Which Sims 4 Versions Are Compatible with WickedWhims on Wicked Sims Mods?

The version listed on Wicked Sims Mods is the one to match against your game. The site's current WickedWhims entry is labeled 187.18 (23.05.2026) and is filed under The Sims 4 1.123–1.124, so that build is the compatibility target shown on the page. If your game is on a different patch level, treat the mod as unverified for your setup until you confirm otherwise.

What the site actually states

Wicked Sims Mods presents the mod as a single download page rather than a version matrix. From the page evidence, the relevant compatibility information is:

That is the whole compatibility claim: mod build 187.18 against game patches 1.123 and 1.124. The page does not publish a table of older mod builds mapped to older game patches, so you cannot use it to look up, say, which WickedWhims build suits patch 1.110.

How to check your own game version

You need your exact patch number before downloading, because "latest" on your launcher and "latest" on the site can drift apart.

1. Open The Sims 4 and go to the main menu.
2. Look at the version number printed in the bottom corner of the screen (it appears as a build string, e.g. 1.123.x.xxxx).
3. Compare the leading two segments — the 1.123 or 1.124 part — with the range on the Wicked Sims Mods page.
4. If they match, the listed WickedWhims build is the one intended for your game. If your number is higher or lower, the page gives you no confirmation either way.

On EA App or Origin, you can also check the installed version from the game's properties/update screen, but the in-game corner number is the one that corresponds to the patch level mods are built against.

What happens when versions don't match

A patch mismatch is the most common cause of a mod that installs but misbehaves. Typical outcomes:

• Game won't start or crashes on load — often a script mod built for an older patch.
• Mod loads but features are missing or broken — the game's internal code changed and the mod's hooks no longer line up.
• New interactions don't appear — the mod may be silently failing rather than erroring.
• Save corruption in severe cases — rare, but a reason to back up saves before testing a mismatched build.

Because WickedWhims is a script mod, it is more sensitive to patch changes than simple custom content. A hair or furniture item usually survives a patch; a script mod frequently does not.

Practical steps before you install

1. Note your exact game version from the main menu.
2. Confirm it falls inside 1.123–1.124 as shown on the page.
3. Back up your Saves and Mods folders.
4. Remove any previous WickedWhims files so you are not running two builds at once.
5. Install, launch, and check that the mod's menu appears in-game.
6. If the game fails to load, pull the mod out and re-check your patch number.

If your game is on a patch outside the listed range, the safe move is to wait for the page to list a build for your version, or to look for the mod's own release notes for a build matching your patch — the Wicked Sims Mods page alone won't tell you.

Quick answers

Does the page list more than one compatible version? No — it shows a single range, 1.123–1.124, for mod build 187.18.

Can I use an older WickedWhims build on a newer patch? The page gives no support for that; mismatches are the usual source of load failures.

Is the download free? The page labels it "free download" alongside a Patreon link, but the site does not state pricing terms, so treat access conditions as unconfirmed until you open the link.
