SimSweep Update 2.7 & 2.8
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 script mods and tell you how risky they are after a patch. It checks which parts of the game each mod relies on. If a mod touches core stuff that EA changes a lot (like how Sims move around or interact with things), it gets flagged as high risk with a red badge. If it only uses simple stuff that rarely changes, it gets a green badge (CC, build/buy stuff). So when patch day hits, you already know which mods to worry about and which ones are probably fine. These tags don't show until SimSweep recognizes there's been a game update. I want to avoid any confusion because it's a little scary seeing a bunch of HIGH RISK badges on your favorite core mods like MC Command Center and xmlinjector. All these tags are saying is "Hey, these mods change deep stuff inside of sims 4 so they're most likely broken. Make a backup and test alone to avoid save game corruption."
The crash log reader also got a lot smarter. Instead of just showing you a file path and expecting you to figure it out, it now actually reads the crash log and pulls out what went wrong, what caused it, and where it happened. Way more useful when you're trying to figure out which mod is crashing your game. It kind of was just sitting in your face before doing nothing.
There's also a pre-install checker now. Before you even put a mod in your folder, you can have SimSweep look at it first and tell you what's inside. Good for checking stuff before you commit to installing it. Say you downloaded a bunch mods off of sites you don't know are safe, this feature comes in perfect because it allows you to pre-scan the files to make sure theyre safe to be installed. It was also help you avoid adding duplicates into your mods folder. I have plans of adding this to the dashboard so you can just drag and drop.
On top of that, legal and privacy pages were added so everything is transparent about what the app does and doesn't do with your data.
In general, my main focus was just more improving the core features of SimSweep.

hii, my app is stuck on the loading screen... im trying to open it and it wont move from the opening screen. i updated it on wednesday and it worked fine, but now it wont open. ive reinstalled it twice and i cant get it to open. do you know what could be going on?
Are you on windows or mac?
Just curious if there are any plans on being able to do a sweep of unused objects in build/buy mode, too ? Or if that's even possible to do 😅. Thanks for this program !! It's been a big help !
Custom bb objects are technically in your Mods folder yeah but the problem is “unused” doesn’t really mean the same thing for bb as it does for cas. With cas cc, unused means no sim is wearing it anywhere. With bb, just because you haven’t placed a custom table on a lot doesn’t mean you don’t want it available in your catalog. So even if i could detect it, the results wouldn’t really be useful you know? That is where the browse section comes in handy and you can see all the bb objects you have downloaded and can decide wether you want them or not
Thank you! Glad to know it’s working.
This new update is really doing it's thing! It has found several duplicate files in my mods folder that none of the other programs I use has been able to detect. I honestly thought it was a mistake at first, but nope... slightly different name same CC. Thank you for your work!
I'm glad it's working for you. I'll continue fine tuning it so it helps us keep our mod folders tidy! Thank you for leaving feedback <3 Helps me know I'm working in the correct direction
I just tried checking for updates, but it's still saying 2.6.2 is the latest version. Am I missing something somewhere?
No you’re not missing anything. I had to delete the download and repush out a new update because the last one was causing itself to crash. New update should be live in roughly 5-10 minutes.
