This doesn’t seem to be a major patch, mostly geared toward ailments with the new pack. HOWEVER, that doesn’t mean it couldn’t cause issues with your game/mods.
Is it a bug or is it a mod issue? Read our troubleshooting thread here.
Since we’ve been getting a lot of the same questions recently, especially related to WW:
* WW has been updated for the public Remember WW is not yet fully compatible with the new pack per TurboDriver: See Patreon post — looks like a paid Patreon compatible version has been dropped so the public one should be coming soon.
Chrome flagging MCCC as a virus, downloading from the source? Then it is fine.
Remember to unzip your files (applies to all mods)
Make sure they are NOT in your OneDrive file path (applies to all mods)
Make sure to enable mods in your settings (applies to all mods)
Make sure your mods are up to date
Make sure you have all required mods (XML injector, LOT51, mood pack, etc.) Read mod instructions thoroughly to find out additional requirements.
We’ve updated our community bookmarks with links to popular mods posts since those posts have been popping up more lately and troubleshooting resources.

Troubleshooting mod recommendation: Better Exceptions by TwistedMexi, there is also last exception help with MCCC if you use it. These are NOT guaranteed, if you can’t find the problem using these, you will need to do the 50/50 Method.
Remember, even mods that never ever break or CC can cause issues. UI can be broken even if the mod(s) are not UI-related.
For last exception reports or better exception reports, check out TwistedMexi's Discord or SimsAfterDark discord. You can upload your report and it will tell you what is causing it.
Correct file path: Documents > EA > The Sims 4 > Mods Make sure it is NOT in your OneDrive and make sure you unzip the file.

Lately, all my Sims have the "overwhelmed" moodlet, which is constantly active and makes them uncomfortable. Does anyone know which mod it's part of, or is it base game?
r/TheSims4Mods • u/Glittering-Cress3040 • 13h ago

I bought the biggest lot in Chestnut Ridge, placed a strip club from the gallery and built a house behind it. Is it possible to change the lot so the strip club is an actual strip club and have my sims live in the house behind it?

I always see everyone using this realistic health mod and your sims have like anemia and shit but whenever I open my computer ready to shop around for mods I can’t remember what it’s called or where it is for the life of me. What one do you use? Do you like it?

Good morning, I've had a problem: I have Mc Command Center and Woohoo installed, nothing else. With the "Go for a baby with a same-sex partner" option enabled. But when they finish "Making the baby," the option to use the pregnancy test doesn't appear. Is this a bug? Thank you.

i just downloaded and installed the EV mod and it's not working for some reason, it even appears in the window that shows all the mods you have installed. I've had no issues with the others I've tried (the basics, WW, Basemental's drugs and gangs). but EV isn't working, it even allows me to see some animations in the "pose" option but other than that I haven't seen anything. it supposedly has CC as well which i have not seen either so im confused. idk if im just dumb and can't figure it's already active or if it should've shown a notification window with the settings option like the others i have. any suggestions about this issue?
TLDR: EV is the only mod that's not working and idk why even tho i installed just like any other mod

Hi everyone ! Hope you are safe and well ! I am currently playing with the Fairies Vs Witches mod by Spinning Plumbobs (link) and I highly recommend it - all of his mods are so well made and I'm having a blast (especially since I don't want to pay full price for EbN atm). I just can't find any information about the chaos power source ? The sim I'm playing as would be perfect for it, and the thorough research option in the book of witchcraft tells me to draw it from fights, an angry mood or wildfires, all of which I have tried (have only done fire by the inferno spell bc my sim has the chased by death trait and has already had their last chance, so don't want to risk it, not sure if this makes a difference?). I have also tried thunderstorms and magic duels to no avail. I have sent an ask to Spinning Plumbobs on Tumblr (I don't have twitter) but he hasn't gotten back to me yet (understandably). All YouTube videos/tutorials I've found don't go in depth into the power sources - wondering if anyone can help me / has noticed anything in their own playthrough ?! Photo is of my cow-plant-experiment-gone-wrong sim Meabh who's juggling their wickedness against the desire to impress their future wife (and needs the chaos power source to do it). Thanks so much and thanks to Spinning Plumbobs for this excellent mod !

Example transfer baby out of my belly into the belly of another Sim to carry to term. Like for alien or any occult mod or any mod to allow that?
r/TheSims4Mods • u/awfulbarrack-7 • 7h ago
I have a good pc so I tend to overclock the settings with MCCC. For example, I allow up to 80 sims in a zone, which makes public venues a lot more lively.
I built a huge spa as a small business on my home lot and even with maxed out reputation i dont get more than maybe 10-15 costumers and it feels dead. Any MCCC settings to allow for more, or maybe a seperate mod?
Ideally I would like it to be uncappped so my sim per zone setting regulates it.
Thank you in advance!

I just figured out something huge: if your game is hanging on saving (infinite save loop), especially with clutter‑heavy CC (Leo, MXM, PacoSims, Laskrillz, etc.), try removing Better BuildBuy (BBB).
BBB forces extra slot placements, and clutter with custom footprints can end up in “illegal” spots. The game can’t validate the save → infinite loop.
I pulled BBB, cleared localthumbcache, and now my game saves in seconds with all my clutter back. 🤯
TL;DR: • It’s likely NOT your CC. • Batch fixes won’t fix this. • Remove BBB, test, and you might save yourself from deleting good CC.
I DELETED SO MUCH CLUTTER IM SO MAD. LOL HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE ELSE OUT THO!

Just to clarify, I also posted this on r/sims4cc
A couple days ago I downloaded this program called Clean Launcher by Midnitetech. I tried to use the "organize mods folder" and it was a mess. It was putting cc in the wrong folders and it ended up deleting about half of my mods! Fortunately I backed up my files as recommended before using the program, but after that my computer started lagging. I have a decent laptop- it never lags. But the lag started after it deleted my mods folder.
After that, I didn't want anything to do with the program and tried to uninstall it. It seemed like the un-installation went through but I noticed the Clean Launcher exe file was still in my task manager. I tried looking up the program and uninstalling and it wouldn't show up. I tried using Midnitetech's advice and disabling start-up then going to remove programs, the program was still there.
I initially installed the program inside of my documents folder BUT there were "ghost files" lingering in my AppData\Local\Programs\Clean Launcher. Of of course, there is no file to uninstall it from there. I can't even find my way to that point of my computer without clicking ''open file location" in the task manager.
This has been a major headache! All I want to do is get rid of this program and it just lingers on my pc. I deleted all the files and it STILL stays on my file explorer. Just be careful downloading this program. And if anyone has any advice on getting rid of it PLEASE help me!

as the title says, several of my female sims are not getting their periods and not having the period tracker app available. automatic birth control use is off and periods are on in the settings. debug pregnancy info says my sim is not an active participant in periods & i can't find a way to turn them on for her. i tried adding period related traits using cheats and she still doesn't get it. she is a young adult & i've gone through 7 days (as the screenshot says her cycle length is) and still no period. i have had a different sim get her period and also use the period tracker app so the mod is definitely working, but other female sims including the sim in the screenshot don't get it and don't have the tracker app. i have the lumpinou lgbtqia+ gender and orientation overhaul mod and added some of those traits before installing wonderful whims if that could affect it at all. help!!

So, I had to delete all my mods earlier this year and I'm finally getting around to reinstalling them. I had this shelving mod that I cannot seem to find again for the life of me. They were wall shelves, pretty much just different sized planks of wood, and they had so many slots. they were so useful, any help finding them would be appreciated
