Calm Before the Storm (Sims 4)

In case you haven’t heard, tomorrow (Nov 13) we’re getting a patch for Sims 4 that will break ALL Script Mods, guaranteed. What’s going to happen to custom content, we won’t know for sure, until the patch is out and we have the notes.

Deaderpool’s Discord Support Team is prepared for the incoming patch. We’ve been through what’s about to happen, more than once. If you’re nervous, if you’re new to Sims 4, or to using mods/cc with the game, Don’t Panic tomorrow!!!!!!

Come to Discord and watch the show, instead. We’ll be keeping tabs on updates, as we test our own mods and cc, to see what still works, and what doesn’t.

Just a note, if you are Not Updating right away, we WILL still be offering support for both the new patch (1.47?) AND the current patch, 1.46.18, until we’ve had time to see who among Creators are still interested in updating their script and gamechanger mods. A slight departure from our normal “current patch version only” stance, for this special occasion.

If you’re unable to join Deaderpool’s Discord, DM me on Discord @ egwarhammer#3639 and I’ll look into it.

Good luck tomorrow!!

Hi!

Welcome to Simblr Direct, a directory of Sims creators, blogs, and resources.

We have aggregated tons of blogs across all the categories we could think of — custom content creators, storytellers, editors, players, and more — all sortable by the category of content you’re looking for.

Since we’re just getting started, we’d love if you would reblog this post to let your fellow Simblrs know about the directory.

Likewise, if you or you favorite creator is missing from the directory, tell us! And don’t be afraid to send us an ask with your suggestions, questions, or comments.

We’re adding new creators and categories to the directory every day, so head on over to take a look! We wanted to bring you one place to find it all, and we think we’re on our way to doing just that.

Thanks!

November's Here!

Do you have a plan for the incoming Sims 4 patch? November 13, the game is getting a Python code update that will make ALL current (game version 1.46.18) and earlier Script Mods completely USELESS.

Custom content affected will depend on what the patch does to in-game tuning files, same as always. Also, remember Sims4Studio and Sims 4 Tray Importer will both need updates, so be sure you’ve done everything you need to with both programs, before you update your game for the incoming patch.

This is the “Calm Before the Storm”… NOW is the time to go through your mods and cc, get rid of what you don’t use, organize what you’re hoping to keep into Folders, save links as bookmarks for the post-patch shopping/updating you’ll need to do, and so on. Batten down the hatches, it’s almost showtime!!

When the patch comes, I plan to do a pretty thorough clean out, here.

Patch.

Repair.

Folder Refresh (partial).

Play Vanilla. (While I’m waiting for MC Command Center and a handful of other script mods to be updated.)

By “partial” Folder Refresh, I mean, I plan to make a new set of Sims 4 folders, and roll a whole new save for testing on. I won’t be putting any of the older files back right away, except for a Copy of the one .save from pre-patch I’ve been playing on, to see how well it makes the upgrade leap. Also, I’m interested to see how a normally MCCC-modded save looks, without all the “cheats” applied.

I haven’t played Vanilla, with NO mods/cc, since sometime in October 2014. I don’t know how long I’ll last this time, either. But, who’s with me? I think it’ll be interesting, checking out what’s included in the game itself now, having played modded for so long. I don’t use many mods or much cc anyway, but for those who do, maybe a Fresh Look will turn out to be useful. There are things I haven’t seen yet in CAS and Build Buy… maybe I’m not the only one.

I also don’t know how much time I’ll have for this experiment, that depends on how busy Deaderpool’s Discord is, post-patch. I expect us to have quite a turnout. We usually do, following any patch, and with the code upgrade, this one is adding an extra wrinkle. (Bring your popcorn!!)

Sims 4 November Patch Thoughts

It’s fairly common knowledge that the incoming November patch (upgrading Python from 3.3.5 to 3.7.0) will DEFINITELY break all Script Mods. If this is News to you, here is the initial announcement by SimGuruModSquad (SGMS) on Officials, and also, Deaderpool’s comment to MCCC users, on the incoming change.

My suggestion to everyone would be to remove EVERYTHING from /Mods (and remove the localthumbcache.package out of Sims 4, also), before updating to the next patch.

The script mods from before the incoming patch are ALL going to be useless. The Python part of the patch won’t affect custom content, BUT, nobody can guarantee the content part of the patch won’t break some cc items. We’ll have to wait and see what happens, once the patch and notes are posted, and error reports start coming in to Deaderpool’s Discord, same as usual.

If your mods and cc are not organized, now would be a good time to do that. If your eyes just glazed over at the idea of sorting out your 23758237482 files, here are some quick and dirty organizing tips I put together, and if you ARE fairly obsessed with keeping order in your Mods folder, here’s a more in-depth post from Athena (Mac screenshots included!) on getting organized.

Keep in mind, after the patch, Sims4Studio and Sims 4 Tray Importer will BOTH need updates, also. BE SURE to do everything you need to, with both programs, before you update your game for the November patch. We’ll be waiting for these to come back online, as well as our script mods. You’ll find Mac and Windows links to both programs, and also links to how to do a 50/50 to find broken mods/cc, in this post from earlier this month.

Above all, Don’t Panic!! We’ve been through several big patches on Deaderpool’s Discord, and we’ve survived to tell the tale.

Just come and visit us, once the patch hits, whether you need help, or you just want to see the show. (Bring popcorn!!) We’ll be keeping up with updates as they happen, and as always, we’ll do our best to get you back into playing your game, as soon as possible.

Sims 4 Nov Python Patch Prep

The good news is, the Sims 4 game code is getting updated (from Python 3.3.5 to 3.7.0) in the next patch. The “bad” news is, it will break ALL SCRIPT MODS made using current code, similar to how November 2017’s Cats & Dogs patch changed a test method, and broke nearly all script mods from before then.

We’ve recently been informed the Python update and the pre-pack tuning file changes will be coming in one patch, not long before Get Famous is set to launch (November 16).

Protip: Be sure to do one last round of batch fixes on your CAS and Buildbuy CC with Sims4Studio BEFORE you update your game. We’ll be waiting for them to update S4S post-patch, also. The same goes for Sims 4 Tray Importer… if you have custom content, finish everything you want to do with both of these programs, before the end of October.

S4S Windows: http://sims4studio.com/thread/562/sims-studio-windows-wishes-open S4TI Windows: http://luniversims.com/files/file/73-sims-4-tray-importer/

Come November, you need to toss ALL your script mods out, and look for updates.

Once the next patch comes, mods still being updated will quickly become separated from those that have been abandoned. When you get ready to update in November, first, take ALL your script mods OUT. Put them aside in a “Check for Updates” folder on the Desktop, if you like.

We really won’t know what will change for CAS, Buildbuy, or GameChanger package style mods, until after the November patch has been deployed, and keep in mind, when Get Famous drops, it may lead to even more changes.

With what we already know is coming, I’d recommend doing a vanilla test after you’ve updated, then, 50/50 your CC back in to see what still works. Leave the gamechangers for after your CAS and Buildbuy are working, this time.

Give creators time to update what needs it, a little extra patience will be necessary from all of us, once things get rolling in November.

Check in with Deaderpool’s Discord, we’ll be keeping up with news as much as possible.
