What about decoupling world state from frame rate on a technical basis? How do you do that? Why wouldn't you? (Spoiler: It works great when frame rate goes up, but it doesn't do so well when frame rate goes down)

Just deleted another Sims 4 creator from my lists for posting their entire mods folder with their Simdump. They had the nerve to thank one of the creators in their post.
Not cool, guys. Don't do this. And SIMMERS! Don't trust mods/CC gotten this way to be working.

Sure, it's easier to upload other people's CC and mods with your cute Sim than to make a list. But you, Sim dumper, aren't dealing with the results. Those of us who do support ARE dealing with it. If you make our volunteer job more difficult, I will NOT increase visibility of your content.

Seems nothing major has newly blown up so far (and yes, I'm aware I just jinxed it). Black photos with filters might still be the issue why it's happening. Paintings by ref are just entirely broken. Don't bother making any :D

On that last point, if you had EVEN ONE MOD in the Mods folder, you need to remove it and try again before reporting a game bug. Yes, that means Better Exceptions and MCCC. Yes, it means mods you can't name on the Forums because they're 18+. No, we don't care if it "worked before."

Today is the day .. Sims 4 is receiving a huge patch.
You know what to do.
- Backup your saves
- Put your game in offline mode if you don't want to patch
- Remove all mods/cc
- Do not play your legacy save until we know what's newly broken.
- Do not report your mod issues in the bug forum.

Sadly, has "extra colors" as a paid membership feature. Added to my "do not post if broken or updated" list for the EA Forums for violation of the EA code of conduct for #TheSims4 creators.
It is, sadly, a long and growing list. Lots of CC-rehosters added lately, who have CC-included Sim dumps.

Oh yeah. And after doing a run through new posts in Mod Issues... BETTER EXCEPTIONS IS A MOD. You aren't testing mod-free (as far as we're concerned on the Forums) if you didn't remove it.
And another of these. No, you did NOT remove ALL mods and autolights still reset every time you come back to you home lot. After more QA and Bug Reports volunteer time was wasted, I isolated this to the outdated MCCC and it's now in Mod Issues on the Forums.
MCCC IS A MOD. Remove to test.
MCCC IS A MOD. Remove to test.
I know some of you get support on Discord in servers where you're told to leave MCCC or BE in during tests. This does NOT APPLY in Bug Reports, or in ANY "vanilla" mods-related test at the EA Forums... especially after 1.118, when so many of you had problems BECAUSE you assumed MCCC was fine.

To keep sane, there's currently a few measurements in place in the bug forum: forums.ea.com/idea/the-sim...
Post saying: I only have MCCC or this and that mod WILL be moved to the mods forum. Please test without or post in the mods forum.
