Simmers, We're investigating the missing roofs issue reported after yesterday's Base Game update. We're testing a fix targeting our July update, and pending testing, we'll share another update in the thread below as soon as we have more to report: https://t.co/8iijqn5NfT

Regarding Windows Ransomware Protection blocking Sims 4:
It looks like the Windows Ransomware protection is blocking Sims 4 again (possibly cause more users were switch to memory boost). If you have any issues with mods not enabling, pop-ups showing up over and over, check if it blocks:crinrict.com/blog/2020/10…
I discuss the Oct 22, 2024, Sims 4 base game update, including what’s new, what was and wasn’t fixed, the mod impact and the new bugs since the update. I also review some other common bugs from before the update. What was your favourite thing in the update & have you experienced any non-mod related issues? 😊🍁 #Sims4 #GameUpdate #Sims4Bugs #Sims4Mods
Many mods broke with the update, including most popular mods (MCCC, UI Cheats to name a couple, those have both been updated). As of the time I’m typing this, many others, though not all, have been updated.
Two good sources to see which of your mods was impacted are noted below:
Note that injection tools that are used by other mods broke with this update. The two main ones are XML Injector and Lot 51 Core Library. Both were updated on Oct 23/24, though XML Injector was reupdated on Oct 23/24. There are two other injection tools that were still broken last I looked on Oct 25/24, I see them mentioned on Luth’s list.
Also, some loading screen mods broke with the update, according to SimMattically, it looks like pack pictures may be replacing the plumbob at some point, or something like that. The tooltips will remain. Original tweet: https://x.com/SimMattically/status/1849068375101567463
Follow Up tweets:
To be fair, I based my original tweet on the code alone, before seeing how it looks. It mentioned a DLC banner with a name and icon, so it seemed like an ad.
The design itself is nice! It’s only frustrating that they turn an opportunity for aesthetics into an advertisement. 🙌🏻
I discuss my thoughts on what was covered in the Life & Death Gameplay trailer & some additional information revealed from SimGuru tweets. What was your favourite thing from the trailer? 😊🍁 #Sims4 #LifeandDeath #Speculation
We thought of this! Per lore he's an entity and doesn't really have a face; you never see it in game without cheats. His babies will be born from a new genetic preset of him so long as you're on a fresh save.
In the picture above – that is a lack of presets you're seeing for his facial features. Before now, you'd only ever see Grim's face via cheats so he didn't need them at that time.
Yes! What @jackofallgames7 said above is accurate about it being encompassing. But also, Bucket List and Unfinished Business are the primary ways to progress on your Soul's Journey (and they're tracked in the same UI) – to explain why the trailer goes straight into them.
jackofgames tweet re their understanding of Soul’s Journey:
My understanding is it collates different systems, like wants, aspirations etc. and brings them all together as one giant system, alongside new systems like the bucket list.
It seems to me that it’s organising all of these seperate systems into one big one.
Love when Grim says, "The truth is that old age, fire, and anger claim more Sims lives than any other form of death." Because that's an ACTUAL Sims 4 fact! https://t.co/kbwBe96HjX
TheSimsDirect Tweet Thread on Update Being Next Week:
On Tuesday, Oct 22, a big base game update is coming to #TheSims4. If you use game mods & custom content, you may want to remove and backup save files. This will also give creators time to update their content to prevent potential in-game issues.
