Better Exceptions Major Update

⚠ Upload removed because it's out of date. ⚠

Get latest using https://TwistedMexi.com 

Huge update for Better Exceptions today, be sure to grab it if you currently have the old version.

Features:

  • Auto-updates! That's right, from here on out Better Exceptions will let you know when there's an update and will update it for you in-game, with no interruption to your gameplay. Super excited about this one.


  • Advanced Mod Error Detection: Added a known mod error database so you'll be more likely to receive specific details when you encounter common mod issues.


  • More Details for Game Bugs: Reasons are now provided in-game even if there's not an Answer HQ article for it. The mod will also continue to alert you if any known issues occur after the first exception
    (unknown exceptions stop after the first alert for that session since exceptions occurring after that may be a result of the original exception. This helps target the actual cause.)


Edit:

I've created a video to better explain the mod, check it out on youtube.
 

How to Install:

  • Make sure script mods are enabled in your Gameplay Options -> Other tab. It's a separate option from normal mods.

  • Download the .ts4script file directly to your Mods folder. Do not unzip or open it.

  • The mod must be in your Mods root folder. It can not be in a subfolder.


Thanks everyone, hope you enjoy :)

BE has been scanning for 30 mins now. I have a lot of mods, but it usually takes 5 mins or so. Any idea whats causing this issue?

Better exceptions is a separate mod. You can remove it without removing bbb.

Tanaijah · November 23, 2020

I download it and everything it’s still zip but when I play the game nothing happens

T
TwistedMexi · November 23, 2020

Nothing should happen unless one of your mods are broken.

Hi TwistedMexi!, this mod needs an update for the latest EA patch

L
Lucy Buckley · April 12, 2020

I think this needs a update. At least that's what it says when I turn on my game. Thanks,

julia · April 11, 2020

I know you woudlnt want me to do this but It doesnt let me delete the mod. I would delete it then it would come back in my game.. I need all my mods out for a second but that just keeps coming back in.. any ideas for help?

T
TwistedMexi · April 12, 2020

It sounds like you might have onedrive set to sync that folder. Should definitely turn that off, it'll save you a lot of headaches.

markia lumpkin · April 4, 2020

Hello. I was wondering if there was a way to bring up an old report that's no longer in your computer's history

s
softlygaloshes · March 8, 2020

I really like this mod. Thank you for your hard work! Something that keeps annoying me though is that I'm playing right now, and it seems some trait is causing a last exception. I figure I'll remove the trait when I close the game. But instead, every minute or so, better exceptions takes over the screen to tell me it's scanning, then telling me it's the same trait as before. I don't like being interrupted over and over for the same error, especially when BE takes the whole screen instead of a regular LE off in the corner.

Alona Morgan · February 2, 2020

Hi, I was wondering if maybe I'm going something wrong but every time I download the file, it comes already unzipped. Is it supposed to be this way? Does this mod not work on Macs?

M

Macs auto unzip files and the file wasn't zipped

kotton · August 19, 2019

I totally love this mod but since I have installed the moschino stuff pack, it stopped working. I deleted the files and I came back here and downloaded it and still nothing. I get the notices from MC but then I wait for this mod to pop up and nothing. Idk what to do cause even thou I removed mods that have not been updated yet, I am still having issues and this mod was a lifesaver.

T
TwistedMexi · August 19, 2019

Make sure you have 1.06

r
reinaldo santos andrade · August 17, 2019

hey Matheus, I'm loving this mod! could you ask me, when it will be available? because I think interesting. have you already known the date right?

T
TwistedMexi · August 17, 2019

This has been public for awhile. V1.06

M
Matheus Martins de Moura · July 20, 2019

I'm interested in translating this mod to Brazilian Portuguese, could you send me the text files to create the translation? :D

T
TwistedMexi · August 5, 2019

Hey Matheus, if you open the package file with sims 4 studio you can edit the Portuguese string table directly.

R
Reecey · July 19, 2019

*BROKEN* This mod, with it alone, I keep getting this buff_component error! I removed all mods but this, and STILL get it! Broken with latest patch I guess, any assumed time this will be fixed to be working with latest patch?

T
TwistedMexi · July 19, 2019

It's not broken. You probably have send usage data unchecked in your game options. We just learned recently having this turned off will cause your le files not to be renamed, which will cause BE to keep reading that error

E
Elvenethical · July 11, 2019

When i first opened the game with BE I got one of the popups telling me to update so i did. But now i keep getting LE's like before with no more popups? I looked into the LE's and it's saying there's a problem with BE...

T
TwistedMexi · July 11, 2019

Hey elven, try redownloading, I hotfixed 1.05 later that day.

L
Leona Cotita · June 19, 2019

Thank You TwistedMexi , I downloaded this and it was on my loading screen , after playing for few minutes it let me know of 2 mods not working and I removed them and all is perfectly working no issues :) I am so grateful to this because I was always one by one checking them , updating them all that fun stuff lol this helps more. Appreciate YOU!! ~

BrookieRex · June 18, 2019

Hi! How am I able to download this mod? Do I have to become a patreon member? The paperclip link you have only links this mod's code on my pc's notepad, it doesn't let me download as a package file.

T
TwistedMexi · June 19, 2019

It's public. Try right clicking it and save as. Save it directly to your mods folder.

Is there an update coming soon? This Mod seems to not be working as it should

T
TwistedMexi · June 15, 2019

Yes there is but you're welcome to post the LE in my discord and I'll make sure it's one of the issues fixed in my next update.

Ivy · June 15, 2019

Is the mod compatable with mac? I dont have the file in a sub folder and it shows in the mod-list at the begining. But it does not work somehow. I have the MCC report but no window pops up.

T
TwistedMexi · June 15, 2019

It's compatible if you have the newest version. There's still some cases where BE might not alert you but those are fixed in the coming update.

J
Jamie Cuffe · June 10, 2019

i have downloaded Tmex-BetterExceptions.ts4script and it's not working. I have not unzipped it for 2 reasons.... 1. i know im not meant to unzip 2. it's not in a folder to be unzipped any way....what am i doing wrong ???? i have tried debug.force_exception to test it and nothing happens

J
Jamie Cuffe · June 13, 2019

I have also had MCCC report that there was an issue and still no better exception report

mudgybear · June 6, 2019

It's not working for me.

T
TwistedMexi · June 6, 2019

It'll only pop up when there's an exception. Make sure it shows on your mod list at startup.

S
Shyanna Gant · June 5, 2019

Something is wrong. Not popping up in game?

T
TwistedMexi · June 6, 2019

It'll only pop up when there's an exception. Make sure it shows on your mod list at startup.

heidi (Team de luniversims.fr) · June 4, 2019

I had a blank screen yesterday. I have the mistake, it is a recurring error in the restaurants. This concerns a drink served. I do not have any mods on it. I looked at the mistake and back on my game, I no longer had the picture, just the sound, the screen was immaculate white. I cleaned up my game because it was lags when I reopened my game, can not continue the game in the state.;)

Mariah99 · May 24, 2019

I removed this mod from my game because it stopped popping up to tell me about my exceptions now that its gone i can no longer see my exceptions in note it just says " "

T
TwistedMexi · May 26, 2019

Mariah it sounds like you're having blank exceptions. That's why BE wasn't popping up. I'm working on the mod currently to alert you when this happens but basically it means something broke so badly, likely a mod, that it didn't even generate a proper error. Use the 50/50 method to find the problem.

LaKeisha Thomas · May 23, 2019

Anyone else having the issue with the game crashing/ not responding when you close the game

i
instantmagic · May 21, 2019

mine is unzipped, it's a ts4 file. I'm waiting for the box to come up that says Exception Alert, like the one in your picture above but that does not happen, so far. Other than that I hope it is running. Doesn't seem to slow my game down or anything.

T
TwistedMexi · May 21, 2019

If you have AllCheats installed you can test with the cheat "debug.force_exception" :)

A
Acedroid · May 21, 2019

Same for me, it doesn't show up in the game. I downloaded it and put it in the Mods folder, without unzipping ect.

M
M van Oss · May 21, 2019

Hi! I've downloaded it as a sims4pack and put it directly in the Mods folder, so no subfolder. However, it doesn't show up in-game. Anything I'm doing wrong?

C
Curt Miller · May 21, 2019

Did you unzip the file by any chance? Just download it and put it in the mod folder. It works as soo as the game receives a LE

C
Curt Miller · May 21, 2019

Hi thanks for the mod! As soon as my game opened in live mode mu Exception alert popped up as follows : Possible Cause : home_assignment_career_gig. Can you please tell me how to fix this bug?

R
Rebekkah Young · May 20, 2019

hi i added this to my game and i did get the LE pop ups but the script you made does not do anything for me and i have saved it directly to my mod folder

T
TwistedMexi · May 20, 2019

Is it in the root folder? It can't be in a subfolder. Needs to be directly in mods.

i
instantmagic · May 19, 2019

OK, but the LE is huge, it starts with this line. I will send you the whole thing if you want. I'm not trying to offend, but rather just want to make sure this is working in my game, because I think this is a great idea.

T
TwistedMexi · May 19, 2019

No offense taken, you can send it to me on my discord and I'll take a look.

B
Bri · May 19, 2019

Hello! I put this mod in my game today, and my game would not open. It produced a message saying something about my video card. When I took it out my game opened. Do you know what could of caused this?

T
TwistedMexi · May 19, 2019

This mod doesn't modify any graphical aspects of thew game. I'm not sure what caused it but it wouldn't be the mod. What video card do you have?

V
Víctor Gomez De Cadiñanos Perez · May 19, 2019

Cuando va ha estar traducido al español?

i
instantmagic · May 18, 2019

OK after about 4 hours of play again, an LE came up and I watched to see if this would also pop up to say something about it. Now I am guessing I'm gonna need a serious LE to pop up, but this is only a Ts4 script file right so it shouldn't hurt anything? Maybe you could add a similar message to this like the one MCCC shows when you open the game Y'know the one that starts with Oi! LOL. Something like you are running better exceptions vers. 2.0 Makes it easy for us to see if it is working.

T
TwistedMexi · May 18, 2019

Any LE should trigger the popup if there is an actual error in the le text file. If it doesn't please send me the le so I can test. If the better exceptions mod is in the startup popup for mods then it should be working.

I need help. I can't save it unzipped. It's getting unzipped automatically and goes to downloads also automatically.

i
instantmagic · May 17, 2019

TM: OK, so I tested this last night, I played for about 4 hours without getting and LE and then I got one, but This mod didn't seem to say anything. Is that usual or unusual?

T
TwistedMexi · May 17, 2019

Is the le empty? Ie. Just 3 lines with xml and root? If so then BE can't currently tell you anything since there's no actual error. I'm working on something for that but it'll be a few weeks. With empty LEs you should 50/50 your mods folder until you find what's doing it

P
Patricia Fedeli · May 17, 2019

Thank you for all of your cheats! I am having trouble getting the timex cheat. What do I have to download to open the file?

Don't open it, save it directly to your mods folder and make sure script mods are enabled in gameplay options

He announces the errors on the MAP too, it's great. We build without entering the game itself and your script covers that too. It was a small minor concern, I was pleasantly surprised, thank you again, because the indices are complete and it facilitates research. We never say enough thank you:)

I
InfinitiveSky · May 13, 2019

Is there any way we could provide translations for it?

This mod isn't working for me.; my game won't recognize it. I have script mods enabled, but when I download the mod, it's not a script file, it's a PYC file. I've never seen that before, so I don't know if that's the issue or not.

I'm not sure, can you provide an example of about of memory error? If it generates a lastexception.txt then my mod should cover it.
