Warning: Bug Bash and Maker Packs broke.... everything!!!! [WP is Safe] (Patreon)
Content
Today's Game Patch, 1.122.205, seems to have broken something fundamental with how mods load into the game. Many many many mods are broken right now including BMD, WW, and WP.
Rest assured, your favorite modders have already begun to look into the changes and what can be done to get things up and running again. Most of us weren't really expecting many mods to break today (it's typically the expansion pack patches which cause the most mods to break) so this has blindsided us as well. It can be difficult to predict how long your favorite mods will be out of commission, especially when so many mods are broken right now. But rest assured, we'll be getting things patched as quickly as possible. I'll be on discord and in the Parteon's chat room providing the most up-to-date info as possible. If you plan to play your modded sims 4 while we are working on the patch, then I highly recommend you disable updates or play without mods. 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. And honestly, this time, I'd recommend doing so.
Bug Bash & Maker Packs Patch Status:
Game Patch Released
Modders Panicking
Maxis Devs Panicking (Verified rumor, Maxis devs are trying to create a patch, one will be rolling out within the next 15 hours!!!!)
Maxis Patch Released. Analyzing changes. Not expecting a patch to be needed for the game update.
No patch needed, WP is safe after today's game update.
If you guys get the failed to launch game error, first try restarting the app, if that doesn't work, then try a game repair (this fixed it for me) if that doesn't work, try temporarily removing any custom lashes you may have (worked for someone else). Your UI (such as ui cheats) will need a patch if you use them.
On behalf of all your favorite modders, thank you for your patience. We are really going to need it this time.
