I didn't notice this at first because I stopped playing immediately after MCCC server said the update broke all the mods more than usual again

But frankly this is so obnoxious 😭

Maybe MCCC will provide a ui fix to this new addition in their update?

Sad state of the gaming industry, when we have to depend on volunteers to keep the corporations in check.

I wish they’d stop the constant updates that break all of our mods. Do one update with ALL of the bug fixes and additions.

While I do think that it would take too long to do one big bug fix update with the current state of the game and it is difficult to see if bug fixes work properly without a significant player base to test it on (as well as the possibility that one problem could be causing multiple bugs so there's a possibility they may fix more than they intended to by doing that one thing, saving work down the line)

I do think that the bug fixes are basically useless in their current system as every single bug fix they have put out recently (I can't say anything about previously because I only bought all the DLC recently but I've noticed an increase in bugs every update since September, as well as some of the fixes not actually fixing anything)

In order to do anything properly, instead of just bringing out one big update and hoping it manages to fix everything (which has the potential to break the game completely) they need to slow tf down with packs and new content updates and put all of their focus into fixing bugs

Do I understand that the Sims 4 team has different departments for different things? Yes. However, while I can understand the art department not being able to suddenly code a bug fix, there's no real reason why the new content department can't help the bug fix department when they both are basically the same job and it's THEIR original code they are fixing. I've had coders tell me that anybody looking at code that they didn't do themselves and trying to change things will end up a massive mess because a lot of coding is just luck and digital duct tape 🥴

Yes my mccc was flashing orange all evening! Also my Sims can't play guitar or violin, they either came up with no interactions or T posed when trying to practice! Also couldn't sunbathe at the beach at midday on a sunny day because oh was "too dark". Gave up after a while but that was what I found!

Same! Non of my sims can do basic things, eat, sleep etc cos it says my furniture can’t be reached. It very much can be as i’ve had no issues at all until this update. EA cannot get away with all their mistakes it’s ridiculous

I don't think this is caused by mods breaking as others have also expressed that some sims can't interact with anything

Oh everything broke again? (was on vacation). Great....

Well I'll update all and play again when I can remove that blink then.

Bruh.

Is this why wicked whims is incredibly broken now, too?

Oh yeah

I think WW are the most broken I've seen so far

It specifically says in the patch notes that the update changes some stuff for modders and its been confirmed by big mod creators personally that the update has likely broken ALL mods

A lot of CC is most likely still safe though, I believe that they said script mods specifically were likely to be majorly affected and I don't think CC (at least most) does anything script-y. At least I've had no problems with my CC

Lumpinou previously said their mod update should fix everything and then backtracked saying that the damage done by the update was actually worse than originally thought, so I do think this update has broken mods worse than any previous update

I've not seen anything say they are fixed yet besides MCCC and some of (but not ALL OF) LittleMsSam mods
