I have been experiencing long load times (also 2 minutes) when switching and a bit of lag sometimes after installing the whole pack. Is that normal due to the amount of CC (I play just with the pack content) or is something else wrong? Thanks in advance if someone is capable of finding the issue

 

With the exception of something like simulation unclogger, mods will always slow down your game.

How much depends on your computer specs and how many mods you have.

I've tiered mods on level of importance on the front page. Check out their download pages and if something in Suggested Mods doesn't appeal to you, remove them without too much worry.

If something in Optional Mods doesn't appeal to you, you can remove some things but consider that some lots will be missing some items and some gameplay elements will also be missing.

 

Most of the things in tweaks and tools shouldn't be needed for your enjoyment at all.

Personally, I mostly only get slowdown when I choose save and exit.

Thanks for the quick reply, I personally hate that loading screens take so much time as before I never experienced that. To be honest I love the Redux as it is so I will try to do sometest and see if deleting stuff helps the situation... Thanks again for the support!

After a while I'm back to comment, the expansion is out and now I want to know your opinion about it for the world. :v
As a piece of information that was commented a lot is that the Herbor apartments at the bottom can now be edited.

 

I wanted to upload some pictures that I took but they have been lost, my game died because of a mod that I don't even know what caused it :c

 

I hope the contest is still open so I can upload them later since I have to reinstall the whole game + mods

 

Edit.

If I remember correctly, AEP is no longer necessary, right?

If EA fixes the issues or we have a modder come along and fix them I'd say the next expansion is a mandatory purchase to play the save. One of my biggest gripes was that we have so many cool sims who are homeless due to real estate.

Now with this expansion, we can turn 64x64 and 50x40 lots into entire neighborhoods and half of the other lots to house two or three families. When I found out you can play as the tenants and don't need to be the landlord, I became ecstatic. Until someone makes a reliable world edit or copy mod, or EA turns a bunch of the empty shells into lots, this solves a lot of our real estate concerns.

It's open until 0.4 which is still a ways out.

It's been completely dropped in favor of Jug's mod which comes with a side career allowing non-actors to show up on the lot. So James and Owen can direct their films.

What is the problem? I tried it in the base game and it worked fine.

 

I understand why a lot of sims are without a house, even now I'm trying to repair my game (if it's not a black screen, it's a white one or I have no hud or it freezes inside the game) because I don't know what mods are screwing me up.(26k files)
I want to create an apartment lot in willow.

 

As for the 64x64 and so on I think it's a great idea, even if some sims that occupy them would have to relocate to other houses I guess, since they are not "normal" Sims.

 

And thanks for reminding me about AEP, I didn't remember if it was for 0.3 or 0.4 that it would be discontinued.

This is why I try to organize my mods as best as I can. I have a folder for clothes. And within that folder are folders named after the creators of the clothes. I have a different folder for furniture and objects, which is also broken down by creator.

 

I try and keep script mods in their own folders, since those are the ones that break most often. This way, if something breaks, I just pull out all the folders and load a new game. If it loads, I quit and put the clothes back. If that loads, then the furniture. If that loads, then other parts. If those load, then script mods one by one. First is usually MCCC. If that loads, I just keep going until the game breaks, then I remove the last folder I put in since that's obviously the broken mod.

 

Better to deal with the headache of organization now than do deal with the headache of hidden broken mods later.

same, all that cc I have it separated, but I have many loose files see the case of ww, mc, among others I have them loose and not in folder because if or if to have more than 100GB of Mods I need the game to detect the scripts fast and in itself my game takes 1 hr to open xD

Rent prices bug out forcing people out of the lots and to sue the landlord.

One of the best things is that we can place NPCs in certain spots so even if you don't use the gauntlet mods, meaning those sims are not 100% safe to play, you can at least hang out at their houses.

Wasn't the rent prices bug fixed in the hotfix yesterday or so?

 

For Rent makes such a difference to this save given the amount of apartments/motels/multi-house lots already in the game that can now be made functional and it's completely changed the way I play the save (and the game). I'm really excited to see how it turns out if it's officially supported in the next save.

Yes and no, rent bug still happens, but not as frequent as it did before the latest patch. 
 

edit: saw this on official page, if the billion dollar rent glitch does happen “ UI in existing saves should quickly update to normal by the next bills cycle”

I was finally able to solve the problems with the mods and some cc's, but now I am at another crossroads ._.

for a moment the world of tomarang didn't load with the world, I don't know what happened but it solved itself ._.

I decided to abandon 0.2 because it got completely corrupted and now I'm on 0.3 and I have the same problem I had before, lack of CC, and I did all the steps. xD

 

The black mesh in some male sims and kijiko's eyes that have conflict with many other cc's the worst thing is that I don't remember which are these mods to remove them :'v

 

if anyone knows the name of these CC's I would appreciate it, since I had to check the 34k CC files I have :'v

 

Edit. 

I found the files of the shaders among all that I have saved, I only have to find the eyes of kijiko again, this time I will have them in a folder for the next time I will know what they are.

Edit2.

the kijiko file that conflicts with other CC's is the next one. "Kijiko_yfHead"

in the CAS, in the body details section, it appears with 2 eye perspectives and the text "Remove EA Eyeleash".

To just play with the world and the Redux file has no problems but if you use CC apart it has conflicts, I think it would be good to mark it as a data.

 

Sorry for so much text, but I didn't want to create too many messages so I edited this one.

Did all the required and optional mods and for some reason all the woohoo options, try for baby, and first kiss options are now missing. I have the woohoo option turned on in the WW settings, anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Have you already checked that they are not deactivated?

Either from WW or MC you can check that.

I did check that, also all of the kiss options are missing, as well as the kiss and grind options etc. even at maxed out relationships. Everything works fine if I use a save file that isn't this one with all the same mods installed.

That's... weird. I'm gonna have to investigate this. 

Is anyone else experiencing this?

It doesn't happen to me, the only thing would be if you can tell me:

It's the whole pack that is broken, is it the accommodation/rental or is it Tomarang, because with the save I get a white screen in Tomarang, I was checking in WW, but not being an English speaker I don't understand the context that they mention.

You getting a white screen means you have broken mods in your folder, best to update only the mods @TriggerBlade listed on the main download page.  The cc in the torrent files downloaded are/should be good.

mmm, if I have all my mods updated, I even did a cleaning, above I left a comment of a cc that has conflict with others, but just in the Save 0.3 happens to me that I want to go to tomarang and goes white and I must return to the main menu, but if I remove the save if I can enter tomarang that's why I decided to ask here to see.

 

I will test again with my mods to see if it happens without the save.

I'm honestly not sure what the issue is. I really love what you've done with the world you've created and all the work that has gone into it. Ive tried removing mods one at a time, no change. Cleared the cache/file etc. no change. Occasionally if the ask to be woohoo partners pops up it will give me the options then for that specific sim but all of the kissing options are and will still be missing regardless of relationship/preferences etc. After searching the web I've found a handful of posts from people having this issue on occasion with WW in general but no known solutions, so it may be WW having an issue or conflicting with something unbeknownst to me and this save file just accentuates it for me for whatever reason, probably no fault of your own. I'll keep trying things and digging.

I was using this save for years before the redux dropped, asking a few questions due to why I stopped...

1. Any chance of the apartment update/pack adding more living space? I don't like playing the premade sims
2. Is there a way to stop the game from crashing due to the sheer number of mods? I have a beefy gaming PC but the sheer number of CC items in-game often makes my game crash.

The white screen happened to me as well, with this dreadful "For Rent" update. I can't remember which mod it caused it, wish I could., I did the 50/50 method I want to say it was one of the hard required mods that caused it. Not only do I work for this save but I play the game with all the mods/cc listed here.  My game is running decent with all updated mods. I did however chose not to add anything that hasn't been updated or mentioned if it works or not with this hellish "For Rent" update.

 

EDIT: I think it was the Venues mod that was causing the white screen, make sure you only have the ones listed in the main download page and that they are updated..

I've decided to attempt to reinstall this world in a more orderly fashion. Anything without a script file goes into the designated category and those with script files are installed into the main folder.

Eg:

Mods -> Lively Towns

Mods -> Optional Mods -> Royal Casino

 

 I'm currently a third of the way through but I'm happy with the organization this time around.

Just a quick question regarding Role Outfit Disabled by Choice. I know it's been marked as up to the player but I'd like some recommendations on what packages to install if any at all. I want to mirror TriggerBlade's and mrrakkon's world as much as possible.

@2. My PC isn't a gamer and I don't crash.  The Loading times take longer for me now with all these mods.  I used to run with maybe 700 cc's.  

I merged all the packages that are non script stuff into 2 GB files with Sims 4 Studio.

That broke down to 24 merged packages for me.  The Clothes alone took 8 packages.

After further testing I seem to have fixed the issue by removing the mods Emotional Inertia and Skarrds Perverted Expansion Pack. I'm not sure which one was causing the issue or if it was the two of them together but removing them completely fixed/resolved the problem.
