This user has the following games installed:

Sims 3, World Adventures, Ambitions, Late Night, Generations, Pets, Showtime, Supernatural, Seasons, University Life, Island Paradise, Into the Future
Default Update???


Am I the only person getting this, or is there really an update?? I wasn't exactly sure where to put this. Other places I have tried asking, have sent me to their help spots thinking Im asking for help, when really Im asking a question because, HOW? This game hasn't been updated in years, and I played this until the wee hours of the morning (not sure if you can see in this picture I added). So Im asking, is there really an update, or is my game tripping? ((I never added anything new to my game.. everything in here are things that have been in my game for years.))

Apparently EA did an update to fix compatibility issues with newer Intel processors. Basically the same thing the Alder lake patch does. Being pessimistic, I keep imagining the update breaking my game, especially since I already have patches and fixes applied to my game. 😒

It's been only 3 years since the Alder Lake problem came up: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical...25/m-p/14391219

It broke core mods.

But like, how badly? At least in my game, I put NRAAS Master Controller, Error Trap, and Overwatch back in, plus Simler90's Core Mod, and the game seems to run... okay? Wait a minute, on second thought I might have ran into an issue- in my test save, I somehow managed to have a townie who was both a tattoo artist and a firefighter co-worker. But that's the only issue I noticed- I didn't get the message saying I had outdated script mods, and other parts of the mod functions worked.

Justice for Viola Monty!

Did it? I haven't had a problem yet with the mods that I have in my game. Hm, I need to see. Thanks for responding!

As of now, I don't have any issues with my game, and I've got nearly all of Nraas mods and a few other script mods in my game.

the update's only for Windows users, right? I play the game on Mac and it's 1.70

You don't want to run Simler90's mod with ErrorTrap and Overwatch at the same time, as they modify some of the same things and will conflict with each other.
