Pets patch «12345678...Next Go

Bronwin2

I see from other sites that the Pets patch is expected to break a lot of mods. Any idea when the patch will come out?

Based on previous timing, probably tomorrow (Thursday), but possibly early next week.

FWIW, there are usually a fairly quick updates for popular things like MCCC, Show Sim Info, etc. If you need those, I'd be tempted to just back up your Saves (just in case), pull out your mod folder, and get to know the new pack while you wait.

I do not allow for auto update. Then I can remove my mods before updating.

I'm not surprised if this patch breaks a few mods and CC. There's going to be a lot of changes to certain files that these mods modify to speak. Can't imagine not having MCC for a little while until the next update.

I think it is recommended to remove all mods, install the patch and then replace bit by bit to see what works and what doesn't. I think with pets ability to interact with so many objects - especially the scratching on furniture, etc - creators will need to look at updating their objects. I don't use CC personally.

Bronwin2

Right. I agree on removing the mods and putting them back slowly. I went ahead and pulled everything and then did a semi-factory reset. I will put things back after the patch and expansion release.

I JUST downloaded a cc couch that’s so homey. Now I’ve got to remove it

NorthDakotaGamer

Yeah, I am hopeful that since I refuse to get this EP because of the lack of birds as pets that the cc furniture I have will still work.

I hope it comes out tomorrow so I can play with the new roofs and the size down cheat while I wait for the EP.

I seriously can't play the game anymore without the MC Command Center Mod! I'll miss it so much (even though, you know, I'm sure they'll fix it rather quickly, but it's still going to feel like a century to me...), but let's hope the cats and dogs will prevent me from thinking too much about it! Other than that, I've got a Paintings Mod (that changes the paintings the Sims create), some Skintones (though I'm planning to remove them altogether), a Quadruplets and Quintuplets Mod, a NoDistanceBlur Mod, an InsectSpawner (but I'm not sure if it still works, I haven't tried in a while), the Faster Character Values Mod and some new Aspirations.

I guess none of them will work, right?

I hope it comes out tomorrow. There's a few roofs that I need to complete using the new roofs in the patch. Really excited for the "shrink ray" command to size objects down.

I know playing without MCCC is going to take a toll on how I play. I'm torn between speeding things up in my households, so that all the children are born, even if I have to split them up into other households, as I would imagine they'll disappear if I remove the mod. Or, I'll put a pause on that game save until Deaderpool can update and just concentrate on my other save, for now. That one I won't need any more than 8 Sims in a household. Phew! Who knew this was coming? Wow.

I have to admit, it'll be tough to play without MCC, but I'm pretty sure it will be updated fairly quickly. Thankfully I don't have many mods that will break since most of what I've downloaded are CC items for Build, Buy, and CAS.

I'm glad I don't really gotta worry about it since I have no mods. :P

Sadly, I think a lot of buy CC will get broken as well, if dogs can jump on sofas now, CC sofas may no longer work, we had lots of CC single beds throw Lastexceptions when Parenthood came out because of the new hide journal under the bed animation, so CC sofas may do this as well with any new animations that might come with them, also CC kitchen counters might not work as cats can jump up on them. I use a lot of Peacemaker_ic CC and on his blog, he is gearing up with fixes to his CC if C & D breaks his stuff.

I do not use them as well and am interested in some of them but I would hate to pull and put them back.

True one of the reasons why I prefer vanilla.

Well, this is wonderful... I wonder if it'll break that fall mod me and other people are using, I also was using that grocery mod, the smaller mosaics mod, mod poses, that fame mod, that one violent mod) custom food and others.

I also recently added those nice CC mods from the country living and Teeny tots stuff, wonder if they'll have to be fixed too.

Lord, I realize that this patch will definitely break any game-changing mod, including MCC command center, triplis,icemunmun and necrodog mods, wonder if custom traits will be affected as well.

Thank goodness I have my folder organized or this would be a horror show.

I hate that we can't stay at a patch level until the mods are fixed, we have to update it as soon as it comes out....

No you don't. Just stay in offline mode in Origin and you can play without an update

When you log into Origin, just press Offline Mode, and it will run fine. I personally did this when a few annoying bugs get reported (like the spicy food bug).

I'm curious IF the patch will come tomorrow, I don't think so tbh. We already have the livestream. I doubt they are releasing the patch too. Just my two cents.
I think it's coming next Tuesday November 7th, 3 days before the release of the EP.

Same, except for one, I just have the Lag Simulation Fix because I need the mod to play, otherwise my game is unplayable.

Really? So when the patch comes out I don’t have to update it immediately? Thank goodness. Thanks for the input

I heard that was one that was possibly being fixed in this patch…I could be wrong, though…

I wouldn't expect the patch this week cause SimGuruDrake said they were focusing on the Livestream this week hence why we're not getting a trailer this week.

Not just mods I'm worried about. Big patches tend to break some objects and gameplay features and this is without mods or cc.

Eliharb

Well you could wait for Sims4studio to release an update. For those who don't know it, it can modify CC to work with updated game features. They did an automatic fix thing with all CC tables/chairs when Dine Out came out.

I don't see why focusing on a livestream = no patch. I believe we're getting the patch today.
