A couple of quick news posts for you!
First, there's an update to weerbesu's UI Cheats Extension this morning. I think the update notification might have been Patrons-only this time, so just making sure you all know. Weerbesu says this about the upd...
2023-10-13 12:20:27 +0000 UTC View PostHey, Patrons and followers! Time to back up your Saves! It’s patch time. Today’s game update, 1.101, is mainly to prepare for this week’s new Stuff Pack (waffles!).
This is also the day that Broken/Updated Mods and CC is moving to AHQ.

Hi, Patreon followers! Luth here with big news.
Five years ago, Maxis consolidated player-to-player Sims 4 support at EA's Answers HQ (AHQ), moving it off the Sims 4 Forums. Now the same is happening with mod news. Beginning at the next patch, my Broken/Updated Mods & CC list will be moving to EA's 2023-09-23 12:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post
Yesterday broke very few mods, and those are now updated. But there's a remaining issue: The updated Color Sliders - More Columns Compatible (thepancake1 and MizoreYukii) and updated More Columns in CAS (weerbesu) are reported to be NOT compatible, causing the same issues as these mods did pre-update. If you've updated your mods and ar...
2023-09-06 12:39:41 +0000 UTC View PostSounds huge, right? But it's really not. If it were me, there'd be all sorts of huge cool new game features. But it's actually a very small patch preparing for two Kits that launch Thursday. Regardless, back up your saves! It's always better than not.
The previous Broken/Updated...
2023-09-05 17:09:57 +0000 UTC View PostTo see the fix on your end, do an EA App Recovery:
NOTE: If you still have issues, try also restarting your computer. Or go for a walk and try App Recovery again in a while; the fix may still be rolling out....
2023-08-21 15:49:34 +0000 UTC View PostThis morning there is a problem with the EA App that's preventing Sims 4 from launching.
UPDATE: This is now the thread for this issue: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports-Technical-Issues/Cannot-download-The-Sims-4...
2023-08-21 13:15:30 +0000 UTC View PostHere's a different one for you? Do you use lighting mods? The patch today auto-repaired game files, so reinstall them. Some may not need reinstalling, but many will, and it can't hurt to reinstall them. If your lighting mod is suddenly not working, in any case, it's probably not broken -- just needs reinstalling as it ...
2023-08-03 21:21:58 +0000 UTC View PostI hope this one didn't catch you off guard today, but I don't expect it to break much. If you haven't yet, though, back up your Saves. The patch notes for this bugfix patch are at https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/1...
2023-08-03 17:41:28 +0000 UTC View PostCourtesy of the EA Creator Network, I have one copy of the Horse Ranch EP to give away! And since my home for my Mod reports is The Sims 4 Forums, I'm running the contest there.

It's not your mods or CC! It's because you don't own the Werewolves pack. If you see this, please add a "me too" in AHQ: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Missing-Face-Presets-No-Werewolf-Pack/td-p/12761467
2023-07-20 20:26:13 +0000 UTC View PostOver on the Forums, you'll find lots of items listed broken and updated, plus a few obsolete and some cleared mods. This patch didn't break many things badly. But it did throw a small curveball to modders ... by fixing a typo.

Hey, all! I've decided that I'm done with Twitter. This means that you will be seeing somewhat more from me here on Patreon, and the same over on my Tumblr. I'm also active on the Sims After Dark and Deaderpool Discord servers.

2023-05-30 17:12:53 +0000 UTC View PostHey, all! It's back-up-your-Saves time. With some luck, a couple of pesky bugs are squashed with today's patch. Nothing more than that is anticipated, given we just had a patch a couple weeks ago. This one might do nothing more than make faces look normal close-up again. No new Broken Mods thread.
2023-04-26 17:09:34 +0000 UTC View PostBack up your saves, of course, but I'm not expecting anything nearly as dramatic as the Infants patch. If you've been holding off on patching, do catch up on what's broken, updated, bugfixed, cleared, and not cleared from the Infants patch 2023-04-18 17:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post
Today's hotfix for The Sims 4 addressed the tooth-glitch problem. The patch notes indicate no other fixes, for those of you concerned about my earlier post re. the added traits and cas.fulleditmode.
The only known impact of this patch for your mods is to make Losing Tooth Visual Glitch Fix by thunder1143 outdated. Please remove this bug-fix mod.&...
2023-03-24 22:05:56 +0000 UTC View Post** UPDATE #2: No, this isn't an EP bug. It's a patch bug. Delaying getting the EP will not help you avoid this bug.
* UPDATE! This bug can also happen without cas.fulleditmode if you try to edit traits on Gallery Sims who had an extra trait.

2023-03-24 13:34:54 +0000 UTC View PostThe break was good. The Infants are adorable! And thank you to new Patrons! Keeping up these lists is very time consuming, and your support genuinely helps.
I've posted a catch-up list on the Forums in a comment at https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/disc...
2023-03-21 15:28:45 +0000 UTC View PostHi, all! Along with the support people at Sims After Dark and Deaderpool, I'm taking a couple of days off support posting. We all really need this break. Thank you to those of you who have been respectful of our processes and supportive of our morale. Unfortunately, not everyone is, and between the time itself and that, we're all kinda beat. We'll see you again sometime Tuesday. In the meantime...
2023-03-19 01:26:41 +0000 UTC View PostSo many mods. Lots more confirmed broken. (Remember: If it's not cleared or updated, presume it's broken anyway.) Some that were confirmed broken now cleared. Lots of cleared mods, and lots of updates, including Language Barriers, MC Command Center (a hotfix - there are definitely still issues), weerbesu mods, tons of LittleMsSam mods, and many more popular ones. CC u...

2023-03-02 13:34:03 +0000 UTC View PostI wanted to let Patrons and Patreon followers know that the current SimGuru/Maxis Info thread, for the upcoming EP, is the last one of those that I'll be doing.
When I started doing the Info threads, nobody else was gathering info into one place. SimGurus weren't posting only on Twitter but also all over the official Forums, sometimes when you weren't expecting it. And a
