March 17-18 Patch News

Hi Test Subjects!

All of my mods are compatible with the March patch after the new EA hotfix!

No updates are necessary. I do have an update in the works for Free-Range to fix a few pre-existing bugs.

Thanks for all your support!

Hey! CoRe library is broken after the update (07/30) causing Infinite loading screens. Tested solo, clean install, it's definitely your mod. No rush, just a friendly heads-up. Thanks!

Just wanted to say, Thank You for all you do! Thank you for your belief of human rights! Any way you can do functional curtains? Open at 6am, close at 8pm? Most curtains are open in motel rooms and then are closed by the guest- little realities in the game❤️ Plus, I would love to have this in my homes!! Arnie has functional blinds, which I love but curtains would be so great!

What does "A Pack Selection change without a game restart has been detected" mean? I have not changed anything. Might there be a problem with the marketplace?

Did you happen to make a marketplace purchase? Its possible it triggers the same systems to reload the game tuning, in which case you would want to restart to make sure mods are able to apply to them correctly.

I'm so annoyed at EA for trying to fix problems they've been causing for years, making the life of modders harder and harder in the process. Thanks for your work. Without the creativity and hard work of you modders, I would have quit playing Sims 4 a long time ago.

I'm so hurt I thought I turned off auto updates.

I'm in my game that updated without my permission. A lot of my mods are not showing up in game. But they are still in mods folder. I don't like this. I thought it would change after I went offline. Nope. It's only showing a few mods. From people who I support on patreon and curse forge as well as Modco. They are just not showing up

Because they're broken. If you already updated the game, then it's unfortunately too late to go offline at this point. You have the newest version of the game now and need to wait for those mods to be updated to the current version )-:

hey i saw a post i think it was on the link you sent about them finding the issue and plan a fix within 15 hours, can anyone confirm this? https://forums.ea.com/discussions/the-sims-4-mods-and-custom-content-en/current-issue-many-package-mods--cc-not-loading/13260615?topicRepliesSort=postTimeDesc idk if this will show the exact screen shot but if you set it to newest an scroll down like 2 replies its right there

One of the things to watch out for with no Auto updates is to make sure that when you buy new content, you do not select the button that says update automatically. It makes it look as if it means to only update the content you just purchased, but in fact it changes the setting to auto update everything.

AfrikaTyriq'sMom Walker · March 17, 2026

my game updated on it's on, I had do not autoupdate. Then I turn my mods back on and I thought I had been robbed. And this was before the warnings came out. So thank you very much.

CLSXNerdLady · March 18, 2026

Same. Is that little button to disable auto-updates just a sick joke or what?!

lola · March 17, 2026

Glad I did not update yet, won't even let the EA app sniff my wifi, because many have said even with auto updates off, it's updating anyway!

I have never successfully been able to go offline and launch the game without updating 😭 ea app would always yell at me no matter what.
