Main Menu Overrides Broken After March 17, 2026 Update
Theย March 17, 2026 updateย introduced changes that broke all custom main menu overrides, including those managed by mod managers.ย ย This issue affects most, if not all, third-party main menu mods, regardless of the mod manager used.ย
EA changed core codingย related to the main menu, rendering existing overrides incompatible.ย
Aย hotfix (patch 1.122.1)ย was released onย March 18, 2026, which addressed the coreย .packageย file loading issue butย did not restore main menu overrides.ย
Main menu overrides remain brokenย until mod creators update their files to be compatible with the new patch.ย
Mod managers cannot fix this issueโthey rely on the gameโs ability to load override files, which is currently disabled by the update.ย
Remove all main menu override modsย from your Mods folder to prevent game errors.ย
Wait for mod creatorsย (e.g., Simmer Ciara, vyxated, Refreshed Main Menu team) to release updated versions.ย
Use the โoffline modeโ in the EA Appย to continue playing without updating until your favorite mods are fixed.ย
Check mod forumsย (e.g., EA Forums, Patreon, Reddit) for updated versions or temporary workarounds.ย
โ
ย Note: Start screens, loading screens, and CAS room overrides are still functional. Only main menu overrides are affected.ย
#I will fix my main menu overrides as soon as this is fixed #don't download my main menu overrides until fixed #loading screens work fine
