About This Thread
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 non-cosmetic 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.
Some of you will be familiar with the thread – it takes over from the threads I ran for several years on the Sims 4 Forums, to which you may have been sent from here before. In this new home on AHQ, you can subscribe to the thread to receive notifications by email (select Topic Options).
Some things are NOT covered:
In the end, YOU are responsible for your mod use. Read the FAQ about mod use in the Resources list below. Keep back-up copies of your Saves. Read each mod's installation instructions. Delete old mods before you replace them with updated ones. Follow creators to get direct news from them.

Need to tell me something?
To contact me with news about mod updates, my DMs are open here, on Tumblr (luthsthings), and on the Sims 4 Forums (luthienrising). I can be reached on Discord from many Sims 4 creators' and Sims 4 support servers.
If you’re a creator, I especially welcome being contacted about known issues, updates, clearing mods for a patch, mod adoption, and other news.

Broken/Outdated
Child can be Carried by Adults and Child can care for Toddlers – Sofmc9 – not functioning as intended
Empty Outdoor Trash – lotharihoe – discontinued as stand-alone; now part of Waste Manager Overhaul
Heir/Spare Traits – DaleRune – tuning error
Insurance Company Life Insurance – NickyClem
NOTE: Changes to ingredient tags have had a significant impact on some cooking mods. Two of these are listed below, but there are likely others. Typical things not working with the mods in are grocery shopping, Simple Living, and ingredient use, plus the new categories aren’t accessible until those mods are updated. Removing cooking mods can cause errors if not done right, including lots not loading. Please check creators’ instructions when you plan to delete cooking mods.
Obsolete
These mods are no longer needed and should be removed.
Obsolete but could be kept:
Possibly obsolete (mixed reports):
Lotharihoe has discontinued download and support for several mods:

Cleared by Creator for This Patch
Cleared content is listed by creator. Not all creators clear their mods, especially not for smaller patches. Clearing of mods does NOT guarantee that they work: a creator may have missed an issue.
Note: Many cooking mods will be updated later to include the new recipe categories and tags. For now, choose between your “cookbook” mods and the new categorizations.

Ongoing Reports
To keep up with reports on outdated and updated gameplay mods, CAS and Build/Buy custom content mods, new bugfix mods, and related Sims 4 tools – not just catch up when your game won’t behave or you’re returning to Sims 4 after a long break – you can subscribe to this thread. The top posts will be regularly updated with the more critical reports, but not all reports will appear there.
As noted in the top post, not all mods and creators are covered here. In the end, your use of mods is your responsibility.

Obsolete
These mods are no longer needed based on the patch notes and should be removed.
Some of you may also find that you no longer personally have a need for LittleMsSam’s Calm Bees interaction mod, based on the fix to “Bees in the bee box won't calm down.”
Updates
TwistedMexi updated Better BuildBuy to v3.0 just before this patch; it has NOT been cleared for 1.101. I advise waiting for it to be cleared before you update.
Broken/Updated
This game update includes extensive changes to cooking, affecting Live mode UI, recipes and their categorization, and small appliances. If you’ve decided to re-enable mods right after updating, you may find that mods related to cooking and small appliances cause issues.
