Notice: Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy is coming! [Pre-Patch, and Patch Status] (Patreon)
Content
TLDR: Maxis is releasing Laundry List Patch (Maybe Royalty & Legacy Pre-Patch) on Tuesday February 3rd which might affect many mods, so if you want to play with your mods during this time, please disable updates!
Soon maxis will be releasing a patch which will include changes for the upcoming Royalty & Legacy Expansion. You can read more about the changes here. Excitingly, they also released a code change guide for modders, for the first time, and while I didn’t see anything too concerning for WP in the highlighted upcoming code changes that doesn’t mean something won’t break. Especially if this is the actual pre-patch for the upcoming expansion. Given that last time they released the pre-patch for the expansion two weeks ahead of time, I’m going to assume it’s the same for this time.
But you don’t need to be worried! That’s for your modders to figure out! While it can be difficult to predict how long your favorite mods will be out of commission, it typically takes us (TURBO, Basemental, and me) few hours to about 2 days to release a patch. I’ll be in discord while patching tomorrow for those who want a more up to the moment prediction for how the patch is going, but for those who don’t use discord, I’ll be silently updating this post here as the process progresses, to keep you informed with how the patch is coming.
Again, If you plan to play your modded sims 4 while we are working on the patch, then I highly recommend you disable updates. You can do this by opening the EA app, looking for the 3 horizontal bars in the upper left corner -> Settings -> hit the download tab just below settings (It’s not immediately obvious it’s a tab) then click off update games automatically, I’d probably disable ‘Enable Background Downloads’ just to be safe too. Then hit the 3 horizontal bars again and hit ‘go offline.’ This should prevent the sims 4 from auto-updating while your Mod Authors work on patches for you. If you want to be extra tinfoil, so shiny and chrome, you can disconnect your computer from the internet too, but that’s probably a bit cray cray, but we love things a bit crazy here don’t we?
