HELP??

This has been driving me nuts for the past few days. I can’t count the number of times I’ve uninstalled, downloaded, and reinstalled the program. 😂

I recently installed S4Studio Aurora because I need those infant rigs 😅 buuuuuuut every time I launch it, I get bombarded by pop-ups that keep asking for access to folders. Believe it or not, it takes around 10-20 click on that teeny “OK” button before I can do anything. Also, every time I try to save anything in other locations (downloads, documents, etc), the same pop-up is triggered. 

I’ve given the app full disk access and permissions. I have no idea why it’s doing this and I also have no idea what to do. 😂 I tried installing the older versions of s4studio and they all work perfectly without this horrible pop-up dilemma. 

For reference, I’m on an M1 Macbook Pro running on Monterey. The program is installed in my Applications folder and the paths to my game and files are properly set-up. 

When the patch for Seasons (Sims 4) comes, Sims4Studio is likely to need an update, which may not happen until after the Pack is released on June 22.  

We don’t know what all the patch is going to break, but we’re suggesting being prepared for “worst case scenario.” (Remember Cats & Dogs?)  

Some players are planning to start fresh with their mods and custom content.  If you want to try keeping what you have, I STRONGLY advise you to prepare by updating Sims4Studio to 3.1.1.5 (Windows) or 1.2.1.1 (Mac) and run ALL the Object batch fixes, and the two CAS batch fixes, BEFORE the Seasons patch comes out.  It could be as early as tomorrow (Thursday).

Time to lock and load... get ready for Stormageddon!!

We’re expecting Deaderpool’s Discord to see a lot of traffic post-patch.  Come watch the madness, and get the most up to date news on MCCC’s status.  

If you NEED help with error messages, feel free to drop by #general_support anytime.

Sims 4 is not a game you can play well, without being willing to do some reading.  

Using mods and custom content (CC) is no different, and it may even be MORE important, to read the details about what you're thinking of adding to your game.  

Why?  Basically, because patches from EA change code, and every file in your /Mods folder is, at its basic level, "all code."  (YES, things like cc hair and clothes and tables and plants can, and do, break.  Everything "extra" can.)  Things made to work with prior game versions can stop working at any time, unless they're updated, depending on what areas of code EA just "touched."  

Luckily, Sims4Studio (package editor program) can address many errors EA has "added to" older custom content files, through their CAS and Object batch fixes.  If you're going to have cc clothes/etc and cc objects, you Really Need to install, and keep updated, Sims4Studio.

Gratuitous plug for MC Command Center, if you settle in and take some time to read through the options it can offer you, you may find yourself able to remove a lot of other, smaller (and possibly now-broken or abandoned) mods.  

At the very least, it would be well worth your time to open up the Overview page on Deaderpool's website and browse.  ALL of the settings for MCCC are appended to the bottom of that page, and CTRL-F works fine, if you know what you're looking for.  

Pretty much any Script Mod dated before November 2017 (Cats and Dogs) is NOT still going to be working properly.  And the (later) 1.40 patch introduced an "appearance modifier" error that again required updates for SEVERAL game-changer mods (both script and regular package types), just to give you some tips on known previous breakage.  

Keeping your mods and cc up to date is necessary if you want to spend more time PLAYING than you do tracking down and fixing error messages.  

Read any info available wherever you download them from.  In the case of CC, you may need to download a separate "mesh" file, also. 

MTS (Mod the Sims) is well organized, with a Description page, a tab for downloading Files, and a tab for Comments.  

Reading the Description page, and also making sure you have the CORRECT File version for the current game patch, is advised.  

Checking Comments is usually a great way to judge whether a file is still working.  

There's a comprehensive mods/cc Tip Sheet, here.

And if you find yourself needing to single out broken files, read this post.

Still need help figuring out what's wrong?  Bring your newest lastException.txt (without numbers if possible) to us on Deaderpool's Discord.  

Good Luck with the Seasons patch!!

The CC wrench icon hiders have been updated for the 6/2/2016 patch.  As before, there are 3 options available.

So I’m sure everyone knows by now that the shiny new version of Sims 4 Studio is able to make custom objects work with the Design Tool. Previously created items can be updated by cloning and saving them with S4S. 

As far as I can tell, though, there's no way do that and preserve the original instances. So all those fixed items will have disappeared in-game and need to be purchased again. Additionally, this would mean that until the creator fixes their own item, lot builders, for example, couldn't share lots using items they've fixed for themselves because downloaders would just get an empty space there if they have the "unfixed" version. Am I missing something? Besides manually changing the instances, is there any way to fix CC items to work with the Design Tool and not disappear the previously placed items?
