It's Patch Day!
EA is releasing a major patch today, which may cause issues—especially for relationship-based mods. This is your reminder to back up your important mods and saves before updating. If you’re on Windows, you can use my free Clean Launcher tool for Windows (recently updated and much improved) to back everything up to any location you choose, so you’re ready when it’s safe to play again.
While you’re waiting for mods to be cleared, try out Mod Profiles. Start with all your usual mods in the Mods folder—these become your Default Mods. Then remove them from the Mods folder (yes, you can delete them; you have your backup) and add only your CC must-haves (like a default skin replacement). Hit Create New and give it a name—for example, Vanilla-ish. Clean Launcher will back up your new profile, and you can switch between them as you choose. You can even set a default profile to load with the game from the Main Menu, if you want to!
Your Default Mods stay safely backed up, and you can view their location from the More button. You can also add notes to each profile so you always know what’s what.
