April 18, 2023, EA Patch: Mods Status
Added 2023-04-18 22:30:10 +0000 UTCHey, so my mods appear to still be working with the patch today.
That said, something I want to mention about the Lock Skills mod. As some of you are already aware, locking a skill currently causes the skill to be added to the Skills UI panel after a reload. This, I can understand, is a frustrating issue, as part of the appeal of the Lock Skills mod is to prevent the Skills UI from becoming cluttered. For the time being, my recommendation would be that if you are using the Lock Skills mod to block a Sim from "becoming too good at everything", stick to locking a few common skills that tend to get progress more randomly (for example, Charisma, if you don't want them to be effective at that); the idea being that your Skills panel won't become too cluttered, while still blocking some of the more common skills.
This issue appears to have an open bug report topic on AHQ and if you have experienced it, I recommend going and clicking "Me Too" on the issue: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Sims-get-random-skills/td-p/12399661
I'm not sure how much difference that makes in how quick they are to address things, but it's something.
Apart from that, I'm not aware of anything broken since a recent patch.
Take care and happy simming.
