I noticed not many mods are made anymore. ( Not 2015 not 2016) for Sims 3. The majority are from 2014 and before. But do they even work in the latest Sims 3 update? I keep going to the modthesims.info site and many say "they will conflict with..." So I'm weary of what i can even install.
My Sims is the latest update which i belive is 1.69 but all these mods say they were made for previous versions of the Sims 3.

others may have more experience with it than i do and might give more insight.@igazor may know if he's lurking
Core mods on the other hand do need to be made for the specific patch level that you are playing.
The problem with core mods is they check your patch level and if it isn't exactly the same as the number they are checking for they put up a message and that message is annoying but won't break your game. That seems to be the main reason why core mods need updating for patch 1.69.
Core mods are rare. Error Trap is the only NRAAS core mod you are likely to have. @igazor can explain better than I can though.
If I come across a mod that works for a patch level that is below the patch I'm on and I really want it I will test it.
I'm mostly talking about CC but I do have quite a few mods that were made for lower patch levels and still work with patch 1.67. And if they work for patch 1.67 they'll work for 1.69.

As far as script mods go if it's compatible with 1.67 it's compatible with 1.69 because no game files were changed with the 1.69 update. I think most 1.63 version mods work with 1.69 as well.
And like Karritz said the core mods still work but throw up messages of version mismatch but otherwise are fine.
As for everything else, I think I have several mods that are for older patches, but work. It really does depend on the mod and what it was meant to do.
Do you have any examples?
Sorry folks, the OP is not really seeking the answers to all these mod questions. But no, there were no changes whatsoever to game play with Patch 1.69 over 1.67. And whether mods designed for older patch levels still work totally depends on the mod in question and what is was made to do.
