The Sims 4: Height Slider Mod is in the works!
UPDATE: simmythesim was able to create a Mod that makes Teens shorter than Young Adults, Adults and Elders! Here’s the video:
Mod The Sims member simmythesim, who created awesome mods for The Sims 4 such as the Hotel Mod and Cinema Mod is back with another great Mod. Apparently, he created a Height Slider Mod (which is still in the works).
In case you’re wondering how will animations work, here’s what he said about them:
The animations look as great as usual. The only animations that look somewhat bad are the kissing animations (sim kisses forehead) and one of the cooking animations (turner doesn’t reach the food). Eating, chatting, hugging (the ones I also tested on) look fine.

5 Reasons why Nightlife-themed Pack could return to The Sims 4 soon
Please note that the following article is pure speculation / rumor!
The Sims 4 Get to Work Expansion Pack released 4 months ago and some simmers have already found solid evidence what the next Expansion Pack could be all about. Here’s why Nightlife could be the next Expansion/Game Pack for The Sims 4!
1. That leaked Concept Art that we found in November
Senior Designer for The Sims 4 published many of his works he did for the game, including some of the content that, to this day, are still unpublished. One of the object models / concept arts he leaked by accident was the DJ Booth that you can find below.
2. Not-so-mysterious tweet by SimGuruTrev
After putting the puzzle pieces together, simmers on The Sims Forum somehow managed to crack the mysterious tweet by SimGuruTrev that he recently posted.
There’s no confirmation to if the following statement simmers cracked is real, but it sure looks like it is!
I’m really excited to show off the DJ BOOTH!! ######## DANCING in The Sims?! Yup! It pairs well with the DISCO BALLS, too!! – MsPhy
3. DJ Booth code found in Game Files
Elelunicy recently found a code string inside The Sims 4 game files that mentions a DJ Booth.
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?><I c=”GameObject” i=”object” m=”objects.game_object” n=”object_djbooth” s=”14868″><L n=”_super_affordances”/></I>
It’s found in the combined XML tuning files for the base game (objectS4_B61DE6B4_00000000_0000000000003A14.xml).”
4. Even older Concept Art
Back when The Sims 4 was called The Sims Olympus (from 2008 to 2012), producers were exploring with concept arts and flash mock-ups. Patrick Kelly, who worked on interactive UI mock-ups, published his early UI mock-up that contained one of the concepts from the game. We don’t know yet, but The Sims Team might just be putting some of the features and ideas you can see in the concept down below for their next Pack.
5. Base Game Worlds are suspiciously close to City-like backdrops
Am I the only one who thinks these backdrops are actually saying something?!
