here. Broken/Updated Mods (all SFW!) forums.ea.com/discussions/... SEE ESPECIALLY the post about how Mods + Pack Selection = BAD! Consider that feature as not for typical mod users. Maybe if you're CC-only.
Broken and Updated Sims 4 Mods and CC: 1.117, Aug 19, 2025 Game Update | EA Forums - 12473785
About This Thread This thread tracks Sims 4 mods and CC that have been "broken" or made obsolete by game update 1.117, August 19, 2025, or declared... - 12473785

Sure, it's easier to upload other people's CC and mods with your cute Sim than to make a list. But you, Sim dumper, aren't dealing with the results. Those of us who do support ARE dealing with it. If you make our volunteer job more difficult, I will NOT increase visibility of your content.
The reason a creator gets excluded from the "Updated" lists at the Forums for CC-included Sim dumps is that they cause problems for players, who end up with duplicates and worse.

Today's find for this even had duplicate mods in a single folder of other people's CC with *one* Sim's Tray files.
Sadly, has "extra colors" as a paid membership feature. Added to my "do not post if broken or updated" list for the EA Forums for violation of the EA code of conduct for #TheSims4 creators.

It is, sadly, a long and growing list. Lots of CC-rehosters added lately, who have CC-included Sim dumps.
All Beds Same Energy and Comfort is updated for #TheSims4 EP20 Adventure Awaits. www.curseforge.com/sims4/mods/a...

Gardening Plants: 10 Harvestables / All Seasons / No Glow are cleared for the patch. If you aren't getting any harvestables, please test without - there's a relevant bug report.

Oh yeah. And after doing a run through new posts in Mod Issues... BETTER EXCEPTIONS IS A MOD. You aren't testing mod-free (as far as we're concerned on the Forums) if you didn't remove it.
And another of these. No, you did NOT remove ALL mods and autolights still reset every time you come back to you home lot. After more QA and Bug Reports volunteer time was wasted, I isolated this to the outdated MCCC and it's now in Mod Issues on the Forums.

MCCC IS A MOD. Remove to test.
I know some of you get support on Discord in servers where you're told to leave MCCC or BE in during tests. This does NOT APPLY in Bug Reports, or in ANY "vanilla" mods-related test at the EA Forums... especially after 1.118, when so many of you had problems BECAUSE you assumed MCCC was fine.

Hi Everyone, it's that time again. New EP.
To keep sane, there's currently a few measurements in place in the bug forum: forums.ea.com/idea/the-sim...

Post saying: I only have MCCC or this and that mod WILL be moved to the mods forum. Please test without or post in the mods forum.

Thanks you.

I'm planning some changes to the Sims 4 compiled bug list coming 2026.

I've not made many changes on how it works over the year and a lot has changed since then.

I want to hear your opinion what's missing, what you like and what you don't.

100% agree, but it is what it is...
For those, you'll need to do a search *on the Forums* so you aren't being sent to an archived page. If it doesn't show up, make a new topic.
And those people wasted a whole lot of other people's time trying to replicate their problem. I'm still annoyed at them the next day.
The inventory issue is people using mods that aren't cleared or updated.

And I have no words for how FRUSTRATING it is that people come report "bugs" and claim their bug happened without mods when they actually clearly had mods in.

The game turns your mods off FOR A REASON.

On this note: INVENTORY BROKEN? 99.9% sure you DIDN'T remove your mods. And also, go update MC Command Center. The WORKING version is now 2025.5.1 and is on both Patreon (hours ago) and Curseforge (now).

If you still have broken inventory MCCC 2025.5.1, REMOVE mods that aren't updated or cleared.

Any posts not tested without mods will be booted to the mods forum. There's no such thing as: but I only have this or that mod.

Traffic is insane and I can't deal with this on top of everything.

Do your homework

Hey Simmers! Do you like using different mod sets for different saves, or want to keep an easy way to play your mod-free save temporarily? @crinrict.com has you covered on how to keep and use multiple #TheSims4 user folders.

Tomorrow is EP Patch day. I will be around this time for the patch (not like Gamescom week and the last EP patch) but I need you all to work with me.
- REMOVE YOUR MODS
- Backup your saves
- Test any bugs on vanilla (only resource.cfg in mods)
- Use Search and compiled bug list
A lot of mods still won't be updated till the new pack is out, though.
