We got a patch incoming on the fifth! As you all most likely know, patches tend to break gamechanging mods, and I wouldn't bet on this one being an exception to that rule.

Usually whenever there is a patch incoming I am stacking up on energy drinks and coffee, and get to work as soon as it drops in order to fix things as quick as humanly possible. However, right now I am in the middle of trying to sell my house as we recently bought a new one, and I got boatloads of stuff to be done with that throughout the entirety of tomorrow. This means I (most likely) won't be able to sit down to even look at what might be broken until at least a few hours after the patch drops. Once I get working on it I will do my best to get it up and running as quickly as possible, but as quickly as possible will be slightly later than usual this time around.

If the patch breaks the mod, please do not ask for ETA's on when it will be fixed, rather know that it will be fixed ASAP. And the Patreon versions always get first priority.

Now! What should you do to ensure the patching goes smooth and you don't get unexpected issues with your game afterwards?

Move all your mods and CC out of your Mods folder into a temporary folder prior to updating the game. Then, go for one of these two options:

If you are planning to play the game vanilla (without mods) after the patch: Start up a new save. If you don't, all your mod data will be missing and if you overwrite that save without your mods all your mod progress will be lost.
If you can't/won't/shan't play the game without your favorite mods, go to Origin, turn off Automatic Game Updates, Participate in Origin Client Betas and put Origin in Offline Mode. Wait until you get a confirmation from the mod authors of the mods you use to confirm that they are updated. Go online, update the Sims and update your mods.

Good luck, godspeed and all that jazz!
