Limitations[]

While Mod Constructor 4 is a good program for beginners, it comes with some limitations.

Tuning Errors[]

The program will sometimes output tuning with incorrect tags, causing portions of code to not work. Some examples of this are:

When making a statistic_change loot, Mod Constructor 4 will not output participants properly; therefore, if you set a participant, the loot will not work.
When making a Mixer, Mod Constructor 4 will not output the initial_wait_time properly.

Most of the tuning errors output by Mod Constructor 4 are minor and will not cause trouble in game. Some of them will cause your code to fail, such as the examples above, but once again users may not notice anything. Therefore, many mods in circulation made with Mod Constructor 4 run properly in game despite the errors. If at all possible, it is advised to review the code output by Mod Constructor 4 and make corrections if needed.

Mod Constructor 4 Errors[]

There are very specific cases in which the program will sometimes fail to do what the user interface shows it will do. Those are few and far between. Here are known cases:

When making a Social Interaction, the 'Allow Autonomous' setting does not work properly. Even if one adds the setting "disable autonomous", this simply removes the line, which does not stop Sims from performing the action autonomously.
Under SimInfo tests, the tests for NPC / Played Sim are output in reverse.
