The latest Sims 4 update has brought a wave of excitement, but also some confusion. Many players are eager to dive into the new features, but are unsure which game modes remain compatible. Let's clarify what works and what doesn't.

Modes Confirmed Working

• Normal Game Mode: This is the standard gameplay experience, and thankfully, it remains fully functional. All new features and content from the update are accessible here. Expect smooth gameplay and access to all the updated elements.

• Gallery Downloads: Downloading and installing creations from the Gallery continues to work seamlessly. You can still access and enjoy custom content created by other players.

• Build/Buy Mode: Building and furnishing your Sims' homes is unaffected. The update provides even more options in this mode, allowing for enhanced creativity in home design and customization.

Modes Experiencing Issues (or Limited Functionality)

• Mods and Custom Content: This area is where we see the most variability. While many mods continue to work, others may experience conflicts or require updates from their creators. It's crucial to check for updates to your favorite mods and to consult the mod creator's pages for compatibility information. Older mods may be incompatible and cause game crashes. Always back up your game files before installing or updating mods.

• Challenges: Some custom gameplay challenges, particularly those heavily reliant on specific game mechanics, might need adjustments to work correctly with the latest update. Check with the challenge creator for guidance.

• Career Mods: Career mods, which add custom careers to the game, are also at risk of incompatibility. Always check for compatibility updates with the creators.

Troubleshooting Tips

• Update your game completely: Ensure you have downloaded and installed all aspects of the update. Incomplete updates are a frequent source of problems.

• Check your game files: Game file corruption can cause numerous issues. Repairing your game files through the Origin/EA app can often resolve this.

• Enable/Disable mods selectively: If you're having problems, try disabling your mods one by one to isolate the source of any conflicts.

Important Note: The impact of the update on mods and custom content is highly variable and depends on the specific mod. This information provides general guidance; individual results may differ. Always exercise caution when updating your game or installing mods.
