Mod: Difference between revisions

Also, players are advised to check for updates every time they buy a new expansion or stuff pack. Out of date mods can cause save game files not to be [[Load game error|loaded properly]]. Also, there is a chance that the save will be corrupted if it is run with an outdated core mod. [[The Sims 3/Patch 18|''The Sims 3'' patch 18]] fixed the issue to some extent by prompting the player if any out of date mods are installed.

 

 

As with some cheats, mods which allow users to use "illegal" actions, or which make features available in areas where they normally are not, may cause problems in the game. But unlike mods, cheats do not [[Game Crash|crash the game]] if they allow illegal actions although some (such as [[Moveobjects]] and [[testingcheatsenabled]]) can cause problems if used incorrectly.

 

Another issue is that mods created with ''[[The Sims 2: Pets]]'' would cause an older game to crash. For example, if a player's game was loaded with an object created with the ''Pets'' expansion pack, it would crash an ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business|Open for Business]]'' game. This issue has reportedly reappeared in ''The Sims 3'' with ''[[The Sims 3: Pets]]''.
