MODS GUIDELINE ON PATCH DAY
🕑 Added 2024-03-13 06:33:53 +0000 UTCThese are broad criteria that will apply to my mods when a patch is released.
I'm writing this to give you an idea of what to look for and what mods can be kept in game without issue when the game is updated.
On another note, I'm working on something, but it's too early to give you a sneak peek; it's a big project, so I'll be silent for awhile.
All mods listed here are checked for the last patch (Crystal Creation) at the time of writing.
-> Safe to Use: Mods with no or minor overrides of files that are rarely updated by Maxis. These mods can be used when a patch is published because they will not affect the vanilla game. Some features of the mod may stop working or they may need updating to add new features but this is limited to the mods themselves.
-> Likely to Require Updating: Mods with overrides to files Maxis updates constantly and that can impact vanilla game if not updated.
Mod Issue Report Form: to be used if I cannot be found on Discord.
Discord Support Channel: more immediate than the form above.
I'm still adding mods to this list, so don't take this post as a list of mods that are safe to use with the most recent patch!
Likely to Require Updating Mods:
Security Settings on More Objects
The mod overrides object files. Some options added by new patches on certain objects may be missing.
Assign NPC Roles (Private Filters)
The mod overrides a lot of filters, may impact NPCs spawning as walkby, for roles or as visitors.
Magic Read Normal Books (Skillbooks)
The mod overrides the object tuning for the skill books. New skill books may need to be added.
Alchemy Ingredients Rework
The mod overrides recipes and Maxis adds stuff to those every now and then.
Careers Rework
The career files override all the career levels and will very likely require updating when a patch comes out. The financial system file has no overrides and is safe to use.

Very helpful guide.Are "tweaks" mods like "No happy and flirty animations' considered safe- seems like its a base game animation that shouldn't likely be touched? The same animations that bother you always bother me.

The energy one? That one has no overrides so it's always safe to use, I still need to verify that it still works as intended.

Autonomous go steady and propose is safe to use, as it has no overrides but I want to do some additions to it. No fire you mean no house fires?
Little L
Hi! I don't see in the « Safe to use mods » list "Autonomous go steady and propose" and "no fire" mods. Do they need to be updated? Thanks
