Here we go patch is coming again


Recommended Posts

With the new content incoming a patch is coming that will pretty much break a ton of stuff. You can either play other things until the dust settles, play your sims unmodded or do these steps to keep playing until the modders get caught up.

 

1) Turn off updates and go offline in Origin. Start origin, go to application settings, turn automatic game updates off, also under the same origin tab hit go offline mode and play your game. You won't be able to do gallery things but you can play your modded game until things get fixed.

 

2) Turbo has stated he won't be around for a bit. I forgot the exact date he gave but if you update your game too bad. You'll just have to wait until he can get to it but he has said he will try from afar to do what he can.

 

3) If you have mods you love I suggest you follow the creator on a regular basis to keep track of progress, most of them are approachable and do a good job of keeping you updated on things. For me if the creator has been MIA for a while I drop the mod. I can't mess with that until Sims 4 is final and updates stop. 

 

4) SimsVIP usually keeps a broken mod spreadsheet of the status of mods and they update it on the regular, keep an eye out for that.

 

5) Not patch update related but it's always a good thing to keep a back up of your Sims folder. Go to My Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4, copy that entire folder to another HDD or jump drive. They have gotten very affordable and there's no reason not to have one. If something happens I don't want to have to find the 115GB of CC I have or lose a save where you spent so much time setting your towns up with the sims you want, do you?

 

This usually falls on deaf ears but I try to put the word out, if it helps one person it's worth it. Hope this helps.

Im new to adding mods to my game so this is really helpful for me thank you! ?

Always keep TS4 offline, you can turn it online in game when you want to use the gallery. Keeping it offline means you won't need to remember to do it, since they patch pretty consistently. Always keep a copy of your mod folder, or the entire TS4 folder, either on the desktop or on another HDD.

I just copied the entire TS4 folder onto another HDD after reading this so thank you! I went into the settings and turned off automatic game updates and origin updates, I cant find the go offline mode in origin though

It's in the Origin menu and is not visible when the program first opens.  When there is a Sims update it is safer to start up Origin separately (and making sure it's offline) before starting the game.

I think you do it from your profile, but I can't remember 100% because I never go online anymore unless I just want to look through the gallery. I would keep the auto-updates off as well. At least I can play with my game as is until I get ready to update everything.

Thanks everyone! ?

 

I noticed that im always offline unless I want to go on the gallery, then I always get the option to go online or stay offline so I guess I'm offline everytime I start up the game. Not sure how but works out great for me!
