Although this is a game bug, not a mod problem, some mods turn on cas.fulleditmode and might trigger it when you aren't expecting it. This is a serious bug that can corrupt your CAS UI across saves. There isn't a mod fix for this bug.
The bug can occur for any household in which a sim has an extra trait, whether or not you have the new EP.
A work around to this bug:
If you go into CAS and notice the [...] of the 4th trait, you can hit the 'reroll traits' button to get the sim set to 3 traits, then manually put in the 'proper three' that you want there. You will lose the 4th trait, but now the sim can be safely edited and saved.
Check every member of the household and reroll them before making any other edits.
If you edit ANYTHING else before rerolling, you will corrupt your file as per this bug, so exit out right away without saving.
(For me, when I mess up and edit something else first, parts of my UI freeze up - so I can tell when it's become corrupt. But even without a freeze - if you do any of this in the wrong order just exit out right away to avoid risks).
Also - it's still a good idea to make a copy of your save folder FIRST until this bug is fixed - just in case.

Zebru has updated the mod "Less Music Wants" https://zerbu.tumblr.com/post/701024556841943040/the-sims-4-mod-less-music-wants I've released an update for Less Music Wants that splits it into seperate packages for each pack. This is because of a LastException that can occur if you have Growing Together but are missing other packs. You can now delete the packages you don't need.

Thanks @briesims. My recollection is that QMBibi is aware of that and says it's not causing in-game issues. It may be one of those LEs that means a later game update could cause extra problems. I'll add a note on p. 1 that there's an LE.

There's more to add but I have to rush off to some other things right now. I'll get the other things that just showed up in my inbox later today.

Happy Hoppers (ChippedSim) - ChippedSim kindly requests that people please stop asking for the return of this retired mod. See the post linked below for why - and for why players need to STOP constantly asking creators to do more work and faster work and need to be POLITE, and that doesn't only mean "no swearing." I spend a lot of time talking with modders, hearing their stories. I am never, EVER surprised to see a modder quit.
Using a mod doesn’t give you any rights over it. The creator can decide what to do with their content. If they decided to take it down, they don’t owe you anything. - ChippedSim

The 04-02-23 buymore_phone update from Bienchen is still throwing a Last Exception error according to TwistedMexi's Better Exceptions (Confidence: 100%), "Exception in Unknown timeline: Exception running Element (AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'icon_override')". This mod always worked fine for me until High School Years released. I don't own that Expansion Pack and none of the updates for this mod from Bienchen have worked since that time.

Got a similar error, maybe even the same one, and I do have HSY. Running over to Bienchen's thread now.
@WildIrishBanshee - I'm pretty sure there was a big phone update in a patch around the HSY release, so maybe the buymore_phone mod error has something to do with that.

This is giving an error for Bust the Dust and is being updated.
"Storage Cabinets" are working just fine, but counters needs to be removed.

A note about creators and content not reported here
Now and then, a modder I used to include in this list might drop off it, as a few recently have. This typically happens because I've found that they
have copied another modder's code without permission
have copied companies' trademarks or copyrighted designs
have content behind paywall or similarly gated beyond Maxis's guidelines
use a cracked (pirated) game or pack (as Scarlet notes, even apart from ethics, this has issues for testing)
host their content such that by sending players to it, I'm sending them straight into non-T-rated content
A mod might drop off if it's been updated to no longer be T-rated.
If you're a creator and have reorganized your content (for example, it's now downloadable from Curseforge) or updated content to remove trademarks etc., please let me know! I really do want to include you and your mods here, but I need to respect both Forum rules and my own ethical boundaries as a culture worker.

I had forgotten to update this mod. I have the 3-26-2023 update of it and it is NOT throwing that exception for me.

@Jyotai - That's really odd. I get an LE error with the 3-26-2023 buymore_phone. I even get a Last Exception even if buymore_phone is the only mod in my Mods folder. I'm not sure why you wouldn't get an error unless there's something in the mod that requires High School Years and possibly Growing Together, neither of which I have. Although @WildIrishBanshee, who has HSY, said they were getting the error, too.
@friday027 I have all packs, and yes, get the LE when clicking on purchase gifts on the phone. I have posted about this in Bienchen's thread, which may be a more appropriate place to discuss it. @Jyotai
@friday027@WildIrishBanshee Please do take that there! Also, a test with *only* that mod, and you can also get support at the Deaderpool or SAD servers in isolating real cause. Very occasionally an LE points to the wrong thing - currently one that's a game bug is actually pointing at one of Lumpinou's mods.
