Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy Pre-Patch Day

EA are releasing a pre-patch for the new DLC coming out later this month. The good news is that, for the first time, they’ve also shared a code change guide for modders, which lets us see what’s being updated and how it might affect mods.

From what I can see so far, nothing in the guide directly impacts my mods… but as we all know, never say never.

They’ve also released a TDESC, which shows that there will be code differences in the update, even though we can’t see the exact changes until the patch goes live. One thing that stood out is a large number of changes in career tuning, which means some (or all) of my career mods may need updates. At this stage, this is just a heads-up. I don’t yet know what those changes are, and hopefully nothing breaks, so you can keep playing while I work quietly in the background if needed.

If you’d like to continue playing without interruptions, I recommend disabling automatic updates in the EA App until mod updates are confirmed. If you choose to update your game and play with a modded folder anyway, please note that I won’t be able to provide support for issues during that period.

As always, I’ll keep you fully updated on what’s broken and what’s safe to use via Twitter and my website, so please check there before messaging me.

See you guys on the flip side!
