Exploring the Attractiveness Feature

2023 09 19 10 55 42 736 ellanora by ellcrze

The Sims 4 Wonderful Whims’ Attractiveness feature takes The Sims 4 to a whole new level of depth and realism, that’s not commonly seen in the gaming world. This dynamic feature influences everything from your Sim’s social interactions to their emotional well-being, all based on individual tastes and preferences!

What is the Wonderful Whims Attractiveness Feature?

In Sims 4 Wonderful Whims, attractiveness isn’t a one-size-fits-all concept; rather, it’s an ever-changing equation dependent on multiple factors, from clothing and hair to eye color and body shape. This feature acknowledges that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, allowing for a rich, diverse array of preferences that make every Sim unique. It’s like a more advanced version of the Sims 2 Turn on and off feature, stirring those feelings of nostalgia, but also adding more realism to the game!

The Mechanics of Attraction

2023 09 19 11 00 00 535 ellanora by ellcrze

So what are the mechanics of Attractiveness in the Wonderful Whims Sims 4 mod? Well, the “Refined Taste” feature considers every element of your Sim’s appearance, right down to the custom content. Whether your Sim fancies long hair, has a love for the color green, or has a distaste for glasses, these preferences will play a crucial role in finding the Sim of their dreams. Additionally, these preferences can be adjusted as your Sims’ personalities change, as well as the situations they’re in.

What Makes a Sim Unique?

In a world populated by different Sims, what stands out has value, and the Wonderful Whims Sims 4 mod gives “stand out” a new meaning! Basically, if every Sim has long, beautiful hair, then it’s the bald Sims that will turn heads. The ‘Unique Appearance’ Reward Trait adds another layer to this, boosting the attractiveness value of unique features. Yes, it really does go that deep! This not only adds a huge realistic boost to the game but also much more consideration when creating a Sim!

Storytelling: The Emotional Component

Attractiveness also has a narrative function in the Sims 4 Wonderful Whims. When your Sim crosses paths with someone extraordinarily attractive, it isn’t just a short-lived moment. Those moments will now become very special encounters, that can infatuate Sims to a point where they even dream about each other! But not just that, these infatuations will also influence all your future Sims’ interactions.

Who’s the Perfect Partner? No More Guessing!

2023 09 19 10 56 29 369 ellanora by ellcrze

Don’t know how to attract the Sim of your dreams? Not sure if they like you? Well, in the Wonderful Whims Sims 4 mod, you can just ask directly! Now your Sims can ask each other about their preferences, or take a more subtle route by finding out through their friends. However, if you wish to disable this cool feature, the mod offers various switches including the ‘Sims Attractiveness Switch,’ the ‘Attractiveness Relationship Scoring Switch,’ and the ‘Attractiveness Storytelling Switch’ to customize your gameplay!

Impressions: What’s Beyond the Surface?

Personalities play an integral role in real-world relationships and the Wonderful Whims Sims 4 mod seeks to replicate that complexity in your Sims’ interactions. Gone are the days when a simple gesture or attractive trait was enough to build a meaningful relationship. Now, the mod introduces different personality archetypes and social interactions that make a rich, deeply satisfying gameplay experience!

Personality Archetypes: More than Labels!

2023 09 19 10 53 44 573 ellanora by ellcrze

When creating a Sim in Sims 4 Wonderful Whims, you’ll notice they are assigned one or two Personality Archetypes. These are not simple labels, but rather glimpses that give an insight into your Sim’s inner world. Whether your Sim is a Sage, Artist, Hero, Caregiver, Jester, Innocent, Lover, Sinister, or an Everyman, their archetype influences how they interact with others and what they seek in relationships.

The Struggles of Compatibility

Two Sims with matching or complementary archetypes will find it easier to build chemistry. However, this is not a hard-and-fast rule. Even Sims with differing archetypes can establish strong relationships; it might just take a bit more effort. This creates an intricate web of interactions that enhances storytelling and gameplay, making each interaction a step towards discovering compatibility or conflict.

Social Interactions: The Key to Depth

2023 09 19 11 13 33 057 ellanora by ellcrze

In the Wonderful Whims Sims 4 world, learning the personality of a Sim unlocks new avenues for interactions. Each Personality Archetype comes with unique conversational topics and social interactions. Want to impress a Sage? Engage them in a discussion on philosophy or the meaning of life. Want to connect with a Jester? Maybe a joke or a funny story will do the trick. The list is endless, but what’s important is that now your Sims actually have meaning in their interactions.

The Art of Making an Impression

Building a relationship isn’t just about immediate chemistry; it’s also about lasting impressions. The more you understand and engage with a Sim’s personality, the better your impression will be, which is essential in forming a solid foundation for a deeper relationship. This is especially beneficial for those who don’t want to leave their Sims’ love lives to chance but want to build it based on mutual understanding and respect, as you would in the real world.

Dynamic Personalities: A Lifetime Journey!

While personalities in the Wonderful Whims Sims 4 mod are generally consistent, they’re not static. Your Sim can change over time, or rarely, depending on the traits they acquire or lose. This adds another layer of dynamics to the gameplay, allowing for evolving relationships and personalities that can keep players engaged for hours on end!

Personality ArchetypeCharacteristics and ChallengesLikely Traits for Becoming This Archetype

Menstrual Cycle in the Sims 4 Wonderful Whims

2023 09 19 12 04 06 895 ellanora by ellcrze

The addition of Menstrual Cycles to the Wonderful Whims Sims 4 mod brings a level of biological realism to the Sims universe that many have wanted for a while now. This feature is not just about adding more layers of complexity; it offers opportunities for deeper emotional connection, improved family planning, and more strategic gameplay. Here’s how this groundbreaking feature works in making the Wonderful Whims Sims 4 mod stand out!

Biological Accuracy: More than Just Numbers

When your Sim is capable of giving birth, they will now experience a Menstrual Cycle divided into four distinct phases: Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), the Period, Fertile Windows, and the Luteal Phase. Each segment has been designed to mimic the hormonal and physiological changes that occur in real life, impacting your Sim’s mood and daily activities. I mean, just wow! This system allows for more accurate and strategic family planning, as well as a better understanding of your Sim’s body.

Emotional Depth: Moodlets and More!

2023 09 19 11 21 09 991 ellanora by ellcrze

The Menstrual Cycle introduces various hormonal moodlets, including everything from nausea and irritability to heightened emotions. These moodlets make for a richer storytelling element and contribute to the gameplay in ways that are more than just enough. Whether your Sim is on their period or going through PMS, the hormonal moodlets provide an opportunity for other Sims to empathize, comfort, or sometimes even clash, depending on their own moods and traits of course.

Tech-Savvy Period Tracking

2023 09 19 11 15 49 734 ellanora by ellcrze

For those who enjoy micro-management, the mod introduces the Kaya Period Tracker app for your Sims’ phones. It gives you a day-by-day breakdown of the Menstrual Cycle, helping you prepare for or capitalize on different phases. It’s like having a fertility expert right in your Sim’s pocket! However, if you don’t want to engage with the Menstrual Cycle feature, this mod offers plenty of customization options! From disabling the Menstrual Cycle altogether to adjusting the fertility rates and menstrual symptoms, you can fine-tune your gameplay to your preferences.

Family Planning: Taking Control

The Menstrual Cycle doesn’t only introduce challenges; it also allows for greater control over your Sim’s reproductive life. During the Fertile Windows, your Sim has a higher chance of conceiving, which you can either embrace or actively avoid by using contraceptives like condoms or birth control pills, but more on that later. This definitely adds a new layer of strategic depth to the game, whether you’re trying to grow your Sim family or focus on their career for the time being.

Birth Control: A Matter of Choice or Chance

When it comes to WooHoo, the stakes are higher than having just a romantic rendezvous, especially when the Sims 4 Wonderful Whims mod is in play! With the introduction of menstrual cycles and fertility windows, family planning takes on a new level of detail and significance. Let’s dive into the details of birth control in the Sims 4 Wonderful Whims!

Calculated Risks: Fertility Awareness

2023 09 19 11 40 13 607 ellanora by ellcrze

Understanding fertility levels can be key to family planning in the Sims 4 Wonderful Whims. Sims can only conceive during their Fertile Windows, which can be determined by taking a ‘Fertility Awareness Test’ at any toilet. Beyond this, options such as Fertility Treatments, fertility massages, and even a special Fertility trait from the Rewards Store can help to increase the odds. Taking a pregnancy test by clicking on a toilet will confirm if conception has occurred.

In line with promoting shared responsibility, the fertility levels of both partners—usually the impregnating Sim and the Sim capable of giving birth—matter in conception. Both parties can utilize various methods to either increase or decrease fertility, making family planning a collaborative effort.

The Mechanics of Birth Control

Wonderful Whims acknowledges that birth control is a shared responsibility. Sims can use condoms during WooHoo, which are generally effective but not foolproof. For added security, you can have a Sim take birth control pills, which become effective after 3 days of consistent use. Combine both, and you significantly reduce the chances of an unplanned Sim pregnancy.

Contraceptive options can be purchased easily through any computer under the ‘Wonderful’ category or via the Build/Buy mode. The mod ensures that family planning resources are readily available for all Sims!

Embrace Modern Love Dynamics with Relationship Additions!

The Wonderful Whims Sims 4 mod takes relationships to a whole new level of complexity and flexibility, reflecting today’s ways some people connect in the world. Whether you are a fan of open relationships, or polyamory, or simply want to navigate jealousy and commitments in a different way, this mod has you covered. Let’s explore some of these groundbreaking relationship features the Sims 4 Wonderful Whims bring!

Open Relationships: Love Without Boundaries

Traditional Sims relationships can sometimes feel limited in scope. The Wonderful Whims Sims 4 mod introduces the ‘Open Relationships’ function, allowing Sims to maintain multiple romantic partners, whether casual or committed, without the need for sneaking around. This feature unlocks a fresh array of storytelling possibilities and relational dynamics, offering an authentic representation of various forms of modern love.

Polyamorous Attribute: Jealousy-Free Zone

2023 09 19 12 32 28 940 ellanora by ellcrze

Jealousy can be a destructive force in relationships, but it doesn’t have to be. With the ‘Polyamorous’ Wonderful Attribute, you can disable jealousy for individual Sims, enabling them to engage in multiple relationships simultaneously without the emotional pitfalls. This gives players greater control over how their Sims interact emotionally, creating room for more free and enlightened relationships.

Stay the Night: A Group Invite

Gone are the days of limiting your overnight guests to just one Sim. With Wonderful Whims, you have the ability to invite multiple Sims to ‘Stay the Night,’ making for a more social and dynamic living situation. Whether it’s a group of friends, multiple romantic partners, or a mix of both, your Sims’ homes can now be the central hub for all kinds of social interactions!

But it doesn’t end there! If you want even more relationship complexities, a great addition is the Complex Marriage Mod for the Sims 4!

Pregnancy Additions Tailored for Expecting Sims

The Wonderful Whims Sims 4 mod doesn’t just stop at enhancing relationships and personalities; it also dives into the world of Sims pregnancy, offering a more immersive and customizable experience for your expecting Sims. Whether you want to modify the pregnancy duration, have a more nuanced emotional reaction to pregnancy tests, or experience the authentic detail of a water-breaking moment, the Sims 4 Wonderful Whims has it all!

Modifying Pregnancy Duration: Your Timeline, Your Choice

2023 09 19 11 12 35 688 ellanora by ellcrze

In the base game, pregnancy timelines are a fixed experience. With the Sims 4 Wonderful Whims mod, you now have the ability to modify the entire pregnancy duration, giving you the freedom to align it with your storytelling or gameplay objectives. Whether you want a quick pregnancy to speed up generational progression or a longer term to fully enjoy the pregnancy journey, you now have complete control!

Pregnancy Tests: Not Just Black and White

In traditional Sims 4 gameplay, taking a pregnancy test often results in an automatically negative or positive moodlet. The Wonderful Whims Sims 4 mod adds a layer of emotional realness by tying the moodlet to a Sim’s traits. For example, Sims with the ‘Family Oriented’ trait will be the only ones to receive a negative moodlet if the test comes back negative, offering a more accurate emotional response based on individual preferences.

When the Water Breaks: It’s All in the Details!

Detailing makes a world of difference in the simulation experience, and Wonderful Whims nails it by including the moment when a Sim’s water breaks. Instead of just a notification or a sudden trip to the hospital, your pregnant Sim will actually leave a puddle when their water breaks, adding an authentic touch to the journey of childbirth. It’s small details like these that make Sims 4 Wonderful Whims a must-have for anyone looking to deepen their Sims 4 experience.

Sweating in the Wonderful Whims Sims 4 Mod

2023 09 19 13 12 38 781 ellanora by ellcrze

Physical actions have consequences, and in the real world, one of those is unfortunately sweating. The Wonderful Whims Sims 4 mod captures this often-overlooked aspect of life, adding another layer of realism to your Sims’ daily activities. Whether your Sims are hitting the gym, working outdoors, or simply engaging in regular tasks, the visible sweat feature offers an engaging detail that enhances the gameplay experience even further!

Visible Sweat: The Mark of Effort

Sims in the Wonderful Whims mod don’t just go through the motions; they visibly sweat when performing vigorous activities. This isn’t just a superficial addition but a realistic touch that can affect various aspects of their lives. For example, sweating can have social implications—other Sims might react differently to a sweaty Sim, perhaps complimenting their hard work or finding them less attractive.

Clean Up Your Act: Refresh with a Bath or Shower

Life doesn’t stop when your Sims break a sweat, and neither should their hygiene! The Sims 4 Wonderful Whims recognizes this by giving you the option to wash off the sweat by taking a bath or shower. Not only does this improve their hygiene stat, but it also adds another layer of realism and consequence to your Sims’ actions. For instance, after a hard workout, a shower isn’t just recommended—it’s almost a necessity!

No Sweat, No Problem: A Special Reward Trait

If managing sweat doesn’t fit into your ideal Sims experience, the mod has you covered. You can acquire a special ‘No Sweat’ trait from the satisfaction Reward Store. Once your Sim has this trait, they can engage in as many vigorous activities as they like without breaking a sweat, literally. This can be particularly useful for Sims who engage in physical activities as part of their career or hobby but don’t want the added hassle of constant showering.

Wonderful Attributes: Customize Personalities Like Never Before!

Traits are the building blocks of a Sim’s personality, but what if you could fine-tune those traits without the constraints of CAS or the Reward Store? The Wonderful Whims Sims 4 mod introduces the concept of “Wonderful Attributes,” offering you an array of minor traits that can be added or removed freely. This feature drastically expands the customization possibilities, allowing you to create Sims that are as complex and unique as real people.

Flexibility Without Constraints

2023 09 19 10 53 29 653 ellanora by ellcrze

Unlike the rigid structure of CAS or the Reward Store, Wonderful Attributes allows you to give or take away minor traits on the fly. Say goodbye to limited choices and embrace the freedom to continuously shape and reshape your Sims’ personalities as they go through life’s ups and downs!

Tailored Romantic Experiences

For Sims that are married or in a committed relationship, the ‘Eternally Faithful’ trait is a game-changer. This attribute ensures that your Sim will only have romantic interactions with their True Love, eliminating the chances of infidelity and adding a layer of realism to Sims who are genuinely committed.

Socially Avoidant: For the Introverted Sim

Not every Sim is a social butterfly. With the ‘Socially Avoidant’ trait, you can create Sims who prefer solitude over social interactions. These Sims won’t initiate conversations and will only engage when absolutely necessary, offering a realistic portrayal of introverted or socially anxious individuals.

Navigate the Teen Years with ‘Post-Puberty’

2023 09 19 12 33 18 263 ellanora by ellcrze

Teenage years can be tumultuous, but what if your Sim has already navigated the waters of puberty and come out the other side? The ‘Post-Puberty’ trait ensures that your teen Sim no longer experiences the fluctuating emotions and social awkwardness associated with puberty.

Control Fertility with ‘Hypofertile’ and ‘Hyperfertile’

The mod offers two attributes to control the fertility levels of your Sims: ‘Hypofertile’ and ‘Hyperfertile.’ These traits allow you to adjust the likelihood of conceiving a child, adding another layer of realism to family planning.

Master the Menstrual Cycle

Dealing with a menstrual cycle is a part of many women’s lives, and Wonderful Attributes provides three options for controlling this experience: ‘Quick Cycle,’ ‘Extended Cycle,’ and ‘Bleeding Control.’ Each of these traits alters the duration and effects of the menstrual cycle, offering greater control over this aspect of Sim life.

Crab Lice: A Not-So-Wonderful Reality of Sim Life

The Wonderful Whims Sims 4 mod isn’t just about romantic dates, meaningful relationships, and charming personalities; it also tackles the less pleasant, but realistic aspects of life. One such addition is the presence of Crab Lice, parasitic insects that cause intense itching and can be contracted through various means. Here’s what you need to know about dealing with this pesky issue.

How Do Sims Get Crab Lice?

2023 09 19 11 53 04 264 ellanora by ellcrze

In the Wonderful Whims Sims 4 mod, Crab Lice are typically contracted through WooHoo with infected Sims or by sleeping in the beds of other non-household Sims. By default, about 18% of the mostly single, adult Sim population could be potential carriers of Crab Lice. It adds an extra layer of realism and caution when your Sims engage in intimate activities or even just crash at a friend’s house.

Symptoms and Diagnosis

After a Sim comes into contact with Crab Lice, it takes about 12 hours for symptoms to manifest. The initial signs may just be a random itch, but it could develop into an unbearable itch that won’t go away unless properly treated. While you can ask any Sim about their health—assuming they trust you enough—it’s essential to take immediate action if your Sim contracts Crab Lice.

Treatment Options

2023 09 19 11 54 31 049 ellanora by ellcrze

Lice Killing Shampoo is the go-to medication for this issue, available for purchase from the Wonderful Store via any computer or through Build/Buy mode. To use it, simply apply the shampoo from your Sim’s inventory while they are in the shower or bath. The effects are instantaneous and provide a day’s worth of protection against reinfestation.

Permanent Immunity

If you’d rather not deal with the risk of Crab Lice altogether, you have the option to purchase the ‘Crabs Immune’ trait from the Rewards Store. This ensures that your Sim will never contract Crab Lice, allowing you to engage in relationships and social scenarios without this particular worry.

Other Enhancements: The Details That Make a Difference!

While the Wonderful Whims Sims 4 mod is primarily known for its deep personality archetypes, complex relationship dynamics, and realistic life scenarios, it also offers a range of other enhancements that fine-tune your gameplay experience even further. From persistent boredom to game bug fixes, these additions might seem minor but they add layers of realism and functionality that you’ll surely appreciate!

Persistent Boredom

Gone are the days when you could talk about the same topic endlessly without your Sims getting bored. Now, Sims will remember their conversations for up to 8 hours. Should you dare to rehash the same topics within that time frame, be prepared for a boring reaction! This feature adds a challenge to maintaining engaging conversations and encourages players to diversify topics when interacting with Sims.

Pregnancy Scientific Donation

Taking realism to a new level, the mod allows Sims to donate their unborn baby to science during the first or second trimester. Accessible via the phone, this option adds moral and ethical dimensions to the gameplay, giving players more choices in how they navigate the complexities of Sim life.

Posing and Animations

Sims 4 Wonderful Whims

For those who love taking snapshots or storytelling through images, the mod introduces a dynamic posing interface. This allows you to use Pose Player poses and animations with ease, providing adjustable positioning and rotation options to get the perfect shot.

Poses make a great addition to the game, and we covered a lot of them! Check out our Custom Poses Archives to find every pose you need!

WooHoo Enhancements

To add a layer of realism to romantic interactions, the mod offers the ability to enable pregnancy for all WooHoo interactions, effectively merging the ‘Try for Baby’ option with regular WooHoo interactions. This increases the stakes in your Sims’ love lives and brings added complexity to romantic scenarios.

Compatibility and Bug Fixes

The Wonderful Whims mod supports integration with the Sims 4 Multiplayer Mod, so you can enjoy these enhanced features with friends. In addition, the mod includes minor game bug fixes related to clothing, ASM states errors, missing proximity buff errors, and incorrect mixer death reactions.

Sims 4 Wonderful Whims vs Wicked

When it comes to mods like Wicked Whims and Wonderful Whims Sims 4, the difference often boils down to the level of graphic content. While Wicked Whims leans into a more adult-oriented gameplay, Wonderful Whims offers similar depth and complexity without the explicit content. Think of Wonderful Whims as the PG-rated cousin that still knows how to have a good time!

Can you have Wonderful Whims without Wicked Whims?

Absolutely, yes! Wonderful Whims operates independently of Wicked Whims. So if you’re looking for a more family-friendly mod that still adds a wealth of features and complexity to your game, Wonderful Whims is the way to go!

The Sims 4 Eco Footprint Guide: Easily Impact Evergreen Harbor

Learn how to improve each neighbourhood in Evergreen Harbor!

Sims 4 Eco Footprint
Improve Evergreen Harbor through NAPs and living a green lifestyle

In The Sims 4 Eco Lifestyle, the overall “goal” is to improve the polluted industrial town of Evergreen Harbor to become a green community. This Sims 4 eco footprint guide will show you exactly how to do that. There are numerous ways to go about doing this but the two main ways are through Neighbourhood Action Plans (NAPs for short) and your Sims 4 Eco Footprint. We’ll be showing you how to improve every neighbourhood in Evergreen Harbor in The Sims 4!

The Sims 4 Eco Footprint Guide: Make a Positive Impact!

Eco Footprint vs. Development: What’s the Difference?

Sims 4 Evergreen Harbor
A Sim in a great mood from breathing clean air in a Green neighbourhood.

In short, each neighbourhood in Evergreen Harbour has a development state and an eco footprint state. They are two separate states. For example, your neighbourhood could have a green eco footprint but no development or vice versa.

Your neighbourhood’s Sims 4 eco footprint refers to how clean the neighbourhood is. It’s shaped by the way you live your daily life in that neighborhood. However, there is an NAP that will boost the Eco Footprint of each neighbourhood as well as improve development.

Your neighbourhood’s development status refers to the visual look of the neighburhood. The condition of the roads, buildings, and other structures in the area. This is solely shaped through NAPs. You cannot improve your neighbourhood’s development by simply living a green lifestyle.

Below are examples of each neighbourhood in varying states:

Eco Footprint States

All worlds that have a Sims 4 Eco Footprint have the same three visual effects as pictured above to indicate its current state.

Development States

Each neighbourhood can have any combination of Sims 4 Eco Footprint state and Development state at the same time. You can opt to improve both, one, or neither.

Influencing the Eco Footprint in The Sims 4’s Evergreen Harbor

Each neighbourhood has its own Sims 4 Eco Footprint. This is not unique to Evergreen Harbor. All worlds (except StrangerVille, hidden worlds, and destination worlds) have an Eco Footprint that can be shaped by daily actions. All Sims living in that neighbourhood contribute to its eco footprint, so it’s not all up to your Sim; it’s a community effort.

Every neighbourhood has an Industrial, Neutral, or Green Eco Footprint. You can see where your neighbourhood’s Eco Footprint is at by hovering over this symbol at the bottom of your screen in Live Mode to bring up the gauge. In Manage Worlds, you can visually see each neighbourhood’s Sims 4 eco footprint. Industrial neighbourhoods will have a brown pollution visual effect over them. Green neighbourhoods will have a sparkly sun ray visual effect. Neutral neighbourhoods will not have any visual effects. You can also see more information on the eco footprint by clicking the Eco Footprint icon at the top of the screen.

Ways to Improve Eco Footprint in The Sims 4’s Evergreen Harbor

There are multiple ways to clean up an industrial neighbourhood and move the Sims 4 eco footprint towards being green.

  • Enact the Green Initiatives NAP for your neighbourhood.
  • Use Green building materials and objects when designing your house.
  • Plant a large garden and landscape your yard with plenty of trees and foliage.
  • Use dew collectors to collect rainwater instead of using town water.
  • Use solar panels and wind turbines to generate green energy for your home.
  • Power generators with bio fuel harvested from insect farms.
  • Give eco-upgrades to your household plumbing and appliances to make them use less water/power or take them completely off the grid.
  • Vote on the local community space project and turn it into a community garden.
  • Avoid using objects with industrial footprints, such as fireplaces and generators that use gas instead of bio fuel.

If you are doing all of the above things in The Sims 4’s Evergreen Harbor and your neighbourhood’s Sims 4 Eco Footprint will not move to Green status, try going into your neighbour’s homes and making some of these changes there as well. It’s likely that your neighbours are not living a green lifestyle which is impacting your Sims 4 Eco Footprint.

There are benefits to having a green Sims 4 eco footprint. You will see the same sun ray effect in the world that you see on the map. Your Sims will also get powerful happy moodlets from living in a neighbourhood with clean air.

Sims who live in industrial neighbourhoods will have coughing spasms and uncomfortable moodlets from the pollution in the air. Industrial neighbourhoods will also have brown smog and hazy skies.

Influencing Neighbourhood Development in The Sims 4’s Evergreen Harbor

Sims 4 Eco Footprint
Modern Development NAP

Each neighbourhood has its own development state. This is unique to Evergreen Harbor. No other worlds have alternate states of development. Development is solely influenced by NAPs. You can live as green as you want but you won’t see any changes to the local infrastructure unless you enact the right NAPs. This means you will have to work together with your neighbours to vote in the NAPs you want each week.

Development NAPs in Evergreen Harbor

There are two main NAPs for each neighbourhood that cause visible changes to the surrounding infrastructure.

  • Green Initiatives in [Neighbourhood] – Each neighbourhood has its own version of this NAP. Enacting this NAP will update the visual look of the neighbourhood with more greenery. This neighbourhood slightly increases the bills for all Sims in that neighbourhood but it comes with the additional benefit of boosting your Eco Footprint, too. This NAP can be active at the same time as the Modern Development NAP.
  • Modern Development in [Neighbourhood] – This NAP will update and modernize the local infrastructure. You can expect many changes depending on what neighbourhood you’re in. Roads, buildings, walkways, and more will all get appealing face lifts. This NAP will significantly increase the bills for all Sims in that neighbourhood but your Sims will also earn more money in their careers to offset the cost. This NAP can be active at the same time as the Green Initiatives NAP.

When one of the above NAPs is enacted in The Sims 4’s Evergreen Harbor, changes are not immediate. Every few days, you will see something in the neighbourhood change. After approximately one in-game week, the neighbourhood should be fully developed. Developing the neighbourhoods is a gradual process but very rewarding when you see your Sims make a visible difference in their hometown.


You can really customize the look of your neighbourhoods in Evergreen Harbor by using the development NAPs and green initiatives together!

Sims 4 Lore: The Secret Identity of Johnny Zest

0

The man, the mystery, the… secret love child?!

Sims 4 Lore

With a new Behind The Sims episode comes new Sims 4 lore! We’ve gotten shocking details about some fan favourite premade Sims in past Smore Lore segments on Behind The Sims. Like how Katrina Caliente is a clone of Nighat Caliente using alien technology! The latest Smore Lore segment focused on the true identity of none other than Johnny Zest and his mysterious family connection to the power-hungry Landgraab family!

Read on to dive deep into the mystery of Johnny Zest and uncover secrets about his true parentage!

The Sims 4 Lore: Johnny Zest’s Secret Identity

To understand Johnny’s connection to the Landgraabs, we first need to take a brief look at the Landgraab family history, which, if you can believe it, spans even before the time of the original Sims! How is that possible? Well, let us explain.

A History of the Landgraab Family

Behind The Sims A FIRST LOOK STUFF PACKS THE LATEST ON PROJECT RENE 5 49 screenshot

The Landgraab family tree can be traced back as far as medieval times! The wealthy guildsman, Demetrius and his son, Dacian Landegraab from The Sims Medieval are the first known members of the modern day Landgraab family.

We see the Landgraabs again in The Sims 1 and every incarnation of The Sims since, whether as actual Sims in the game or through being mentioned. For example, a lot of companies and buildings in earlier Sims games have the Landgraab name on them.

Sims 4 Lore

As their name might suggest, the Landgraabs built their massive fortune by grabbing up land. They have an impressive real estate portfolio that includes giant corporations, rental properties, and other valuable land assets. They have lived in huge mansions in every Sims game they’ve been a part of and they have always been filthy rich.

So where did Johnny come from and why is he broke and living in a run-down trailer at the edge of Oasis Springs?

Johnny’s Mysterious Roots

Behind The Sims A FIRST LOOK STUFF PACKS THE LATEST ON PROJECT RENE 5 22 screenshot

Although it’s been common knowledge that Nancy and Geoffrey Landgraab have a son named Malcolm for years now, Johnny kind of just popped up out of nowhere in The Sims 4. We’ve never seen him mentioned at all in any game prior to The Sims 4.

However, his bio clearly states that he is a disowned Landgraab who was kicked out of the family for dropping out of school to pursue a career in stand-up comedy. If he was disowned, that would explain why his family tree is empty; the Landgraabs don’t show up anywhere in Johnny’s lineage. As for how and why he suddenly exists in The Sims 4 when he didn’t before? Well, The Sims 4 doesn’t follow the chronological events of past Sims games. It’s on its own timeline and is widely considered to be an alternate universe. Bearing this in mind, new faces like Johnny could exist in this alternate universe.

Sims 4 Lore

We also know that Johnny Zest is his stage name, so it’s perfectly plausible that his real name is Landgraab. And since the Landgraabs are not known for shortening names, it’s likely that Johnny Zest real name in full is Johnathon Landgraab.

But how exactly is Johnny related to the Landgraabs? Is he a long-lost son? A distant cousin? A weird uncle? No one really knows and that’s where The Sims 4 lore segment from Behind The Sims comes into play.

A Secret Love Child?!

Behind The Sims A FIRST LOOK STUFF PACKS THE LATEST ON PROJECT RENE 6 34 screenshot

Mersea suggested during the latest Smore Lore segment that Johnny Zest is the result of an affair between Nancy and some unknown partner outside of her marriage to Geoffrey. She also suggested that Geoffrey does not know of Johnny’s existence.

However, we have a hard time swallowing this information as fact. Unlike the cloning explanation for Katrina Caliente, which makes more and more sense the longer you think about it, the theory that Johnny Zest is the product of a secret affair has more and more holes the longer you contemplate that possibility.

For one thing, we know for certain that Johnny was only thrown out of the family recently, as a young adult. He quit college to become a comedian and that’s what got him disowned. It’s very unlikely that Geoffrey would not know about Johnny. Even if Geoffrey isn’t Johnny’s biological father, it’s far more likely that he either believes he is or decided to raise him as his own anyway. Either way, Johnny would have grown up as a Landgraab, making it almost impossible for Geoffrey to not know about him.

And while we can’t completely discount the idea that Johnny’s father is someone other than Geoffrey, Johnny looks almost identical to Malcolm, whose parents are confirmed to be Nancy and Geoffrey. It’s not impossible for half-siblings to look as similar as Malcolm and Johnny, but it is a lot more uncommon.

So Who is Johnny Zest?

So what does all this mean? Who is Johnny Zest, really?

Well, taking into account the confirmed history and timeline we have for Johnny, his uncanny resemblance to Malcolm Landgraab, and the Smore Lore segment pretty much confirming without a doubt that Johnny is Nancy’s son, it’s pretty safe to say Johnny is confirmed to be Malcolm’s older brother and that his birth name is probably Johnathon Landgraab.

As for Johnny being the result of an extramarital affair? Well, we suppose that’s still technically up for debate. Although, if you ask us, we’re pretty confident in stating that Geoffrey is probably Johnny’s father. It just makes the most sense when you think about Johnny’s history and how closely he resembles his younger brother.

  4. Enable Mods: In the Sims 4 game options under the “Other” tab, make sure to enable Custom Content and Mods and Script Mods (if applicable).
  5. Restart Game: It’s generally good practice to restart the game after installing new mods or CC.

PRO TIP: If you’re unable to locate the Mods folder, a quick workaround is to create one yourself!

Is Alpha CC Better Than Maxis Match?

The answer isn’t cut and dry—it’s a matter of personal taste. If you’re vibing with the game’s original aesthetic, Maxis Match CC is your jam. It keeps everything in line with the game’s core design. But if you’re all about those high-definition details, then Sims 4 Alpha CC is where your heart might be. Both styles have their good and bad stuff, but ultimately, you’re the one making the choice.

For a balanced view, don’t miss our comprehensive Sims 4 Maxis Match CC Guide —it’ll help you navigate your choices like a pro!

So, what’s it gonna be? Team Maxis Match or Team Alpha CC? We’re eager to hear your take, so drop your thoughts in the comments below!

Project Rene: Maxis Shares Early Plans for Sims 5 Content Releases

0

EA has revealed their content strategy for Project Rene.

The Sims 5 Prototype Scene
Prototype Scene in Project Rene

Exciting things are happening in the world of The Sims lately! Namely, Project Rene, which we are calling The Sims 5 until Project Rene gets an official title. An interview with Mersea and Lyndsay Pearson from the latest Behind The Sims episode went over a lot of exciting details about the next generation Sims game, including an early plan for how future content releases for The Sims 5 will be handled.

Behind The Sims Transcript

We have the full transcript of that interview right here, so you can read exactly what was said word-for-word yourself. Lyndsay shared a lot of very big news about the upcoming Sims game and assured avid lovers of The Sims 4 that Project Rene is not planned to be a replacement for The Sims 4. The two games will co-exist side-by-side and both will receive regular content alongside each other for the foreseeable future.

Also, did we mention the next Sims game will be free to download?! This may not be too surprising, given that The Sims 4 base game is now free to play; however, this information does mark a pretty big shift in the way Maxis and EA are planning to market and sell future releases.

MERSEA: Okay, I’m super excited to have The Sims™ Queen Mother herself, Lyndsay Pearson, back today to chat with me about Project Rene and the future of The Sims™. Sul Sul, Lyndsay.

LYNDSAY: Hey, Mersea. I am very excited to be here today. And Sul Sul to our community. I am thrilled to be back and sharing what we are working on. I think it’s a really good time to be playing The Sims™.

MERSEA: 100%. Maybe it’s just the way I play, but my game really hits different each time. Can you tell us more about how your experience over the years is shaping and setting the stage for Project Rene?

LYNDSAY: Yeah, over the years, you’ve seen us introduce so many versions of Sims experiences, from The Sims™ to The Sims™ Online, The Sims™ Castaway, The Sims™ Medieval, Urbz. We’re always looking for ways to bring The Sims™ to more players and keep that charming character and creation center at the heart of what we make. What must we preserve to make this still a Sims game. And what can we do in this game that we couldn’t do before.

MERSEA: Right. During the last episode of Behind The Sims™, the team shared a look at a whole lot of work in progress with Project Rene. Is that how you’re trying to find that new vibe?

LYNDSAY: Exactly. And with Project Rene, we want to do things from the start that The Sims™ hasn’t ever done and try to do familiar things in a new way. Project Rene will be a new way to play The Sims™. Now, we’ve shared a few of those differences that we’re already exploring, such as the ability to play with friends and across devices, and we can’t wait to show you more of the gameplay itself. And I’m really excited to be building this new and different approach.

Project Rene and The Sims™ 4 are going to continue to exist side by side. We plan to support both at the same time, and we’re going to continue to bring even more exciting content to The Sims™ 4 for the foreseeable future.

MERSEA: Don’t get me wrong. I’m super invested in my Sims 4 storylines, but thinking about the different opportunities we’ve seen in like The Sims™ Castaway and Urbz which, by the way, one of my absolute favorites, it just makes me excited to think about how I’ll pop into Project Rene to play with friends.

LYNDSAY: We want to make it super easy for your friends to come and join you. We’ll actually have more to share about what multiplayer will look like in Project Rene in the year ahead, but I want to talk about one way specifically that we’re going to make it as easy as possible to join.

We intend for Project Rene to be free to download, and that means that when it’s ready and fully open to our players, you’ll be able to join and play and explore Project Rene without a subscription, without core game purchase or energy mechanics. We want it to be easy for you to invite or join with a friend, and that means extending an open invitation for everyone to play.

MERSEA: Really? Bombastic side eye?

LYNDSAY: We’re developing this game in a different way, and we’re bringing everyone along with us, and that means a lot of different phases of development, which can include everything from closed invites and small public tests to large-scale early access options. And yes, when Project Rene is ready, it’ll be available to download for free.

MERSEA: What does that mean for content in the game, like updates?

LYNDSAY: We want to focus on building something strong and cohesive from the start. It definitely won’t start with everything you have in The Sims™ 4, but we’re going to add new experiences and content to Project Rene over time.

MERSEA: Okay, so what might that look like? We talking DLC, packs?

LYNDSAY: Well, beyond regular updates to the core game, we will sell content and packs, but we want to change that mix a little bit. Let me give you a theoretical example. In The Sims™ 4, the only way to experience any weather was if you purchased Seasons. Now, in Project Rene, we might introduce basic weather to the core game for free for everybody. And then a pack for purchase might be focused on winter sports and could include activities like ice dancing or a snowman-building competition.

Building this way means that down the line, we could use wind or rain or clouds for other pack themes as well. Now, it’s a little early to know exactly where we’ll draw the lines, but it’s important for us to lower those barriers to play and give everyone the broadest shared systems because that feels like the best foundation to grow from.

MERSEA: That’s really interesting. I will definitely need to think about this some more and I’ll need to review this all again on The Sims™ Newsroom. Shout out to that team for the recap.

LYNDSAY: As we shared last time, we’re still exploring a lot of different ideas and we haven’t settled on all the details of everything, but it’s important for us to keep sharing. Stay tuned for more updates as we go. But for now, how about a quick summary? Project Rene and other Sims games, including The Sims™ 4, will coexist for the foreseeable future. It means Project Rene is not setting out to replace your current awesome Sims experiences. And because we want everyone to join The Sims™ party when it’s ready, Project Rene will be free to download.

MERSEA: Thank you so much for your time, Queen Mother. I can’t wait to keep learning more about Project Rene, so know that you are always welcomed on our couch.

LYNDSAY: Thank you, Mersea. Pleasure to be here.

Behind The Sims, Episode 3

Current Official Game Description of Project Rene

Project Rene
Early Prototype Scene of Project Rene

Let’s take a look at the current official game description for Project Rene. Of course, it’s still early days of development so the most comprehensive game description currently available is in the form of job postings for the game. However, the job descriptions give a lot of insight into what’s being worked on and planned.

The job listing for a Senior Character Artist is particularly interesting, describing some of the things players will be able to do in Project Rene when it launches. Play across mobile devices and computers, multiplayer, Sim and furniture customisation, and apartment design are all mentioned in the listing.

In this role you will be part of the Project Rene team building out the next generation game and creative platform. Project Rene is a Mobile + HD cross-platform that allows players to play The Sims alone or with friends, without barriers, for the first time ever. Explore the dramatic lives of your Sims in the most accessible, dynamic Simulation to date. Players can create characters, customize furniture, design apartments, and more using accessible tools. We’re excited you’re interested to learn more about how you can join our team and dream big.

Project Rene Early Screens

Early Development of Project Rene

Earlier in the year, previous Behind The Sims events showed off more early development footage of Project Rene. We got a behind the scenes look at things the team were exploring and ways in which players will be able to customise aspects of this new Sims game in new and intuitive ways.

Of course, all footage of The Sims 5 right now is very early stages of development so expect things to change as the game gets further along in development but being able to get a glimpse of what’s happening with The Sims 5 is a big deal for fans of the series. We’ve rarely gotten such an early look at ongoing projects in The Sims series before and it’s exciting to be able to follow the progress from the stat of the project all the way to the finished product.

However, one risk involved in being so transparent about the next generation Sims game is leaks. The future Sims game has already had its fair share of them, with multiple screens being leaked from the playtest group.

The Sims 4 Cars: 3 Easy Ways to Get Your Dream Ride!

So You’re Wondering, How to Get Cars in The Sims 4?

Have you ever wanted to see your Sim own a sleek convertible or maybe a vintage Mustang? While driving isn’t an option in the game (or is it?), you can still add some serious appeal to your Sim’s residence with Sims 4 cars. Whether you’re new to the game or a seasoned player, this article is your best guide to adding your dream vehicle to the Sims 4.

Sure, your Sim won’t be able to drive to the grocery store or take a scenic tour around the neighborhood, but these Sims 4 cars can serve as a great representation of your Sim’s lifestyle. We’ll start with the simple steps and shift further to more practical options, but either way you’ll find a way to make your Sim the main topic of the neighbourhood. So Simmers, put on your seatbelts and let’s hit the road!

Method #1: Adding Cars as Decorative Items

As you know the Sims 4 doesn’t let you drive cars, but it does allow you to include them as decorative items in your builds. There’s a handy little trick to do this, without using any cheats or mods. Without further to do, let’s break down the basic method of adding cars to your Sim’s property.

Step 1: Navigate to Decorations

Sims 4 Decoration Tab

First things first, go into build mode by clicking on the hammer and wrench icon, or simply press F2 on your keyboard. Once you’re in build mode, navigate your way to the Decorations tab. This is where you’ll find a bunch of cool items to decorate your Sim’s home, including cars.

Step 2: Find Miniature Car Models

Within the Decorations tab, click on Sculptures and you’ll be able to find them there. If you want to make this process faster, just type “car” into the search bar and you’ll find a couple of miniature model Sims 4 cars. These tiny models serve as the base for your Sims 4 cars.

Sims 4 Miniature Cars

Step 3: Size It Up!

Sims 4 Car

Once you’ve selected your miniature car, it’s time to make it life-sized. To do this, click on the car and use the bracket keys [ and ] on your keyboard to adjust it to your preferred size.

Method #2: Unlock Hidden Sims 4 Cars with Cheats

For those of you who are looking for something a bit more cool and unique, cheats will be your best friend. By using cheats, you can unlock a variety of Sims 4 cars that are not readily available in the build catalog. A part from cars you’ll find loads of other cool items, so let’s dive deeper on how to access this secret catalogue!

Step 1: Open Cheat Console

The very first thing you need to do is open cheat console. This is the gateway to unlocking various hidden items within the game. To open the console, press Ctrl + Shift + C on your keyboard. A small text box will appear at the top of your screen, serving as place to enter your cheats.

Sims 4 Cheats Console

Step 2: Enter the Cheat Code

In the cheat console, first type the cheat testingcheats true, this will enable our cheats. The next step is to enter the second cheat bb.showhiddenobjects and hit enter. This cheat will unlock a variety of hidden items in build mode, but to get to the secret Sims 4 cars we need to enter one more cheat. The final cheat you should enter is bb.showliveeditobjects and voila, your cars should be visible now.

Sims 4 Cars Cheat

Step 3: Search for Debug

Sims 4 Debug

Once you’ve activated the cheat, head back into Build mode. Only this time, in the search bar at the top, type in debug. This keyword will reveal a list of items that were previously hidden from your view in the build catalogue.

Step 4: Find Your Perfect Sims 4 Car

Sims 4 Cars

After you type in debug, you’ll notice the menu is now flooded with a bunch of new items, including a wide range of Sims 4 cars. Once you’re done exploring the newly added items, scroll down through this list until you find your perfect car. Only thing left to do is place it on your lot and make your Sim neighbours jealous!

Do you think the game is more fun with cheats? Well, there’s more where that came from! Check out our Essential List of Sims 4 Cheats!

Method #3: Expand Your Vehicle Collection with The Sims 4 Cars Mod

These ways are a good quick trick to get cars in the Sims 4, but they’re not drivable, are they? If you’re left feeling nostalgic about the drive feature from previous Sims games, we have something that will cheer you up. If you haven’t heard of the Sims 4 Car Mod by Dark Gaia, it’s a mod that turns nostalgia into reality. With this mod, your Sims can actually own and drive cars in their lots, effectively bringing Sims 4 Cars to life! Oh, and did we mention it’s Base Game compatible?

Sims 4 Car Mod Features

The mod introduces five different drivable Sims 4 cars, each offering its own unique perks. The cars are located under the “Hobbies and Activities > Misc” in Function Mode and “Outdoors > Activities” in Room Mode. When it comes to placement, you can place these cars anywhere on your lot as long as your Sims can reach them.

To take a drive, you simply click on the car and choose the “Drive to…”. As your Sim approaches the car, a map screen will pop up to choose their destination. But it doesn’t stop there, arriving at the chosen destination gives your Sim a “Traveled in Style” +3 emotional moodlet. These emotions depend on the car you use though.

Car Options, Prices, and Emotions

For those curious about the development process, Max20 released a screenshot on their Twitter Account about the CC in the works.

The creator also shared that they’re working on other objects within this Sims 4 Cars CC Set. Including Garage Doors, several types of Parking Spaces and miscellaneous garage decor!

How to Install This Drivable Sims 4 Car Mod

Installing this mod follows the same procedure as most other mods. You’ll need to download the mod file and transfer the .zip/.package to your Sims 4 Mods folder. Don’t forget to enable mods from your game settings to ensure that the cars show up in your game.

How to Get Mods on Sims 4: The Best Beginner Guide!

Learning how to install and maintain Mods / CC is easier than you think!

how to get mods on sims 4

Want to learn how to get mods on Sims 4? Want to learn how to get CC on Sims 4? You’re in the right place! If you’re a Sims player who’s never delved into the world of mods and CC before, getting started with customizing your game can feel overwhelming. Where do you even start looking? Where do all those files go? Don’t mods and CC give you viruses? What do all these techy terms mean? Why do all your mods keep breaking whenever you update the game? How do you fix it?

The good news is modding your game isn’t as hard as you think. Sims Community is here to help. We’ll be clarifying any technical terms you might come across while looking for mods and CC, dispelling common myths about mods and CC, and walking you through the process of installing and maintaining your mods and CC step-by-step. How to get mods on Sims 4 and how to get CC should be no problem for you by the end of this guide!

How to Get Mods on Sims 4 (and CC)

Glossary of Terms

TS4 SP13 SECONDARY 01 003 iso02 1k

Before you do anything regarding how to get mods on Sims 4, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the following terms. You’ll come across them a lot, both here, and elsewhere online. If you don’t know what these terms mean, you’ll struggle to understand how to customize your game.

  • Mods: Game modifications made by fans of the game. These modifications change the way your game behaves. There are small mods that make minor changes to the game, but there are also very large mods that completely overhaul existing features in the game or add brand new features to the game. Mods need to be updated frequently to keep your game running well.
  • CC: Stands for custom content. CC is content created by fans of the game. CC can be anything; clothes, hair, skins, eyes, makeup, new build/buy objects, etc. Unlike mods, CC does not change the way your game behaves. It simply adds more Create-A-Sim items and Build/Buy objects to the game. Since CC doesn’t touch the game code, it rarely needs to be updated, but in some cases, you might need to update or remove broken CC as well.
  • Mesh: Without getting too techy, think of a mesh as the shape or skeleton of an object. Everything in The Sims needs both a shape (mesh) and at least one colour (texture) to show up properly in your game. If a creator says that their CC requires a mesh, it means you need to download the shape of that object from somewhere else. Creators will link to any separate mesh downloads you need, so follow the link to download the mesh.
  • Recolour: A recolour is exactly what it sounds like. A recolouring of a mesh. Creators can recolour existing Maxis content in the game, or custom meshes made by other creators. If a creator says their CC is a recolour, make sure you also have the mesh for it. Creators will let you know if the mesh is included or where to go to get the mesh.
  • Alpha: CC that is hyper realistic. Alpha CC aims to make the game look as true to real life as possible; however, because of its high detail, it is also more taxing on your computer to render. Most lower-end computers cannot handle a lot of alpha CC.
  • Maxis Match: CC that matches the clay-like art style of the game. Maxis Match CC aims for the exact opposite effect of alpha CC. It strives to keep the game’s original art style intact and untouched. Maxis Match CC is not as taxing on computers to run, but keep in mind, too much of any kind of CC can slow down a low-to-mid-range computer.
  • Maxis Mix: A mix between Maxis Match and alpha CC. If a player says their game is Maxis Mix, it means they use both alpha CC and Maxis Match CC in their games. The aim of Maxis Mix is to give the game a more realistic touch without looking too out of place in the clay-like environment in-game.

Common Myths About Mods and CC

how to get mods on sims 4

Mods and CC Give You Viruses

FALSE. It is perfectly safe to download mods and CC. Creators will not stick malware or viruses into their downloads. Creators create content for the game out of a genuine passion for The Sims; however, many creators host their downloads on sites that have pop-up ads. These ads are often malicious in nature and trick you into thinking that you’re downloading mods and CC, when in fact, you’re downloading a virus. This can be easily avoided by installing AdBlocker for your browser. The AdBlocker extension will stop those ads from popping up in the first place, making browsing for your favourite mods and CC safe. This shouldn’t curb your enthusiasm for learning how to get mods on Sims 4.

Mods Will Ruin Your Game Forever

FALSE. While out of date mods can cause lots of trouble in your game, fixing it is as easy as taking the troublesome mod out of your Mods folder. It is virtually impossible for any mod, no matter how big, to break your game to the point where you can’t ever play it again even after removing it and repairing your game. So if you’re worried about this ruining your desire to learn how to get mods on Sims 4, don’t be!

Downloading and Installing Mods and CC

picture

Now that you’re familiar with some basic terms and myths about how to get mods on Sims 4 have been laid to rest, let’s go over how to install mods and CC. Thankfully, it’s super easy! So easy that we’re going to cover it in 5 simple steps. You’ll know how to get mods on Sims 4 in no time!

  1. Search online for mods and CC you want to download. Some popular places are The Sims Resource, Mod the Sims, Maxis Match CC World, and the #s4cc tag on Tumblr.
  2. Read the entire description of the mod or CC you want to download carefully. The creator will highlight any important info you need to know. How it works, what it does, how to use it, how to download it, where to find it in the game, whether it requires a mesh or a certain pack, whether it conflicts with another mod, etc. Everything you need to know will be in the description, so never skim over it.
  3. Download and unzip. Download the content to your computer. It should be in your Downloads folder. If the download’s file name has .package or .ts4script at the end of it, then you’re all good. Proceed to the next step. If it has .rar or .zip at the end of it, you need to extract it. Zip files can be extracted by right-clicking and selecting Extract Here in Windows. Rar files need an extraction program to be extracted. I use 7zip, which is completely free.
  4. Move your .package or .ts4script files to your Mods folder. For most people, it should be in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods.
  5. Start your game and enjoy!

Not seeing your mods and CC in your game? Go to your game options and make sure script mods and custom content are enabled, then restart your game.

Maintaining Mods and CC

how to get mods on sims 4

Installing mods and CC is one thing. Maintaining them is another. Here’s how to keep all your mods and CC in working order in your game. How to get mods on Sims 4 is only half of what you need to know!

Organise Your Mods Folder

If you just start dumping hundreds and thousands of .package and .ts4script files into your Mods folder, things are going to get messy fast. Pretty soon, you won’t have any idea where to look to find a broken piece of CC or an outdated mod. This can completely kill some player’s desire to learn how to get mods on Sims 4.

You can avoid this by organizing your mods and CC into subfolders. You can organise your content in any way that makes sense to you, but make sure you don’t go more than one or two subfolders deep. The game can’t read files that are buried too far into the Mods folder. Many players like to organise their downloads by creator or by the website they got them from.

Keep Your Mods Updated

The number one thing you need to know about how to get mods on Sims 4 is that mods break. They break a LOT. After almost every single game update, in fact. This means that you’ll be redownloading your mods constantly. If this sounds like too much hassle for you, skip to our CurseForge section. If you are willing to keep your Mods folder maintained on a regular basis, then continue reading!

Have a Plan for Removing Broken CC

It’s somewhat rare for CC to break, since it isn’t a mod, but it can and does happen, especially if you forgot to download the mesh for a recoloured hair or clothing item. There are different methods for removing broken CC, but an easy method is to install Sims 4 Tray Importer. If you find CC that isn’t working, make a Sim or build a lot with all the broken CC you have on it, save it to your Library, then open up Sims 4 Tray Importer. Find your broken Sim or lot and look at the list of included CC. Find those files in your Mods folder and delete them.

Repair and Clear Your Cache Often

Every time you update or switch out your mods, it’s a good idea to clear your cache files. This is an important part of learning how to get mods on Sims 4. Navigate to Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 and delete the following:

  • Everything in the cache folder
  • Everything in the cachestr folder
  • Everything in the onlinethumbnailcache folder
  • The localthumbcache.package file

It is perfectly safe to delete these files. The game generates new ones every time you run the game. The cache files are just temporary memory that helps the game load certain things faster, but periodically clearing them out can help with glitches and performance.

If your game is acting up and you’re sure your Mods folder is completely up-to-date, repairing the game is a good way to resolve a wide variety of issues. Just open up your game library in Origin, right-click The Sims 4 and select Repair Game from the drop-down menu.

What to do When There is a Game Update

TS4 PE SKILLS 03b 001b

If you think you’re ready for how to get mods on Sims 4, slow down a second! Problems with mods spike every time the game gets a new patch. This is because patches almost always break mods and many players don’t realise that they have to update their mods after a patch before they can play their game again. Here is the standard procedure to follow when the game gets an update if you are a mod user:

  1. BEFORE updating your game, remove your Mods folder entirely. You can just move the folder to your Desktop for safekeeping.
  2. Update your game via Origin like normal.
  3. Do NOT put your Mods folder back in right away after updating. Odds are, all your mods are now broken and will not work with your updated game. You will need to update your mods first.
  4. To update your mods, you will need to return to wherever you downloaded them. The creator will either announce that the mod is compatible with the latest patch and does not need an update, or they will release an updated version of their mod. Give creators a few days to get around to this. They try their best, but they’re still human beings with lives of their own outside of The Sims. Yes, this means you will either have to avoid playing your game for a while after an update, or deal with playing without your mods. That’s just how the cookie crumbles, I’m afraid.
  5. If the creator has announced that their mod is still compatible with the latest update, great! It’s good, you don’t need to update it. If the creator has released a new version of their mod, download the newest version and replace the old version in your Mods folder.
  6. ONLY after you are 100% certain all your mods are compatible with the latest patch, put your Mods folder back in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4.

As long as you are vigilant about following these steps every time the game gets an update, you should have very little trouble with your mods at all. Almost all cases of mod problems come down to user error. We hope this guide will cut down on a lot of that and help you mod your game without any serious issues. Now you know how to get mods on Sims 4!

The Sims 4 Modern Luxe Makeover: From Cheap to Exquisite!

0

We made over a drab bedroom with the Modern Luxe Kit!

Sims 4 Modern Luxe Makeover

The latest contemporary luxury kit for The Sims 4 was so decadent, we just had to test it out for ourselves with a Sims 4 Modern Luxe makeover! Much like our last kit makeover, we took a bare bones, hideous base game room and transformed it into something beautiful using the new content! This kit is absolutely gorgeous so it wasn’t hard to transform the space into something elegant.

We’ve got two different Sims 4 Modern Luxe makeover styles for you, brought to you by Sims Community staff members, SnarkyWitch and Krista, respectively!

The Sims 4 Modern Luxe Makeover

See how we made over a boring, tacky base game bedroom and turned it into two different Modern Luxe styles!

The Before

Would you want to rest your head here? We wouldn’t, either. Nothing about this bedroom says rest and relaxation. It definitely needs a major overhaul, but luckily, there are no shortage of creative Simmers and no shortage of Sims 4 content that can help this drab, outdated bedroom look fabulous!

Let’s get started turning this terrible bedroom into a luxurious escape from the stresses of the world! We paired the Modern Luxe Kit with a few other packs to pull off the following designs.

Pampered Princess

2023 09 08 10 37 36 764 ellanora by ellcrze

One of my favourite things about the Modern Luxe kit is the colour palette. It’s not just 50 shades of beige like so many bland contemporary kits. There’s a lovely variety of colourful pastels and I am a huge fan of colour. I decided to design a bedroom for a pampered princess type of Sim and their equally pampered feline companion.

Sims 4 Modern Luxe Makeover

I didn’t touch the windows or the shape of the room, but I did completely gut the space and replaced the doors. Then I got to work redesigning the room in soft shades of pastel pink and elegant rose gold. I absolutely love the dreamy look of the blush pink paired with gold. It’s very delicate and whimsical.

No pampered princess bedroom is complete without a vanity table so I added one with some makeup clutter and a minimalist gold cat statue in honour of the feline friend who also calls this room home. I put a circular rug in the centre of the room and filled out the space a little more with an armchair next to a small cat bed. I can’t get enough of the accent pillows that come with this kit because I can do a lot with them. As you can see above, I placed one on the floor and on the armchair.

The walk-in closet is such a useful space to tuck away a dresser and some clothing clutter but those bulky curtains and wide archway took up too much space. I used a smaller archway to maximize space inside the closet area and I also replaced the dark purple curtains with more delicate looking pastel pink curtains from this kit. Inside the closet, I put the full length leaning wall mirror from this kit along with the dresser. I finished off the space with some base game closet clutter, some artwork, and the Modern Luxe record player and bust statue. Because everyone wants some good tunes while they get ready for the day, right?

All that was left for this Sims 4 Modern Luxe makeover was some decorative touches, like the bookshelf, the glass shelf over the vanity, a few light fixtures, and some more artwork! Of course, kitty has a scratch post that still looks good in this elegant space, too.

Sleek But Cosy

This shell is in desperate need of a Modern Luxe makeover! Nothing about the original room screamed comfortable and cosy, and just felt like it was missing a little something. Instantly, I had an idea in my head as to how I could rescue this room.

My inspiration, cosy autumnal vibes but with a sleek twist! Let’s see if I can recreate this idea using the new The Sims 4 Modern Luxe Kit and a few others too!

First things first, it was time to work with a blank canvas and figure out the colour scheme. I didn’t want to go with lots of brighter colours, instead I was going to opt for the darker/more neutral swatches within the new Kit! I also left both the windows and doors the same as the initial shell.

Sims 4 Modern Luxe Makeover

The sleep area was the first area I worked on. Even though I was going for a cosy feel, I wanted to keep the room more on the minimalistic side where I could. The last thing I wanted was an over cluttered room.

I ended up combining the likes of Get Famous, High School Years, Dream Home Decorator, Book Nook and Modern Luxe to gain the overall look. Opting for more green and blue colours to work alongside the objects from Modern Luxe.

To add to the sleek yet cosy feel of this Sims 4 Modern Luxe Makeover, I created a small yet simple reading nook. Without it being too overwhelming, this would be the perfect way to wind down with a good book at the end of a busy day!

TS4 x64 2023 09 10 18 50 46

As for the closet area, I placed the open wardrobes from High School Years, a standalone mirror and the new dresser (along with the vinyl record player) from the new Kit. Slowly but surely this Sims 4 Modern Luxe Makeover was coming together.

Just outside the closet area, I wanted a small vanity area with another full sized mirror as well as a little more decor.

Sims 4 Modern Luxe Makeover

Despite trying out a number of different ideas. Scrapping them all and starting over with different ideas, I do like how this turned out. There was, at one point, a completely different idea altogether that you could say gave an almost Hannah Montana feel instead.

Overall, this Sims 4 Modern Luxe Makeover was great fun to do and made me build in a way I wouldn’t do normally! The new objects provide endless possibilities and combinations for use, especially when paired with other The Sims 4 packs! I can definitely say I feel I achieved the sleek and cosy feel for this room makeover!

Maybe it is something we have never seen in The Sims before! For now, we will have to wait and see until we get more information from The Sims team!

Project Rene Update

Another highly anticipated section of the Behind The Sims livestream was an update of Project Rene. Players have been patiently waiting for a new update since the previous live stream.

Project Rene

While this was certainly a good update on Project Rene’s progress, players have been discussing a variety of thoughts and opinions following this latest update across social media.

Even though Project Rene is still very early in its development stages, there are still some slight concerns about the direction of the game as a whole. Despite this, with regular updates to the community and the transparency from the team with the community have been great!

We look forward to the next update regarding Project Rene soon!

Every Delicious Thing We Noticed in The Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle Reveal!

We zoom in on all the details from the Home Chef Hustle reveal!

Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle Reveal Trailer: Kitchen Overview

Stuff packs are officially back and Simmers couldn’t be happier about it! The Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle stuff pack is launching on September 28th, 2023 and we got a first look at the first stuff pack in over two years in today’s official reveal trailer! New appliances and new ways to make money are the main draws of this pack but let’s take an even closer look at some of the details, shall we?

The Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle Reveal Breakdown

There was lots to see in the reveal trailer. Some new features were obvious. Others were more subtle but either way, we’re about to go over all the stuff that got us the most excited!

Stand Mixer

The Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle Stuff Pack Official Reveal Trailer 0 22 screenshot

The baker in me is super happy to see this! This stuff pack is coming with a new, functional stand mixer to whip up lots of different tasty treats! As a side note, the small containers scattered around it might be the prepped ingredients that are mentioned in the blog, which Sims can taste test! The stand mixer is something brand new that we’ve never seen in any of the main Sims titles before.

Pizza Oven

Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle

We’ve never seen a tabletop pizza oven before… until now! Of course, pizza ovens were available for The Sims 3 as part of the Gold Edition of the Monte Vista store world but that pizza oven was a large traditional stone pizza oven. This compact oven can fit easily in almost any kitchen so we can see why it would be a popular home appliance for aspiring chefs!

Waffle Iron

The Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle Stuff Pack Official Reveal Trailer 0 21 screenshot

Finally! Something to rival pancakes! We saw the waffle iron in the Behind The Sims broadcast earlier this week, but it’s still a brand new appliance which is worth mentioning in this article. We can hardly believe The Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle will come with not one, not two, but THREE new small kitchen appliances to cook up a variety of new recipes.

Food Stand

Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle

Another obvious new feature but hey, it’s exciting so we’re gonna talk about it! The Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle will come with a new food stand that our Sims can use to sell all their delicious food they’ve cooked up! While Sims can technically sell food using the existing market tables in packs like Eco Lifestyle and Jungle Adventure, the food stand here looks like it will function a lot better for the specific purpose of selling food. We can see Sims actually eating the goods they buy and reacting to the taste.

New Recipes

The Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle Stuff Pack Official Reveal Trailer 1 21 screenshot

We get a glimpse here of so many mouth-watering new recipes! It’s clear that each new cooking appliance will have many different flavour and topping options for them. There are so many different types of waffles with different sides, different types of pizza, and more delicious baked goods! Yum! We also see those small Tupperware containers of prepped ingredients again.

Portable Side Hustle!

Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle

Because all the new appliances are small tabletop appliances, it makes it easy to take them out to the food stand so our Sims can prepare the food right in front of customers! It’s great to know that The Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle appliances aren’t limited to just home kitchens. You can really create a booming side business with these appliances and food stand all in one place!

Campy Accessories

Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle

No stuff pack would be complete without some nice CAS assets and just LOOK at these cute, campy pizza earrings! We can’t wait to see what other accessories and clothes will come with The Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle stuff pack.

Adorable Kitchen Clutter

The Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle Stuff Pack Official Reveal Trailer 0 24 screenshot

We admit it; we’re suckers for kitchen clutter and oh boy, does The Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle ever have a lot of it! There are so many cute items we’re already planning to put in our kitchens. We especially love the wall mounted dish rack, the corner shelf with dishes and jars, and the cookbook propped up on the counter, open and covered in sticky notes as if a Sim uses it regularly!

Trailer Reveal Screen

Extra Item Previews!

The last portion of the Home Chef Hustle Stuff Reveal Trailer has shown additional overviews for new CAS, Build and Gameplay Items. We’ve extracted all the right parts for you to check out:

Another mod we mentioned in the past is the Sims 4 Childbirth Mod by PandaSama.

But it doesn’t stop there, the latest update takes ‘realistic’ to a whole new level! Say hello to the most immersive breastfeeding experience you’ve ever seen in the Sims 4.

After giving birth, your Sim automatically enters the world of lactation with a moodlet that says it all. Your Sim can have a high, normal, or low milk supply, and each level affects everything from production speed to the risk of developing mastitis. Talk about detail!

10. Ghosts Can Have Babies Mod: Because Even Spirits Deserve Family Love!

Sims 4 Ghosts Can Have Babies Mod
Image taken from Mod the Sims.

So, we’ve all been there, playing the Sims, vibing with our ghost Sims who can get married and stuff but for some reason can’t have kids. I mean there is an option with cheats, but honestly it’s too much of a hassle. That’s where Sims 4 Growing Together Mods come in! PolarBearSims created this mod just out of those reasons, with a “Try for Baby” interaction for your ghost Sims.

That means whether you’ve got a human and a ghost, or two ghost parents-to-be, babies can now be in that equation. Kinda groundbreaking if you ask us! Here’s the rundown: the “Try for Baby” option appears on the Sim, not objects and the ghost males can impregnate both human and ghost females. But heads up, the newborns won’t be ghosts, because apparently the game doesn’t have a ghost shader for babies.

So, if you’re all about that afterlife family dynamic, this mod is a must-add to your Sims 4 Growing Together Mods collection!

Are you tired of constantly rushing to fulfill your infant Sims’ needs? Do you feel like you’re spending more time micromanaging babies than actually enjoying the parenting experience in the game? We get it, handling infants needs can really become a distraction.

The Infant Needs Decay Mod by Plumlace is a game-changer in the world of Sims 4 Infants Mods. This mod reduces the decay rate of all infant needs to 50% of the base game’s default rate.

You’ll have more time for cuddles, playing, and maybe even catching up on some adult Sim activities!

Sims 4 Baby Stroller mod
Image taken from Curseforge.

The developers MizoreYukii and thepancake1 are once again working on a Sims 4 baby stroller mod that had previously failed due to major bugs. The main issue was that Sims could not use the stroller if it was moved using live drag or taken from the inventory, essentially breaking the object.

According to their latest update, the mod is gradually coming together. Despite the remaining bugs, the project seems promising and is actively being improved. While animations for turning have yet to be added, the mod is expected to come out any time soon! Since this is one of those Sims 4 Infants Mods we all crave so much in the game, the day this mod comes out will be a true celebration for the Growing Together Community!

Although the full experience isn’t available, we did find a little workaround. Check out Whimsyalien’s Out For A Stroll Pose Pack, to have at least some function of baby strollers in the game. As this is the only way until a stroller mod arises in the world of Sims 4 Infants Mods.
