Latest Announcements

→ PSA: Rash of “AI Slop” Community Tools announcement from TwistedMexi (discord). I’ve been wanting to put a warning like this out for a while as well, but TwistedMexi worded it a lot better (and nicer) than I would’ve (thanks TwistedMexi).

Warning: Some custom careers (not all) are causing LEs when using interactions that bring up the sim picker. If you’re experiencing this issue with any of your careers (after school activities included), please submit a broken mod report! More info for creators (thanks OneMoreKayaker)

Feb 16th update: Core Library (by Lot 51) was updated to include a hotfix for this issue. So, you can install Core Library alongside your custom careers to continue using them for now. It’s still recommended that creators update their careers for these changes to avoid potential issues.

  • These mods will still be listed as Broken (or N/A if the creator decides to rely on the hotfix) until their included career tunings are changed to 32 bit instances (or EA reverts/fixes the change).
  • After updating these careers, you’ll have to have your Sim rejoin and cheat their promotion by using MCCC or UI Cheats.

For C++ developers, Visual Studio 2015 delivered massive upgrades to comply with modern language standards, including robust support for C++11, C++14, and early features of C++17.

System Requirements and Technical Specifications

Today, Microsoft encourages all developers and organizations still using Visual Studio 2015 to upgrade to more modern and secure versions, such as Visual Studio 2022. The newer IDEs bring features like deep GitHub integration, AI-powered assistance with GitHub Copilot, and support for modern .NET platforms like .NET 8 and 9. However, many legacy enterprise applications, specialized internal tools, and embedded systems projects still rely on the toolchain provided by Visual Studio 2015. : after October 14, 2025, the IDE and all its related components will no longer receive any security updates or technical support, leaving applications built with it potentially vulnerable to newly discovered security flaws.
