Prepare for the infant patch
Hi guys! The infant patch is coming tomorrow and I am here to to remind you to prepare your mods folder for the infant patch.馃槉
This patch is likely going to break a lot of mods馃槰, my Childbirth mod, toddler changing table and toddler crib will for sure break, and my other toddler stuff might break as well.
If you want to enjoy the patch (the new infant stage) immediately, I recommend you to remove all your mods before playing with the patch. Do you HAVE to remove all your mods? No, because I can't force you to do anything, but if you see weird glitches in game after the patch you should know it's likely caused by mods. 馃槬
Question 1: 馃What does it mean to remove all your mods?
馃煟 it means to move all your mods to a temporary location outside of your Mods folder, and play the game without any mods until the mod creator has either cleared their mod as unaffected by the patch, in which case you can put the mod back. Or wait till the creator to release an update, and you will need to download the new update and delete the old files you have.
Question 2: 馃What happens when I play my game without any mods after getting the infant patch?
馃煟 If you play with infant patch without any mods using the same save, you will be able to enjoy the game fully without worrying about your game breaking. However this means any moded features or objects you previously had will disappear from your game. For example, if you have my toddler stuff laid out on your lot, playing without mods will cause these objects to disappear and get replace with a random object.
If you have my childbirth mod and your sim had ultrasound scans, their ultrasound photo will disappear forever. The game will forget everything related to the childbirth mod, including who their birth partner is, whether they have given birth before, etc.
Question 3: 馃槬What if I don't want the modded features and objects to disappear forever?
馃煟 The only way to do that while still be able to play with the infant patch is to remove all your mods and start a new save (do not delete your old save), and stay in that save until all your mods have been updated or cleared before moving back to your old save. You can start a new save in the main menu, and starting a new save basically means you are starting a brand new world, you will not have any of your old families or sims in there, but you will be able to play the infant patch using a new family without affecting your old save.
I hope this post help those of you who are unfamiliar with patches. And let me know if you have any questions.

are we still awaiting the changing table and crib to update before we put it back into mods folder? anyone can answer, just want to be sure. thanks in advance
nvm...just found the post that stated things will be updated AFTER the childbirth mod...
So the Childbirth mod surprisingly worked fine for me just now! I had a sim pregnant in preparation for the update and the pie menu options are still there, the options in the phone, and she just had an unassisted birth complete with the moodlets!
do you happen to know if the other toddler ones are too?
how update it
redownload childbirth mod above....works just fine for me...
And I hope it's easy for you to update the mod after the patch!
Hello. I just started using your chilbirth mod last week. I know. I have a nice timing sense :P When you say birth partner, you mean the father of the child? Because, I was in doubt during the pregnacy who, from two sims, was the father, but with a cheat, I added both to the family just before childbirth. I had invited one of them to accompany the mother, and when they were at the hospital, the mother phoned the other one to be in the hospital too and he also came and stayed. well, his worried whims made me believe that second one was the father after all. All worried and suffering for seeing the mother suffering. (And by the way, I loved the swaying part.) Well, during labour the one that was invited first, was the one near the mother helping, and afterwards, the girl that was born, is identified as his (the first one) daughter. And not the worrisome guy's daughter. So, being a birth partner had influence in who the biological father became? The wory guy couldn't care less about the baby afterwards, and I that was considering a multiple person relationship, decided otherwise :D But could he have been the father and stoped being after the birth for some weird game reason or because of the mod? TIA
Birth partners can be any YA to Elder sim i believe and has no impact on the parenthood
Thank you so much for giving us this wonderful mod and thank you so much for putting your personal time and energy into this 鈾ワ笍鈾ワ笍
thought its coming out the 16th
the patch and base game update comes out the 14th. The Growing Together Pack the 16th. Take every mod and CC out to be safe - there will be a lot of changes. And back up your saves.
if you wanna play in your current save, load into your game and click esc + save as to make a duplicate save. then you can make a mod free version of your save!
also don鈥檛 worry about your custom content. mods? yes, but cc likely have little to no conflict.
You can also play offline with all your mods. You just have to disable the automatic update and wait patiently until all mods are updated. This is also a solution when you still want to play with the mods.
Here鈥檚 hoping and praying that the update wont destroy your mods too hard, especially the childbirth mod. Good luck friend!!!
Thank you! I鈥檓 going to definitely wait to play then!
You are very sweet to post this - thank you 馃槉! Best of luck with your updates, I know this one is likely going to cause major chaos to all your beautiful work 馃槙!
Really glad you maed an explenation! Thanks for telling us
Can't wait!
Do you have any idea when you鈥檒l be able to fix them? I have a save all ready but I want the child birth mod and the breastfeeding mod for it, also will the new game pack break it again?
Patience! these modders have a life outside the game. I'm sure Pandasama will work hard and fast to get things updated but don't rush modders. Play in a vanilla save until all your favorite mods are updated
