Updates Patch February 2026
Long time no see.
As you know I'm not updating the game regularly anymore, but this is a pre-pack patch so I'll catch up with the patches I missed.
Also, I'll not be getting the upcoming pack as I have no interest in new content for this bloated mess, but I'll see if I can get my hands on the files anyway to update Walkby Overhault and the Filters.
Updated Royalty and Legacy
Private Filters (Re-Updated from the patch)
Updated (the updated modules are marked by [^] ):
Private Filters (Zero_Multi_AssignNPCRoles_Private_Filters.package - Direct GDrive Link)
Tweaks (Unmarked ones have been checked and don't require updating)

Vanilla Plus Mods - Misc (Unmarked ones have been checked and don't require updating)

The "University_CustomDegrees_Main" isn't working correctly, it's showing on Better Exceptions report as Broken, being more especific: Invalid Tuning Mod
I just found your blog today. Just know you and your own are highly appreciated. You didn't have to do any of these mods but you did, I can only assume because of a personal drive to see something set right. I applaud you for your work ⛧⛧⛧⛧⛧⛧⛧⛧⛧⛧
I'm cursed with being unable to accept that an AAA game might be so broken.
Is the All- Mental health mod still published? i cant find it anywhere?
same...
Is there a Patch for the Cheats Complete Live Event Quest...The Mod I use doesn't seem to work for this new Royalty Pack and I Hate the Quest...UGH...Thx Zero
UI cheats now allows to click away the quests. I'm testing something that prevents them from being added to begin with and it seems to work. If you want that one I can release it, I was planning to release it on the next stupid event.
hey, do you think it would be hard to create a mod that makes other sims autonomously dance (waltz, slow dance) with the opposite sex? in the new expansion there're balls where most dancing pairs are same sex and it looks off... same with proms
If you help me with testing, this restricts non active sims to only pick the gender they're set to be attracted to in CAS. I can set it by sexed pair (male female only) but I find that'd be too restrictive. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Al-BxyxsxonuSt92Xchd1S6rcwJCEe8l/view?usp=drive_link
Hello, Zero! I joined this month to request an addition to the 'Personal Objects' / 'Security Settings on More Objects' mod. Would you consider adding the Base Game Woodworking table? I desperately need my sims to stick to their own stations. I use a pseudo-"hack" to simulate more varied gameplay than is actually present in the game: for each Sim, I over-decorate a specific Woodworking table, with "activity cc" corresponding to their imagined career or hobby. So: It is then *extremely* immersion-breaking when Sims use one another's bespoke-cluttered, Woodworking "Activity Tables," instead of "theirs," that I put so much effort into. They randomly route towards any (or, sometimes, the closest) woodworking table, and seldom the one I click on. This "musical chairs" (or: tables) behavior kills my "gameplay work-around" about 70% of the time. Hope you'll consider it if you have the time! Cheers!
The woodworking table is not autonomous as far as I remember. If you use a mod that adds an autonomous interaction to the object, both the security setting and that mod will stop working. If it's for clubs or other vanilla functions then there is no problem.
Thank you so much for the update and all you do! <3 Go for a jog together, visible hidden needs thirst, and so many of your mods are must haves. If not a bother, are Sirens and Timelords discontinued mods?
Right now, yes. I've been focusing on fixing the BG gameplay since last august before jumping on additional content, I feel like the game being bloated takes away from the enjoyment of whatever one adds on top and EA is already doing enough in terms of adding content that already feels like it's modded despite being original. So I'm doing the work they should be doing instead, rebalancing the gameplay for the modern game. I'll get back on mods that add stuff like those two when I'll be satisfied with the core gameplay. Cause I can't play the game and the fact that I can't means I can't keep up with new stuff I could be using for mods.
Hey Zero, is there any chance you could update Deadly Dickensian Sicknesses? It's really annoying to play my medieval save without that mod
Many people are asking me to update that one. I'll get to it, it needs a complete rework, but the constant patches slow me down considerably.
Last time I downloaded your career rework, I loved the idea of it but I felt like the amount of points you got each day for going to work was too low and it was basically impossible to get to higher levels of the careers. I know the idea behind it is that not everyone should be able to reach the top of the careers, but I feel like it should be possible if wanted. Not even cheating it and selecting the highest amount of points earned was enough I felt, even for long lifespan. Is there the possibility of maybe tuning it a little bit to make it slightly less hard? I found that your career rework was the best from all the ones out there, just a bit too complicated
yeah I can make it easier.
just pirate the pack if you think you'll need it, nobody should give them money for another hollow pack that will require mods like yours to actually be decent
That's what I'll do to extract the files but I'll remove it right after, not for ethical reasons but because I don't want new content in the game.
Let me rephrase this...are the Realm of Magic mods still working. I don't see them mentioned or in the Google Drive folder...I think all the other ones I have of yours have been covered
Things that aren't mentioned in this post are still working or will need updating once the new pack is out. Some RoM mods are in the second category (I'll probably need to update Expanded RoM because of new simFilters but it's nothing game breaking)
hello! I’m having a bit of trouble with the custom degrees mod. I updated the core library by any of my sims can’t enroll in university with the customs degrees. I thought it was a distinguished degree thing and even raised their skills up to 7, but none of the degrees are selectable because it says my sim don’t have the skills for it. Can you help me?
Can you enrol from the cheats menu?
Does the Voodoo mod and its dependencies still work? I was hoping to use it. BTW, thanks for keeping your mods updated, you fix some things that no one else does. I have quite a stack of your smaller mods. It's too bad you're not doing new mods, I'd love to see WereChihuahua expanded to eliminate all telling occult behaviors when in human form. Does that one still work? Folks were saying it made it so you can't introduce yourself.
Someone told me about the werewolf mod on discord, I'll update it if I can find it (or redo if I can't but I have to test in game because I don't remember what I had fixed). I'm still making mods, I'm just not releasing them, because modders fixing the game keep EA scam practices going. I'll resume the work if and when they stop breaking everything with new patches and new content (and taking 6 months to fix something I have fixed already like the disappearing pets, then lying to the players saying they haven't fixed it because it's complicated)
Thanks Zero!💜
is the better ghosts mod compatible, or has it been discontinued?
It's discontinued because I haven't gotten around playing Life and Dead to see what that pack did and how the mod can be adapted.
So, since the Custome degree isn't on the list, I should think it is still compatible.
Yup it's compatible. I'll probably release an update after the new pack to fix an icon but that's a minor issue, no urgency.
does the ask for a divorce mod still work?
yes
Are mods not listed good to go?
yes
Thank you
Thank you so much for keeping up with updates!
Thank you
Did the engagement rings mod need updating? I can’t find it
No, that's good to go.
thanks fam
Thanks for still updating your mods. I hope the feature disable mod will be updated as wel.
Thank you, we appreciate you updating your mods for us.
I'll probably also not get the new pack, but I do hope all your mods will be updated because I love playing occults and the EA versions are SO boring without your mods!
Please update Vampire can kill & Immersive vampire sir.
Those have no overrides, they should still work
Thank you :)
Thank you for any work you do! Your mods are a MUST HAVE to play this game and the BS in the game! Couldn't play with our them!
Thank you! The Walkby Overhaul is my go-to mod REALLY!
Much appreciated!
thank you for the update zero!! ♥
Thanks!!
Thank you!
