Have you ever wanted to add a little extra something to your Sims 4 game? Well, you’re in luck! There are tons of great Sims 4 mods out there that can help you customize your game and make it even more fun. In this article, we’ll show you some of the best Sims 4 mods and how to install them. So let’s get started!
The Best Sims 4 Mods
1. Have some personality please!
This fun mod called PolarBearSims does exactly what it sounds like – it makes your sims more personable, as well as dogs and cats. Characters will have more autonomy and can learn attributes and careers through deeper conversations. Plus, there are more interactions based on attributes, moods, conversations, and relationships. And small talk is eliminated so you can focus on deepening relationships.
2. Meaningful Stories
The Sims game features a complex emotional system that is much more realistic than the original. With this mod, you can add or remove certain emotions to your sims, making them feel more human.
3. Better Babies & Toddlers
Some might say the Sims 4 isn’t that deep when it comes to interactions with babies or toddlers. But, this Caradriel mod fixes that. With the new additions, adults can talk about their parenting experience, read magazines for tips on parenting, and even have a toddler say “mama” or “dada” as their first word.
4. Immortality and Eternal Youth
If you want to turn off the aging process for your Sims, it’s really easy to do in the settings. But this will affect all of your Sims across the entire world if you do it that way. If you only want to change some of them, you’ll need a mod. The Eternal Youth and Immortal trait mod is the one we recommend- it adds two new buyable traits to the game. The traits are Eternal Youth, which prevents your Sim from dying from old age but nothing else; and Immortal, which also prevents all deaths but they’ll continue to age while they have it enabled.
5. Simulation lag fix
This Mod by simmythesim is exactly what you need if you want your Sims to act like real people when you’re not around. If you’re having issues with simulation lag causing your Sims to do things like sit and stare at walls for hours on end, this mod will take care of it by altering the game speed so that autonomy requests don’t cause any lag. That means no more time slowing down, time going back, or weird empty shell behavior. Plus, no more infamous head bobbing!
