Sims Direct forum post with their November 2025 update on their current save file investigations. forums.ea.com/blog/the-sim...

Just deleted another Sims 4 creator from my lists for posting their entire mods folder with their Simdump. They had the nerve to thank one of the creators in their post. Not cool, guys. Don't do this. And SIMMERS! Don't trust mods/CC gotten this way to be working.

Why does #TheSims4 lag sometimes and how can you make it lag less? The Sims team has answers! And some of them are things I did NOT know... forums.ea.com/blog/the-sim... #TheSimsNews

Yeah, it's bad.

I've updated the Sims 4 compiled bug list: forums.ea.com/idea/the-sim... Please be aware that not everything ever reported is on there. Do also use search before creating a new thread. Thanks.

Status for my own mods! All Beds Same Energy and Comfort is UPDATED for patch 1.119: www.curseforge.com/sims4/mods/a... All the Gardening Plants mods are COMPATIBLE with patch 1.119.

Seems nothing major has newly blown up so far (and yes, I'm aware I just jinxed it). Black photos with filters might still be the issue why it's happening. Paintings by ref are just entirely broken. Don't bother making any :D

I love this update.

New thread for black photos: forums.ea.com/idea/the-sim... .. personally can't duplicate this anymore but something (or multiple things) are still triggering it still Separate thread for paintings: forums.ea.com/idea/the-sim... ... this one I can duplicate easily. Without inventory involved.

Notes are live: forums.ea.com/blog/the-sim...

Patch time! Head to forums.ea.com/discussions/... and "follow" for notifications of news. I'll have a first round of Obsolete (and Likely/Partly Obsolete) mods up once the patch notes are out. #TheSims4 #TheSimsNews

On that last point, if you had EVEN ONE MOD in the Mods folder, you need to remove it and try again before reporting a game bug. Yes, that means Better Exceptions and MCCC. Yes, it means mods you can't name on the Forums because they're 18+. No, we don't care if it "worked before." #TheSims4

#TheSims4 bugfix patch incoming Tuesday! Yes, this will impact at least SOME mods: www.patreon.com/posts/142655... #TheSimsNews

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.

The new Sims Helpers Blog in the EA Forums is now live: forums.ea.com/category/the... It's a collection of guides we helpers put together for you. Start here for an overview on what to expect: forums.ea.com/kb/the-sims-...

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.

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. Use this thread: forums.ea.com/idea/the-sim...

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

Please continue to use this thread for blank paintings/black photos: forums.ea.com/idea/the-sim...

If you have stuff from your inventory disappearing after the Sims 4 patch, please use this thread: forums.ea.com/idea/the-sim... Make sure to READ the first post and provide the info asked.

Hey, #TheSims4 mod and CC users! You can follow the NEW patch 1.118 Broken and Updated Mods and CC topic to get notifications of new info sent right to you: forums.ea.com/discussions/...

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.

Thread: #TheSims4

So, everyone is reporting and upvoting Sims Bugs now .. even on threads that need info. Would be nice if you post that info instead of just upvoting Thanks for your help.

Back up your saves in time for the patch THIS WEEK - yes, TWO weeks before the next #TheSims4 EP! Why so early? The bugs team explains: www.ea.com/games/the-si...

It looks like the failed to launch is now a bit of a generic error. Please read this thread: forums.ea.com/discussions/... and post there if you need further help.

We get so many people posting about all the hours and hours they're spending narrowing down broken mods only for them to have been already on the list at the Forums. #TheSims4 players, *** USE THE RESOURCES WE'RE PROVIDING YOU *** And tell your friends. #sims4mods #sims4 #ts4mods

Please use this thread if you have 'Failed to Launch Game'. forums.ea.com/discussions/... Make sure to read the first post #Sims4 #EAapp

Finally had time to watch the trailer and it's SUPER CUTE. It looks like summer camp for kids is there? There's probably blog info on that I haven't had time to check :D Also jellyfish are cool? Kids' games look fun! I might just pretend there's no imaginary friend as I'm still scarred from Sims 3 🙃

And if you have booted back to map AND MODS, you need to be here: forums.ea.com/discussions/...

Last week I tested SO MANY nonupdated #TheSims4 script mods for the EA Forums Broken Mods list, to find causes of broken household loading. I don't have time for extensive testing for the next few weeks, but I'm open to info re. mods YOU isolated, especially older mods. No 18+ mods, please.

Some of you need to hear this for your own sake: BEFORE you start doing 50-50 testing on your mods (or one by one ?!), USE THE AVAILABLE RESOURCES. A mod has often been reported broken before you even loaded your game. This thread is subscribable for update notices: forums.ea.com/discussions/...

Sims Direct just posted a LONG statement about For Rent and save corruption. More in the link below, but here’s the TLDR version: forums.ea.com/blog/the-sim... #TheSims4 🏡

My mods are cleared as compatible with patch 1.117, with no known issues. www.patreon.com/collection/2...

UPDATED: New advice on mods + Pack Selection: *restart required*. Link is to the specific post in my thread. forums.ea.com/discussions/...

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.

Small visual bug in BBB 4.0, it's been patched, please delete and redownload if you see weird chat bubbles and skill bars.

I feel like every single day I need to post a reminder: if you ask an LLM about itself it DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ITS INNER WORKINGS and WILL NOT TELL YOU ANYTHING ACTUALLY ABOUT ITSELF. It just (as it always does) will make up some plausible sounding answer.
