Bonehilda wants to revenge
The Infants/Growing Together patch on Tuesday, March 14, will break a lot of mods and custom content. Some of what Tuesday's patch will break:
door, gate, baby, and bassinet CC
custom traits, aspirations, and preferences (likes/dislikes)
mods that change CAS-mode UI
mods that add to Live-mode Sim pie-menu subcategories, such as new or moved "Friendly" or "Mean" interactions (because this patch reorganizes the pie menu)
I'll have a new Broken Mods thread up Tuesday and will post a link to it here.
To prepare for the patch, back up your saves! (This is a good thing to do now and then anyway.) If you'd rather play your current save while you wait for creators to clear and update content, you can turn off automatic updates in the EA app and in Origin. If you're having issues with the EA app, Crinrict has posted FAQs about the EA app and about Sims 4 in the EA app.
First Call, Sims 4 Infants Patch is Coming Soon!!

It's almost time, the Infants are Coming!! Before the patch on March 14 breaks mods and custom content in preparation for the March 16 Sims 4 Growing Together expansion pack, I thought I'd run through a few things you'll need to know about, ahead of time.
When you load up after the patch, Mods and CC are going to be disabled by EA. This is fine, we're expecting a lot of things to break, and this time, it most likely will include MCCC.
We on Deaderpool's Discord recommend taking all of your mods/cc OUT, not leaving them sitting "turned off" (disabled) in your Mods folder. There's no guarantee the game can't see them anyway, so for the cleanest test, we always say to move the files out into a folder on the Desktop. You need this "game only" benchmark to see how things are supposed to behave, or to see if what isn't working properly is a problem in the game code, itself.
Most of the time, we would actually recommend a "mc-vanilla" test, which means to ONLY leave MCCC in your mods folder... but in the case of a Big Patch, until Deaderpool has a chance to evaluate (and hotfix) MCCC for code changes that might cause the mod to give you unexpected issues in game, "true vanilla" (mod/cc free) would be where to start testing.
By the way, if you need help getting your files organized ahead of the patch, you can find a downloadable Mods folder template here, courtesy of Shino Nox.
Without benefit of MCCC's mc_lastexception.html error file to help dig for errors, once you have your game-only test run completed, the next thing to do would be a 50/50. Make a copy of your save file, to safeguard against accidentally saving while your mods and cc are not in the game. (Don't worry, if you DO happen to save your main file this way, just come right away and ask us on Discord how to recover from it.)
One tip we've learned over the years is that you might be able to rule out entire sections of files with two basic tests:
One test with all of your cc & no mods (except MCCC, as long as it's working properly)
One test with all of your script/game-changing mods, and none of your extra custom content. (You would need to keep all of a mod's pieces together, both ts4script and package files.)
If either test results in any kind of error, you'll need to drill down through those files with the 50/50 technique, to find what's broken.
Luth's forum posts and Scarlet's mod list are both excellent resources. You may notice I'm not linking to any specific forum post. The reason is, Luth/luthienrising starts new patch threads in the section I did link, as needed. You'll be able to spot it once she has created it.
Last month, our team on Discord celebrated our sixth anniversary of helping players. Don't panic once the patch is live, just swing by and see us for help. If you can't get in, because you've been banned for some reason, our appeal process is outlined here.
Most questions you might have are probably answered in the #server-info channel. PLEASE read it, before approaching us in support. It will make everything easier, for both of us.
Thanks for your time, and, good luck with the patch!!

talk about comfort characters. she is one of my all-time favorite fictional characters, she makes me so nostalgic and happy & she and simon are a permanent god tier ship for me ❤️
i could write an actual essay about how this dress symbolizes her reclaimed girlhood and how the first 2 pics are more like the izzy she presents and the third is her vulnerable inner self we see mostly through simon’s eyes throughout the series–
ps i have never seen the show, this is how i always pictured izzy reading the books! & i use stand-in normal tattoos bc i’m not fond of the available rune cc

the sims team really took the community wanting adult hairs to be converted for kids and toddlers as an excuse to not give us any new child/toddler hairs….
alright i’m asking for help because this month hit me like a bus
both of my cats are sick
cant find a cardiologist near me and i need refills on my heart meds desperately but no one will accept me without a referral which my doctors are refusing to do because i haven’t seen them in a year so ill have to go to urgent care to get a refill and a referral which is $149 downpay
rent is due and i’m $100 short
i dont have enough money for the bus route let alone uber
i have a $16,000 medical bill that is now in debt collection and they are calling me everyday :D
I start my new job soon and I will no longer need help, but I genuinely need help this one last time. I’m on my own for the first time ever and I feel like a lost puppy.

hey, im ada (she/her), and this is my third attempt at simblr!!
i’ve tried joining simblr before but stopped posting after a while, but i think this time i will actually commit lol…
i don’t have any friends who play sims and explaining your deep emotional attachment to pixels and the screenshots of them kissing in your folder to non-players is, um, awkward to do. so i really hope to find a community here!
i will be posting mainly gameplay (already have a post queued up) and cas-related posts as well. i might try a story but i physically do not have the strength for that rn.
i do have periods of time where i am extremely unmotivated so posting may be sporadic lmao and if i feel like it i might also do wcifs.
if anyone sees this please like and reblog this post so more people can find it! okay bye 🤩🤩
grow your own garden. don’t look at others. you don’t need to plant the same flowers to have a beautiful one.
