I would not play legacy saves atm. There could be more issues that haven't surfaced yet and the moodlet issue is breaking saves. So, I would advise to put them aside for now and play another save game. Build some, create some Sims or just fiddle around with some of the features

I'm very shocked and appalled to see that yet another support server closed down temporarily because of the entitlement and rudeness of some people. (although I'm very happy that the supporters now get to try their own game). Here's an idea folk. Ever heard of searching ?

If you download Sims from the gallery that have an extra (or more traits), do not change their traits or it will mess up the GUI in CAS.

Many Gallery lots currently seem to cause issues. I propose to test everything in a new save game first to see if it causes issues before putting then in your regular game. Also backup your save game before placing.

As the weekend before patch day draws closer, it's a good time to create a backup of your user folder. You'll find an overview on what file does what here: Make sure to remove your mods until they get updated or hold of with patching until they do.

For those who don't know yet: There's a pretty bad bug in the game right now. It's not fixed by the EP, that was an error on my part: Sims age in CAS. It doesn't matter if they're vampires or if you have aging off or how you enter CAS. - Maxis is aware and working on it.

For those of you running the legacy edition: Eco Living will NOT run on that. Don't pre-order or by the pack. If you have automatic updates enabled you will be prompted for the patch but the changes will not affect your game so you can turn it off now. You don't need the patch

Hi everyone, I can't keep up with all the tweets here so apologize the lack of answers. The social menu issue is tied to the singing skill. Cheat reduce it to < 5 and your Sim should be fine. There's also issues with the mailbox + instruments but those seem unrelated to singing

I really wonder why people keep lying about removing their mods. Did they really do it but not properly or is everyone just too lazy to do it and think it's ok if I just say I did. There's lots of Mod issues with DHD and it takes a lot of effort to find out cause people 1/2

If your Sim is not progressing their pregnancy then it's because of the Relationship-Telemetry LE. Putting in LeRoi's Mod Fix should help with the issue: If you are on console or do not want to use mods, play another family until the baby is born.

So this issue: is def not mod related (several console players have joined in) and is related to certain Sims. It's unclear at this point what the issue is with them (maybe one of the modders can figure it out but they are probably busy updating mods)

@SimGuruKate This isn't the only issue. I think it also confuses people cause it acts like a filter and not a sort by. So if you search for someone's specific creation, you end up with nothing although there's stuff in the gallery. Newest and most popular shows everything, Popular now filters

Good Morning all. For the moment I'm seeing lots of people reporting stuff on their modded games. Please folks, test without as it's really hard to tell what's legit and what not. Testing without means, renaming your user folder and starting a new save game. Test on that.

So after more testing my current theory is as follow: If you play on long age span, every Sim has a random number of days added each time you go to CAS/Manage World/Possibly travel). This results in the Sims aging up and dying sooner or later. (1/..)

Still trying to understand everything and had a talk with some modders. Saves CAN break if you saved your game after moodlets disappeared but only with a few moodlets. Break means that certain aspects won't work properly. Recovering saves might be necessary.

Never ever download whole mods folder from others. This hasn't been a bright idea in the past and now it's become downright dangerous. The only good place to get mods/cc is on the creators site.

Please be aware that this patch does not fix already lost Father Winter Babies (I checked) or messed up ages (I checked). You will need to load pre-GF-save backups to get those back or use MCCC to fix your ages.

Modders are updating their mods as we speak (or not and that's ok too). NEVER rush them and don't be rude. You can check if they have lists on what's updated or check Luth or Scarlets lists. Again, it's about finding info yourself. It's out there.
