hey guys in this video I'm going over
how to update on your Mac after a Sims 4
update how to update your mods and which
are all supposed to do I have already a
pre-recorded version of Windows and what
to do when you're updating your Sims I
just wanted to give you guys a Mac
version as well I also thought that this
would be kind of nifty for you guys
because this message at the top appeared
for me and I'm pretty sure most Mac
users have got this or it says the EA
app for Windows has arrived okay so like
I have a Windows computer and I have a
Mac so it's letting us know that the
windows people have EA app
but it's also saying but origin for Mac
is still here for all your EA gaming
needs so it's basically letting you know
that even though when people who have
Windows
um can use Sims in the EA app it's also
letting you know origin is still here
for Mac users okay so before you just go
ahead and click update you want to
automatically make sure that you have
your settings set to have automatic
updates off so you just hover over your
username and you click on application
settings
once you do that you're going to see
application settings and default screen
you're going to go ahead and scroll all
the way to client updates like the third
box
you're going to make sure that all of
the automatic game updates automatically
update origin are off
um I even took participate in origin
technical previews just because I wanted
to but just make sure these two are off
okay once you do that you're good to go
you can go ahead and go back to home
and then before you click update hold up
make sure you go to finder so we're
going to go ahead head over there
and we're going to go to documents
if you see it like automatically off the
bat then you're going to click
Electronic Arts and then you're going to
click Sims 4.
once you're in Sims 4 you're going to
see your mods folder okay let's click
and see what's inside because this is my
MacBook so I don't have nearly as many
as I did on my windows which is pretty
good I'm pretty sure I have a lot of old
stuff on here though so what you're
going to do is you're going to grab that
mods folder and drag it and put it on
your desktop
once you do that you can basically just
exit
and then you're gonna click update on
the game
so now it's verifying game files and
it's going to update it says by
downloading Sims 4 digit results you can
do the font yes I do
all right so we're gonna go ahead and
wait for that update and then we're
gonna see what we gotta do next all
right guys so once it's updated it's
gonna say Sims 4 ready to play which is
awesome so you want to go ahead and load
up your game
first that's the first thing you want to
do so let's do that all right guys so
once you're in the game you might want
to click options go into your game
options and then select other on the
left make sure your custom content
script mods are both turned on it
doesn't happen all the time but I have
had times where these would uncheck
themselves during an update
um and my mods wouldn't work so just
make sure those are enabled so
yeah all right let's go in and see what
mods are broken okay so once you're in
the game it's going to show you what
items have been removed and I have 172
build mode items that have been removed
so that kind of lets you know how much
uh
mods and custom content I had in here
uh yeah so it just kind of pre-warning
don't freak out don't save the game it's
okay you just have to load up the game
once you updated it before you can add
your mods back
so uh I haven't played on my Mac in a
while so this is kind of interesting you
guys probably know Emily she she helps
you with things you probably already
knew how to do because you've been
playing Sims for a long time so I'm
gonna go ahead and say no thanks I don't
need your help Emily but I appreciate it
uh oh okay she's still there uh yeah
that's awesome okay all right so
wow I did have a whole weed farm I never
finished okay anyway
um so what we're gonna do uh is exit the
game I typically exit the game and don't
save
um that's just that's just my go-to
um because there's no point in Saving it
right but let me tell you just like I
told people who are on Windows
um you will always get like a
notification I don't know why Wicked
whims looks like that I honestly don't
um kind of weird but Wicked Williams
would normally tell you that you have an
outdated version so that's probably why
it looks all messed up right now
um and better exceptions I'm going to
tell you guys about this one make sure
that you have this mod installed better
exceptions will let you know what mods
are broken when you put them back into
the game and I'm going to show you guys
what I mean right now so let's go ahead
and exit the game you do not have to put
exit and save just put exit the game so
you're going to click finder
I'm going to go to documents you're
going to select your Electronic Arts I'm
going to select your Sims 4. once you do
that
you're going to put in your mods folder
now wait a minute I don't want to do
that yet because I got to delete the
mods folder the game created because
there was no mods folder in there
because I took it out so you can go
ahead and just delete that move it to
trash Oh that was loud okay I'm going to
go ahead and put the mods folder inside
and now you see the mods you see the
juice now I'm gonna go ahead and say
this right now just in case my game acts
wacky because this is a MacBook
um typically you're going to go into the
game right with the new mods folder
inside your Sims 4. okay well you know
the old mods folder but anyway
once you do that
um keep in mind that the game might load
slow because you're going to have broken
mods okay so I'm basically saying that
now just in case that's what I encounter
in this video recording all right so
um don't freak out if it takes forever
to load it's typically normal because
there's broken mods okay
um I have no doubt in my soul at all
that most of the mods I have in here are
broken but if you have better exceptions
installed you will be okay because that
mod is going to pop up in your Sims 4
and it's going to say hey
um it's been a patch day this is what
you need out of the patch okay
um to basically either delete or get
updated so I'm going to show you guys
how to do that now let's all cross our
fingers and hope for the best so going
back into the game now
so you just go back in and you push play
guys once you load back in it is going
to say looks like it's a patch day
didn't I tell you guys I was going to
say that okay so it's going to ask you
would you like to do so now meaning
would you like to go to a different
browser to see
what is broken and we're going to say
yes so let's go ahead and say yes
okay Wicked whims will do the same thing
it's going to say you're running an
outdated version of wicked whims do you
want to open a web browser to download
Wicked whims
and you're going to go ahead and click
yes because you're going to want to
re-update it okay
and then better exception is going to
take you to your thing and so is wicked
whims all right so
um sorry guys I was at Sims 4 Studio up
because of another mod but anyway long
story short the wicked whims will be
here typically better exceptions will
pop up as a web browser and tell you
what mods are tuning and need to be
fixed so let's go in and view view full
report there it is all right
so
let's pop this bad boy out for a second
so we all can focus
all right so basically it is letting me
know which broken mods I have
so it's gonna say that it says my MCC is
outdated so it requires an update I need
to go ahead and get that done and it's
saying Wicked whims is outdated as well
so I need to go ahead and get that done
all right broken mods I have a lot okay
like I said guys I I don't really play
on this MacBook as much as I do on my
windows so I have a lot more mods that
need to be updated so all the live
tragedy mods I need to go ahead and just
take out of my game
uh there's a lot of duplicates of it I
don't know why I need to take out Wicked
whims and MCC and re-update those so all
you would do guys is you would literally
go into your mods folder where is my
mods
you gotta go to finder
select documents and select Electronic
Arts select Sims 4
and then select mods
if we can find them
okay there they are
and then once you do that you will go
ahead and take out the mods it's telling
you to take out so I'm going to take out
all the extreme violence
move it to trash I'm gonna go ahead and
take out Wicked whims and MCC because
I'm an MC Command Center I'm going to
reinstall those and it's super easy guys
you just take out the old and put in the
new and all you have to do to do that is
you go to the the website of the mod
Creator like Wicked whims for example
you press enter
okay and then you click download
and right here it's going to say when it
was updated so it is January 21st as I'm
recording this and it was updated
January 19th so now I know this is a new
version so I'm going to click on
ititch.io and I'm going to reinstall it
like I did before and that's how you do
it guys you just delete it and you
reinstall it make sure you do it without
the Sims loaded my Sims game is loaded
right now so make sure that you do all
of this installing when the Sims is
already
um off when you have exited the game
okay all right so I hope that this helps
someone I hope that you are now able to
update mods like a pro
and um if this helped let me know let me
know what your struggles are too um in
