⚠️ Another Sims 4 Update Is Coming — Mods Will Be Affected ⚠️

Hey hey y’all 💚

Unfortunately, another Sims 4 update is scheduled for February 3rd.

EA has already confirmed that this update will NOT be as smooth as the last one, and mods will be affected!

I always recommend the following

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🧰 STEP 1 — PREPARE YOUR MODS FOLDER

The #1 issue I see every update cycle:
Disorganized Mods folders.

An organized folder makes troubleshooting faster, easier, and less stressful.

✨ I recommend: Marie’s Method Sims 4 CC Organizer

Take the time to clean, sort, and label your folders properly.

⚠️I personally haven't used this method, so any questions, please reach out to the creator

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🛑 STEP 2 — BEFORE THE UPDATE

✔️ GO OFFLINE (Click here for tips on how to play offline)
✔️ Do NOT update immediately!!!!!!!!!!!
✔️ Check your must-have mod creators for compatibility updates
✔️ Make copies of your save files
✨ Keep an eye on the EA Forums for patch-related info✨

There is no prize for updating first.
Relax. Wait. Let creators do their thing.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🚫 IMPORTANT

Please do NOT report:

• Loading issues
• Game errors
• Mod-related problems

until you have tested your game without mods and confirmed the issue still exists.

I have already provided resources and guidance to help you prepare, so I will not be responding to messages or comments regarding update-related loading issues.

Good luck & Happy Simming,
