About This Thread
NOTE: This thread also covers the October 31st mini-patch.
This thread tracks Sims 4 mods and CC that have been "broken" or made obsolete by game updates or declared unsupported by their creators. It also tracks updated game mods and major updates to custom content. If you use mods, this thread's lists and ongoing reports can help you prevent game errors and help you avoid having to do a 50-50 of all your mods. Consider subscribing to the thread to receive notifications by email (select "Topic Options"). All dates are either from the creator's own file/post or are New York time, so if you're far away in Australia or similar, some dates will be a bit "off."
Some things are NOT covered:
In the end, YOU are responsible for your mod use. Because not all content and creators are covered on this official forum, many of you should be following creators directly for news. The pinned topic How to Use Mods and CC includes advice about game updates, mod management, finding broken mods, and how to avoid downloading broken and malicious content. And remember… Back up your Saves folder!

Need to tell me something?
If you're a creator, I welcome being contacted about known issues, updates, patch compatibility (although I’m now posting “cleared” for fewer creators/mods, I track it for support), mod adoption, and other news. My DMs are also open for creators here and on Tumblr (luthsthings). I can be reached on Discord from many Sims 4 creators' and Sims 4 support servers.
I do not respond to DMs for support unless I've asked you to DM me.

Newly Broken/Obsolete Game Mods
See also the Previously Broken list below for mods broken by earlier game updates. Updated Mods below includes mods that were broken, not just feature updates. Also listed separately: Broken and Updated CC below including gameplay objects.
Last updated: November 5
WARNING - DO NOT DOWNLOAD FROM MOD THE SIMS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE! See this post.
BROKEN/OUTDATED
NOTE: Many injector tools were broken by the patch. Most are updated. LOT 51 CORE LIBRARY and XML INJECTOR are required by many other mods. Both were updated on October 23. Also updated: Andirz reupdated updated MAL22's Trait Tracker Injector on October 31.
Broken: the injection tool by BrainBlasted
Updating injector mods will not guarantee that mods using them will be "fixed" for the path. Please keep save backups and check for those mods to be updated or cleared by their creators.
!! Don't forget to check Updated, below! Many mods there were very broken.

Updated Game Mods (including Loading Screens)
REMINDER: Do not download mods/CC from sites the creator has not uploaded them to. You don’t know if the mod is current and safe, and some site are even making money this way. For example, the site dlcfun is currently hosting several mods without consent of their creators.
Note: Only loading screen updates that fix a broken loading screen are listed here.

Newly Broken/Obsolete CC and Build/Buy Game Mods
See also the Previously Broken list below for a selection of CC and B/B game mods broken by earlier game updates.
NOTE: If your Occult eyes are broken, it could be a current game bug, not your CC. See the bug report here.
Last updated: November 5
Note: re. HQ Mod: HQ Mod users who own High School Years also need the EP12 replacement files instead of these being optional. This is to prevent glitches that include switching outfits in Live Mode.
Updated CC and Build/Buy Game Mods
NOTES: Cosmetic upgrades and minor tagging improvements are not included here. Many creators do not post why their CC was updated, and those updates will not get onto this list.

Core, Injector, Testing, and Protection Mods: Current Versions
This list covers "true" core/injector mods, venue lists, and similar mods that enable others; it not not cover recipe enablers. It also covers mods used for testing other mods and for protection against certain kinds of mods acting as malware. The current version number (if used), file date, and download sources are provided. The most commonly required mods are emphasized.

New Bugfix Mods
3 weeks ago - last edited 2 weeks ago
Previously Broken Mods
Obsolete as of Patch 1.109 (September 18)
These mods are either bugfixes that are no longer needed or mods that are no longer supported. For recently broken mods, see below.
Previously Broken
NOTE: This is a selected (NOT complete) list. Some modders have a note here to “presume all broken” based on a combination of how some mods are known broken and their inactivity. This list excludes many retired mods, many obsolete bugfixes, and many mods that have been long, long broken. However, it can be a helpful step and save many people from having to do a 50-50. The CC list is very selective.
Updated October 26
LE = last exception
Known Issues
Broken Mods
Selected Previously Broken CC
Note: Some things are duplicated here and in the list above if they’re build/buy gameplay mods.
