The Sims 4 is a great game that gives you total control over the life of your “Sim.” Create their look and personality, build and design their home, give them a job, make friends, lovers and enemies with the other Sims in their town, build their skills and give them hobbies, send them on vacations, and more! Even with so much to do, though, the game can still become boring eventually. It might start to feel like you’ve done everything you can do and it’s easy to stop playing the game out of boredom for a while.
However, sometimes it just takes some new and creative ideas to make the game fun again! Here’s a list of 15+ things to do when your Sims game is “boring”!
1. Play as One of the Townies in the Game
In each Sims 4 world there are townies: pre-made Sims created by the Sims 4 developers, who have a backstory and lives prior to you starting the game. Why not select one of the townies, like Bob Pancakes, or Bella Goth and play out their life in the game?
2. Download a Family from the Gallery and Play a Game as Them
This is similar in idea to playing as one of the pre-made townies in the game, except you can choose from a large variety (over ___ millions) of user-created Sims. Download a family you like the look of, plop them in the game, and start a new story with them!
3. Recreate Yourself and Your Friends in the Game
I’ve pretty much always started each fresh save game with a copy of my Simself, and then as she has children, I’ll switch focus to them and so-on. Creating yourself in the game is fun for obvious reasons; you can live out the life you’ve dreamed of: your dream job, ideal skills, and even dream spouse! It’s also fun to create your real-life friends, spouse and family, too!
Especially with McCommand Centre’s mod which allows for story-progression; you never know which of your real life friends might get married in the game!
4. Give Your Townies a Makeover
Let’s face it- the townies in the game are absolute fashion disasters. I make them over even when I’m not “bored” with my current gameplay; truthfully, it needs to be done every time new Sims are generated. You can go to Manage Worlds and click the Unplayed Households tab, then edit each household and change their hair, clothing, and even facial features.
Make sure you have the cheat “cas.fulleditmode” enabled to fully makeover your townie’s bodies/traits.
5. Focus on Reaching Level 10 of a Career You've Never Played
There are so many careers in the Sims 4 now and it’s easy to overlook some just to play your favourite time and time again. Why not try out a career you’ve never played before? You can even give your new Sims traits and aspirations that’ll help them achieve their goal.
Here’s The Ultimate 'Sims 4' Career Guide if you’re looking for more information about all the careers in the game!
6. Try Maxing out All Skills
You’ll probably want to turn aging off for this one (go to Options > Gameplay Options, and then select 'no' for the option 'Auto Age (Played Sims)), but why not make your Sims’ goal to max out all their skills? Or maybe have a few Sims in the household max out certain skills? There are over 35 skills in The Sims 4 (with all DLC in the game)- can your Sims reach Level 10 in them all?
I call this the daycare challenge: make a family with one adult (or two, if you just feel it’s impossible) and seven (or six) toddlers, plop them down in a house and try taking care of them all. I’ve done it before, and it’s pure madness, but a lot of fun!
8. Try Completing an In-Game Collection
There’s quite a few collectables in the game- everything from frogs, gems, bugs, figurines, and even playing cards (if you have the Kids Stuff pack installed). I’ve never finished a complete collection, but it can be a fun task to undertake!
There are some truly amazing creations in the gallery of TV show casts and lots that are recreated from famous TV/movie sets, so you can definitely recreate your favourite TV show or movie in The Sims 4 by downloading Sims and lots that fit the theme! Why not play a game as the characters from Stranger Things? Recreate Westeros and play as Daenerys and Jon! Get the Vampires game pack, and play as Damon Salvatore!
10. Download a House from the Gallery and Redecorate It
Once again, The Sims 4 Gallery can add so much free content to your game. Why not download a house from the gallery and redecorate it? Better yet, search for the hashtag #shell or #empty and find homes which already have no furniture in them to decorate to your liking.
11. Redecorate or Renovate One of the Houses Already in the Game
It’s also fun to renovate one of the houses already in the game. Give the Pancakes' house a pool. Go into the Landgraab home and update it with some of the swankier furniture from the Vintage Glamour or Get Famous packs!
12. Recreate Your Own Home
It’s always fun to try and recreate your own house in The Sims! See how faithful of a version you can come up with. You can also use The Sims 4 as a tool to design your place in real life; try laying out the floor plan of your home, and move or add new furniture and see if you can redecorate your home virtually before changing things up in real life!
I love building community lots for my Sims games. Sims need things to do outside of their home lots and that’s what community lots are: bars, lounges, restaurants, parks, etc. Build a new gym, library, museum, or whatever you think your town needs!
14. Buy an Expansion or Game Pack
If you don’t already own all the DLC released for The Sims 4, and you’re bored with the game as it is, it might be a good time to buy some DLC! Game Packs and Expansion Packs add the most change to your game; everything from new life states and creatures (Vampires, Pets) to new changes in every day gameplay (Seasons, Get Together).
There’s lots of official downloadable content to choose from, but if you’re looking to know which the best ones are, have a look at The Best (and Worst) 'Sims 4' Game Packs!
15. Try a Challenge
The Sims games have always had user-created challenges, and The Sims 4 is no exception. Why not try The Sims 4 History Challenge? Or the Black Widow Challenge? Or The Generations Challenge?
There are probably hundreds out there, but if you’re looking for the best of the best, check out this list of 14 Awesome and Fun Challenges to Play in the Sims 4!
16. Download Some Mods
Finally, why not use some modifications in your game and spice things up? Mods are user-created content which change (modify) your normal gameplay. You can add hundreds of new careers, new foods and skills, become a mermaid or witch and more, through the use of mods.
Here’s a list of the 10+ Must-Have Mods for 'The Sims 4' and a guide on how to How to Install Custom Content and Mods in 'The Sims 4' (PC & Mac)

For years, game developers have strived to make simulation-style games more and more detailed. Each new generation of games features yet another layer of realism that leads us gamers to wonder with increasing concern whether we ourselves are living in a simulation. Still, for reasons that largely have to do with budget, corporate release schedules, ESRB rating constrictions, and just general lapses in creativity, the game always seems to have a couple things missing, things that could easily be added in, and things that would vastly improve the quality of the game. In the gaming world, we call these things 'mods.'
Leave it to the gaming community to take a great game and make it even better. From legendary RPGs like Skyrim and Fallout to classics like The Sims, a true testament to the quality of a game is how passionately the user base tries to change it. Whether you're an experienced god of virtual beings or have only heard about floating green triangles in passing, these mods are sure to have you loading up your little microcosm, along with a few little tweaks. It's truly incredible the kind of mods that are available, and how creative the fans of this series can be.
You can be sure of this: the closer we get to achieving godlike powers in The Sims, the further we stray from it in our own reality. And with that said, let's go to our first mod..

24 A Different Kind Of Dancing
Because dance crazes from many years ago never truly fade away, it's no surprise they made their way into The Sims 4. Dancing is already part of the game, but the moves are, for lack of a less strange phrase, super basic.
Add a little flair to your dance parties with a variety of ever-improving dance fad mods.
You'll find them over at the creator's blog, along with some fan-made videos of the software in action. It's really only a matter a time until they have a mod for the floss, and surprisingly there's nothing we could find that allows you to whip.
23 Make Them Remember You
There's only so much acting prowess we can expect out of fake digital people. When fellow fake digital people perish in the game, the reactions of those supposedly closest to them don't quite react with the grief of a devastated relative, but more of a detachedly upset distant acquaintance.
Well, in case this has ever bothered you in the past, or if you're just generally a fan of over-dramatic reactions, then this is the mod for you. It'll make your character react much more intensely when someone finally meets their end, make the event seem much more realistic, albeit sad.

22 Anything Is A Hat If You're Brave Enough
Caps, beanies, and fedoras are all well and good. But only true pioneers of headwear would wear a full sofa as a hat, or a canvas painting they crafted on their head as a testament to progressive fashion. Not many would be brave enough to achieve this in their day to day lives (we dare you to try) but luckily there's a nifty mod in The Sims4 lets you try it in cyberspace. The Objects As Hats mod has an ambiguous name so let me explain how it works; essentially, it lets you take any object in the game and turn it into a hat.
21 Spacetime Is A Social Construct
Has your Sim ever been late for a wedding? Are they ever out past curfew? Do they spend too much time at home, unwilling to travel? Solve all these problems are more with the Teleportation Mod! Updated with game patches, this mod allows you to teleport any Sim to a given location instantly.
It all revolves around a statue. You can use this unique item to summon a Sim to that location, or send them somewhere else. It can often be used for convenience, getting a Sim from one place to another. But maybe one of them is being really annoying and you wish they would just go away. In that case you'll want to hit that 'just go away' button and they'll be zapped to a random location elsewhere!

20 No Need To Hit The Gym
It seems, for whatever reason, people have complained that the Sims they send to the gym have been getting fit a little too easily. More understandably, people complain that their more sedentary Sims have been putting on pounds almost too quickly. It probably comes down to an inaccurate fitness calibration in the original game, and as usual it was up to the players to fix it.
As such, they've come up with a mod that lets you customize how quickly or slowly your Sims get fit or fat. Now you can keep them from getting overweight too quickly or, if you're a gym rat in real life, make your Sims work as hard as you did to get as swole as you are now.
19 Woo-Hoo!
To make the game more family-friendly, certain aspects of the game were made more discreet. Any seasoned or older player knows exactly what's going on, but the younger demographic might not.
And appealing to the latter required some censorship in more ways than one.
But to make it a win-win situation, Turbodriver created a collaborative and detailed mod to flesh out some things that aren't fleshed out in the game. One look at their features and you'll be amazed how realistic the whole affair really is, both in terms of animation/visuals and simulation-related consequences.

18 Male Pregnancy
Nature has certain laws explained by science, but who made these laws? In real life we may never know, but in The Sims it was a guy named Will Wright, followed by hundreds of modders who wrote new laws and rewrote old ones. And when you give people that much power, you get things far removed from our natural order like male pregnancy.
To be fair, this mod was created to support same-gender couples having children by natural means in the game (i.e., two guys or two girls can have children each other). So I suppose as long as intentions are good and progressive, the modding community has nothing to worry about.
17 When One Relationship Just Isn't Enough
If you're tired of your wife getting angry at your other girlfriend, your husband from seeing you with that other guy all the time, of if you just want that sweet privilege of having a bunch of relationships, then this is the mod for you.
Basically, it allows your Sims to have multiple partners, and removes all those annoying jealousy reactions and consequences. There are also updates that further deepen the level of polygamy you can achieve. There are also some other strange features which we'll get into later, features that would probably make the average player too uncomfortable if they were in the base game.

16 When You Need Extra Emotional Support
There are times when a person just needs a hug. All of us at some point have experienced a hug that just made all out troubles melt away, but we've also felt those without any passion or empathy whatsoever. Tragically, hugs in The Sims far too often fall in the latter category.
Luckily, for those of us who get deeply attached to digital beings, we have this mod. It basically changes the hug animation and turns it into more of a loving embrace. It's a small adjustment, to be sure, but seeing it in action is all the emotional fulfillment you'll need.
15 When You Get Too Much Emotional Support
And further down the spectrum of human emotion, we have a mod that intensifies every mood a Sim can feel, and affects their actions accordingly. Many players have felt that the Sims acted a little too tame.
Well, this Emotional Overcharge mod makes it so moods are more quickly intensified and harder to lull back to normality.
A scorned wife might do something a little more dangerous than just yell at her husband. A guy in love will probably make a huge fool of himself. And a child throwing a tantrum will be completely unpredictable.

14 More Realistic Body Types
We can't help but notice that the physical appearance of Sims, while fairly customizable, remain largely the same in terms of anatomy. The full range of human appearance is quite vast and variable. From calves to hips to shoulders, we come in all shapes and sizes!
In the spirit of such diversity, the community has created a body slider mod that allows you to fully customize the size of the aforementioned body parts and many more. Want to make a Kardashian? Want your Sim to look just like you? Maybe want a Sim to look like he skips leg day? All of these and more are possible with the right slider modifications.
13 Ever Wanted To Be Taller?
Speaking of body image, most Sims of a certain age seem to have a standard height, with little more room for customization. You can remedy this with the Height Slider mod, allowing you to change the height of a Sim to match your preferences, or perhaps make them proportional with the massive legs you gave them with the previous mod.
With a few uses of this mod, you'll see why the creators of the game didn't customize height. It makes interactive animations out of sync, and using a mod that doesn't account for these discrepancies, you'll find yourself giving some pretty awkward hugs.
advertising
12 Ever Wanted A Bigger Head?
You've changed your body, you've changed your height. The only thing still out of place is your now-oddly-shaped head. Luckily, the modding community has thought of everything and came up with another slider mod for head size. Not only can you expand and shrink to match your body, you can blow up the size to comically large proportions, to the point where the sliders on your body don't even matter anymore. If you're brave enough as a pioneer of Picasso-esque 3D modelling, you can create an entire community of walking bobbleheads and Funko Pop toys!
11 Make Every Kid Look Like Damien
If you're not the type who believes all children are little angels, and would previous the nature of their devilish antics be manifested in some physical form, then this oddly specific mod is exactly what would suit your oddly specific tastes.
It basically gives the option to add horns to children, customizable by color. You might want them for the aforementioned reasons, or you might just like adding a little quirk to the otherwise vanilla atmosphere of the game. If you really dislike children, you can apply this mod, and use it in conjunction with the next one on our list as you roleplay a demon hunter.

10 Suspiciously Close To Skyrim
As we all know, the most annoying kids of any video game come from Skyrim. Those in the Sims can be a close second depending on their mood, but the creators saw fit to make it impossible for the Grim Reaper to take them until they become adults.
Whether it's hunger, disease, or some accident, they'll end up surviving, anything to avoid a child ghost.
Well if you like your plots dark and your endings bittersweet, you can download Dr. Chillgood's mod that makes children susceptible to any ailment.
9 Be Free, My Children
Most games have a variety of mod flavors, from aesthetic changes to new features to outlandish abilities. But all games with a reputation for being heavily modded have those few key mods that so vastly improve the game, you would never go back to the vanilla version. In The Sims, one such mod is the MC Command Center.
As we know, The Sims 4 microverse doesn't really move forward unless you make something happen. But with MC Command Center, the world keeps spinning even without your direct intervention. Sims will get jobs, get married, make friends, and generally interact based on certain traits all on their own.
8 Famous Sims
One thing notably missing from the base game is the concept of celebrity status. Wouldn't it be interesting to see how normal Sims react to those with celebrity status? Would they cheer and chase after a selfie? Would they faint from excitement? You can probably find out using a mod called Road To Fame which allows Sims to achieve celebrity status and all the interactions that come with it.
From paparazzi to fan levels, you'll live the life of a star.
You can even take it one step further and download premade models of real-life celebrities to play with in-game.
7 Never Forgotten
It's not really a glitch, but it is an inconvenient feature at times: if your lot gets overpopulated, the game will automatically delete Sims that haven't been used in a long time, essentially deleting them from the game without a trace. It can keep the game running smoothly but in practice it causes inconsistent relationships and loss of family history.
As a workaround, you can use the No Cull mod which prevents any automatic deletion of your Sims. This way, you keep all the relationships you think you might need, and can periodically cull on your own if it gets too overpopulated.

6 A Lannister Always..
We're not ones to judge, but sometimes a mod has no business being in a mainstream game. Then again, sometimes a virtual world is the only place to live out your strange, unhealthy dreams.
Normally, the game wouldn't allow romantic interactions between some people for obvious reasons. Now, trying to date someone without realizing the bond might be understandable, but downloading a mod that allows you to see other types of people is just wrong and I'm honestly not sure why I'm enabling it by telling you about it.
5 Control The Pets
It's wonderful that pets are a part of the game, but it's unfortunate that they cannot be directly controlled. Interactions are possible, but for the most part pets just wander around and follow their programming. Sometimes they'll do silly things like run away or put themselves needlessly in danger, and for such situations we have the Playable Pets Mod. Basically, it allows you to select pets as you would a playable character, and also adds some nifty interactions you can perform as a cat or dog.
advertising
4 Have More To Live For
When a new Sim is born/created, you have the option of choosing some life goal for them. After all, there needs to be some guiding thought in their provincial existence. As it turns out, even that isn't enough for the game to be interesting for some. And so they created the Random Traits & Aspirations mod. It doesn't add new aspirations to the game (as other story-related mods do), but it allows you to use new traits to create your own custom aspirations based on actions that can be taken in the game.
3 Maybe We're The Ones In A Simulation
With each new game, and each new mod, we get closer and closer to achieving hyper-realistic 3D models. And the better the game already looks, the more quality its mods are going to be. The Sims 4 is the latest in the franchise, and while it doesn't have some level of realism, the underlying animations and visuals are thematically cartoonish. Well for those who prefer to play the game not as an escape from reality but as an alternative, you have a wide variety of aesthetic mods that change the structure of Sims' models to give a more realistic appearance.
advertising
2 Go To School, Then Get To Work
Both the Go To School mod and the Active Career Aspirations mod require the Get To Work official expansion pack. The first allows you to send child Sims to school, where they must perform tasks like painting, playing an instrument, interacting with classmates, etc. These are then rated into a grade, and fits in perfectly with the Get To Work gameplay style. The second mod adds aspirations which weren't included in the expansion. It adds the Doctor, Detective, Scientist, and Frankenstein careers, each of which come with all new abilities and buffs. See, education and hard work can pay off!
1 Tropical Getaway
Something not too many people talk about is the world setting of The Sims games. You have your variety of town and city-related lots, customizable neighbors, and a few unique lore locations accessible through secret means. One of the more popular downloads is the Tropical Getaway Mod.
Much of this mod's appeal comes from beautiful visual detail and unique fun-in-the-sun style quests.
Some say it'll even make you feel like you're actually on the beach, and it's a great escape from the drudgery of normal life, both in the game and, y'know, real life.

Leave A Comment
The Sims 4 launched on September 2nd, and one of its most notable differences from The Sims 3 is the loss of the Create-A-Style function. With Create-A-Style, players could recolor almost any texture in the game to express their personal creativity with custom clothing and furnishings. The feature’s absence leaves The Sims 4 feeling somewhat limited with its smaller handful of color swatches for each item.
The good news is, like The Sims 3, The Sims 4 does include powerful modding support. Ambitious creators are already churning out new fashions, recolored hairstyles, gameplay mods, and more to enhance your game. Learn how to install custom content here, and follow the links below to the communities and artists who bring it to life!
Installing Mods and Content
To install custom content, you’ll need to find the Mods folder for your game. The default file path for this folder is:
My Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods
This is where you’ll be dropping your custom content. Note that many content creators compress their creations as ZIP or RAR files to make sharing easier, so get one of these free file extractorsThe Top 3 File Compression & Extraction SoftwaresThe Top 3 File Compression & Extraction SoftwaresNeed to compress a large file? There's no shortage of file compression and archiving apps for Windows. But which file zipper is best for you? Here are our three top picks.Read More to unpack your content before you place it in the folder. Once you’ve added any mods to The Sims 4, the game will show a mod browser by default when you launch it. This will let you know exactly what the game has recognized and implemented at launch, so you can know that your files are in the right place. When you dive into the world of custom content, be aware that you’ll be handling items that haven’t been vetted by the game’s creators. This means you’ll occasionally run across misidentified, offensive, or buggy material in your hunt. Take these recolors of the buzzed up hairstyle that I downloaded. They look fine on a static Sim’s face, but once the characters start making expressions, the hair separates from itself in a visual glitch. If I want corrected hairstyles, I’ll have to keep an eye on the creator’s blog to see if she publishes an update, and manually replace the files if she does. Managing custom content requires extra effort, but if you feel stifled by the game’s existing options, it can be worth the trouble. Where To Find Cool Stuff
So now that you know how to add custom content, where can you find it? Here are a few places you can start exploring.
TumblrMany creators share their work without ever posting to one of the popular custom content hubs. Their Tumblrs, or Simblrs as they’re fond of calling them, provide links to the file sharing sites from which you can nab their finished products. If you just want to browse the vast variety available to you, search for one of the following terms: Sims 4 Custom Content, S4CC, or Sims 4 Mods. Any of these will pull up a healthy list of options. That’s where I found NYAMI SIMS’ Cat Ears. They’re perfect for your more childish or goofy Sims.
While following individual creators can help you find cool things, you may also want to follow a few aggregators too. Take this Tumblr by Emily CC Finds. It’s almost like a Pinterest board, with lots of pictures of content spread across several columns to make your browsing easy and fun.
Mod The Sims
At time of writing, Mod The Sims already has over 120 different files hosted for The Sims 4. You’ll have to create a login to download things from the site, but once you do, the process is straightforward. Does the funny waddle Sims do when they really have to find a bathroom turn you off? Turn it off with this mod! Add some heavy metal t-shirts for your rock fan Sims, or crank up the manliness with body hair for your gentlemen.
The Sims Resource
The Sims Resource won’t ask you to make an account to get access to their huge pool of downloads, and what a pool it is! You’ve got everything from fun metallic eye shadows, to classy recolors of existing dresses. Ever wanted to dress up like the game’s Grim Reaper, complete with spooky hover effect? Consider it done.
The Simsperience
The Simsperience is a new blog that launched alongside The Sims 4’s Create-A-Sim demo earlier this year. It only showcases the custom content of one particular creator, but it’s already packed with gorgeous recolors of existing clothing items. This classy pack of 10 recolored scoop neck tees was the first item to catch my eye, and it piqued my interest in checking out more of the blog’s quality content.
Conclusion
This is the time when your official Sims 4 options will be most limited. There’s no microtransaction shop up yet, and no expansions to diversify your gameplay. Custom content creators are eager to give you more mods and fashions, many of which perform just as well as official content, without charging you a penny! Try some of them out, and make The Sims 4 play the way you like it.

If you know how to already, or you speed read our guide, then enjoy the rest of our list of the best Sims 4 mods!
MC Command Center
First up for this post, I had to hit you guys with this one. This is hands-down one of the best Sims 4 mods of all time. No, one of the greatest Sims mods of all time period.
The Master Controller mod isn’t a new one to this long-running series. Longtime modders are well aware of it, and it’s been tweaked and added into TS4 officially by Deaderpool. Download it here.
For those unaware of what goes down with this mod, it’s more apt to ask what DOESN’T it do. Here’s just some of the features that will definitely enhance your gameplay:
Sims 4 Lag Fix Mods
This one, this mod, and this one are another among the incredibly useful, must-have mods within the greater umbrella of Sims 4 mods. Both of them will straight up fix some lag issues that all players face, even those with awesome PCs.
These kinds of mods are a downright necessity if your PC is less than tip top, too. It fixes the lag that has sims sometimes just standing around for hours, fixes autonomy lags, fixes a whole lot.
When you’re cutting off full seconds to those weird pauses, then you’re bound to see some awesome results in the long run and have more playtime.
Make Your Sims Look Realistic
This amazing Sims mod comes from KawaiiStacie and it’s called Slice of Life.
What this mod does is add realism to your game, giving all of the character models physical changes depending on their mood and buffs. Like if your Sim is feeling embarrassed by talking to someone they find attractive, their cheeks will actually start blushing.
There are a few other appearance changes and new emotions that come with the Slice of Life mod, so if you’re looking for some realism from your Sims, give this one a try.
More Free Time
This Explore Mod for Sims 4 also comes from KawaiiStacie and what it does is allows your Sim to leave the lot through rabbit hole places and return with buffs, motive and skill increases, and relationship increases.
With this mod, you can even go shopping, get your nails done, and live out your best life.
You get to have more free time on a day to day basis, places won’t close to inclement weather, and you’ll also be able to check the opening/closing times for locations via the explore menu.
Rework the Health System
This mod comes from SimRealist and allows you to basically rework the health system of the game, making it easier for your Sim to receive medical assistance.
You can get your Sim checked up by just using a phone and giving your doctor a call, and if you always wanted your Sim to have a career in health sciences, well, now you can with this mod.
Have a Bank Account
This SNBank mod also comes from SimRealist and it creates an extensive financial system that allows your Sim to have banking accounts just like you do in real life.
The mod includes a checking a savings account, a transfer system, credit cards, loans, checkbooks, and even a budget system.
Thanks to all of these new functions, you can create storylines that involve paying money back to the back, or taking out a loan to purchase a home or something.
You can let your imagination run wild with the SNBank mod and add more realism to your Sims game.
Give Your Sims More Traits
If you ever played TS3, you may have felt a little ripped off upon creating a personality for your Sim in The Sims 4.
Both games used a Trait System to give each Sim their own unique character, but the newest installation of the game decreased the number of traits a Sim could have from 6 to 3 (not including the bonus trait TS4 ties to a Sim’s Aspiration.)
The Add More CAS Traits mod from Embyr311 removes that limitation and lets you add additional traits to any Sim.
You can keep this at a balanced number, like 6, or go absolutely crazy and make your Sim an explosion of personality by adding every possible trait. Finally, your Sims are able to be those smarter ones with, weirder stories.
New Traits!
To go along with the additional trait slots your Sim can now hold, you should search out the new traits that modders are coming up with for our families!
Want an absent-minded Sim that are dazed by default? Then hit up the Sims 4 Traits Absent-Minded mod! Or maybe the Sim you’re making is a pleasure seeker that gets bored automatically unless they’re doing fun things at all times?
Seems like a really hard sim to impress, but okay, just download the ! Arrogant people, rejoice! You’ll be able to get embarrassed after every failure with the Arrogant Trait mod!
Want to love things ironically? Be a hipster. Be hot with the attractive trait mod. Catch a bit of paranoia or be socially awkward.
Heck, there’s even this one, which adds 100 new traits all in one. Or maybe this one, if you’re looking for another bulk of traits to add on. That alone makes it definitely an awesome Sims 4 mod.
Be sure to keep checking, as new traits mods pop up every month. You can see our guide with more of the best Sims 4 traits mods over here, as well as how to actually change traits over here.
Carry Over Lifetime Skills
Isn’t it dumb how your toddler – despite having every skill possible maxed out – immediately becomes an idiot the second they age up? Well, no longer does it have to be the case!
Just like in real life, your sim can work hard to work up the skills as a toddler and have it all still matter when they become a kid with this.
The creator of the mod gives this example: “If you manage to max both the mental and the creativity skills as a child, you’ll enjoy a bonus boost to your Handiness skill as a teen!”
Basically, as you level up the skills of your toddler and child, they’ll then put points into the appropriate skill when they grow. And check out the picture above for an outline of how the skills are split up.
Being able to not lose all your progress with skills makes this an instant addition to our best Sims 4 mods post.
Super Speed Booooooost
There are plenty of moments in your Sim’s life that you just want to skip over. Unfortunately, sometimes the highest speed level doesn’t cut it.
Often, the game even glitches out while your Sim is sleeping or at work and it won’t enter the ultimate speed level.
That’s why this SupeSpeed mod is so vital; sometimes you just don’t want to watch your Sim snoring up a storm for three minutes. Beware, though, it can get a bit funky if you use it a lot.
Automate Chores Mods
In The Sims 4, all the different dirty aspects that plague your sims’ households (like puddles, trash, etc.) will give them a negative moodlet. While you could just tell them to clean it up, it’s a bit annoying they don’t just automate it themselves, right?
Well, this mod helps out with that! It makes it so that they’ll be prone to autonomously want to clean up their disgusting squalor.
Also, there’s this one that has to do with autonomy and chores. If there’s one infuriating aspect of The Sims, it’s that they’re so fine with living in squalor. When you instruct someone to pick up a dish, wouldn’t it make sense that they go either wash it or throw it away?
With this mod, they actually do that. They don’t just weirdly sit down with whatever object you told them to pick up in hopes that they clean up after themselves. Oh, and if you want them to pay bills, here’s one for that.
Additionally, if there’s a lot of gardening to do, consider getting this one for some auto green thumb work! When it comes to homework, if you want your sims to get it done all by themselves, there’s this mod.
If your sims are stressed out, you can also make them automatically go for a jog to clear their minds with this. Also, whenever someone is “focused” it’s a prime time to upgrade some objects! Use this mod to make them do that automatically.
And finally, if you want your sims to start fixing broken items around the house all by themselves, download this.
Multiple Jobs, One Sim
This is really another example of a mod that should be in the game right from the beginning. With it, your sims will be able to have multiple jobs in different careers.
This is perfect for roleplaying a struggling family that’s just trying to make ends meet with multiple jobs, or, you know, for any sim family that wants to make mega money at the cost of their needs being actually met.
It’s nice to know the retirement checks will be nice and big, too, right?
Any mod that makes us go, “wow why isn’t that already in the game?” is worthy of being in any of our posts about the best Sims 4 mods.
Lose and Gain Character Faster
If you got the well-reviewed Parenthood pack (which you should have), then your sim toddlers, children, and teens can all gain “character” in different ways.
They can also lose it and become despicable members of society. But if you have it, you also know that this takes ages. Well, it’s a different story with this mod! This makes it so your sims will gain or lose in any of the 5 character traits faster than before.
Install it if you found you’ve had a hard time with that part of the pack.
Rabbit Hole Events Fix
Here’s another mod that flat out fixes a big issue within the game. You might have noticed it yourself. Whenever your sim gets invited somewhere like the Circus or an opera and you say, “Yes.”it usually doesn’t matter whatsoever. Your sim won’t go anywhere!
Well, this mod fixes that so that any and all of those special events that you’re invited to will actually trigger your sim to leave at the hour that you’re given, later on that day. A fix to the base game? Absolutely one of the best Sims 4 mods.
They’ll have a good time and come back with more experiences after the event ends. You won’t be able to control them there, but it definitely fixes this issue.
Unlock All Locked Items
An interesting new mechanic in The Sims 4 that actually encourages playing through the game multiple times is the locking of certain items until you’ve reached a level of specific career tracks.
The downside to this is how long it’ll actually take you to unlock all of them, and how cool most actually are. You can either play through the game and work your way up, or you can simply install the Sims 4 BuildBuyMode Unlocker mod.
You’ll be able to buy every item and even be eligible for the pre-made rooms that are swanky and totally above your creativity level.
Work From Home For More Jobs
For those of you that got City Living, you’ll know there are certain careers that allow you to “work from home.” This can be really awesome on some days, because it takes way less time and you’ll be in total control of your sim from home/wherever they go.
It’s awesome, just like it is to do it in real life. But why should the activists, critics, and social media stars get all the fun? Well, there are a number of modders that are making mods to fit other careers, too!
Realistic Sims 4 Mod: Pop Goes Your Power Box
Here’s a fun one that came with the advent of the Seasons pack. This mod makes it so that lightning can straight up cause a power outage in your sims’ home! Bust out the board games and lanterns, ’cause this storm’s a bit rocky!
Think about all the roleplaying fun you can have.
This one’s exceptionally interesting to me, as a person that lives in a hurricane haven. It’s completely random and even moods get affected by it when it happens!
Serial Killer Mod
There are often these very gritty mods added into TS4 that let you live out some pretty sick fantasies or roleplay some of your favorite thriller villains’ lives.
In this case, there’s the serial killer mod which, as you can imagine, lets your sims become murderers.
Anything that adds more roleplaying to the game is A-O-K in our books!
Best Sims 4 Vampires Mods
For those of you with the Vampires pack, you’ll be pleased to know that there’s a lot of improvements that you would be able to download to better the gameplay.
Really, it depends on your preferences, but here are some of the greatest Sims 4 mods for Vampires that maybe you’ll like to get your hands on, and you can check out more in our guide over here.
Look at All the People
Ever feel like maybe all of the sim lots are kind of empty? Like it’s really easy to get through everybody new in one evening? Well, then this mod that adds far more sims to every lot using fancy mathematics is perfect for your social self.
Now the world can feel a lot more vast within your tiny sim town. Look, anything that makes the world more living and breathing is an A plus in our books.
Holidays Revamped
Seasons was an exceptional pack for the series for plenty of reasons. A big one being that you can celebrate holidays now! Big deal, y’all. And quickly the modders came out in droves to revamp it all in some way.
If you don’t want to spend time making even more holidays, they have you covered. There’s a variety of mods for this topic, but here are some:
Best Sims 4 Pets ModsControl Your Pets
Having pets to play with is awesome in TS4, but with this mod, you can actually control your pets, turning them into playable characters.
The dogs and cats will both have their own needs and behaviors to choose from. If you’re tired of playing as a boring ‘ol human, why not try living the life of a pet?
You can download this mod right here if you’re interested.
Train Your Pets to Be Brave
With LittleMsSam’s anti-fear training mod, you can teach your pets to be more confident and brave instead of being scared of everything.
Whenever your pet gets scared of anything, you will be able to calm them down. The more you do this, the more levels your pet will reach, allowing all of their fears to slowly become disabled.
They will no longer be scared of the microwave going off so you can cook your popcorn in peace for once in your life.
Anti-Heat Pill
LittleMsSam has yet another cool mod for TS4 that helps remove Heat from your pets. By taking this pill that you can craft or purchase in a vending machine, the effects will block the Heat symptoms for your pet for 21 days.
This means that they will no longer be able to have any pet babies with other animals. And if your pet is already in heat, taking this pill will remove the symptoms immediately.
It can be stressful to take care of a ton of dogs and cats, but now you don’t need to worry about that stuff.
Make Other Sims Walk Your Dog
Having a dog is one of lifes greatest treasures; always having a loyal friend by your side is a feeling that’s unlike anything else, but the fact that we have to walk our dogs day in and day out is just the worst.
Thankfully with this mod, you can ask any Sim on your lot to walk your dog for you, allowing you to chill out and relax while somebody else is doing your job.
And get this –you can even ask your own children to walk the dogs as well!
Hire Dogwalkers
The past mod we just showed you guys allowed you to make other Sims on your property walk your dog, but this one lets you hire an outside dog walker and dog jogger to take care of your pet when you’re extremely busy with life.
If you have the past mod installed, you can then ask them to give your dog a bath after they’ve finished the walk/jog.
You can download this mod right here.
Walk Your Cats
Don’t let people’s judgments decide your life for you. Listen, if you want to put a leash on your cat and take them outside, then you should be allowed to without being judged.
If people can take their dogs outside, then why can’t you take your cat for a little walk in the sun? Thanks to this mod, you can show off your cute kitty and take them out for a walk.
Walking Dog to Fill Needs
LittleMsSam has yet another dog mod for us that lets you fill your pet’s needs by simply walking them around.
Your Dogs affection, play, bowel, and bladder needs will all be met if you take them on a walk. No longer will you have to do anything else for your pet besides walking them –we wish it was this easy in real life.
Walk More Pets
It can be super annoying to have to take your pets on a walk separately from one another, especially if you have 3 pets or more. But thanks to this mod from LittleMsSam, there is a method to take care of these tasks all at once.
With this mod, you will now be able to take more than one pet out for a walk at the same time, leaving you extra time in your day to work on other things.
People can sometimes walk three dogs at once in real life, so this mod is one to download if you wanna try it out for yourself.
Walk the Dog With Kids
Another way to build up the responsibility level for kids and teenagers in TS4 is to let them go out on walks. This isn’t a feature available in the main game, but with this mod, it’s now possible.
Since the animation created here for this mod isn’t meant for children, some parts of the walk might be buggy and the kids might look stretched out for a moment but the function still works fine.
Thank you to LittleMsSam for this one as well.
Quick Walks
Depending on the layout of your neighborhood, this mod will give you the option of Quick Walk before heading out with your dog, and it will give you the fastest route possible.
This mod is great if you find yourself spending way too long walking your pet and can give you extra time to go out and do something else entirely.
You can download this mod right here if you would like to check it out.
Pets Can Find Stuff on Any Floor
Originally, your pets in TS4 can’t detect bowls of food or bowl of water in your house if the stuff happens to be on a separate floor.
By using this mod, your pet will be able to fulfill their needs, despite the location of pet bowls and litter boxes.
Instead of them starving or cause themselves to pee on the floor inside of the house, this should make things a bit easier for your pet and for the owners.
You can check this one out right here if you’re interested enough.
Pet-Themed Holidays
Who doesn’t want to spend an entire day celebrating their pet? Thank to this mod, you can check out a ton of custom holiday traditions that lets you pamper your pet on their special day.
You can play with your pet using a red light laser, you can cook up a special meal for your pet, and you can also teach them tricks to show them some love.
Pet birthdays are something that should never, ever be ignored –not even in TS4.
Make Your Pets Pregnant
This mod allows you to place a number on the percentage value of your pets chance of becoming pregnant. You can choose between 100, 75, and 50 percent and depending on what you go with, you might have some new babies in your life.
It can take some time for your dog or cat to get pregnant in TS4, but thanks this mod, you have full power over the life of your animals. It sounds terrible, but hey, sometimes you just want a dozen kitties running around.
No Stray Animals
We all love having pets in our households; animals by your side is the best feeling ever but sometimes there’s a limit on pets.
This mod completely eliminates the random generation of stray cat and dog households. Of course, we feel bad for the stray pups and stuff, but there’s just no room for every stray animal.
Make sure to check this mod out if you want to get rid of strays from coming into your life.
Increase the Sale Price of Dogs
Being a dog breeder can net you some profit if you decide to sell your pets at a good price, but with this mod, you can now increase the sale price of your pets, with the possibility of making upwards to $2200.
You deserve to make more money for your hard work and this is one of the best ways to do it.
If you would like to make some extra cash for your breeds, then make you check this mod out right here.
Train Your Puppies
In TS4, you can’t train your puppies or teach them any commands until they get a little bit bigger, but if you ever wanted to teach them commands while they’re still puppies, this mod is perfect for you.
The only four commands that are available to teach your puppy right now in the mod are as follows: Sit, Lie Down, Speak, and Heel.
Go and download this mod right here so you can train your puppies just as you do in real life.

This is one of the most important mods that you can have if you’re a fan of drama, controversy, and throwing shade. The Life’s Drama mod adds 11 dramatic situations that could happen to your sim anytime, adding some much-needed drama in your life.

Get up to 20 Roommates
This mod makes it so that you can have up to 20 roommates in your house but you won’t have to take care of them at all, leaving them to be free of your control.
They’ll have free roam, meaning that they’ll be able to go to work and leave the house like normal, but you can also collect rent from them if you so choose.
Just be careful not to take too much money from them, as your roomies will get angry if you do them wrong.
You can download this one right here.

You can sleep in class, use your cellphone, and flirt with classmates –essentially all things that kids normally do in school nowadays.
Automatic Sunburns
It can take some time to get the perfect tan for your Sims body, but with this mod, there is now a way to get automatic tans and also sunburns.
With this mod installed, your character will automatically get suntanned when they’re exposed to sunlight. But, just like real life, you may be in trouble if you spend too much time in the sun.
You can download this one right here if you want to get the perfect summer look.
Turn Off AutonomyNo Autonomous Run Inside

Let Your Toddler Be
It seems like your Sim might be obsessed with checking on their little babies. Kids are important and they should be watched with a keen eye, but if you want your Sim to stop checking in on them all of the time, you can download this mod.
By installing it, you can focus on other things besides your kid and leave them be –that’s how they’ll learn how to take care of themselves if you ask me.
Stop Playing in the Rain

If you want to put an end to dripping noses and wet clothes, then be sure to download this mod right here. The mod will keep your Sim dry and safe from catching a cold.

Food = Calories
This mod from KawaiiStacey allows you to choose the fat rate increase in your game, making it easier for your Sims to gain weight.
The larger the size you choose, the faster you will gain weight. If you find yourself wanting to town down, you just have to begin exercising to lost weight.

You can download this pack right here and show off your love for Henry Puffer.
Bills, Bills, Bills
Do you like a bit of a challenge with your game? Well, this mod allows your sim family to feel the crippling weight of expensive bills every week. The modder promises it’ll provide a challenge while not being too ridiculous.
It’s a realistic alternative to the base game’s often times easy to pay bills. This is often a point of contention between fans since the game can become quite easy once you have a well-paying job position.
I love a good challenge in TS4, and because of that, this is a pretty good Sims 4 mod.
Restaurant Business Overhaul
The Sims 4 Dine Out brought players a great addition of being able to head out to eat and run their own diner/restaurant/whatever business. It added a lot of roleplay, but let’s face it, the business aspect’s a bit wonky.
Luckily, this modder thought so as well and created this. Here’s basically all the changes it brings to the table. The dinner table, that is.
Oh, and if you’ve been wanting to make a family-owned restaurant business, you’re going to want to check this out. It lets you hire family members!
Also, if you want to be able to hire teens, this one’s for you!
All of these change things up so much.
Automate Romance Mods
Okay, so there’s a lot of different automation that you could add with mods, but I particularly like these since they really up the ante in the storytelling. Cheating can become more frequent, and pregnancies, too.
Especially when you add these with the master controller mod I already mentioned in the first page. Anyway, here are a couple of romantic autonomies for you:
Best Sims 4 CAS ModsKeep Your Sim From Moving Around in CAS
The ability to create truly unique Sims by pulling and pushing directly on their bodies is by far one of the coolest new features The Sims 4 brings to the table.
Unfortunately, that can be a little difficult if your Sim keeps dancing around while you’re trying to give them a tummy tuck. The Stand Still in CaS mod from Shimrod101 sedates your Sim and removes all those animations that play while you’re adjusting their body or face.
Sims 4 Female Body Mods
This mod works for all ages and genders and disables the usual animations that play when you adjust the sliders for muscle or weight, randomize your Sim’s appearance, or change outfits using the Styled Looks function.
Buy Ponds and Hidden Lot Entrances
Why didn’t EA allow this before? Angler master sim find it really annoying to have to leave the comfort of their homes just to reach a nearby pond to fish. And what if it’s not within the same general area?
Do you really want to discover a loading screen every single time you’re going to work up your fishing skill?
With the Buyable Ponds mod, you can put a nice pond in your backyard, probably next to the chest table and underneath a great big tree. Just giving you ideas. Additionally, get the Buyable Hidden Lot Entrances mod for easy access. Pretty soon, your Sim will never leave their house.
Grocery Store!
Roleplaying is everything in The Sims 4, and any mods that add that ability can be appreciated by any fan. When grocery stores didn’t make their return from TS3, a lot of fans were disappointed.
However, fret not… there’s always this mod. With it, you’re able to add a grocery booth (or table, if you will), allowing you to effectively make a whole grocery store if you wanted to. Maybe even a flea market! The choice is yours, as always.
Best Sims 4 Fix ModsNo Sitting Fix
Look, when there are fixes to be had, these are among the most important. This one fixes a silly little glitch that tends to happen a lot when sims are playing on their console.
They won’t – for the life of them – sit down. It’s a tiny fix but it really helps in not breaking players out of the roleplaying aspect. Everyone can couch co-op now!
New Facial, Body Hair, Hairstyles, and More
Like your sims lumbersexual? There are mods to back up however you want them to look. Make your sims’ beards longer using this mod. Want imperfect teeth? Here you go.
But, really, there’s of course plenty of other mods you could get for your sims to be looking fly. I recommend checking out this site for all your Sims 4 custom content needs.
They have Sims 4 hairstyles, body hair, eyebrows, makeup, skin, teeth, facial hair, anything you can think of. If you didn’t know you could make your sims looks realistic using these, now you do.
You can also check out our guides for those best Sims 4 hair mods here and here for Maxis Match mods and custom content, specifically.
More Fridge Meals
Options, options, options, that’s what players want. The small amount of quick meals you can get from the fridge are enough to get anyone sick of having lunch, right? Tired of all that cereal?
Or all those microwave meals? Well, download and install this mod, and you’ll add a whopping amount of extra things to eat!
They’re all food that was already in the game, anyway, but somehow wasn’t under the “Quick Meals” option.
Best Sims 4 Pregnancy ModsAnd You Get a Baby! And You!
Gone are the days when you needed a male and female sim to “Try for Baby” in order to get pregnant. Thanks to the Babies for Everyone mod, your young adult and older Sims can have a baby with anyone they love.
Or hate, even. Go nuts.
This is something the fans really wanted for awhile.
Emotions All Over the Place
If you think the base game’s emotions are too easy to get over or get past, then this mod’s for you. With it, it will be way harder to get back in the appropriate frame of mind once something has put your sim in a different mood. That’s really where the “inertia” part comes in. Here, the creator does a good job explaining it:
“Meaningful Stories is a mod pack that redesigns the mood and emotions system of The Sims 4. This collection of changes big and small aims to allow your sims to feel more human, to make the events in their lives feel more meaningful, and to turn managing their lives into a more interesting challenge.”
After your sim enters another mood, the inertia moodlet from the previous mood will be removed.
There are three levels of inertia moodlet:
The +1 level has no visible duration but will rarely last long at all because of the way the game handles mood changes. Once a +1 inertia moodlet is the only thing left keeping a sim in a mood, it will be overcome by any more recent +1 moodlet for any other emotion.”
Enable Menus For Working Sims
Tons of standard Sims features were left out of The Sims 4. This mod by Fogity fixes quite arguably the worst feature to be to be removed from this release of The Sims.
Previously, whenever a Sim disappeared from a lot to go to work you would be unable to access the menus containing their desires, skills, relationships, and mood info.
The Menu Enabler mod simply keeps these menus available whenever a Sim leaves the active lot for work or fun.
Can Someone Tell This Baby to Chill Out?
Love raising a family in The Sims? Well, good for your sims for maturing and deciding to take such a grand step forward in their lives. Hold on, though, are you sure you want to deal with the vanilla Sims baby?
Always whining, wanting food, love, and general attention so often in a day? That’s right, you’re really just putting up with it to get a kid Sim. It’s okay to admit that.
You should download the Easygoing Baby mod to calm it down a bit and keep its mood up until it can age. Maybe even turn on accelerated aging for babies, too.
Faster Showers & Baths
Okay, I gave it away for this one in the heading right there. This does literally what that means, but isn’t it so useful? With this Sims 4 mod, you’ll cut the time it takes to shower or take a bath by a lot.
No more rushing to work in the mornings! Simply had to include something that helps players not waste time.
Working Out RevampSims 4 Better Body Loverslab
Got some athletic people you’re playing as? Always working out to have the most Adonis looking possible? Well, if you’re finding it super easy to get washboard abs with the peak of athletic prowess that they can attain, this mod is for you!
When you get it, the metabolism in the game – so to speak – gets a tune up. It will be harder for you to reach peak physique in the game. This really makes it more of an accomplishment, you know?
Don’t want to go through all the trouble of working your sim out, though? Want to get your slim sim to fill in their clothes a bit more? This Sims 4 mod is simple in that it just makes it possible to set the weight levels of your characters using the cheat console commands.
Get Yourself a Car
Why cars weren’t available from day one for TS4 is anyone’s guess. Why was anything taken out, you know? Let’s always be grateful for the modding community’s generosity and ability to right EA’s wrongs.
You know you want cars for your sim family. Get this mod. It allows you to get back those vehicles you know and love from past games before EA inevitably forces you to buy them in an expansion!
You could also download this Sims 4 mod to get the cars already available around the world and place them for decoration. Won’t be ownable like the above one, though!
For now, we simmers need to rely on the modders to fill in the gaps for EA. Bless the best of the best when it comes to Sims 4 mods.
Besties Everywhere
If you, like Mindy Kaling in The Mindy Project, believe that best friendship is a tier, then this mod is perfect for you.
It allows you to have more than just one like the game currently limits you. It also reduces the cooldown so you’re able to say it again faster.
Best Sims 4 Slider ModsCrazy Slider Mods
Admit it. The first thing you did while making that very first sim in TS4 was see how crazy you could make your characters look using the new Create-A-Sim interface.
This set of mods removes a lot of the restrictions imposed on body modification to keep the game boring and realistic. But really, who needs realism when you can give your families’ heads twice the size of their bodies? Not me.
The Expanded Head Size Range, Glasses Slider, and, uh, Breast Augmentation mods from EVOL_EVOLVED literally expand what you’re able to do within the confines of Create-A-Sim.
You can check out more slider Sims 4 mods over here.
Improved Weather Variety
While Seasons was an awesome pack, it isn’t without its flaws. And one modder took it upon themselves to correct one they noticed: the worlds all have largely the same weather patterns despite being different, well, worlds!
This mod is a must for anyone looking for weather variety in their TS4 game. Here are the changes it does:
All Beds Give Same Energy
Again, I’m giving it away in the headline, but that’s really all there is to it. If you constantly find yourself settling for a bed that you don’t necessarily like the look of but it just plain ol’ has a better Energy rating, you need this mod.
It makes it so that you can pick any bed and still reap the benefits of having a good night’s rest. After all, the sheets should have nothing to do with the energy! It’s all about that mattress, baby.
Best Sims 4 ModsDon’t Worry, Be Happy~
Following the emotional inertia mod that we already talked about, here’s something that makes happiness less attainable.
It leads to a more “true happiness” effect, where Sims won’t be happy for any little thing that comes across their day.
Something special needs to happen for them to truly become happy, otherwise, the default will be the okay version of “Fine.”
Note, this is also included in the Meaningful Stories mod that was mentioned before already.
You Are a Cinema, I Could Watch You Forever
Tired of only having, like, three spots to have fun with your little simmers? With the Cinema Mod, your characters can enjoy the film industry’s finest. Grab your family, head on over to the lot, and enjoy some classic movies with popcorn.
Perfect for the cinephile sim in your life. This is even better when coupled with the movie night pack that adds bigger screens, popcorn, and more!
Oh, and while you’re at it, you might want to check out the “Be Quiet and Keep Watching the Movie Please” mod.
Buy More Venues
LittleMsSam really brings it with all the mods, and here’s another that helps out the gameplay a lot if you’re a tycoon type of player. You’re going to need Get to Work, by the way!
With this mod, you’ll have an array of new venues to buy and reap revenue from. Here’s a list of all that you can buy, by the way.
Voidcritters For All
Who says that you can only be a kid and enjoy Voidcritters? Oh, The Sims 4 does. Well, I call BS there! For those of us that grew up with a childhood phenomenon, odds are that years later you still very much so care for that same cartoon or what have you.
These mods understands that, and make it possible to trade as well as play Voidcritters at any age! Look… as a big fan of Pokemon, I’d of course think of this as one of the best Sims 4 mods.
For the Old-School Sim in Your Life
Have a Sim that’s technologically inept? Maybe they’re just really old-school and don’t want to get near a computer? Well, here’s something that should have been in the game a very long time ago: a notebook!
With the Notebook V2 mod, you will be able to do all the writing related things they could do on the computer, except from the comfort of any place within the house. Also, with a strange device called a pen.
Social Media For Teens
Nowadays, 18 year olds are getting filthy rich off of being Instagram or YouTube stars, let’s face it. It’s time for our teens to start reaping some rewards before they even age up, too!
This mod makes it so that teens can join the Social Media career track that City Living brought to the table.
More NPC Names
If you’re looking for more variety in your townies’ names, then look no further. This mod is here to do exactly that. It even adds a lot of ethnic names to create a lot of diversity among your worlds and towns.
Yadda, Yadda, Yadda
If your sim needs to be social but you’re not really feeling the whole conversation aspect of The Sims 4, you can download this mod to increase the social mood faster. Gone are the days when you’d have to actually pretend to care how that sim friend’s day went.
You had ice cream? That’s nice, John. My sim has no time for your BS, John. She’s got a career to advance in.
Super Speed Through Festivals & Neighbors
This one’s specific for those of us that have City Living, but it’s very useful if you do have it. Whenever there’s a festival or neighbors are being annoying, the super speed you might have been doing gets slowed down again.
Really annoying whenever this happens needlessly, right? So download this and you’ll rid yourself of that annoyance!
Early Retirement
Those of us that play some really successful sims that make it to the top of their careers really fast will be pleased to find out that there’s a mod that allows you to retire earlier than just elder.
Hey, combine this with the multiple jobs mod that we talked about earlier and it’s sure to be a confetti stream right on your simoleon wallet! It allows you to retire as young as the Adult life state.
Invisible Fences
Now, you’re probably wondering why the heck I’m including a mod that adds invisible fences into the game. Well, it’s simple, really.
If you’re tired of your sims walking all over the grass or taking weird routes to get to where they’re going, you simply need to use these and you’ll route them exactly through the paths or sidewalks that you want them to go through.
Best Sims 4 Pet ModsControl Pets
Depending on whether you preferred The Sims 2’s or The Sims 3’s handling of pets, you’re either a fan or nah of TS4’s. Well, if you’re on the “nah” bandwagon, you’ll be pleased to know that this mod exists.
If you missed being able to control your pets, you can do so now! Although it’s worth mentioning that it’s very limited in what you’ll be able to do, but hey it’s there for ya.
Bring TS2 to TS4
There are a lot of mods available to The Sims 2 fans that want to bring over the most iconic furniture pieces to The Sims 4. Miss the Tiki Outdoor Set and its add-ons? Want to get retro with the 60s Living Room Set? Or maybe you want to feel fabulous with the Glamorous Living Set?
Heck, if you’re even missing out on the radio stations, there’s a mod for that, too. Keep your eyes peeled as they’re always adding more and more favorites for you TS2 fans. Just letting you know this is definitely a thing that happens a lot each month!
Teens Can Start Practicing Parenting
If you want to set up a teen mom/dad scenario or just plain ol’ want your older sibling of a sim to get their stuff together and take care of their younger sibling a bit, then this mod is for you.
When you download and install it, your teen sims will be able to raise their Parenting skill. This is great for getting a headstart on that skill, as well as for getting that roleplaying in.
SIM FRIENDS FOREVER!
The Sims has a way of making friendships into little, fragile butterflies. If you’re not calling your BFF every single night to tell them all about your day, that definitely means you don’t care about them at all in The Sims. You’re absolutely heartless.
If you’re a detached loner, have no fear, the No Relationship Decay mod is here to help! You can actually go two weeks with no interactions now and still consider a certain Sim your best friend. This mod works a lot like the Long Distance Friend lifetime award in The Sims 3.
Stop Sleeping Already!
If you’re tired of your sims being bears in the winter and hibernating despite their Energy need being completely maxed out, then this is the mod for you.
It cuts out a huge annoyance where literal hours after the fact your sim might actually get up by themselves without you telling them to.
More Aspirations
Modders are always on the scene, trying to increase as much of the things you’re able to do with The Sims 4 as possible. One such aspect that’s always modded and tweaked are the game’s aspirations.
If you’re looking for more of them, there’s always a steady supply. Here are some of the ones I found, for example.
Do You Really Want to Live Forever?
Everyone has that one sim that’s immortal and everlasting. Maybe they’re just leveling up all their skills. Maybe they’re used for procreating so much that the entire sim population in one town ceases to exist. Look, we’re not here to judge you and your choices.
Whatever the reason, if you find that you actually want to stop the aging and/or dying process of your Sim, but don’t want to turn it off in the settings altogether, you can buy it as a trait using this Sims 4 mod.
Less School Time
Whenever your child and teen sim goes off, precious hours of their days are lost. And with those ages being so short as is already in the grand scheme of a sim’s life, you might be looking for a way to lessen that load without halting their learning altogether.
Well, have no fear! You can download and install this mod to cut the amount of time children and teens will be in school by giving them an earlier exit.
Please. Stop. Ringing. The Doorbell.
You don’t even have to be a loner sim to think that the amount of times your Sim’s clingy friends drop by unannounced is annoying. They don’t even have to be friends!
Neighbors will constantly walk by and want to check out your stylin’ pad. It’s rude, is what it is. We don’t have any sugar, John, leave us alone.
Download the Fewer Stalkbys mod and you’ll be free from having to stop what you’re doing just to say hi to someone you didn’t care to see in the first place. It even got updated so that Sims will wait no more than 20 “sim” minutes for you to open the door.
What a relief. It starts to get creepy when they wait out there for hours.
Welfare For Your Sims
If you want to roleplay your families having to sign up for welfare, then this Sims 4 mod is perfect for your next playthrough or even challenge.
Your sims can sign up for it by applying for it as though it were a career. You’ll show up one day out of the week for an hour and get a small sum for that week.
It’s definitely a mod to think about if you’re looking to do any of the tough monetary challenges.
More Careers
Another part of the game that’s constantly being tweaked by the community are the careers. While there are a lot with all of the expansion packs and the base game, there can always be more, right?
Modders think so, too. You’re going to want to keep your eyes open for more of ’em, but here are some I’ve found that seem pretty cool.
Get that money with these.
Not Always DTF
If you, like me, are really weirded out by how often sims are just DTF all the time, then this mod will be great for you. With it, sometimes, they just won’t be in the mood.
Even if they’re married or dating the other sim, they now will need to be flirty before the Woohoo or Try For Baby options come up.
Realistic Earnings
Being able to be stinking rich very fast in the game is fun and all, but where’s the real difficulty? If you’re looking for more realistic salaries for the different careers, you can download this and lower it by either 25% or 50% (your choice).
Thus, every single career will yield less and your bills will get higher. Especially if you installed the bills mod I mentioned earlier in this post. Gosh, too much like real life, isn’t it?
Set What Your Sim Is Into
This mod opens up the option to set your sim’s gender preference. It won’t conflict with any mods, is easy to use, and percentages can also be set for each gender.
A great way to add uniqueness to your characters by making them have specific dating preferences, eh?
New Recipes
Here’s an awesome thing that modders are constantly working on: new recipes! Once you’ve played enough of the game, you’re bound to get bored of all the things you’re able to cook.
Day in and day out, it can get mundane to eat the same meals everyday.
Better Body Sims 4 Hiroki
Especially for your sims. Check around for new recipes, like this one that introduces two new soups.
Romance Is Fun
Isn’t it weird how sims don’t gain fun with any of the romance interactions besides woohoo? Not even the Romantic or Alluring sims!
Well, this modder thought so, too, and made a mod that allows Alluring and Romantic characters to get their fun need up with some romance! Kissing, flirting, everything will get that moodlet and mood up.
Cooking Makes Sense
With this mod, cooking has become a bit harder. Food that didn’t cost anything now does, group meals cost a more realistic amount, and some recipes have been changed to need more ingredients than they normally would.
This also allows for two ways of cooking.
One will require ingredients to make food, and the other makes ingredients optional (if you don’t have them, the food will just cost more to cook).
Canvas Racks Aren’t For Show
While canvas racks were cool decor for the artsy houses that you might create and play, they kind of didn’t make sense. That is, before this mod. Now canvas racks do exactly as they’re supposed to and can be used to store paintings from inventories.
No longer will you necessarily have to sell that masterpiece because there’s no room on your walls right now.
Automatic Burn Scars
If your sim messes up while cooking or poking a fire, there’s going to be hell to deal with. When a fire bursts out in the game, your sim can often get caught in it. It’s up to either them or someone else to put them out.
But what if damage were done to their skin already once that happens? That’s where this mod comes in. It adds automatic burn scars to their skin after they’ve been engulfed in flames.
Stop Getting Sick!
This mod gets rid of the random illness system brought in by the Get to Work expansion. Just in case you’re not into that annoying new way of making your sims feel more human and mortal.
It removes the random sickness but doesn’t affect hospital patients. If you’re tired of the sicknesses in the game, you’ll find this to be one of the greatest Sims 4 mods.
Wake Up!
Find it troublesome dealing with your sim getting sleepy all the time? Don’t want to waste your valuable time watching them sleep to recover? Well, the regular espresso machines probably don’t cut it in your case.
This mod makes it so that a cup of Joe wakes your sim right the hell up.
Burn, Burn, Burn
Following up on that burn scars mod listing, if you just plain ol’ love to watch the world burn, then this mod is for you. With it, the fires in The Sims 4 can start up faster and spread quickly.
They become more intense as you choose from three different options. Perfect for those that want to quickly dispose of their sims.
Shut Up, Skill Level Up Messages
In The Sims 4, leveling up your skills means getting a very intrusive message in the center of the screen. With this mod, that message goes away completely and you won’t have anything obstructing your view as your sim kicks butt and levels up.
If you’re annoyed by it, then you’ll definitely have to consider getting this one.
No Perk Costs For Busineses
I really summed this one up right there in the subheading. It’s a simple mod that allows you to buy any perks tied to any business you own, totally for free.
No need to pay those points you get. This is a huge plus for anyone looking to open up a five star restaurant as fast as they possibly can.
Circular and Oval Fences
This is a good one for those builders out there. If you’ve been trying to make some oval flowerbeds or, let’s say, a kiddie pool that’s bigger than the ones added within the game, you’re able to do that thanks to this mod!
It brings the ability to make circular and oval, low fences.
Shower With Gusto
Autonomous sims tend to make poor choices. That’s why any mods that alter their decisions are very welcome in the community. For example, this mod makes it so that sims won’t automatically opt to take a regular shower.
Rather, when given the option, they’ll choose a mood shower instead. This is useful as it will assure that your sim keeps their mood going.
Activity Chair Works Better
The Activity Table is awesome for kids to work on their creativity, but it can be extremely clunky. With this mod, the whole thing becomes just a chair that you can set to any table.
That way, it’s a lot less space consuming and can become part of the already established decor.
Spawn in Faster Will Ya?
The game waits five minutes after a sim has spawned into a lot before spawning in the next one. Five whole sim minutes. This mod works to shorten that time so that locations are a lot less barren.
Super useful when combined with mods that increase number of people in a lot. No one likes it when the world feels empty, and this Sims 4 mod definitely helps with that.
That’s Gross, Sims
Your families are super efficient sometimes. But that can also mean super grossness as they take their dirty dishes to the bathroom sink instead of the kitchen.
Look, that’s just nasty. Use this mod to fix that.
Make Your Sims Look a Little Realistic
While the original art for The Sims 4 is great, having realistic skins always ups the quality of any game with mods.
There are sure to be many new skin mods that will come out as time progresses, so keep an eye out for them.
This mod, for example, is one of the very few and helps to make your characters look more realistic with their skin texture.
Anatomically Correct Mod
Think your male sims look a bit too much like Ken dolls? Well, maybe it’s time to get this mod that adds some, ahem, anatomical correctness. Just… just check it out.
And if you’re interested in more adult-themed mods, you should check out our post over here.
Warning, there’s mature content in that link, though!
Make Time More Realistic
Time can be super fast in this game. Before you know it, you hardly have time to go out after a long work day. Especially since you want to make sure you complete your work requirements and keep your basic needs up.
This mod hopes to fix this issue for those that find that there’s not enough time in a day. It’ll make time work more realistically and mirror real life’s 24 hour cycle.
Keep Out
Tired of certain people coming over and rummaging through your stuff? This mod makes it possible to lock doors for certain people. You can choose up to 8 different sims to not lock it for and allow them to freely enter and exit whatever room.
Perfect for misers with a ton of treasure in a certain room.
Take Care of That Baby
As has been stated many times, the characters in the game are sometimes total idiots with their autonomous actions.
Instead of taking care of a crying baby correctly, they’ll opt for the wrong actions sometimes.
Like feeding them instead of changing their diaper. This mod makes their autonomous decisions a lot smarter when it comes to making sure a baby is happy.
OMG, Have the Baby Already
Waiting for a baby to be born can be pretty annoying. Especially if you’ve had, like, a million sim babies. This mod makes it possible to speed up the pregnancy with seven different options.
No Censoring
Want to see your sims in a new light? Take out those censor mosaic blurs with this mod. Perfect with that previously mentioned male junk mod, eh?
Tone Those Trees Down
This mod is simple enough, but it gets rid of some dastardly glow if you happen to hate it. Download it to remove the Growfruit trees’ glow! It will be a regular ol’ tree.
Get to Work and Stay There
This mod is perfect for those that have Get to Work and find that moving up on their career paths is a bit time consuming and difficult.
It allows you to stay at your Doctor, Scientist, or Detective job for 15 hours, have the option to stay even later, and get double the wages for the time spent. Get those promotions!
Healthy Drinking
This mod adds a juice blender to your buy options for your household. You’ll be able to make freshly squeezed juice using fruits as ingredients. They’re taken from the fridge or sim, whichever has the fruits first.
Note that the better the fruit, the better the juice quality. Oh, and it will cost you 180 simoleons.
Must Have Sims 4 ModsChildren of the Corn
This mod allows children to harvest from trees and bushes all the fruits they might want. Why wasn’t this already available? Who knows!
It also adds, as an aside, the option for children to interact with plants.
However, they’ll need two points in Creative and four in Social before they can.
Couch Together
The original Sims 4 advertisements were filthy liars in the way it made it look like couches could hold multiple sims all together like that. Well, this mod sets out to make this a reality.
With it, more than three sims can sit at a couch and talk to one another. Just hangin’ out.
Working Alarm Clocks
This mod adds the functionality to the static alarm clocks to allow your sims to wake up a bit earlier than they normally would. This is to help them prep in the mornings.
Actually adding functionality to something that should have had it to begin with is a huge plus.
Kleptos For All
Ever want to perform a robbery with a sim that doesn’t have the Klepto trait? Well, now you can! This mod allows any sim to have the “swipe” ability.
If everyone can be a thief now, well, we have to call this one of the best Sims 4 mods.
Security Cameras
Want some high-security decor for your household, retail store, or lot? Well, this mod adds the buyable security cameras to your game. They will cost you 500 simoleons.
A bit of roleplay never hurt anyone.
Write Songs Faster
Have a musically inclined sim but hate how long it takes them to write a song? This mod makes it so that your sims can write a song on piano, guitar, or violin in just two hours.
This makes it more in line with other activities that deal with writing, so it’s definitely a good idea for fans that have a musical sim.
No More Distortion
If your game’s got a bad case of your sims’ television sets showing distorted images, this mod is for you! With it, the distortion that started happening after a patch will be bye-bye.
Best Sims 4 ModsCute Piggy Bank
This mod adds a piggy bank that you can buy for your sims’ households. It’s not actually usable, but it is really cute.
Best Sims 4 ModsHug Like You Mean it
Whenever sims use the “Lend Emotional Support” action, they seem to look a bit repressed in their hug. To make it way better and more emotional, you can download this mod and make it a much more intimate moment between the two sims.
Simple, but a real roleplaying changer.
Hanging Bookshelf!
There’s a shamefully small amount of hangable objects in The Sims 4 as of right now. Hanging shelves and bookshelves are so useful because they take up zero room on your sim’s floor.
Luckily, this mod adds a hanging bookshelf that looks really good.
You’re no Easter Bunny
This mod just makes easter egg collecting way easier for your sim. It makes the chances 20 or 40 times higher so you can get one of the specific easter eggs whenever you click the hidden eggs.
This is even without the Collector trait!
Amazing Sims 4 ModsRobot Skins!
This mod makes skins available for your child sim to be able to look like a tiny robot. Let them loose on society! It brings many different skins, colors, and heads.
While it’s not possible to make robots yet, this is a good alternative if you want to roleplay some beep boop beeps.
Teleport Sims All Over the Place
If you’ve been looking for a way to get some sims to teleport over to your lot (or any lot) for whatever reason, this mod is for you.
You’re able to place this knight looking statue and choose which sims will teleport over to its location.
Additionally, you can use the statue to make sims “just go away” and leave the lot instantly. Perfect for getting rid of Death, right?
Hate Smiles?
If you can’t friggin’ STAND your sim’s mood overlay showing them smiling all the time, this mod remedies your very specific disdain with the game.
It makes all the poses a more neutral look, without smiling and showing teeth. No happiness for you!
Rubik’s
For huge fans of Rubik’s Cubes, this mod is for you. Download it and you’ll be able to buy a Rubik’s Cube for 200 simoleons from the skills section of the buy menu.
Funny thing about this mod, it’s basically reskinning of the magic 8-ball so your sims will talk to it.
Modders Even Making Aesthetic Choices
With the camping game pack that you can get, you’re able to camp and visit new lots. This modder has changed the 30×30 lot to have a more “natural” look because she found that the previous one looked worse than what she could come up with. Expert.
This mod is also a gorgeous, aesthetic one that changes the way water looks like in pools and ponds. Now, water will be reflective, shiny, and look very realistic. It’s really a beautiful change to your pools.
Stop Sippin’
This mod removes the sims need to constantly go get a random drink. Apparently, it’s a hidden mood in the game that they try to fulfill whenever they’re autonomous.
Neat to know, and even neater to get rid of!
Best Sims 4 ModsPokemon!
This mod brings a set of Pokemon shirts for your sims to don around town. They’ll be looking stylish. Unfortunately, there aren’t that many different shirts, but hey, any Pokemon is good Pokemon, right?
Speaking of those pocket monsters, by the way. Some modder also even added in a bunch of build/buy Pokemon to place all around your household.
They can’t move or anything like that, they aren’t pets, but it’s still really cool to decorate with. Here’s that mod.
Another neat thing is to make the Voidcritters (obviously influenced by Pocket Monsters) and cutting out all pretenses. This makes Voidcritters obviously Pokemon by literally making them into them.
Better Savant
This mod will upgrade the savant trait that your sims can randomly get in order to make the increase in skills far more noticeable. Before, it’s 25% faster skill gain.
With this mod, it can be 5 to 12 times faster than usual. Time saver?
Great Sims 4 ModsKeep Dancing
This mod makes the group dancing in Get Together last longer. You’d think people wouldn’t get bored of dancing together if they’re at a party or club, right?
So why are they walking away while the beat is just getting started?
Item Recolorings
There are a bunch of different mods that will allow you to buy even more color variants of popular items. For example, here’s the cheapest fridge, cheapest stove, and the waste bin, all in over 10 colors.
Keep an eye out for more items you might want in different colors. Recolors happen a lot.
Best Sims 4 ModsMake Ordinary Places Special
With this mod, you’ll be able to hold any events in generic venues. No longer will you need to pick and choose where your next party is going to be.
Make it in the weirdest, run down place if you want to!
More Harvestable Plants
There are quite a few mods that add more harvestable plants to the world for your sims to pick fruits and veggies from. For example, here’s a blueberry one and a raspberry one.
You’ll be picking all kinds of different fruits and vegetables in no time!
Neck Nibbles
This mod is for those romantic sims out there. Install it and you’ll be able to perform the “kiss neck” with YA, adult, and elders. Nibble, nibble, nibble. Beautiful.
Disney Style
Them modders are incredible in how they design such wonderous houses. With this mod, your sims will be able to live in the iconic Cinderella Disney castle.
It’s massive and ostentatious and perfect for Disney fans.
Best Sims 4 ModsTuck in Anybody
Let’s say that an adult sim is sick and their partner wants to make sure they’re okay while they’re sleeping. Before, you couldn’t use the “Tuck In” command that you could with the younglings, but that’s no more!
With this mod, you’re going to be able to use the Tuck In command on any life state and age! Well, except Elder, for some reason. Cute, right?
Deathray Time
Are you a diabolical sim scientist that invented the Freeze Ray that comes with the Get to Work expansion?
This mod enables the option to use it as a Death Ray which kills whatever sim it’s used on as though it were electrocution.
Best Sims 4 Build & Buy ModsIncense Doesn’t Burn Everything Down Anymore
If you, like me, love to use the mood buffers available within TS4, then you no doubt plant an incense holder here and there around the house.
And then everything is lit aflame as that one little stick causes a mass fire in your household. Ah, how peaceful, right?
Well, this mod makes it so that those little incense holders no longer cause fires. What a relief.
Towel Around
Like your created characters in their towels like when they exit saunas and venues in the Spa Day game pack? Well, this mod adds that feature to all kinds of lots, as well as makes it last for 30 in-game minutes.
Good Sims 4 ModsPets Don’t Have Fears
While it’s neat to have your pets in TS4 have a certain uniqueness to them, the fears can be a bit much. It’s annoying to hear them whining every five seconds or barking just because the TV is on.
This mod gets rid of all of that, as pets will no longer have any fear.
New Posters and Art
This mod adds a bunch of iconic movie posters to the buy menu. Not only that, but each of them have been switched around to fit the sim world. The actors are all sims, and the writing is even simlish.
Meanwhile, this mod also adds artwork that you can purchase within the game. Of dogs on bicycles. It’s perfect. There are plenty of other mods you can search for and find of pretty much whatever you can imagine, too.
Additionally, there’s a ton of different artworks that you can download. I recommend ya have your eyes peeled for a bunch of these.
Best Sims 4 ModsBirds and Their Cage!
For those missing the birds from past Sims expansions, you’ll be happy to know that there are some mods that bring our feathered friends officially into the game. But why they weren’t included already only lord knows.
Here are two that allows you to place the birds in the game (one here and one here), and here’s one that makes it so you can put them in cages, too.
Shut the Aliens Up
For those of you that can’t stand the way aliens sound with their silly voices, you can install this mod and change them to sound much more human.
Additionally, in case somehow this doesn’t scare you, the Reaper.
Build Custom Showers
This is for those of you out there that have been dying for some new, beautiful, custom showers in the game. And you’re able to make some really spacious areas for the showers and really make your sims’ bathrooms pop with modern designs using it.
Great Sims 4 Wohoo ModsMake Woohoo Less Lame
When a sim is accepting a woohoo proposal, there are lame animations that stereotypical bros would do. Fist bumping, high-fiving, overly excited, all of these are replaced with flirty animations when you install this mod.
So much of the game was cut, for some reason, but modders have found them all out. This mod unlocks certain interactions that your sims would do after they woohoo.
These include pillow talk, whisper secret, tickle, kiss, and snuggle nuzzle.
Best Sims 4 Build & Buy ModsSliding Doors, Yes!
While I don’t doubt that there are plenty of examples of sliding doors in The Sims 4, I want to bring up these mods and custom content to your attention because you might not know they’re a thing.
Here’s one in particular that you can download to add functional sliding doors to your game.
Awesome Sims 4 ModsKnow Everything
This mod gives you the power of a search function within the game. You can look up any sim by a variety of different filters including gender, household, age, and many more.
You can also find out about specific people by clicking on them, too. Perfect for finding out waaaaay more than you need to know about your neighbors.
And that’s it for our mega post on the best Sims 4 mods that you need to download right this moment! Hope you enjoyed all the must have Sims 4 mods we came across.
