@egwarhammer I just realized I cant play the game until its patch... this stinks. I just wanted to add a FENCE thats it now I have to backup everything take out all mods... look up all mods for compatibility with the new patch... Its a lot of work! Why are these patches FORCED on us! I am going to read all those links now... Its just a low blow that EA forces us to patch our games before we can play!
They are not forced on you. I'm still playing the March patch

But you won't be able to add any more packs after that if you don't patch.
@egwarhammer can the mc be put into its own folder in the mods
Absolutely. I've started changing the name on mine so I can have a folder for each mod version... right now my MC is in /Sims4/Mods/MC 2.12.0 and it works fine.
You *can't* subfolder it (or any script mod, actually) any farther down than that, it has to be in /Mods... (example: it wouldn't work if you put it in /mods/ui mods/mc... too far down the tree.)
@egwarhammer i got it installed and its running ok. to keep sims from not "becoming strangers" do i flag to never cull?
No, that flag keeps them from being culled from the game.
You want the Decay Settings, under Computer > MC > Other Settings. There are two, friendly and romantic. There's also a setting to manage Baby decay (motives).
I do NOT know yet how this new "feature" from EA jives with MC's already-added coding. It *may* need something new. Still figuring it out.
I posted links there for DP this morning about the new decay, but I just woke up and haven't been there yet to see if he's read them.
@meetkitty123 if u havent installed the June 2nd patch..beware coz it caused.major problems for cc/mod users. Usually its just nods that become outdated gut there was a change in cas so all the cc is affected too.. Advanced debug is one that doesn't work now but there's an updated version made by someone else ib the comments section. Maysims hair 94f or 91f was also affected but its foxed so just redownload it if u have it.. There r threads with this info and more but these r the only ones I know off the top of my head
To all you beautiful people out there, have a lovely day.
@ChloeDeCookie I have been checking my mods too. That debuging one I need an update. Also have you or anyone else notice problems with getting alien pregnant? I cant get my male sims Preg at all. Is their a mod to fix this if it is a problem with the patch.
Culling is one way the game "improves performance" (insert sarcasm here) by Deleting Sims. It's pretty random. It doesn't delete housed sims, although there's an exception there. When it decides you have too many, it will reduce your population. It doesn't matter if they're sims you've played with or edited or anything, if they're in your bin, they're fair game. Doesn't matter who knows them, who loves them.
Relationship culling is different from sim culling and was also done "for performance" reasons. Vivian knew all 106 other sims in my town before I took MC out to look at this new devastation. Now she knows 15.
If you're catching on that I think that's a load of bull, good. What THAT does is removes all the sims you don't know well from your relationship panel. You can be in a club with people the game will then think you have never met, you have to reintroduce yourself.
Again and again, thanks to Dine Out's NEW thing, Relationship Decay.
That one is particularly nasty. It is reducing relationship LEVELS downward to the point that household members are STRANGERS, and marrieds have no romance bar.
And here's that housed-sim-culling exception I mentioned, once the decay hits, it can take your levels low enough that if there is a baby in the house, the game will REMOVE it (forever) because of NEGLECT.
Which the game is responsible for causing in the first place.
I'm still waiting for someone to tell me how removing babies from a life simulator game makes ANY kind of sense whatsoever.

That *may* be because of the changes made to how pregnancy works. You might want to browse MC's forum, search Male Pregnancy... DP's talked about it recently, there are settings you might need to change, or "flags" (CAS settings now) you might need to tweak on your aliens/males.

Im trying its been rough. I have not ever seen one male pregnancy or alien baby birth.
The thing about alien births is, I *think* those need to be instigated by the Pollination Technician. It's rare for mapped aliens to have alien babies, human hybrids are more common. Unless both members of the couple ARE aliens, I mean.
Here's ONE recent post where Deaderpool's talking about same sex pregnancy (applicable to males, too)... if you scroll down this link's page, you'll see more on the subject.

Do you have the woohoo module? If not, it could be that.
I am confused on one thing... who is the other parent when a male sim gets abducted and pregnant?
The Pollination Technician is a special hidden sim that's created when you get abducted... possibly only IF a pregnancy is made, but I'm not sure... PT could be made when the abduction starts.

Hello
Pollination Technician is the hidden sim that is the parent of children that are a result of being abducted.
You would already know this egwarhammer but using the MC Command Center mod you can unhide the hidden household. This was in the notes about the updated version of the mod.
Changed the MC Cheats option from the mailbox menu for "Unhide Alien Pollinators" to "Unhide Hidden Households". This will unhide any hidden household that isn't marked as EA for unique roles. This includes alien pollinators. Sims like Reapers, the Von Haunts and Collection Coordinators and such will remain hidden.
You may need to be a little careful though if you unhide the pollination technician, because you don't want to cause issues in your game with abductions. I have just posted about it to let simmers know what I read, but I don't want you to have game issues as a result.
Seriously this getting abducted and preg is just hard to get to work.
What's your Alien Frequency set on? (Under Occult settings). I have mine on High. Maybe try Alien Invasion? It says not to get comfortable at home because you won't be there long...
@egwarhammer My sims are getting abducted but no pregs... I havent changed or look in the settings you stated cuz I just read it. I will look for it.
Just to let you know, I'm testing for this too. I've got MY aliens set on Invasion now, because my first night of this new game I got zero action on High contact. I also haven't seen any alien walkbys yet, that may be a thing. Not sure. I'll let you know after another "window" goes by.
@egwarhammer i played and played I downloaded a family with an alien preg man and had him give birth to 3 I sent one back and kept 2 none of them had a second parent... so i went with invasion and 100% chance pregnancy both women and men after 4 sims days my sims were each taken 3-4 times a day no one came back preg then one day I invited a neighbor I never interacted with but that day and turns out he was rocking a small glowing tummy I had him move in and sped up his preg to labor and surely enough he had an alien with senior Pollination Technician #3 as the mother... I am so confused.
The person I wanted to get Preg hasnt and some odd random sim got preg before mine!
Can our sims meet Senior Pollination Technician #3? I tried unhiding hidden houses after the Alien baby was born. I cant find her house.
