Is it safe to install mods now? especially those from WickedWhims?

Previously I read that they had infected several mods from different pages, except patreon, I just wanted to make sure so I could play the best xxx game on steam XD

Where can see the post of James? :0

I'm so sorry, I gave you wrong link.
This is the thread about malware i meant : https://steamcommunity.com/app/1222670/discussions/0/4200238624229599955/?tscn=1709066419

However, it's very mandatory you should install modguard from patreon.

Thanks you very much bro

I get what you meant, but it was Janus and not James who made who made those threads. I noticed there was someone else called James (but without numbers at the end of it) on Steam besides me, but only once. As for Wicked Whims while I never used this mod i would not worry too much about it being hacked, because it is one of the most commonly used mods just like the MCCC mod. However, this link does mention "Wicked Whims" if I am not mistaken, but I cannot remember where.

So.. WW and the animations mods of lover4lab are secure? e.e https://wickedwhimsmod.com/download

I was going to edit my comment, but on page one it mentions "Feb 9th, 2024 - COMPROMISED mod found on LoversLab". Wicked Whims is not specifically mentioned anywhere as being infected. If you go to the official WickedWhims website for downloading/updating it should still be safe. (Edit) Lover's4Lab I think is a different mod than WickedWhims if I am not mistaken or at the very least an optional script mod.

my mistake was when i was searching that old thread, I only read [HEADS UP] but I didn't read the rest of the title.
your thread is hard to find, thus I had to use my browser history instead.

If anyone is using Wicked Whims right now (which as mentioned earlier I do not use this mod) and has not reported any viruses then it is probably safe to download. There is apparently more than one website that has something to do with Wicked Whims, but this website should be the safest. https://wickedwhimsmod.com/download

This is the website for lovers4lab mod, but if worried about it being hacked with a virus then do not download. Like I mentioned previously lovers4lab is probably different from Wicked Whims. (Edit) Surprisingly this website includes Wicked Whims, but like I said Whicked Whims is one of the few mods that is probably not infected with a virus just like the MCCC mod. While unclear to me if lover4lab is the same thing as loverslab.com my point remains there is a website for "loverslab". I tried to find "lovers4lab", but instead instead it directed me towards this website. https://www.loverslab.com/

True, my mistake, it's called loverlab xD, thanks for the info and help bro

While I have never downloaded Wicked Whims the other link (as mentioned earlier from my other comment with the wicked whim mod official website) should be safe for downloading. There probably are some people as well who still play this mod without any issues with viruses. Lovers Lab website does however include more than only just The Sims 4.

Answered on Janus's thread but .package files should be fine. Make sure to check your animations. They should not contain .script files.

TurboDriver's WW mod should be downloaded directly off TD's main WW website.

Mod Guard is advised.

Wickwhims has a spy mode on your game. It's how it knows you have an "Outdated version".

Thanks for that info, but this thread is old.

OH NOOO

Even though this discussion is old, I think a few points are still important to know:

I would suggest to check all mods on "Scarlet's Realm" (not supplying a link - just google it). There is a huge database with links to the mod creator + info whether this mod is still compatible.

Further on it might be a good idea to check in on Discord in "Sims after Dark" or "Deaderpool" (MCCC creator) to stay up2date. They also post warnings if malicious or hacked mods are found (just got a new warning a few hours ago).

1. EA have never frequented these forums, so in that sense any rules they bring over doesn't matter.
2. Without visible EA moderation, there is nothing to uphold said rules.
3. The game is marketed as T/12+ Rated but UGC content isn't and EA make it completely clear in the game they don't have any support for it. In that sense they can't put rules on something they don't have any support for.
4. As long and the comments are constructive aren't too rude, objectionable or vulgar but within the rules, it should pass without any moderation needed. You can discuss the subject, just keep the graphic details to a minimum or none at all. you can still explain mechanics or details about the mod and respond to requests for help from other users.
