How to install mods on The Sims

Before explaining what are the best mods for The Sims , I think it might interest you to learn more about how to install this custom content in the various games of the saga. I remind you that the mods are only compatible with the computer versions of The Sims 4 and The Sims 2.

For The Sims 4, just take the mod .package or .ts4script files and move / copy them to Documents> Electronic Arts> The Sims 4> Mods . If the Mods folder is not present, create a new one with this name.

To enable a mod on The Sims 4 , you have to press on the three dots icon located at the top right, select the Game Options item , access the Other tab and check the Enable custom content and mods box . I also recommend that you enable scripts by checking the Script Mods Allowed box . Don’t forget to press the Apply changes button to save the changes. You will also need to restart the game for everything to work properly.

As for The Sims 2 , it’s all very simple here too: you just have to place the mod .package files in the path C: \ Users \ [name] \ Documents \ EA Games \ .The Sims 2 \ Downloads , if you are using Windows . For macOS the path is ~ / library / Containers / com.aspyr.sims2.appstore / Data / Library / Application Support / Aspyr / The Sims 2 / SavedSims / . Again, if the Downloads folder doesn’t exist, simply create it.

To activate a mod on The Sims 2, all you have to do is start the game, check the Activate custom material box and press OK . In some cases, the mod files may be compressed in .zip . If you don’t know how to manage this type of file, I invite you to take a look at my guide on how to unzip a ZIP file . For more details on The Sims mods, I recommend that you consult my guide on how to download custom content on The Sims instead .

Best The Sims 4 mods

The Sims 4 is a very important chapter for the series created by Will Wright, since the user has given a lot of vent to their imagination through the mods. Below you will find the personalized content that convinced me the most.

MC Command Center

MC Command Center is one of the most appreciated mods by The Sims 4 community, since it allows you to make the player’s adventure much easier by introducing various features.

To download the mod, connect to the DeaderPool website and press the MC Command Center [version] on the left. At this point, all you have to do is extract all the .ts4script files inside the ZIP and move / copy them to the Mods folder . Remember to enable mods through the instructions I explained to you in the opening chapter .

Once in the game, press on a Sim and select the MC Command Center item . At this point, a menu will appear on the screen that includes all the possibilities implemented by the mod. They are divided by category: CAS (family unit), Cheats (makeup), Cleaner , Dresser (clothes), Pregnancy (pregnancy), Tuner and much more.

To give you some concrete examples, you can get more money simply by pressing first on the MC Cheats item and then on the Increase Funds item . After that, you just have to choose the amount you want to receive (minimum 1, maximum 9999999) and press OK , to “earn” that sum.

Furthermore, the mod can also be used to start a pregnancy . In this case, just follow the path MC Command Center> MC Pregnancy> Early Pregnancy . Then you will have to choose who is the other parent , type the number of children you want (between boys and girls, maximum 3) and press OK .

Finally, you can also have your female character give birth immediately by clicking on Pregnancy Phase and then on Pregnancy: in labor . After that, just press on your Sim , select the item Give birth in the hospital and the game will be done.

Among the various features of MC Command Center, there is the possibility to change clothes quickly, to change the characteristics of the Sims and to start relationships in no time at all. In short, this mod will surely help you to advance very quickly within the game and now you know how to use it.

Meaningful Stories

One of the most “criticized” aspects by the Sims 4 community is the emotion system . The latter in fact provides for the alteration of the emotions of the Sims from one moment to the next in a not very realistic way. For this reason, the Meaningful Stories mod was created , able to make the emotions of the characters more meaningful in terms of gameplay.

You can download this mod by connecting to the Roburky website , scrolling the page and pressing the Download button . A ZIP file will be downloaded : all you have to do is extract the .package and .ts4script files inside the Mods folder .

Once a game has started, tap on a Sim and select the roBurky item first and then the Meaningful Stories item . In this way, a window will appear on the screen that will introduce (in English) all the features implemented.

Perfect, now all you have to do is play your adventure quietly and you will see that when your Sim changes emotion, tutorial messages will start showing up explaining how the mod is changing your character’s behaviors. In any case, I don’t want to give you too many previews: you just need to know that the game will become more “realistic”.

Become a Sorcerer

How do you say? Would you like to do something different than usual in The Sims 4? Well then you definitely need to try the Become a Sorcerer mod . In fact, the latter allows your character to become a real sorcerer.

To download the mod, you need to connect to the Triplis website , press the DOWNLOAD button on the right and press the blue Download button that appears on the screen. Then, as usual, just put the .package and .ts4script files in the Mods folder .

Once in the game, you can start your “career” as a sorcerer by pressing on the hammer and wrench icon in the top right, typing ” suspicious lump of clay ” using the search bar on the left and selecting the result most relevant.

At this point, place the Suspicios Lump of Clay object where you want (the cost is 150 Simeleon ) and press on the icon of the two people present in the upper right. Now, press on the object you just placed and select the item Examine the object . If everything went correctly, the tutorial explaining how to use the mod should start to appear at the top right .

In any case, simply press on your Sim , select the Spells item and choose, for example, the option Meditate on the spirit of Lamadeus> Do Ritual of Neutrality . After that, go to the Spells> Black Arts> Practice path to start becoming familiar with your role as a sorcerer.

Perfect, now you have learned how to pursue your “career”. I don’t want to give you any further spoilers, but if you are interested in this mod, I recommend that you consult the official website (in English), where you can find all the relevant information about what can be done in the game.

Best The Sims 2 mods

The Sims 2 is a title that is now behind its years and at the time of its release creating mods was much more difficult than today. For this reason, many mods are pure cosmetic changes . Also note that there are several versions of The Sims 2 and therefore installing this custom content may not work as it should in some cases.

Monique’s Hacked Computer

Computers are a fundamental part of The Sims 2, but the game only has a rather old-fashioned design. Well, the Monique’s Hacked Computer mod introduces 13 different colors for the PCs present in the game. In short, with this personalized content you can finally make your character’s multimedia station more “lively”.

To download the mod, simply go to the Mod The Sims website , click on Files and get Monique-CheapHackedComputer-Recolours-ByMichelle.zip . After that, you will simply have to extract and place all the .package files inside the ZIP in the Downloads folder .

At this point, start The Sims 2 , check the Enable custom material box and press OK . Once in the game, just search among the objects present by going to the Electronics> TV and Computer section . I remind you that you can enter the “buy” mode by pressing on the chair icon . You will need 1500 Simoleons to buy computers.

Baby Bottle Replacement

One aspect of The Sims 2 that hasn’t gone down well with many players is the representation of the bottle to be given to babies. Indeed, the latter contains a “green substance” which does not seem to be very inviting. For this reason, the Baby Bottle Replacement mod was created , which replaces the default bottle with a “classic” one that contains milk.

To download the mod, all you have to do is go to The Sims Resource website and press the green DOWNLOAD button . After that, the BabyBottleReplacement.zip file will be downloaded and all you have to do is extract the 2 .package files inside the Downloads folder .

Once you have started The Sims 2 and allowed the use of custom material , just play and you will see that the mod will have automatically replaced the “green substance” present by default with real milk. Surely now the bottle with milk will make your baby happier.

Since you are interested in The Sims, I would like to recommend some tutorials that might be right for you. In particular, I invite you to take a look at my guides on how to build a house on The Sims , how to make money on The Sims , how to download custom content on The Sims , how to enlarge objects on The Sims and how to have twins on The Sims .
