⚠️ SIMS UPDATE NOTICE – PLEASE READ FIRST
Since the latest game update, many players are experiencing bugs, glitches, or strange behavior in their saves. In most cases, these issues are caused by outdated mods or custom content, not by the builds themselves.
If your game acts weird after updating, here are the recommended steps:
Try Better Exceptions by TwistedMexi to identify broken or conflicting mods.
Make sure all mods and CC are fully updated, especially those from CurseForge, Patreon, and The Sims Resource.
If problems persist, use the 50/50 method:
Temporarily move half of your Mods folder into a separate folder.
Launch the game and test.
If the issue is gone, the broken mod is in the removed half.
Move back half of that folder and repeat until you find the culprit.
Important Update Noteadd: @eternalsimsstories thanks for this information, this is also very helpful <3
Please make sure to follow your favorite mod creators on Patreon and/or Discord. EA has contacted many creators ahead of the patch to inform them which mods would be affected. Before updating your game, it’s recommended to remove all mods, update the game, and only add mods back once they have been confirmed as compatible.
You can also check the EA forums to see which types of mods were affected. Even then, UI issues can still happen – that’s where the 50/50 method really helps. 💡
This method takes a bit of time, but it’s currently the most reliable way to fix update-related issues. A lot of Simmers are affected right now, so you’re definitely not alone 💛
🏡 FUN WITH CLUTTER — BUILD STORY
Lot Name: Fun with Clutter
Lot Size: 20x15
Price: §80,348
Rooms: 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bathroom
Family: The Card Family
This home belongs to the Card family — let’s call them Mara and Jonah Card, along with their little baby Elliot.
The house itself isn’t perfect.
It’s part of a larger, older building that has seen better days. The structure is still standing, but time has left its marks — and yes… the roof is damaged. When it rains, there’s always that quiet worry: will today be the day it finally leaks again?
But instead of letting that bring them down, the Cards decided to make the best of what they have.
Inside, the house is filled with clutter, memories, hand-me-downs, and everyday chaos. Nothing is styled for aesthetics alone — everything exists because it’s needed, loved, or simply already there. Toys on the floor, blankets on the couch, books stacked where they fit best.
Despite the imperfections, one thing is certain:
The baby has everything they need to be safe, warm, and happy.
The small garden out back isn’t fancy, but it’s theirs. A place to sit, breathe, and dream about fixing the roof one day. Until then, they laugh, they adapt, and they live — because happiness doesn’t wait for perfection.
This build is about real life energy: cluttered, imperfect, full of warmth, and deeply human.
✨ ABOUT THE NEW UPDATE – GOOD NEWS TOO!
Even though the update caused issues for many players, it also brought some genuinely great new features worth mentioning:
New staircase design options, including more elegant and curved variations that add a lot of character in builds.
Improved CAS sorting: hairstyles, nails, clothing, and accessories are now easier to organize and filter.
New nail styles and swatches, giving Sims more personality and detail.
Overall quality-of-life improvements that, once mods are updated, really enhance gameplay and building.
So yes — the update is a bit chaotic right now, but once things are sorted, there’s a lot to enjoy 💫
Special Thanks of course in this case is:
@twistedmexi !!!! helped me here with this update a lot!
and of course all the other creators <3
