SYVR

First, the important one: SimSweep was hiding its own updates from you If your SimSweep still says 4.0.16 it's not because you skipped updates. The old update system basically never showed you one. It would silently download the whole new version in the background and only show the Update button aft

Alright it's been a while so let me catch you up 😅 Last thing I posted here was v2.20.12 and the app's on v4.0.0 now, that's a whole lot of updates you randomly came across on your own unless you were in the discord. Where my head's been So I totaled my car earlier this month 😢 I'm fine but the ca

I know, I know. I promised I'd stop breaking things. In my defense, it wasn't my fault this time. SimSweep v2.20.12 If you're on v2.20.9 or earlier, the auto-updater can't help you on this one. A signing key got corrupted during the server migration and was quietly blocking every update from going t

A couple of things broke recently so here's what happened and how to fix it. The v2.20.4 update caused corrupted local data for a lot of users. The Browse page would show 0 files even though the category tabs had the right counts. I pushed a few hotfixes trying to solve it but none of them actually

It's been about a week since I posted here. If you're in the Discord you've already seen all of this since updates get posted there the second they go live, but for everyone else here's the catch-up. First off, if you updated your game recently, the latest EA hotfix hasn't fully fixed everything fro

It's been a few days since I've posted here. If you're in the Discord you already know most of this since updates get posted there the second they go live, but for everyone else, here's the catch-up 😁 This past weekend was pretty packed between work and the kiddo so I didn't really get to touch Sim

First off, thank you. I mean that. 🤍 You’re spending your own hard earned money to support this and I don’t care if it’s $5, that’s $5 you could’ve spent on literally anything else and you chose to put it here. That means a lot and I want you to know I don’t take it for granted. I’m gonna be real w

There's been a lot of updates since the last post and I want to catch you up on everything. Buckle in. The scanner was lying to you about a lot of things. Not on purpose, but the result was the same. Your Build/Buy CC (tables, chairs, counters, lights, everything you place in build mode) was complet

Alright so I've been thinking about this for a bit and I finally feel like I have a clear picture of where everything is headed. Figured I'd share it with you guys since you're literally the reason this thing exists lol Quick recap SimSweep started as a basic scanner. "Here's your mods folder, here'

It's been a busy day so there's a lot to cover here. I'll try to keep it organized but no promises. SimSweep scans for malware now. This was the big one. Every .package and .ts4script file gets SHA256 hashed during your scan and checked against a database of known malicious mods. If something in you

SimSweep v2.11.4 — Small but useful This one's mostly behind-the-scenes stuff connecting SimSweep to some new infrastructure. Not flashy, but it matters. What's new: The SYVR Discord server is live (Thanks to the wonderful Ellie) This is where updates, support, and dev talk will live going forward.

Few fixes dropped today. If you've been having black screens or visual glitches there's a new Safe Mode toggle in Settings > Advanced that should fix it. Restart the app after turning it on. Scanning should also feel less heavy on lower end systems now. I added some breathing room in the parts of th

So 2.11.0 just dropped and the main thing you'll notice is everything feels smoother. I rebuilt all the animations in the app. Page transitions, cards loading in, popups, menus, all of it moves properly now instead of the choppy stuff it was doing before. It's one of those changes where you might no

First and foremost, I want to thank each and every one of you that gave SimSweep a chance! I know it’s scary installing a program and your antivirus or windows defender is like “Woahhh there, we don’t know this guy, you sure??” . So thank you for trying it out 🤍 Okay let’s talk about why I gathered

This one's been a big update so I'm gonna break down everything that's new. CasPart metadata parsing is probably the biggest change under the hood. SimSweep now reads real metadata from CAS Part resources in your files, so it's pulling body type, age/gender flags, and outfit categories directly from

I'm going over my analytics and I'm noticing a lot of people on older versions, specifically v2.6.2. I had a report earlier that they weren't getting the auto update, is this also true for you? If it is, unfortunately there's nothing I can do on my end. It would require you to download the newest in

No new features this round. I spent this entire update cycle focused on quality of life improvements for the Browse page. Just making the stuff that's already there feel better, faster, and less annoying to use. Here's everything that changed. Quick shoutout to Amber for the great feedback! Some of

My main focus with these updates was avoid adding more features and focus on control, clarity, and confidence inside of SimSweep's core features. These two updates were all about making the core scanning smarter and getting you ready for when EA drops a game update. SimSweep can now look inside your

So I was working on SimSweep all night and I had one of those moments where you step back and go "wait a minute." SimSweep already reads your tray data. It already knows your households, pulls their thumbnails, decrypts the images. All that infrastructure is just... sitting there. And it hit me. Wha

The big focus for this round of updates was scan accuracy. The scanner was making too many wrong calls, and when you're trusting a tool to tell you what's broken or unused, wrong calls aren't just annoying. They're the whole problem. So I went through the classification pipeline and rewrote a lot of

Alright so 2.0 just dropped and I'm already mapping out v3. I know. But hear me out, because some of this stuff is needed and I want you to see where this is going. Every feature below ships as Operative-only during early access, then gets sorted into the right tier when v3.0.0 officially launches.

This one's for everyone who doesn't keep their Sims 4 folder in the default location. I got reports from users whose Mods folders live on separate drives (using Windows junctions or symlinks to move them off their C: drive). SimSweep was detecting the link instead of following it to the real folder,

SimSweep has been eating all my time (in a good way), but SYVR was never meant to be just a tools brand. I've got mod ideas that have been sitting in my head for months, and before I start building, I want to know what you guys actually want to play. Right now the only mods I've published are my lot

My update bar decided it wanted to do its own thing and basically became invisible on dark backgrounds :))) I'm pushing out a hot fix to fix this issue. You're going to have to switch to a light theme in order to see the bar and click update. 1.4.3 will fix this issue. I apologize in advance!

Been cooking for a bit so this one's a big catchup. Here's everything that's new since the last update. 30 Themes SimSweep went from 18 themes to 30. Twelve brand new Operative-exclusive themes: Aurora, Noir, Retrowave, Nebula, Parchment, Prism, Twilight, Hologram, Darkroom, Glacier, Copper, and Ove

I'm not going to sugarcoat it. The old SimSweep was ugly. Functional, but ugly. And it bugged me every single time I opened it knowing you guys were using that version while I was sitting on something so much better. So I pushed 2.0 out early. Bugs and all. Because you deserved to see what she actua

So I have some embarrassing news. The auto-updater has been broken since day one. A single character typo in the code meant that every time you clicked "Update Now" it was silently doing nothing in the background. No error, no feedback, just quietly failing every single time. I didn't catch it until

First mod release from SYVR and I'm really excited to finally get these out 🎉 Four custom lot traits all in one pack. Drop them into any lot through Build Mode and mix and match however you want. All four work on base game with no dependencies. Skill Haven 📚 All skills on this lot level up twice a

Hey everyone! So I've been going absolutely crazy on SimSweep updates and I genuinely can't believe how much has changed since 1.0. I wanted to catch you all up because there is a LOT to talk about 😭 The app got a full glow up 💅 The results page has been completely redesigned. Instead of a wall of

Hey, I'm SYVR. Just a hobbyist dev who builds tools for games I actually play. I've been doing this for a while just for myself but finally decided to put things somewhere people can actually use them. So here we are. Right now I'm deep in Sims 4. Like embarrassingly deep. 😅 And if you're a heavy C
