So yeah, if you haven't updated since the last one (April 16th I think?) then maybe consider not patching just yet.

I just posted about all the new things I've made since I last posted on tumblr.

I've also updated things:c

February 3

Three of my mods needed an update for today's patch:

More Sim Names

Allow Children to Volunteer Alone

MissBee's Child Aspirations Set updated -- just Perfect Angel

Prescott Relationship Fix is obsolete. Their family tree is fixed in new games, and this fix only worked in new games. Delete whichever of amethyst-Prescott Relationship Fix.package or amethyst-Prescott Relationship Fix-Makeover.package that you have in your mods folder. I'll delete the files in a few days.

All other mods should be fine with the patch. Please let me know if you find something I didn't, after testing with just that mod (and anything else it requires).

February 24

Updated my Drama List.

March 18

Today feels much better! I'm pretending yesterday's patch didn't happen.

For today's patch, I've updated three mods:

More Animal Names

Added a string override for Eggsavior's School for Chickens, which is a name EA added that is too long for chicken coops to use. It's now Eggsavior's School for Chicks. Bug report here: https://forums.ea.com/idea/the-sims-4-bug-reports-en/col-eggsaviors-school-for-chickens-is-too-long-to-use-as-a-coop-name/13264949 (vote if this bothers you please)

Mood Based Interactions

Updated thee flirty interaction to match EA's romantic interactions that they updated in the patch.

Wrench Icon Overrides

Updated for patch 1.122.212

Obsolete mod:

Script Call Fail Overrides for StrangerVille Plant Containment Cell and Get to Work Test Tube Pedestal was made obsolete by the patch. Delete the files amethyst-SV Plant Containment Cell Script Call Fail override.package and amethyst-GTW Test Tube Pedestal Script Call Fail override.package

Cleared:

All other mods should be fine with the patch. Let me know if you have any issues.

March 19

Hopefully final patch update

I added two base files to my main menus page.

These, or one like them, are required for main menu overrides to work most of the time. I was relying on other people's bases, but that can be difficult since you're relying on them having time and having updated their game.

There are two options. Both remove the ads on the right and the moola box (you can still buy moola from the Marketplace tab). One leaves your last played household and the other removes it.

Download.

I think my unplanned tumblr break is over. I was in a place where I just couldn't face one more thing to do, so tumblr got dropped. My brain's been in a better place lately, so that should be over.

Like, it's one thing if old stair cc can't be used for the new flared stairs, and old railing cc can't be set to only one side or the other. That just means my stairs will just continue to look like they did yesterday. It's another thing if the stair update is going to break my build, if not my game, entirely.

Hi! Looks like my mods should all be good for the patch EXCEPT Bugfix: Let Scouts Donate on Computers, which was fixed in the patch and is now obsolete. I love when bug fixes are made obsolete.

BUT

I kind of forgot to post about a couple of updates here

Family Member Traits got updated to be included in club filters using Core Library instead of a different mod https://www.patreon.com/posts/family-member-98435560

and Mood Based Interactions got updated to include Confident interactions, got two optional add-ons, and had the main file renamed, since it was only ever meant to be one file but is now up to three files https://www.patreon.com/posts/mood-based-141674441

AND

I have a new mod, Club Trait Additions. It adds various traits from the game to the filters for clubs, small business customers, getaways, and custom venues. You can read more about it here https://www.tumblr.com/amethystamanda/801855532817367040/club-trait-additions

All of my mods seem fine with the new update EXCEPT Mournful Melodies Music Box fix, which is no longer needed because it was fixed in the patch. Delete `amethyst-Mournful Melodies Music Box NameandDesc Fix.package` from your mods folder once you update your game.

If you have any problems with anything of mine, let me know so I can look into it.

It's patch day folks!

Since this is a big pre-expansion pack patch it's important to take out mods and make backups of saves and trayfiles before updating. And the big mods like UI cheats and other script mods almost always needs an update so please be careful before launching your favorite saves with mods.

I find that it's almost better to take a few days and play something else if I feel like I can't live without my favorite mods. Let the modders breathe and don't pester them for updates within hours of the patch, alright?

Also, now we cross all the fingers that they haven't broken something completely beyond repair with this patch since it's coming out earlier originally planned. 🤞🤞
