With the most recent expansion pack for the Sims 4 nearing almost two weeks since its release, it is no surprise that modders have already taken matters into their own hands to create Sims 4 Adventure Awaits Mods to fix any reported bugs, as well as correct or adjust features many have found annoying or irritating.

Sims 4 Adventure Awaits Mods & Fixes
Often Required Mod: Core Library by Lot 51
While not all of the listed Sims 4 Adventure Awaits mods require The Core Library by Lot 51, it is vital to read their requirements of each individual mod as a good majority of them do, and will not function without it. This mod does not do anything on its own, but lets or modders to create script mods for gameplay without conflicts, allowing for less conflicts and errors.
Bug Fixes
While this is a smaller section compared to the feature adjustments, these are all Sims 4 Adventure Awaits mods intended to fix current bugs and issues that have not yet been corrected by the Sims Team.
Seasons Master Fix [Updated For Adventure Awaits] by LunarBritney
With Seasons being one of the higher rated and often purchased packs for The Sims 4, the fact that many new worlds lack accurate seasonal changes has been a disappointment for many players. LunarBritney has a much larger mod that has been updated to include Gibbi Point, allowing the lush floral areas of the world to accurately change color and appearance based on the active season.
Campfire Stew Pot Fix by Sims4Me
A smaller bug recently noticed is that while many have found the addition of cooking over the campfire to be a welcome feature, many have also run into sims blocking the campfire from being used period by autonomously placing the cooking pot. This mod stops the autonomous action, allowing you to freely direct your sims on how to use their campfire.
Custom Venues Fixes by Marquillo
*Requires Core Library by Lot 51*
While the Sims 4 Adventure Awaits contains many cross-pack compatible features, many players have found certain features missing parts to make them function properly, or at least how they’re intended. This mod fixes quite a few of them, and to name a few…
- Sims can now be assigned to tend the Tattoo Tables from The Sims 4 Businesses & Hobbies, allowing sims assigned the “Get Tattoo” activity to autonomously request services.
- Multiple fixes for bugged activities
- Sims assigned to DJ (Sims 4 Get Together) can now properly perform songs.
- Sims are not able to be assigned to Tend Coffee & Tea Bars and Counters (Sims 4 Get Together, Sims 4 Businesses & Hobbies, Sims 4 High School Years).
- “Don’t” Activities added to restrict sims from engaging in tasks separate from their intended behaviors, which often slows their work speed and leaves different added features unattended.
- Don’t Socialize – Sims will not engage in social behaviors or be targeted for them.
- Don’t Cook – Sims will not autonomously cook food.
- Don’t Do Home Chores – Sims will not autonomously do home chores (Cleaning up dishes, messes, laundry, etc.)
As well as many more features and fixes!
Feature Changes & Adjustments
These mods are generally adjustments and changes to intended features in the game to help with different preferences between players. This section of Sims 4 Adventure Awaits mods can include how often an action occurs, how an object functions, or removal or addition of restrictions to gameplay features.
Custom Schedules Anywhere by Zerbu
Removed the restriction that stopped players from using the “Custom Schedule” feature for any other lot type besides Custom Venues. Requires players to change the lot type to a custom venue, change the custom schedule, and then change it back to the desired lot type. This opens up multitudes of gameplay opportunities to create special schedules for lots found in the base game and other DLC.
It is noted that it does not work for Residential Rental Lots. (Sims 4 For Rent)
Plan Getaways Anywhere by LunarBritney
This simple mod by LunarBritney removes restrictions on what lots Getaways can be hosted on with the new Getaway system, including custom venues added by Basemental’s Universal Venue List!
Run Lectures in Getaways by LunarBritney
When creating the actions for each role in the Sims 4 Adventure Awaits getaway planner, the Sims team seemed to create cross-pack compatibility in allowing the lectures from The Sims 4 Businesses and Hobbies to be attended, but there was no option to host or run lectures in Getaways. LunarBritney adds the ability for sims to host lectures, even down to limiting the feature to certain skills!
Assign Any Sims to Custom Venues by LunarBritney
A current limitation found is that while sims have the ability to have caring for children as an option, toddlers and infants cannot actually be selected for custom venue roles, and neither can pets (Cats, Dogs, Horses). This mod removes the restriction when you are visiting a Custom Venue, allowing you to choose any sims existing within your save.
It is also noted that due to the way The Sims Team created the custom venues system, you must play as a separate household to assign household sims. It is not known at this time whether this is something that Sims 4 Adventure Awaits mods can fix or change.
Mini Free Weights by CBXSims
Our very own Callum (CBXSims) shrunk down the free weights added in the pack because they were mapped large enough that they took up two grid spaces, and also could not be placed on any surfaces and instead were always stuck to the floor. Now, they are shrunk to a more manageable size so you can freely place them wherever you’d like!
Fully Functional Fan by CBXSims
CBXSims aka Callum also added functionality to “The Proto Fan” added in the Sims 4 Adventure Awaits, allowing it to be used in conjunction with Seasons to cool off warm spaces, and therefore cool off warm sims!
Unlocked CAS Parts [Adventure Awaits Update] by Fogity
Unlocked CAS Parts, a mod with many modules by Fogity, allows you to unlock hidden, locked, or just generally unavailable items in CAS so you have more freedom to customize your sims however you would like. These include multiple organizational categories, including Unlockable, Cheatable, Gameplay, Locked, and Lost, as well as items locked to specific occults (Alien, Vampire, Mermaid, Werewolf, Fairy). Per Fogity’s update to the mod, the Plumbird Suit for Pruella the Plumbird is now unlocked under the “Locked” category of the mod, and the Imaginary Friend outfits are now unlocked for children under the “Lost” category of the mod.
Imaginary Friends Stay Longer [3 Versions] by CiwayW
The Imaginary Friends added in the Sims 4 Adventure Awaits has been an exciting reintroduction to the beloved Sims 3 Generations feature for many long-time players. However, when summoned, Imaginary Friends only stay for a measly two hours before returning to Imaginary Land. With this mod by CiwayW, with three options, you can choose for them to stay and play for up to 6, 12, or 24 hours.
*Pick the time option you prefer and only install that file*
Better Playground Mod by CiwayW
Playgrounds have been a nice addition with the modular playground items added in the Sims 4 Adventure Awaits, especially the fact that it is a base game feature. However, with it requiring so many items, it can be difficult for those with the base game or just not Adventure Awaits to actually make playgrounds without repetitively using the same spaceship or pirate ship.
CiwayW has created a mod that changes a few details about how Playgrounds function in The Sims 4! CiwayW increased the amount of items (From every pack!) that are considered “Playground Equipment”. Some examples include puppet theater, toddler jungle gyms, voidcritter battle stations, basketball hoops, and more! They also added autonomous behaviors to these items so sims will naturally seek them out to play.
Another note is that toddler sims that attend a playground often spawn with just a random adult sim, but CiwayW fixed it to where they will spawn with sims that are their actual caregivers, such as parents and grandparents.
Less Imaginary Friend Text Spam by Sims4Me
Since the game alerts you whenever your sims summoned imaginary friend appears, leaves, tells jokes, watches your sim do activities, etc., the notifications (combined with the many other notifications already in the game) can be overwhelming. Sims4Me removed these notifications, decluttering your notification bar for the many other notification the game (and all its DLC!) already provides.
No Competitive Headlines Module by Sims4Me
This is a part added to the “Less Headlines” mod by Sims4Me, which replaces the textures for certain headlines to a transparent texture, making them invisible. This can be helpful for stopping annoying popups appearing in screenshots, or just to help declutter your sims headspace in general. This specific version replaces the textures for the Competitive trait headlines, which appear often as your sim develops a Good or Bad competitive spirit.
REQUIRED: Main Less Headlines Module by Sims4Me
This is the main module required for the previous Less Competitive Headlines mod, which also links to modules for many other packs and gameplay features. This allows you to remove headlines to your hearts content, and keep any that you prefer to see as they appear.
No Visible Competitive Sweat by Sims4Me
Another feature of the Competitive trait is a set of cartoonish sweat droplets that appear when your sim is performing almost any skill, and can often stick around and become an annoyance.
