Getting past EAs new bullshit censorship??

[dsmbear]

So, I haven't played Sims 4 in about 2 years, but last week, I decided to pick up the game again and tried to find my old mods and install them, but apparently, EA went with this mod manager called CurseForge???  And apparently, it won't allow Wickedwhims and other adult mods.  What the fuck?? surely, there is a workaround?  Thanks in advance!

Use Nexus Mod Manager/Vortex, Mod Organizer 2 or just manually install mods. Curseforge was never necessary.

You do not need a mod manager at all for Sims 4 installs, its literally drag and drop into the Mods folder. Put things into folders to best organize and you won't have issues.

I have Wicked Whims and also get some stuff from CurseForge.  It isn't a problem.

I've been modding this game since 2016 and have never once used a mod manager beyond folders. Just don't use the manager.

Do not use a mod manager for anything. Ever.

Yeah same, playing TS4 since 2017 and never used any mod manager even with a mod folder that is around 100Gb.... Once you know what you do there's nothing complicated enough to need such a thing.

Thanks everyone for your input!  It would appear that I hit the panic button when I first heard about this curse forge thing, and yes, I found where to install non-curseforge mods, including Turbodriver's mod!!!

The only good mod organizer is Mod Organizer 1 or 2 (virtual folder, mod archive system with script to install/update complex mods) and it doesn't work for TS4 mods. It's really sad but TS4 modding community is far behind fallout or elderscroll ones. So, I'm using Windows Explorer too.

 

Curseforge sucks because : they cannot install properly "complex" sims mods (if you have to remove or move optional package for example), they don't have an open API to manage the mod with you own tool.

Yesh I really like Vortex. Drag, drop and it helps sorts conflicts out.

I gues, for normal people, the CurseForge Mod Organizer is great. Or for kids, that do not have any experience and only use CC clothing or so
