When you're downloading mods for The Sims 4, you typically aren't thinking about how long they'll be functional and what would happen when they no longer work. While mods like UI Extension Cheats mod are updated regularly, some are not and begin to cause performance problems. Here are the best mods to fix that issue.
What are Mod Conflict Detectors in Sims 4?
When you have lots of mods going within your Sims 4 game, gameplay can be disrupted by developer updates or broken mods. Trying to find out which mod is the culprit can be tiresome to do on your own. Mod Conflict Detectors traditionally help you figure out which mod is the problem, but they can also give you a more convenient platform to test them on your own.

BetterExceptions
The BetterExceptions Mod from TwistedMexi is one of the most popular Sims 4 conflicting mod tools for a reason. It is run by TwistedMexi, a trusted modder in The Sims 4 community. The principal reason it is loved, though, is that this mod attempts to find problems while you're playing in-game and fix them there. While this may be a problem when you notice an issue that the mod doesn't automatically detect, it's a lot more convenient for catching most issues before they become really troublesome.
