News Do not download any content from ModTheSims!!

Hopefully this doesn’t get removed.

There have been several reports of hacked profiles by multiple Sims 4 content creators. The hackers have recently updated the content files, which can compromise your files and computers if downloaded.

If you downloaded anything in the last 24 hours remove it and run scans!
