Once your Sims have visited the DMV for a license or bus pass, you can send them exploring just by clicking on them, which brings up a radial wheel of options. You can send them shopping they'll come back with new clothes , to dance classes, to local attractions, to gambling spots, to take on some part-time work, and more. Their skills and motives will change based on the activity you choose, and you can tell your Sim to "Explore With" another character if you want to improve relations.
Sims will also randomly explore if you don't intervene, which is neat. The mod works with the base game, but some options rely on specific packs: you can't send Sims for take-out ice cream if you don't own the Cool Kitchen Stuff pack, for example. A mod pack containing some of prolific Sims 4 modder roBurky's best work, all aimed at making your Sims feel more human. If you've used Emotional Inertia or True Happiness—both previously on this list individually—then you'll attest to the quality of roBurky's work, and both of those mods are in the package alongside other must-haves.
Make sure your sims look awesome with the best gaming PCs right now. Emotional Inertia, redesigned just for this collection, stops your Sims' moods flipping on and off like a light switch. In the base game, simply having a good meal in a well-decorated room fills them with joy for a few hours, but then the feeling vanishes.
Emotional inertia makes moods less predictable, but more stable: they'll change less and last longer, making it more difficult to game the system. True Happiness, meanwhile, changes your Sims' default state from "happy" to "fine". Making them happy actually requires something special to happen, such as meeting a new partner, which will boost their mood considerably for a short time.
But Meaningful Stories is more than just these two well-liked mods. It also changes how the environment, such as paintings, impacts your Sims' moods. The effects are now more subtle and build up over time. It also stops extreme mood swings, so that instead of going from extreme happiness to sadness your sim will move through the natural, neutral in-between stages.
Lastly, it creates more variable moodlets, meaning the same source of mood can give stronger or weaker effects at random. Modder roBurky has other features in the pipeline, which you can read about on the mod page. Do you miss the magic of previous Sims games? Become a Sorcerer adds a hearty serving of the supernatural, letting your Sims sling magic spells that can either suck the sadness out of a friend or strike down an enemy with a bolt of lightning.
This mod by LittleMsSam adds extra options for your romantically-inclined Sims. Using their phone, Sims can plan a date with another Sim at a particular neighborhood location. You can also choose to have one-night-stands and get calls for hook-ups from other NPC Sims. The main mod is pretty unrestricted in who it considers to be eligible for dates, including those in different age categories than your Sim and Sims already in relationships.
To fine-tune your dating experience, check out the handful of optional addons available with the SimDa app. The imagination behind them is impressive, and most of them give you a fully-fleshed out path to follow. Whether you want to become a tattoo artist , game developer , stock broker or zookeeper , you can now follow your dreams.
We especially enjoy transforming our sim from a lowly PR assistant to the owner of a sports team in the sports agent career , which is a converted version of a career from The Sims 3: University Life. If you want more culinary creativity, then Custom Food Interactions is the only place you should start. This is one of our favourites on the best Sims 4 mods list. Forming relationships, making a family, and going through your sim life. Significant experiences makes the Sims series truly exciting.
This directly impacts romantic relationships as they are no longer possible for second cousins. Great grandparents now have the option to family kiss or encourage their great grandchildren as well. This one is aimed specifically towards teens and up, making their romantic relationships more interesting. Well if this is something you can relate to, you can probably already tell how this mod adds that sense of realism to your Sims experience.
You now have the option to decide if a relationship is not going anywhere serious, and to agree to just be friends. In line with that, you ever notice how that cinematic of sending a child off to college seems to always be a little… off? It makes that scene much more realistic as well. You can decide for yourself how many children you will give birth to, assign the odds for children, or keep it completely random. Fun stuff! The have and adopt a child mechanic also has its flaws as they are completely separated in the game.
With this quick fix, that will no longer be an issue as having a child satisfied the adoption want, and vice versa. The actual task of caring for each and every toddler can get quite tedious. You simply place the bowl on the floor, add some cereal, and voila. Your toddlers can eat on their own.
Worse mods have been made. For all the pet-lovers out there, your pets can now choose to sleep on the foot of the bed while being used by a child.
Take note, though, that once the child becomes an adult this will no longer be possible. They can still sleep on an empty side of a double bed though. So if you like to keep your pets close check this one out. With thorough playtesting, each life stage has been increased to give the game a more realistic feel in terms of growing up. The base game included 10 options for job tracks.
But with all the expansion packs you can find even more exclusive career tracks for the game. The Job Seeking Noticeboard actually makes a lot of sense: it adds a job board posting in community lots. As stated by the modder himself, this is a great choice for poorer sims who just can shell out cash for a new fancy-schmancy Steve Jobs device. Among the available Lifetime Wants in the Sims 2, there were actually four college career paths that were added in the University expansion pack but later removed.
This mod brings those four Lifetime Wants back, as your sim may want to reach the top levels of the Artist, Natural Science, Paranormal, or Showbusiness careers. As some sims may aspire to raise multiple pets or become Mayor, your sim may prefer a career as an Ecological Guru, a Visionary in the world of arts, or even a Cult Leader.
Secondly, cockroaches in the Sims are nasty little pests that spawn when the environment is dirty. They cause your sims an unbelievable level of discomfort by cancelling actions and distracting them until the issue is resolved. The easiest way to get rid of these pests is stomping them out , but the success rate is pretty low. Making a roach infestation even more of an unwanted stress. This simple mod fixes that problem. It makes your sims complain first instead of actually quitting.
Now that may not sound like much of an alternative, but at least the choice will be left to you to decide what happens next. Your sim may end up clogging the toilet from forgetting to flush after using it. Well messy or neat, your sims now have been gifted with much better toilet etiquette as they will always flush after use.
As such, the friendship will become a bit weird as one Sim grows older. LittleMsSam 's aging mod allows the player to age up other Sims, and even age up a number of different Sims at the same time.
It makes the whole process much easier and quicker. One of the biggest, glaring flaws in The Sims 4 is the fact that toddlers an children have skills that don't carry over into the next age. It feels a bit unfair that the grind for maxing out all the skills or at least the relevant ones has to start again, especially prior to being a teenager.
Thanks to the Lifetime Skills mod , skills will not finally carry over to the next age. Skills like Thinking will become Mental and eventually will transfer into the Logic skill. Similarly, Movement becomes Motor and finally levels up into Fitness, so players never need to worry about losing their skills again. The Sims 4 is a monster of a game, especially in saves that have existed for a long time.
It's not uncommon for players, even those with great PCs, to see some strange things happen around town when they play longer playthroughs like legacies. Sims stuck in idle animations are one of the main issue people tend to face. There's a great mod out there by Turbodriver , which basically prevents this from happening.
EA's working very hard to patch out any bugs in the game, but with so much on their plate, it's only natural the modding community has to step in to do some of the work. Anyone who has ever thought that the highest speed available in The Sims 4 isn't fast enough is definitely not alone with the sentiment. With how tedious the game can get, it's totally understandable to want things to go much faster.
The worst part is when the game refuses to engage the maximum speed at times. There's a mod by artum which allows an even higher speed into the game. Finally, watching Sims do their daily routine becomes easier when this speed is included in the game.
However, this mod is a pretty hefty one, and can have some adverse effects so use with caution and moderation. However, Daily Save Mod coded by temptest can save your progress every game day, using seven rotating slots. This ensures you have many chances to undo your mistake whether you have killed your Sim or destroyed your house!
For various reasons, people want their gameplay to have more depth or be more immersive. The Sims 4 has personality algorithms that can place Sims in moods depending on conversations and the environment. However, these feelings and moods can be predictable and not feel genuine. To enhance the immersion, roBurky coded the amazing Emotional Inertia Mod , which manipulates the moods of Sims. This extends the duration of certain moods depending on their levels of feelings, to deliver a more authentic feel to the emotions the Sims have.
Although no one can deny Realm Of Magic brought in some interesting gameplay, the pack was just a bit too small in its scope to really leave a mark on the fans. It allows you to sell fish to a marketplace and turn them into food, and more! This includes tons of stuff, like a burn book, a popularity system, dirty secrets, and so much more. One thing that tons of simmers are constantly begging for is the ability to go to school with their sims.
You get to create a lot where you can go to school, including desks, and a kitchen, and send your sims there each day. The have some personality please mod, created by Polarbearsims patreon gives your sims a bit better personality, involving things like no idle chat, and more things learned from deep conversations.
You can also use this mod for things like risky woohoo and giving your sim extra autonomy. The go to school mod that was created by Zerbu and lets you actually go to school with your sims. It created an entire school with class rooms, offices, and more. This mod uses the same systems as The Sims 4: Get to Work and therefore requires that pack to be installed in order to function properly, as the go to school mod works just like the active careers from that pack.
This mod, created by LittleMsSam Patreon allows you to start an at-home business instead of having to own a separate lot. This includes things like a live in daycare, a live in vet clinic, and so much more.
In The Sims 4 we are only given 3 slots for choosing traits for our sims which is a down grade from 5 in The Sims 3, which is disappointing. Thankfully, modders like Vicky Sims patreon create mods that you can use to add more traits which can help give your sims more personality.
This is awesome because you can create more unique looking sims that are more beautiful than ever before! Thankfully, modders like Vibrant Pixels Patreon have created body sliders that can be used to drag body parts further than you are able to just with the game functions.
This mod makes it so your can use the 3 key to go extremely quick to speed through boring parts of the game, allowing you to have more time for the fun stuff and less time watching them eat or do homework. Unfortunately, since EA never added real cars there is no way to really make it so your sims cars are drivable properly. The daily save mod by Tempest is totally game changing and will make it so you never lose your progress again!
This mod allows you to choose a time of day in the game where your game will automatically save. You could make it so your game saves every morning at 8 am so you never miss a full day if your game or computer crashes again.
Right now your sims can get sick, but you just take medicine that you order on the computer and then everything is fine. This mod adds things like blood pressure, health checkups, longer lasting illness, and the ability to call out of work when you are sick.
A lot of players want The Sims 4 to be more like real life, and in real life, we get sick. So this mod is a great one for realism and interesting family gameplay.
This mod requires only the base game but can be made better by owning Get to Work or Cats and Dogs, or both. That way you can do health stuff with your pets or incorporate it with the Doctor Career. Something that really needs some work in The Sims 4 is romance, it is really stale and lacking some flair that it desperately needs. Thankfully, Lumpinou Patreon is creating a road to romance mod to make things better.
This mod lets you go on new romantic excursions with your sims, and adds a whole bunch of new romantic interactions to the game so you can have a better romantic relationship in the game. My favourite part about this mod is that they added a whole new romance skill that your sims can earn to get better at romance and learn new interactions.
One thing that is severely lacking in The Sims 4 is realism when it comes to pregnancy and giving birth. Now with this mod by LittleMsSam Patreon you can have your sims experience the joys of an ultrasound!
I am obsessed with things like the ultrasound mod because it really makes your sims pregnancies feel more like a serious event, and less like a 3 day long nuisance. The career mega pack mod, created by Midnitetech Patreon , allows your sims to have A TON of new career options in the game.
These range from things like robbers, real estate agents, psychologists and so much more. You are able to add one of the careers to your game, or all if you choose, giving you total customization on which careers you may want. It allows you to learn all sorts of spells and sorcery and do a bunch of cool stuff and it all starts with a small lump of clay.
This is not enough and weerbesu Patreon has a mod that will let you change it up to 3, 4 or 5 columns instead. This may be something so simple but it allows you to see so many more items at a time making creating beautiful characters exponentially easier in The Sims 4. The faster eating and drinking mod makes your sims eating speed just go a little bit faster so you can spend more time doing other things, it will also decrease the amount of time they are focused on talking or watching TV while they are eating.
This includes things like a honeymoon, daycare, pet sitters, hiking trips, and so much more. These things are of course, rabbit holes, but it still adds to the immersion of the game because it still feels like your sims are off doing these things.
The best part is that depending on the activity you send a sim to go complete, your sim will get needs up or skills. For example, you will get social filled if you go to visit friends, or can get the painting or photography skill if you send your sim on an art exhibition. This mod only requires the base game to download and use, making it awesome for all players!
Not longer after The Sims 4: Cats and Dogs was released players realized that there was code in the game allowing cats and dogs to be playable if you just do a quick fix.
This mod makes it so you can fully control your pets, however, since it was never released by EA as an option you may see some issues with it occasionally. With The Sim 4: Get to Work we got a bunch of new active careers that are really fun, but there were no aspirations to make them more well rounded and interesting for your sims. I feel like if a sim is going to become a doctor they need a full aspiration, it just makes sense.
Thankfully a creator named Konansock created a set of 4 aspirations for your sims to use with these careers. For example, a sim in the doctor career would use the Guardian of Health aspiration.
Since this mod is tied to the Get to Work careers, you are going to need both the base game and The Sims 4: Get to Work for it to be functional.
Arnie is an amazing custom content creator Patreon and this mod creates an entire world where you can go to different shops, movie theatres and even a functional airport, seriously. Somehow Arnie has managed to create an entire world that is open, allowing you to go all over the world without loading screens. There is even a story for you to solve to get you to the new world.
This mod features both open venues and brand new rabbit holes that your sim can visit and is just so cool. The road to fame mod features things like hiring back up dancers, performing for tips, writing lyrics and recording songs, and so much more. This mod requires you to have the base game as well as The Sims 4: City Living installed for it to function properly, as you need the singing skill in your game.
Everything we do with kids in The Sims 4 feels entirely useless the second they age up from child to teen because they lose all skills they may have gained. This adult skills for kids mod is incredible because it will allow your kid sims to gain all of the adult skills while they are doing those tasks. Our next mod is the Armageddon mod by sacrificial mods that allows you to make the decision of whether you want to be a super hero or a super villian which is extremely fun and a totally different way to place The Sims 4.
There are a whole bunch of traits in The Sims 4 that you can only get if you complete aspirations that they are tied to. This is super annoying because some of them are really great, even better than the traits you can get in CAS. This mod takes those traits and plops them into the reward store for you to purchase with your satisfaction points instead of having to earn them. One huge annoyance for simmers who have played past games is that teens have no distinction from older sims.
They are the same height, have the same hobbies and look pretty identical. This auto shorter teens mod will remove at least one of those annoyances by changing the default height for all teens in your game. However, with any mod that alters the shape of a sim there are going to be multiple animation issues when playing, so just be aware of that.
Something that a lot of people deal with is growing beards and having to constantly upkeep their beards. The automatic beards mod gives you the option to have your sims facial hair grow gradually over time and gives you the option to shave and trim your beard to bring it back to previous levels of growth. Our next mod on the list is the babies for everyone mod that lets any sim try for baby with any other sim regardless of gender. This mod also allows all male presenting sims to get pregnant as well regardless of the gender of their partners, definitely an awesome and inclusive mod.
This bachelor mod is awesome and will add these parties to your game allowing you to go off and have one last party with your friends. This mod adds functional drugs to your game and allows you to do a lot with those drugs. Your sims are able to start drug dealing and selling them to all sorts of different sims in the world and even have run ins with the police as well as tons of other stuff, definitely a fun one to check out.
For whatever reason when EA added bikes to the game with Discover University, they only made them available for teens and older which is wild to me because kids ride bikes way more than adults in my experience. This bicycle mod is really great because it adds a bike for both your sim kids and your sim toddlers, with the kids bike having these adorable baskets on the front.
This mod even has a version for toddlers which is one of those ridable cars that got super popular a few years ago. Any player who loves to take screenshots in The Sims 4 will spend a ton of time using the tab mode camera, but for whatever reason this camera is not useable if you are in build mode.
