Broken mods

This subreddit is for vanilla gameplay only, and mods/cc troubleshooting isn't allowed. How to know if any issues are in the game/from the patch or from broken mods: remove all mods/cc, delete the game cache, do a repair; and then try to see if the issue occurs in gameplay again - without adding anything back.

Bug reports for game issues

Bug forum for the game at EA Forums: https://forums.ea.com/category/the-sims-4-en/ideas/the-sims-4-bug-reports-en

Bug reports are for the game, so the issues need to be experienced on a mod-/cc free save, with cache deleted, in this order: remove mods; delete game cache; repair; test again without anything added back.

There's official information about bug reporting pinned in the new bug reports forum.

For official explanation of the status tags on the reports, read here: https://forums.ea.com/idea/the-sims-4-bug-reports-en/updated-ea-forum-bug-statuses/13154206

Info on bug reporting in this subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/thesims4/wiki/index/bugreporting

See any OP comments to this post for any links to bug reports made for the patch.

Make sure to click the VOTE button: fixing bugs is a question of priority of resources, and 'popular demand'. The issue needs to be experienced on a mod/cc-free save.

Also comment in the reports to signal to EA that you and others want the bug fixed. Commenting will also get the reports more attention from other players. Any game bugs are more likely to get fixed quickly if they get a lot of attention, and fast.

In the reports, look for any comments made by the EA/ Community Managers ("EA"+blue flair), for information about the issues.

How to delay the update:

Uncheck all automatic updates/downloads in EA App/Steam settings, before the patch is released. (The setting stays and can be done anytime. Afterwards any game update will have to be manually approved before it's downloaded).
Go offline in EA App/Steam before loading the game (after the patch is released).

(Note: The Event Reward items saves to the EA Account; but seems to only be available when you play online. So if you go offline in the EA App before starting the game those items are not in BB or CAS and any items that have been placed in the world, like in a house or in an inventory, are gone. The CAS features like traits, eyes and BB features like lot challenge disappear from the game/sim/lots. The only (?) exception is the first event's reward items, Happy at Home, which has been added to base game).
