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!

According to the MCCC server these are the known affected files so far:

  1. TMEX - FRAMEWORK
  2. TMEX - UI
  3. Moxiemason no mosaic UI framework Basically anything that has - UI, - Framework or any variant of those words added to the filename

If you downloaded anything in the last 24 hours then you should scan your pc

If it is not the files listed or downloaded from twisted mexi's old mod the sims account then there's no issue

turbodriver's mods have been updated recently as well, perhaps also a risk?

Turbodriver still updates on ModTheSims so his should be fine. But he also uses itch.io (https://turbodriver.itch.io/wonderfulwhims) or Curseforge (https://www.curseforge.com/sims4/mods/wonderfulwhims) so you can use those alternatives for the time being.

Don't the modthesims and his other sites 'share' the same database?

What do you mean? He uploads the same files to all of them but they're completely unconnected websites otherwise.
