Back up your saves and make sure you're offline if you don't want your game to update.

If updating also back up your saves and don't forget to remove your mods folder.

    Is anyone else nervous? Of course, I'm always nervous around patch day.

    Oh wow, HELP and also HOORAY. That's a heap of good fixes right there. I've been out of the loop, I wasn't aware. Nice one!
    I'll hold off on updating my game until I'm 100% -ish certain the patch didn't break anything else in the process. Ye never know. I'm sure it'll be grand.

    I’m not updating at least until my mods are available, so it’ll probably be a while for me. Good luck, people!

    I play on console so I have no mods, but I am still nervous.
  • GoodywoodGoodywood Posts: 4,641 Member
    I usually play offline until the mods I have are updated. But I also back up my TS4 folder with every patch update even though I play offline.
    PLEASE FIX TEENS IN TS4! I NEED YOUNGER TEENS NOT YA TEENS! (^_^)Please add Music Bands with lead singers! Please add vehicles and garages! Vehicles have always been part of The Sims.

    I'll be playing offline until my mods are up to date/cleared, but hoping it goes well!

    Nope. But I'm going on the assumption that it is and keep reminding myself that I'm not going out for lunch or to work in a cafe this aft. (I don't often have very portable work these days, but today I do!)

    No, but the assumption is that the patch will come out today ahead of the two new kits on Thursday (which is definite).

    Should I be nervous? I don’t remember having a problem with an update in the past, and mccc is the only mod I use, that seems to be pretty reliable

    @fujicakes1 If the update impacts MCCC it is one of those mods that gets updated fairly quickly. So no need to be nervous on that front. If the update itself introduces issues then you will need to wait for a hot fix from EA to correct it.

    If you put your EA app in offline mode before launching the game then any update will not be applied so you can continue playing your game until you can judge the impact of the update before playing online again and updating your own game. Offline mode would need to be reapplied each time as it does not generally persist between game sessions.

    I have 100+ mods and quite a bit of CC so I play offline all the time and only update when I'm sure my mods will work properly. This can sometimes take a couple of weeks after a major update with a lot of forum reading looking for mod update notices on AHQ.
    Cheers

    I did not know the kits were definite for Thursday! The food updates must come before the Bistro kit. Thanks @luthienrising and @PandoraTO !
