Sims 4 Mods and Custom Content
While this may take a little time if you are searching for something specific, the world of mods and custom content can really open up the door for creating the ultimate look, for helping tell a story or for general spooky gameplay.
Here are some of the sites that will help when looking for new mods and custom content.
You will find that many creators who use Tumblr will showcase their content there, but for downloads will redirect you to Patreon and/or Sims File Share. Be sure to read the creators fill posts for all the details when it comes to downloading custom content or mods.
Tumblr is also a great resource for custom content, with a number of Tumblr’s dedicated to finding and sharing various different items. It can feel a little overwhelming sometimes, especially if you don’t know where to start.
Here are some prompts that cover some generalized searches for custom content and mods on Tumblr. Of course, if you are looking for something more specific, try combining some of these search terms with what you are looking for.
You’ll also find that many creators will use a variety of tags to help the content be discovered more in searches. Be sure to check these out too!

Social media as we know can be a very good way for sharing your Sims content. Whether you are sharing your spooky creations and gameplay on Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, YouTube or Twitch, you are certainly going to find players from the community on each platform.
