moxiemasonss mod is still working just fine for me, maybe you have some other mod conflicting with?

Not for toddlers for me. This was a one mode (WW) and no mod test. With WW napkin change was censored, without WW it was not.

btw

About the new “tinder” app, it's going to be amazing with mods, being able to meet random people to fuck, it's going to be possible to do curious things if the modders come up with new functions.

wait... I just read, that there were people, leaking Turbos private infos and threatend to harm him, if he does not update his mod asap?
what the actual fuck is wrong with these people? what is wrong with society?

 

1. don't update your game until every mod is updated. Rule number absolutely fucking 1
2. just go to ph and wank over there for gods sake

 

the world would be such a better place without humans

1. Everyone's game is automatically updated, let's say by a pirate or licensers,

And yes, I didn't grab it, I've been waiting for a long time, And all people are different, everyone has their own character and their own opinion.

I repeat. He didn't get a job. And the money from Patreon is not a salary, but a donation. He didn't sign a contract with anyone, he wanted to do it - he did it. He didn't open a business. Like many creative people, he decided to monetize his business. And donations are voluntary, a donation is a donation.  And all this is voluntary on both sides. Turbo may at some point stop releasing mods and has the right to do so. And he can also get sick, go on a binge, celebrate something, go crazy and disappear. Like many mod authors, all this is done according to their good will and desire.  Neither we owe him anything, nor he owes us, we are not bound by any contracts.

And even if they would be employed by simmers to create that mod, there are things like workers rights . It's unfortunate that they are away while that update and expansion comes out, but our world won't crumble to dust if we have to wait a few days longer for an update. They have the same rights to a private life even if it inferes with a new expansion like any other here with their employer. And that includes time away from their work. So if you can't play the game without WW, use that time for something other. I promise you, you won't get harmed in staying away for a few more days from a fucking video game. Turbodriver owns the users of their mod nothing, even the ones that are paying for it. Because if that would be an employment situation, the worker has a right to quiet anytime they want. Let them have their break and than let them work in peace on the troubles the new update and expension brought forth.

no, if you set the EA app to "no auto update" it does not automatically update
and when it does not update, just go "offline mode" and start the game, I am still playing on the old version, without the last pack installed... and yes, with the EA app, every single pack legally aquired.

so by now, everybody should know now, what to to, when there is a big patch coming up.

but still, threatening somebody and leaking private information, because you can't wait a few days for a FREE mod, is just ridicolous

Don't worry, my second paragraph wasn't a response to Sandatharius (the first one was), but to a different person that I had quoted above said second paragraph. 

I 100% agree with you though and I think they definitely deserve to be reported. Anyone could clearly see that the mod needs updating after such a major update and change made to the game by EA. 

lol all those crybabies like sandatharius that got called out went through page after page reporting every comment they could because theres got removed for crying, you couldnt make it up haha

если вы установите приложение EA на «без автоматического обновления», оно не будет автоматически обновляться

But he won't let you play either. Instead of the "play" button, there will be a "update game" button, previously in Origin it was possible to launch the game by right-clicking on the game icon in the application, ignoring the "update game" button. Unfortunately, there is no such thing now so that you can launch the game from the context menu. It will ask you to update anyway. Let's say I only play online, I rarely switch to offline mode so that my game is not updated and it can be started.

just keep hold of it on your desktop or something for now and let everything get updated and try it again, theres so many things broken this time not just WW so it could be a good week or 2 before everything gets back to normal

Ich hatte automatisches Update in der EA-App installiert, doch leider habe ich den Fehler gemacht, das Spiel zu reparieren und so wurde mir das neue Update von EA untergeschoben. Ich will dies nur berichten und andere Spieler davor warnen das Spiel zu reparieren, wenn man das neue Update nicht haben will.

Long time listener, first time caller. Hoping to get some sort of "best practice" established for my own sanity.

 

I see people mentioning "just turn off autoupdates, and when there's a patch, switch to offline mode, duh!", but in my experience (with other games, not necessarily TS4, so maybe TS4 is different), usually the game launcher/platform will sassily tell me "there's an update available, go online to get it before we let you play, stupid"

 

That is assuming the EA app itself doesn't update, and "accidentally" wipe out your settings, reverting back to autoupdate=true (which I'm pretty sure is what landed me here, read below)

 

So, let me run a hypothetical by you guys: My PC starts, I go online, go about my business watching youtube or what have you, and unbeknownst to me, an update for both the EA app and for TS4 is pushed. EA app tells me "An update is available".

 

Question 1: If I switch to offline mode & unplug my ethernet after the TS4 update has been announced and the launcher is aware of the update (but not yet installed), will the EA app permit me to play in Offline mode still? My gut instinct says "no", in fact it says "they're probably going to remove offline mode one of these updates"

 

Question 2: In the event that the EA app and TS4 get updated at the same time, and the update is installed despite all of us having "no updates enabled", is there anything we can do to revert back gracefully if we have a saved copy of our installation files? Would we need to backup the current version of the EA app as well? This could be an easy fix with an incremental backup tool to keep X number of old versions, but not if we can't get straight back into Offline mode after restoring the files from backup.

 

I ask you this because when I installed Steam, EA, and TS4 on my new PC, I set everything to "don't update automatically"... and somehow, I don't know when, but that reverted, and now I'm here commiserating with everyone else on 1.108.335.1020 (under duress)

 

At this point, if I have to disable my ethernet adapter to play this game without my three (THREE, ONLY THREE) .TSCRIPT mods from breaking, I will do that. I just need to know if we HAVE to go that far.

 

TLDR: what is the current best practice for BOTH preventing updates AND rolling back to a (previously locally backed up) copy of the games files?

 

Thanks in advance everyone, I'm off to reorganize the GOD AWFUL file structure of my CC folder, here's hoping we can get a good "best practice" down.

I dont find the Sims 4 fun with WW, so ill happily wait for the update!

When the EA app opens, if the game starts to update, stop the update. Then, go to the drop-down menu at the top and select "offline mode."  I will say the one thing I've noticed with EA's app offline is that your game will just shut down somewhere around the two hour mark, so make sure you save regularly, especially if events happen you don't want to repeat. I don't think they will take away offline mode, but they definitely put a deterrent in place.

 

ETA: Go into your settings and turn off auto-updates if you haven't already.

If they do, I'll just go back to using crack version of the game. I find it bad enough that EA forces you to have an internet connection to even play Sims 4. Makes me miss the days of having actual disc copies of our games.

I will WAIT for all my favorite mods to be patched before I pull my game out of offline mode and accept updates. I have also backed up my installation, s4s and config/mod directories so I can roll back in case there is a problem. It is always a good idea to READ their blog and find out what has been broken beforehand. I know that some developers (like Khlas) will not patch their content until the WW patch is released. In the meantime, I am collecting updated mods and storing them for when I do decide to update. It certainly will save me headaches in the long run and I can still enjoy my game instead of dealing with last exceptions. The good news is that TURBO is working on fixing WW. Have a little patience and everything will be A-OK!

 

Yes, wise words. I allways do the same. I play in offline mode as long as modders need to get their mods fixed.  Then i look for updates on the mods in my list,. I have 3 folders: Updated, compatible and broken. Here i put the copy of mods in as they get cleared or updated or mentioned as broken. In the meantime i am enjoying my game without problems. Just wait instead of updating a game,, you know that is bound to break the mods you are using and then gettig angry and impatient. And people saying that Turbodriver should update his mod imediately because you pay him. Well he did not force you to pay. His mods are for free but you don't want to wait for new functionalities in game.  That is on you.  I for one hope Turbodriver enjoyed his vacation and i will wait patiently for an update whenever he can. Even if it takes weeks.

And if someone does not have an origin, but an example of an evil origin and a pirate with automatic updates? No one thinks about it.
