Critical Updates for July 1, 2025 Patch

Hi everyone! Gameplay Overhaul, Dine Out Reloaded, SSFT, Colorpicker, and Disable Autonomous Chat all broke in this patch! Edit: Also Collectibles Ready is fixed. I don't normally like to send out emails but this many mods breaking at once is very rare for me. I had to get on it quickly to get them working again. In addition, I went ahead and released what I feel is a vital improvement to SSFT.

Back to Weddings and Easy Relationship Cheats

I just wanted to put out a quick update for everyone about what I'm working on atm. While I still plan to do some development of Dine Out, to expand upon the fun guests idea and make family/fun restaurant establishments a deeper system, I wanted to explore some other things.

I've received a ton of requests from people that I return to My Wedding Stories. I had originally tuned up the weddings to work much better than the base, but EA put...

Sims 4 DO Reloaded v4.1: Immediate Plans

I just want to make a quick post to all my new and existing patrons about my plans for the new bar and entertainment guests in the next major update. I will, of course, continue to refine and fix any bugs I find.

I plan to separate bar and entertainment options. While you don't require a bar, I want to expand this to allow you to offer relaxing, social, and physical activities with the entry fee system.

Dine Out Reloaded Progress Update + Real Estate Fix

I'm nearly done with Dine Out Reloaded v4, but want to tune it so that everything makes sense. This will take some testing, so we are working hard to make sure the feel of it is right. I have new bar customers that will desire fun and socialization, and also want to enable THREE COURSE MEALS. Of course, in order to make that happen, it also needs to be possible to hire more staff (in particular, waiters).  I've got a lot of this done alre...

Money-making Bars for Sims 4 Dine Out!

Having a mixologist on hand at a restaurant should do something for the establishment. For this reason, I am planning to start work immediately on a system that lets you make money off ordered drinks at restaurants.

As a stretch goal for a near-future release, we could perhaps make it work without requiring you to have a chef at all! You might have to slap a chef station in the basement to fulfill lot requirements, but it sure seems li...

Coming Soon: Dine Out Reloaded Improvements

I had a bit of a slowdown recently due to a loss. However, I'm getting back into things and feeling good. I wanted to write Patrons and let them know that I am going to be doing some stuff to boost the quality of Dine Out: Reloaded.

I've already created a system that will be released for Patrons that includes a new per-lot settings feature. Letting you use NPC restaurants normally, while customizing each of your owned restaurants to your...

Fix for Mountain Excursions in Snowy Escape

One of our discord members noted that clicking 'Move On' while on a mountain excursion will do nothing, preventing you from advancing. I dug down and found a way to let you advance. Simple script mod, unzip and stick in mods folder. Will not impact anything outside excursions.

An Apology and a Plan - Dine Out Reloaded Chefs

The Problem

I want to describe a problem a number of players have reported with Dine Out Reloaded and playing as chef. When you have NPC chefs working, it's entirely possible they will take over your chef station or cause your Sim to stop being able to cook. There are 2 separate problems here. 

The first one is my fault. The game tags chef stations as 'friends' with the NPC chefs so they will work at that station and no one ...

Dine Out & Fixing It. Again.

As I continue to learn to mod Sims 4 with the luxury you have given me through your support, I grow as a programmer and pick up some new tricks. I'm coming back to Dine Out Reloaded to polish the experience. Players are still reporting issues receiving meals in Dine Out and that is unacceptable.

I've already discovered a few things that cause this. Mostly due to waiters resetting. I've implemented some fixes in the third version that wil...

Carl's Sim Spawner & Filter Tool - SSFT Features


If you've followed my work on Youtube, you know I have a bone to pick with Nancy Landgraab and Thorne Bailey. Sim Spawner & Filter Tool (SSFT) started as a project that would let players be selective about where Sims are allowed to spawn based on location. Once that feature existed, a lot of possibilities opened up and I pursued them th...

Remove Double Inventory Fix

Hi folks. Because it has the potential to interfere with other mods, and EA fixed the bug in the most recent patch, the Double Inventory Fix mod should be removed when you are patched to the new game version.

My Sim Filter and Spawner Tool is coming and will now offer the ability to import Sims from your tray AS OCCULTS if you so desire, so it will automatically turn them into occults if you would like to for example have an all spellcas...

NO LONGER NEEDED Sim Retirement Bug Fix

This is just a quick script to fix the inability for Sims to retire when Elder using the phone. At the moment they are stopped from retiring but this will make it possible.

Instructions: Unzip to Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods and make sure script mods are turned on in Game Options > Other.

If EA fixes this bug the fix is no longer needed, obviously.
