I just read there's a malicious "mod" that's basically a virus, called "Forbidden Passions" for Sims 4.
Do NOT download or even open any link mentioning it, please. It seems to be something really bad, from the rumors I am hearing on the street.
Also, whenever possible, try to wait at least a day or two to update mods and check the sources / comments section to double check new content is safe.
I don't know why but there seems to be a wave of contaminated content popping up here and there (even legit items like what happened with Mod The Sims not long ago).
Remember one of the benefits of the Automatic is being able to run older versions of the game (without gallery). There's a massive folder where I have been collecting previous versions of the game for the past year or two, and it's available to Premium Access Lab subscribers upon request (just email me and I'll invite you, it's a separate folder).
