FILE REMOVED AS THIS VERSION IS OLD. ALWAYS FIND THE LATEST VERSIONS VIA https://TwistedMexi.com 

New in v2.03:

Fixed an issue where the manual patch day scanner would not work unless you triggered an exception first.

Fixed "fallback" scanner not always finishing the report. This is the scanner that runs when the household fails to load entirely.

I do heavily recommend watching the video above if you're unfamiliar with BE or are confused about the new Patch Day feature.

⚠ Install instructions have changed from my previous downloads! ⚠

Refined Broken Script Messages: If a script is newer than the python version upgrade date, but still using incorrect python formats, the message will now be an informational "Mod Author needs to update to .pyc standard" instead of the technically incorrect advice to remove the mod.

Better detection of Animation Errors: When the exception is caused by an animation error, it's usually ignorable and there's no advantage to scanning and generating a BE Report. Instead you'll get a notification that gives you the option to scan if you'd like.

Scanning Dialog Can Now Be Closed: If players had unlucky timing, they could end up causing the scan dialog to get stuck on screen. For this reason, I've added a close button. It should be noted that if BE is actually still scanning and not frozen, closing this dialog will not stop the scan and your game may appear sluggish until it's complete.

Help & Resources Updated: The General Exception link has been updated to go to Sims After Dark, where many of them same bots and helpers you're used to can now be found.Here's the invite if you'd like to go ahead and join.

Installation:

The mod is now inside a zip. On Mac it may automatically be removed from the .zip when downloaded.

To install, open the zip below and drag the tmex-BetterExceptions.ts4script below to your Mods folder.Do not open or unzip the .ts4script file.

2026-09-05 06:00 Why does the cc finder not work with vampires dark form? It shows me the regular outfit instead of the dark forms outfit. Any help would be really appreciated, thank you!!

Hello, I keep getting an error for outfit_tracker every time I want my sims to go to work (resulting in them staying at home and refusing to go) and when I click 'try on outfits' in the mirror. It has never happened before updating my game for the Horse Ranch EP and now I can't play normally. Any idea what might've caused it? EDIT: The reason is stated as following: Exception in Sim Timeline: Exception running Element (AttributeError: 'Species' object has no attribute 'asm_key') EDIT 2: Managed to fix by deleting the following mods: fashion authority, thrift store dress normal, no outfit changing and all KS mods. i dont know which one specifically was the issue but if someone is having the same problem that might fix it!

Just out of curiosity I have Better Build Buy V2.2 can I install this as well or is it already included?

TwistedMexi

Better Buildbuy is the "bundle" of all of my buildbuy mods (expandable, buildcam, organized debug). You can have Better Exceptions too since it's a troubleshooting mod, not a buildbuy one. 😊

Marie Duran

Thanks for working so hard at keeping up with these mods!!! You are the best!!

BlackPiano

Not working for me...I'll check on discord.

Love You Lottss!

Syele

thanks so much for this!! FOr the first time ever it didnt take me weeks to update my mods folder. :)

Dannielle cobb

so does better exceptions tell you if any of your mods are not compatible as well as errors and broken mods?

TwistedMexi

The only way to know if a mod is incompatible is that it will throw an error. The Patch Day Scanner in BE is much more critical and will list any and all mods with tuning that doesn't match the current game version. That's about as close as an incompatible scan as you can get, but it doesn't guarantee the mod won't work at all.

TwistedMexi

We can help more in my discord server if you need to, but the options should be in your BE welcome notification. In general you should never need to scan manually. It happens automatically when your game encounters an exception.

2026-09-05 06:00 I Like it, But it Wont Detect What Mod is Messing up my UI And I Already Removed MCCC. I Really Wanna Know And it Already Detected 2 Broken Mods so it is Working. I'm Still Waiting For That MCCC Update.

UI mods don't throw regular exceptions so BE won't trigger. If you go to help and resources on your BE report there's discord servers than can help you figure it out.

2026-09-05 06:00 No I Don't Have Any Mods That Are Supposed to Edit The UI its an Update Thing

TwistedMexi

If it's messing up your ui, you have some kind of ui mod. That's the only way for that type of issue to occur.

Lotje1981

I can't even open my game when my mods and Costume content are enabled.

TwistedMexi

Come to my discord and we can help you. Make sure your game is up to date on origin. Discord link on TwistedMexi.com

Hi I wanted to ask you if there is any way to delete the file DRAG THE _Tmex-BetterBuildBuy_ FOLDER TO MODS ROOT. THATS IT I tried in many ways and none of them work for me

TwistedMexi

That file shouldn't be in your mods folder. If something is locking it, restart your pc and try deleting it before doing anything else.

Hey! Looks like TS4 has been updated since BE last ran. This is not a BE Exception Report.

Hi, I am having issues with my game. My sims do not show up in the game and even when I start a new game Better Exception automatically starts scanning and then and then the different world shows up because of an error. Please help

Sims 4 lover

ecommended Action Mods were detected in the exception. Close your game, try removing the mentioned mods below from your Mods folder and retry what you did when you received the exception. If the exception does not occur then the problem is likely with that mod. Check the mod download for any recent updates. Possible Cause (Confidence: 30%) utilities\logging\version_handling.py\version_handling.py Reason [manus] Sim 639808173900104452 failed to load (AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'min_lod_value') MCCC Version 6.6.0 WickedWhims Version v166e OneDrive OneDrive is installed. OneDrive can put back outdated mods after you remove them, so we heavily recommend turning it off or uninstalling it. Package Mod Count 2057

Stuart Dollar

Is this one compatible with the 1.82.99 patch?

Little L

Hello, is the mod compatible with the last update ? Thank you

Cora George

Recommended Action No mods were listed in the exception but you do have mods installed. Close your game, try removing handfuls of mods from your Mods folder and retry what you did when you received the exception. If the exception does not occur then the problem is likely with that mod. Check the mod download for any recent updates. Possible Cause (Confidence: 10%) enum Reason [manus] drama_schedule_service failed to handle on_all_households_and_sim_infos_loaded due to exception (KeyError: ": DramaNodeScoringBucket> does not have value 3649133678") MCCC Version Not Installed. Package Mod Count 1101

I love your Mods but i think it´s broken :(

Lady Calliope

Hi I keep getting g LE but no mod is listed as an problem but it always happens when my sims are interacting with each other. The menu keeps popping up and it’s getting annoying specially when it’s saying there’s no mod causing this.

Juju Simone

i dont see where the download is

Howdy. Last night I used your Better Exceptions mod. Holey moley, did it identify and fix a lot of issues I'd been having. Thanks, sir. I will be donating as soon as my PayPal account issues are cleared up. This an invaluable tool.
