Sims 4 Python Upgrade – no problem

sims4studioofficial:

Hi All, awhile back EA reps indicated that the company would be upgrading the version of Python used by the game. They said “the game currently uses Python 3.3.5 and will be moving to Python 3.7.0. Once this change is released, all compiled script mods will completely stop working.”

This caused a bit of consternation in the Sims community, as everyone was worried their favorite mods would break and modders would not be able to update to work with the game.

The tool most Sims 4 modders use for script mods – unpyc3 – has been updated by Andrew. Read more HERE. Please note, the code here is effective only after EA updates in the November patch.

The crisis has been averted, and Sims 4 modding will go on as usual (updates to existing mods may be needed – but those mods can be updated).

Kudos to EA for this Python update and giving the community a heads-up!

Sims 4 Nov Python Patch Prep

The good news is, the Sims 4 game code is getting updated (from Python 3.3.5 to 3.7.0) in the next patch.  The “bad” news is, it will break ALL SCRIPT MODS made using current code, similar to how November 2017’s Cats & Dogs patch changed a test method, and broke nearly all script mods from before then.  

We’ve recently been informed the Python update and the pre-pack tuning file changes will be coming in one patch, not long before Get Famous is set to launch (November 16).  

Protip:  Be sure to do one last round of batch fixes on your CAS and Buildbuy CC with Sims4Studio BEFORE you update your game.  We’ll be waiting for them to update S4S post-patch, also.  The same goes for Sims 4 Tray Importer… if you have custom content, finish everything you want to do with both of these programs, before the end of October.

Come November, you need to toss ALL your script mods out, and look for updates.  

Once the next patch comes, mods still being updated will quickly become separated from those that have been abandoned.  When you get ready to update in November, first, take ALL your script mods OUT.  Put them aside in a “Check for Updates” folder on the Desktop, if you like.  

We really won’t know what will change for CAS, Buildbuy, or GameChanger package style mods, until after the November patch has been deployed, and keep in mind, when Get Famous drops, it may lead to even more changes.  

With what we already know is coming, I’d recommend doing a vanilla test after you’ve updated, then, 50/50 your CC back in to see what still works.  Leave the gamechangers for after your CAS and Buildbuy are working, this time.  

Give creators time to update what needs it, a little extra patience will be necessary from all of us, once things get rolling in November.

Check in with Deaderpool’s Discord, we’ll be keeping up with news as much as possible.

Great advice.

Please be patient with modders because they are gonna have a hard time with this update. Be polite and don’t cause them to leave the community with hate!!!!

Remember, if you think you will find this stressful, then click “Go Offline” in Origin so it will not update and just update after the fuss has died down and you know what mods have been fixed (but remember you will not be able to download the new EP until you have updated).

I think I’m gonna go on a building spree while I wait for the mods to be fixed.

HOW TO EARN FAME IN THE SIMS 4 GET FAMOUS EXPANSION PACK

This week we announced The Sims™ 4 Get Famous Expansion Pack* And, we’ve got a lot of ground to cover. There’s more than one way to get famous, as you’ll find out, but here we’re going to explore what can happen when your Sim is on their way there. For even more on this subject, don’t miss the Fame Mechanic livestream happening on November 2, 2018.

So, where does a star begin to rise? It all starts in Del Sol Valley – Mirage Park to be exact. This is where talented up-and-comers reside, honing their craft, going on countless auditions, and streaming their way to the top of their respective industries. No matter which path to Fame your Sim chooses, it will have twists, turns, and even some detours, but it will all be worth it when – one day – they can finally come home to a gold-plated toilet.

Each Sim who lives in Del Sol Valley has a Public Image, which is a combination of Reputation and Celebrity Level. As their Celebrity Level rises, they’ll earn Fame Points, unlock perks, and gain benefits like slipping past the velvet rope at the hottest spot in town. There are many ways to earn points and get perks. Your Sim can perform music or jokes at open mic night, donate to their favourite charity, get an A-lister to hang out with them (fingers crossed!), or even be the child of famous parents.

Anyway, back to the perks. Has your Sim ever wanted to be a fashion trailblazer? Well, they’ll see it right before their eyes when other Sims begin dressing like them. Or, how about a fan favourite? When your Sim drops everything to strike a pose on Starlight Boulevard, passersby just might faint. But don’t worry about picking those fans up. Bouncers can deal with them. When your Sim unlocks the squad perk, they’ll lead a pack of other faaaabulous Sims they just can’t live without. Sims can’t possibly be celebrities without rolling up with an entourage.

Fair warning: fame comes with a price, and we’re not talking Simoleons. Fans and Stans can act, um, a little strange around your Sim. And don’t even get us started on the paparazzi. Can’t a celebrity live in peace?! Unless they choose to don a disguise, not really.

Now that your Sim is a proper celebrity, and they’re literally shining from head to toe, it’ll be the perfect time to move to The Pinnacles. They can look down upon the little people, thank them, and fall fast asleep in their pod. Yes, their pod.
