Well, Sims mods have always been prevalent... Have they? Or is it because the base game is so barren and most content locked behind paywall to the point sims mods have always been popular?
@@SkipTheKip Those previous entries had much more substantial content, even when comparing the base game of 2 and 3 to sims 4 with all the current expansions the previous two have much more depth to the sims.

A H Sure, mods have always been part of the gameplay experience of The Sims, but for some reason The Sims 4 just has such limited gameplay/storytelling options compared to the rest. Back when I played Sims 2 and 3 I barely used mods, 1 or 2 tops, but I must have at least 10 of the mods in this video just to make the game a bit more realistic. I admit I could be biased tho, this is coming from a family player that doesn’t have all packs.
@@wwaxwork at least Skyrim and Fallout are playable without any mods, and pretty 'completed' when its released, its Bugthesda but still. Meanwhile The Sims 4 need mods to make it playable, and basically to fix everything that missing from the base game. Incomplete mess.

Thank you so much for this video man you literally made it when I was scrolling for hours best mods list 😂 and found none that were good. You’re a legend!
These are all great but I don't want 50+ mods in my game when they should've already had these features to begin with. I've been happily enjoying Sims 3 again :)
It's ok, because I think Brookheights will be in a class all its own, and will probably deserve a LOT of individual coverage. Probably more than you can do in one video. I look forward to your take on it.
Turbodriver just came out with a more pg friendly "Wonderful Whims," which takes the attraction system and other non-mature aspects and puts them into a separate mod.
This was the first I heard about it. I was like "Finally! I can have the attraction and menstrual system in the PG save file I share with kids!". But then I looked and they've still got STDs and stuff, so maybe when they get a little older. 😅
@Company Omid Ayendeh Custom Content is like more realistic and extra CAS objects and stuff for buildings (Clothes, Hair, Skin, Beds, Rooms). You can watch many videos abt it. There are many articles and videos abt Mods, too. U won’t understand it from a YT comment.
it makes me really mad that EA is basically riding off the backs of all these modders for free. I know modders dont have to do what they do, but its just gross that EA is making money off this shitty game when all the actual good features in it are 3rd party made.
Same with Cities Skylines. This game lacks so many features that just should be in the base game. But I must say the recent DLCs they put out such as Industries and Park Life are quite good.

One of other mods i can't play without is SRsly's complete cooking overhaul (expands lists of ingredients, adds buying groceries, changes cakes into baking skill , and other stuff , since it's still being expanded) :)
YES! I was using that but felt it would be cool if we can make some of the ingredients ourselves. Etc eggs can be obtained from chicken coop (like the first mod Carl showed) or we can have our own flour mill or churn our own butter. I wanna create a mod like this so badly but I'm busy with college 😭
It's worth to mention small mods by Bienchen. It's a German modder, but everything has a description in English on the Mods page. This creator has given us a variety of tuning mods, that can tweak things from certain packs. And my favorite thing - stop townies from being endlessly generated. I just can't be thankful enough for these mods, they have made my game very comfortable. Very much worthy of checking out.
@Company Omid Ayendeh maybe you should google it for yourself. CC are the data packages like clothing or changed/recolored things from the games build files. And there are script mods that allow your sims to do certain things. both datapackages can be shoved in your mods folder in sims 4 and only there. documents, EA, Sims 4, mods. Folders shouldnt be more than 2 layers deep. Turn on the allow script mods button in game and restart. When you wanna use mods start with simple stuff and read/google the instructions beforehand. Many script mods you have to update otherwise they wont function properly.
i wonder what that says about skyrim. or basically all of Bethesda open world games. but at the same time if people didn't at least enjoy some of it they wouldn't bother modding it.
I don’t think it shows anything horrible. People will make mods because they want certain things in the series. We don’t claim that sims 1-3 are terrible because they have mods. It’s just part of what people do for whatever reasons
One mod I like and don’t see mentioned is the fashion police mod. It really helps if you hate the townies’ random outfits. The other solution is to download a ton of sims from gallery into your library and mess with MC command center population settings
Yeah, I have all Sims games since 2000 and never downloaded mods until Sims 4. Now I have over 150 mods just to fix stupid stuff, like Sims not playing with clay every 5 mins.
@@Kitsuiko people have been making mods since the Sims 1 regardless of how many simmers actually use them...I know (and use) many mods that don't fix glitches...modding has gone on for a looooong time. I've been a simmer for over 20 years now...Will Wright made sure to open the code since Sims 1 so people could customize their game the way they wanted. I never bothered to downloaded mods until Sims 4 because I feared ruining my game thanks to forum horror stories of how mods could destroy saves. I was so frustrated in Sims 4 from all of the bugs and unbalanced behaviors that I finally caved in and used mods to problems EA hasnt fixed. I feel that both Sims 2 and Sims 3 were patched satisfactory enough for me to not have to download fixes like I must for 4. Not sure why you're trying to start an argument.
Lumpinou has added a suite of gameplay mods that add a lot of depth to the game. Contextual Interactions allows sims to discuss their life events like promotions, relationships, and pregnancy. Road to Romance adds a ton of romantic interactions, allows your sim to ask for relationship advice, and turns romantic interactions into a skill. Friends with Benefits creates a new relationship status and allows your sims to flirt, kiss, and woohoo without growing the romance bar. She's also created a religion mod and a psychic mod, but I don't have those in my game so I can't speak to them. Adding Contextual Interactions, Road to Romance, and Friends with Benefits to my game has added a lot of depth to it.
Yeah I just got contextual interactions! I love being able to tell my friends/family that I graduated from college or got promoted or about my nice holiday I had yesterday. Sims also get moodlets related to some of them so they'll actually feel happy their spouse got a promotion.
I have her rambunctious religions and have had a lot of sim fights over them lol. But her woohoo wellness mods are also worth mentioning. It's aiming to take over the reproductive health system in wicked whims but they work well in tandem as well. The best feature is choosing a sim's preference for kids and really alters the experience if they didn't want kids but become pregnant.
It's not a perfect fix, but sacrificial mods does have a pie menu you can download. It categorizes all his mods into the interaction menu so you don't have to look for everything. It's very useful. I just wish more modders had this option
I see on Nexus the MSM (Mod Settings Menu) by colonolNutty. I'm not sure if it's what you're looking for, i haven't try it my self, but maybe it's a lead for you.
@@PrinceGrenouille oh yeah, i use it because they mentioned it in their other work.. not the community library but THAT one hehe.But what i mean was a mod manager like nexus's vortex or the better one.
some mods I use and people may find useful: - Scarletqueencat - No required ingredients - Weerbesu - Longer parties & more guests - LittleDica - Old School CAS Room
I have always found your guides super helpful. I have found out more about the Sims secret treasures and Mods form you than any other person. To me you are the Godfather of Guides. Thank you for all your hard work over the years.
Mods are really saving this game, however, from what I understand, the mod friendly engine is also what is causing all the bugs whenever Maxis adds new packs and updates. So there are both positives and negatives. But thanks to modders, we can download fixes as well, so I say it is mostly positive. And I really hope that the sims5 will have mod support.
A simple thing like the produce stand, love it. I always wanted to have a Sim who's a farmer. Also the Go To School mod. I will for sure try that. MCCC is a must have for literally all players. Like NRAAS in Sims 3. Good stuff. Thanks !
The candle system from icemunmun? Tbh more and more of their ideas are running parallel to what moders have already done. Just start paying the modders to add content to the game and we might end up with an enjoyable working product 🤷♀️😅
To be fair, without the sims game there would be no mod so... Also if you ever read the TOU, modders and content creators are technically not even supposed to sell their third party sim content for profit, which a lot of them do but EA allows it for a certain period of time, I think like 3 months before it’s legally an issue. So that could be another reason.
@@Sinovian EA needs to do what the creators of City Skylines do: they employ modders to help them make content packs and sell them. It gives the modders clout, a bit of money, resume padding, and the company gets most of the money plus love from the player community. It's dumb not to follow that business model. That model is one of the reasons Paradox was able to kill SimCity. 1/16/21, 2:59p
I can't play without many of those mods. I also like ita's "show infos sims" (found on mod the sims) It allows you to see many infos on your sim, and others : occult, where they live, what is their friends, family, coworkers, if they're pregnant, their traits (even hidden traits) their moodlets and buffs and a lot of stuff, for playable sims or NPC. I use this mod all the time ! (yes, i'm a control freak XD)

I wish there's a diving mod where you can let your swim dive underwater in pools or in other swimmable areas (like oceans and so on) and even control them while they're diving and have some interactions with other sims such as maybe an underwater kiss or a holding breath contest.
This is a great list, and I use most of these. Took me hours to find and compile on my own. I’m glad it will be easier for people to find them all now. I also like the Cult mod and Royalty mod.
Kawaiistacie Explorer Mod is AWESOME! Also, MCC Autonomy Scan is great if you don't want your Sims to wash dishes in the bathroom. Click on the sink, and de-select the "wash dishes" action. These are all great mods. I have an extensive mod folder. Although I may complain when there's an update, these mods made my game playable. Thanks Carl!
RIP Scumbumbo, Sims would never have gotten where it is today without you. You paved the way for many of us in the modding community as a whole. You will not be forgotten.
once again a freaking top notch video sharing info I didn't know I needed and now cannot live without. A few I've used before but man a lot of these I just have to try out.
So Snowy Escape is taking the Slice of Life mod with its 16 personalities? Didn't know about Scumbumbo's passing. He has some great mods. Also shoutout to LittleMsSam with the wonderful mod fixes to everything.
Have I told you how awesome you are as a creator ? I have a bunch of mods, but it’s like I never could find a video for a summary of each. Currently watching this as I play through them on sims ❤️
Thank you, Carl! I've been on a mod downloading spree lately and it has so improved my Sims 4 gameplay, but I'm always wanting more. You are an absolute legend!
21:02 kawaiistacie has a mod called the "Explore Mod" (I think that's the name lol) that's kinda like this that lets you go into rabbit holes with other sims to build relationships, except it also has sims asking you on the phone to go places, skill building places, gambling, shopping, dates, and just a TON of other stuff, it's one of my favs and I 100% recommend
VIDEO SUGGESTION: Hi Carl, what about doing a video on the various walkable paths in the different worlds? While playing in Brindleton Bay during Winter, I was amazed at the awesome walkable paths! Thru tunnels, woodsy areas private viewing areas/beaches with amazing views. Unlike some areas where you walk to the end of the block and are forced to turn around. And as a personal wish for the game, would be great if the SIMS could remember things, like remember names, remember how you partied the night before together, just be more familiar vs. having amnesia. :-P
there is a mod called realistic reactions, its actually really good! for example, when a child's parents are arguing in front of them, the child will have a mood that is saying they aren't happy about the argument.
Hey Carl, I really appreciate you putting a list of these together so we can get a visual representation of what each mod does. Thanks for sharing **It would also be really cool if you made a follow up video on how to fix your mods folder/better ways to find which mods are causing script errors/and how to find which mods are conflicting with each other Cuz you know how us modders be......
Try a 50/50 approach. It's not quick, but it might be one of the quicker ways. Take out half your mods, load the game, and see if the error happens. If it doesn't, it's one of the mods you took out. If it does, it's one of the ones left. You keep cutting by half and reloading until you find it.
A great video! Thank you! I use or have tried several you mentioned. My mod musts are: MC Command Center; UI Cheats; Faster eating; and “no intro”. Another must is LittleMsSam’s Quick Shower/Bath! She puts out so many great mods that I use.
As usual, pure GOLD in this video. Your videos are a reference for me and your reviews ultimately determine if I’ll buy a pack or download a mod. I love that you give your honest opinion and you’re very clear. Standing ovation, this video will help me reinvigorate my gameplay experience and it help me learn a bunch of stuff as well. Great job!
This is the best thing I've stumbled across in months! Love the long list and over half I've never hear of before. Thank you so much for taking time to make this.
@Artoria Pendragon I have a love/hate relationship with the pancakes chemistry system. It can be a little rough introducing the mod into an already existing relationship. A couple that were crazy about one another, now have okay or bad chemistry. I know you can change the preferences but it's an ordeal, lol. If there was some way for the mod to recognise an already created/married couple and keep them compatible it would certainly make the mod much more user friendly. Just my thoughts...
You're a treasure to our community - both helpful, and entertaining to watch. I've been playing a lot with SoL - have never heard of Basementals so I'm going to install that now... pray for me HAHA
I know this vid is a year old but there are always new things to learn from you and I'll be damned if you don't always make me laugh. Thank you for your existence.
I have a great mod that blends in the animations from moods to the walking animation of the sims, it looks amazing in the game, it gives this smooth actually natural feeling when you're playing.
I just want one thing.. and that's a Tool which we download and check updates of our mods and cc's.. searching a mods and cc's.. not going arround in 1029019201 sites for them.. everything in one place.. If modders and creators unite and someone create a software which will help everyone... Also that tool can scan for mods/cc which cant' work together, you can scan for duplicates etc... to work on that principle.. no need visual of that items, is enough to be name lists.. mark several items to delete to.. do this and that etc..
I have a mod that wasn't on the list that I love. Jamjar's Omegaverse mod. I know not everyone likes omegaverse, but for those of us who do, it's the absolute best one out there, and it offers a lot of fun options for gameplay. Also, thank you so much for making this list, I super appreciate it. I didn't know about at least half of these and I'm now going to go add to my mod list!!
I love slice of life!!! The townies always invite me over to their house for a movie hangout or if im dating someone they invite me to stay the night at their place..., also there are so many apps that up your skill level which is so handy when you need to up your skill but dont have a chess table so you play chess on an app! You can send diferent texts and even ask for pancakes! The pancakes get delivered to you and you have a whole stack of them. I cant imagine sims 4 without it it just adds so much to the game.
Thanks for taking the time to put this together and make the video. These mods make the game as much fun for grown ups as kid and teens. It's a great benefit to all of us that people exercise their skills in making these mods. It also speaks to the brilliance behind the game engine that makes it possible. No wonder it's a multi billion dollar enterprise.
Thanks Carl! Alot of these have been thoughts in the back of my head. Like "what if theres a mod for this?" And never knew what to search. So thank you!
The fact that there are tons of CC creators for The Sims is the appeal to the game. It's always been that way, going back to the early days of Sims 1 and 2, and that's what's kept me coming back.
Wow such amazing works. It feels that maybe with all these mods the game should be complete! It's funny I'm watching this right after they added bunk beds and faster eating, but way too late..! All these years I've been playing on and off with no mods at all, because I thought it to be a tedious process. Last month I got Really bored with the game. I added wicked whims but it's not enough. I'm definitely adding many of these to my game in hopes of making it interesting for me again!
You listed so many of my staples, but that magic mod??? News to me, and I WILL be getting it ASAP. The biggest letdown in RoM was the lackluster spells and magic system but I've loved magic in the sims since TS1. That mod will be a new staple for sure.
Thank you so much! I will try a bunch of these to make my legacy challenge a little more realistic. Appreciate all your work. I would be lost without your guides.
Thanks for including my Sorcerer mod! I appreciate it. Did another update recently to add even more to it with a "Reality Arts" skill (more of a "neutral" focus).
I have never been much for using mods, but after watching this video, I think I'm going to have to get some of the ones shown here. Very informative and useful! Thanks!
Yesss thank you so much! I love mods that improve gameplay and there are so many here! I can't help but shake my head at the fact that modders had to step up to fix the game with stuff that wasn't included when the devs had the chance (or just left out for 6 years...), but I'm so grateful for the modders' work! One that wasn't on the list that I like to use is Zerbu's Simology mod that let's you set what emotion certain activities will give specific sims and you can give them weaknesses like slowing down energy increase and speeding up bladder decrease.
Wow, lots go good info in this video. I've not yet used mods in Sims 4, but I did use a few in Sims 3 (mostly nraas stuff). I think the most useful mod for Sims 3 (for my gameplay) was that one that enabled people to use the toilet or shower and not be bothered if someone walked in.
I've tried soo many times to play without mods so that my laptop doesn't explode... but I just can't! 👩💻🔥 Sooo thankful for all of the incredibly talented Modders out there carrying this whole game!! 🙏
For anyone who's interested, Turbodriver just today (?) released a SFW version of some of the Wicked Whims features (not the streamer version, but a whole new mod for people who don't use WW), if you ever make a sequel to this video (which would be cool, since as of now there's basically no point to even installing TS4 if you're not going to use mods, RIP console players) I don't use WW but it looks like so far some features aren't in the SFW version like shaving, but the attraction, personality enhancement, and menstrual cycle systems are. And improved reputation seems to be coming up, I don't know if that's already in WW or not.
miramira made me pause this video for over an hour going through all of their content & their linked content to related creators, because OMG so gorgeous. I was SO happy to see how inclusive these creators have become over the years. It made me feel like I was back on IMVU
the one mod that i also always install is the random traits and aspirations by graycurse. It takes away the control over the traits and aspirations and gives them a random one when they age up !
For a second I was lost when he talked about the no intro mod. Then I realised that i've had the no intro mod installed on my game for so long that i'd forgotten that Sims 4 has an intro !
Its kinda funny how the sims 4 stripped so much away and modders were like hold up let me add that back.
🤣🤣🤣 right
And they did it for free!

The only thing keeping me playing Sims 4 is mods and that's kinda sad
I divorced Sims 4 and went back to Sims 3 ^_^ so much better.
How to download them and where to save them on a Mac laptop
I got all the dlc and got the cracked version so it's fine lol
Same with Cities Skylines. This game lacks so many features that just should be in the base game. But I must say the recent DLCs they put out such as Industries and Park Life are quite good.

I was looking for this comment
Life saver 🙌🏼
Thank you so much! ✨
Thanks,It was very helpful💕
Omg thank you so much
Sims 4, a game so boring and addictive it turns its players into expert modders.
I know right?! Sims sucks.
@@Yogurtman360 then why tf are you
Turbodriver is putting out a SFW version of Wicked Whims, called Wonderful Whims. Basically has all the NSFW aspects of Wicked Whims taken out.
what sfw aspects does it have? The menstrual cycle is all i can think of.
@@CHLOCHLOLP Attraction, personalities, birth control, crabs, miscarriage, of course the menstrual cycle and a couple other things.
@@TheMintfulMinttymint oh yea i forgot they added sexualities in that mod.
omg i love this, i want to try the attraction system
@depressed cockroach Yep! Its available on Turbodrivers itch.io page, as well as the sims 4 nexus.
One of other mods i can't play without is SRsly's complete cooking overhaul (expands lists of ingredients, adds buying groceries, changes cakes into baking skill , and other stuff , since it's still being expanded) :)
YES! I was using that but felt it would be cool if we can make some of the ingredients ourselves. Etc eggs can be obtained from chicken coop (like the first mod Carl showed) or we can have our own flour mill or churn our own butter. I wanna create a mod like this so badly but I'm busy with college 😭
It's worth to mention small mods by Bienchen. It's a German modder, but everything has a description in English on the Mods page. This creator has given us a variety of tuning mods, that can tweak things from certain packs. And my favorite thing - stop townies from being endlessly generated. I just can't be thankful enough for these mods, they have made my game very comfortable. Very much worthy of checking out.
i love his whims overhaul mod too, can't play with out
@Company Omid Ayendeh maybe you should google it for yourself. CC are the data packages like clothing or changed/recolored things from the games build files. And there are script mods that allow your sims to do certain things. both datapackages can be shoved in your mods folder in sims 4 and only there. documents, EA, Sims 4, mods. Folders shouldnt be more than 2 layers deep. Turn on the allow script mods button in game and restart.
When you wanna use mods start with simple stuff and read/google the instructions beforehand. Many script mods you have to update otherwise they wont function properly.
The fact some many mods exist for The Sims 4 shows everything great and horrible about this game.
So many GOOD mods. it's pretty wild, but at the same time with a 7 million population you should have more modders.
i wonder what that says about skyrim. or basically all of Bethesda open world games. but at the same time if people didn't at least enjoy some of it they wouldn't bother modding it.
@@CarlsSimGuides EA should be more skilled at making the game just as good as the modders cuz console players can't use the mods sadly :(
I don’t think it shows anything horrible. People will make mods because they want certain things in the series. We don’t claim that sims 1-3 are terrible because they have mods. It’s just part of what people do for whatever reasons
One mod I like and don’t see mentioned is the fashion police mod. It really helps if you hate the townies’ random outfits. The other solution is to download a ton of sims from gallery into your library and mess with MC command center population settings
The faster eating mod is a godsend. Cant believe i never thought of looking if there was such a thing.
There are faster everything mods..... Some of Coolspears Mods still working.... he retired....
It seems like everyone is sooo totally. Frustrated in EA almost EVERY one is reviewing mods. Rightfully so.
Yeah, I have all Sims games since 2000 and never downloaded mods until Sims 4. Now I have over 150 mods just to fix stupid stuff, like Sims not playing with clay every 5 mins.
@@MLadyAzzera Same here. I never used mods until The Sims 4. I feel so ashamed, but apparently, it's the norm. 🤢
Onion Face We already have...
So... you don't think people would have made any mods otherwise?
@@Kitsuiko people have been making mods since the Sims 1 regardless of how many simmers actually use them...I know (and use) many mods that don't fix glitches...modding has gone on for a looooong time. I've been a simmer for over 20 years now...Will Wright made sure to open the code since Sims 1 so people could customize their game the way they wanted.
I never bothered to downloaded mods until Sims 4 because I feared ruining my game thanks to forum horror stories of how mods could destroy saves.
I was so frustrated in Sims 4 from all of the bugs and unbalanced behaviors that I finally caved in and used mods to problems EA hasnt fixed. I feel that both Sims 2 and Sims 3 were patched satisfactory enough for me to not have to download fixes like I must for 4.
Not sure why you're trying to start an argument.
Lumpinou has added a suite of gameplay mods that add a lot of depth to the game. Contextual Interactions allows sims to discuss their life events like promotions, relationships, and pregnancy. Road to Romance adds a ton of romantic interactions, allows your sim to ask for relationship advice, and turns romantic interactions into a skill. Friends with Benefits creates a new relationship status and allows your sims to flirt, kiss, and woohoo without growing the romance bar. She's also created a religion mod and a psychic mod, but I don't have those in my game so I can't speak to them. Adding Contextual Interactions, Road to Romance, and Friends with Benefits to my game has added a lot of depth to it.
Yeah I just got contextual interactions! I love being able to tell my friends/family that I graduated from college or got promoted or about my nice holiday I had yesterday. Sims also get moodlets related to some of them so they'll actually feel happy their spouse got a promotion.
I have her rambunctious religions and have had a lot of sim fights over them lol. But her woohoo wellness mods are also worth mentioning. It's aiming to take over the reproductive health system in wicked whims but they work well in tandem as well. The best feature is choosing a sim's preference for kids and really alters the experience if they didn't want kids but become pregnant.
I have seen them but not tested.... I'll give them a try
It's kinda hard to track mods for the sims, They're all over the place and kinda curious why there are no mod manager app
I love CKAN so much for Kerbal Space Program. It's life-changing.
It's not a perfect fix, but sacrificial mods does have a pie menu you can download. It categorizes all his mods into the interaction menu so you don't have to look for everything. It's very useful. I just wish more modders had this option
I wish there was a program like Nexus Mod Manager or that Fallout mod manager. They actually organize the mods too based on their content.
I see on Nexus the MSM (Mod Settings Menu) by colonolNutty. I'm not sure if it's what you're looking for, i haven't try it my self, but maybe it's a lead for you.
@@PrinceGrenouille oh yeah, i use it because they mentioned it in their other work.. not the community library but THAT one hehe.But what i mean was a mod manager like nexus's vortex or the better one.
I have quite a lot of mods from this list. Can't imagine playing the Sims 4 without them again.
some mods I use and people may find useful:
- Scarletqueencat - No required ingredients
- Weerbesu - Longer parties & more guests
- LittleDica - Old School CAS Room
I have always found your guides super helpful. I have found out more about the Sims secret treasures and Mods form you than any other person. To me you are the Godfather of Guides. Thank you for all your hard work over the years.
Mods are really saving this game, however, from what I understand, the mod friendly engine is also what is causing all the bugs whenever Maxis adds new packs and updates. So there are both positives and negatives. But thanks to modders, we can download fixes as well, so I say it is mostly positive.
And I really hope that the sims5 will have mod support.
Thank you for fondly thinking of Scumbumbo, he was indeed an incredible modder!
A simple thing like the produce stand, love it. I always wanted to have a Sim who's a farmer.
Also the Go To School mod. I will for sure try that.
MCCC is a must have for literally all players. Like NRAAS in Sims 3.
Good stuff. Thanks !
I use the MCCC mod, that's about it. I'm too lazy to manage more than that whenever there is an update. Thanks for your work as always!
Can we talk about how EA ripped off SACRIFICIAL's Road to Fame almost to a T?
Yes lol that poor guy didn’t he get recognized for his work
The candle system from icemunmun? Tbh more and more of their ideas are running parallel to what moders have already done. Just start paying the modders to add content to the game and we might end up with an enjoyable working product 🤷♀️😅
To be fair, without the sims game there would be no mod so...
Also if you ever read the TOU, modders and content creators are technically not even supposed to sell their third party sim content for profit, which a lot of them do but EA allows it for a certain period of time, I think like 3 months before it’s legally an issue. So that could be another reason.
@@jonnnyvigil3236 what happen if it does go way beyond a certain period of time?
@@Sinovian EA needs to do what the creators of City Skylines do: they employ modders to help them make content packs and sell them. It gives the modders clout, a bit of money, resume padding, and the company gets most of the money plus love from the player community.
It's dumb not to follow that business model. That model is one of the reasons Paradox was able to kill SimCity.
1/16/21, 2:59p
I can't play without many of those mods. I also like ita's "show infos sims" (found on mod the sims) It allows you to see many infos on your sim, and others : occult, where they live, what is their friends, family, coworkers, if they're pregnant, their traits (even hidden traits) their moodlets and buffs and a lot of stuff, for playable sims or NPC. I use this mod all the time ! (yes, i'm a control freak XD)
Couldn't live without it. Great Mod!
Hondo showing up in random places is totally in character. You can't change my mind.
I love when Carl reviews/shows mods ! I loved this video so much. Quick, witty and informative 💚

I wish there's a diving mod where you can let your swim dive underwater in pools or in other swimmable areas (like oceans and so on) and even control them while they're diving and have some interactions with other sims such as maybe an underwater kiss or a holding breath contest.
“Makes me want to touch it more”
I burst out laughing! Same here Carl, same here.
I like your choice of wording while describing basementals mod lmao
This is a great list, and I use most of these. Took me hours to find and compile on my own. I’m glad it will be easier for people to find them all now.
I also like the Cult mod and Royalty mod.
Kawaiistacie Explorer Mod is AWESOME!
Also, MCC Autonomy Scan is great if you don't want your Sims to wash dishes in the bathroom. Click on the sink, and de-select the "wash dishes" action.
These are all great mods. I have an extensive mod folder. Although I may complain when there's an update, these mods made my game playable.
Thanks Carl!
RIP Scumbumbo, Sims would never have gotten where it is today without you. You paved the way for many of us in the modding community as a whole. You will not be forgotten.
"Organized group of like-minded individuals who make a living selling treats to adults!"
Oooh! Retailers! But better!
Thank you for using my build in your video ! ( Extorium. ) loved the mods you where showing definitely gonna try some out !
once again a freaking top notch video sharing info I didn't know I needed and now cannot live without. A few I've used before but man a lot of these I just have to try out.
So Snowy Escape is taking the Slice of Life mod with its 16 personalities? Didn't know about Scumbumbo's passing. He has some great mods. Also shoutout to LittleMsSam with the wonderful mod fixes to everything.
Have I told you how awesome you are as a creator ?
I have a bunch of mods, but it’s like I never could find a video for a summary of each. Currently watching this as I play through them on sims ❤️
comes to learn about mods, leaves realizing I never knew I could click "X" to stay later in Get to Work.
Thank you, Carl! I've been on a mod downloading spree lately and it has so improved my Sims 4 gameplay, but I'm always wanting more. You are an absolute legend!
21:02 kawaiistacie has a mod called the "Explore Mod" (I think that's the name lol) that's kinda like this that lets you go into rabbit holes with other sims to build relationships, except it also has sims asking you on the phone to go places, skill building places, gambling, shopping, dates, and just a TON of other stuff, it's one of my favs and I 100% recommend
Gambling? Sounds interesting!
VIDEO SUGGESTION: Hi Carl, what about doing a video on the various walkable paths in the different worlds? While playing in Brindleton Bay during Winter, I was amazed at the awesome walkable paths! Thru tunnels, woodsy areas private viewing areas/beaches with amazing views. Unlike some areas where you walk to the end of the block and are forced to turn around. And as a personal wish for the game, would be great if the SIMS could remember things, like remember names, remember how you partied the night before together, just be more familiar vs. having amnesia. :-P
there is a mod called realistic reactions, its actually really good! for example, when a child's parents are arguing in front of them, the child will have a mood that is saying they aren't happy about the argument.
Hey Carl, I really appreciate you putting a list of these together so we can get a visual representation of what each mod does. Thanks for sharing
**It would also be really cool if you made a follow up video on how to fix your mods folder/better ways to find which mods are causing script errors/and how to find which mods are conflicting with each other
Cuz you know how us modders be......
Try a 50/50 approach. It's not quick, but it might be one of the quicker ways. Take out half your mods, load the game, and see if the error happens. If it doesn't, it's one of the mods you took out. If it does, it's one of the ones left. You keep cutting by half and reloading until you find it.
A great video! Thank you! I use or have tried several you mentioned. My mod musts are: MC Command Center; UI Cheats; Faster eating; and “no intro”. Another must is LittleMsSam’s Quick Shower/Bath! She puts out so many great mods that I use.
KawaiiStacie Slice of life is a mod I'd recommend to people if they only ever want 1 mod it adds so much to the game
As usual, pure GOLD in this video. Your videos are a reference for me and your reviews ultimately determine if I’ll buy a pack or download a mod.
I love that you give your honest opinion and you’re very clear.
Standing ovation, this video will help me reinvigorate my gameplay experience and it help me learn a bunch of stuff as well.
Great job!
This is the best thing I've stumbled across in months! Love the long list and over half I've never hear of before. Thank you so much for taking time to make this.
Now that you've given us an exhaustive list of mods, give us a video about which mods will conflict with others.
All of Bienchen's mods are amazing. So many small and big fixes. Unstrange Strangerville is my favourite.
In-addition I wish we could have daycare in Sims 4 without using any mods! Everything you are mentioning is Awesome!
RIP Scumbumbo..... you played a big part in the Sims community
You’re very smart. Thank you for all the tips. I love playing sims but it’s getting boring now so I’m glad I learned about mods.
Thank you Carl! Thank you for your hard work and time putting this list together! It is much appreciated! ❤
the only mod you need is wicked whims, I swear to god when I discovered this it kept me busy for about 2 weeks lmfao
Really? I found that after only a minute I was completely done with the mod.
I will play with the attraction system and pregnancy aspects forever. Everything else I don't really use.
Yer Wicked, lol ;)
@Artoria Pendragon I have a love/hate relationship with the pancakes chemistry system. It can be a little rough introducing the mod into an already existing relationship. A couple that were crazy about one another, now have okay or bad chemistry. I know you can change the preferences but it's an ordeal, lol. If there was some way for the mod to recognise an already created/married couple and keep them compatible it would certainly make the mod much more user friendly. Just my thoughts...
I think Slice of Life has been my favorite so far, can't imagine playing without it
You're a treasure to our community - both helpful, and entertaining to watch. I've been playing a lot with SoL - have never heard of Basementals so I'm going to install that now... pray for me HAHA
Thank you for your guides . I love these list and would LOVE A PART 2 with even more mods!!!
I know this vid is a year old but there are always new things to learn from you and I'll be damned if you don't always make me laugh. Thank you for your existence.
I have a great mod that blends in the animations from moods to the walking animation of the sims, it looks amazing in the game, it gives this smooth actually natural feeling when you're playing.
I know I can't play TS4 without LittleMissSam, KawaiStacie, Weerbesu, MCCC, and all other awesome modders with their awesome creations.
I just want one thing.. and that's a Tool which we download and check updates of our mods and cc's.. searching a mods and cc's.. not going arround in 1029019201 sites for them.. everything in one place.. If modders and creators unite and someone create a software which will help everyone... Also that tool can scan for mods/cc which cant' work together, you can scan for duplicates etc... to work on that principle.. no need visual of that items, is enough to be name lists.. mark several items to delete to.. do this and that etc..
Wow, this is a great list. Definetly gonna try a lot of these.
"Work from home astronaut"... ok i think thats enough internet for today.
I have a mod that wasn't on the list that I love. Jamjar's Omegaverse mod. I know not everyone likes omegaverse, but for those of us who do, it's the absolute best one out there, and it offers a lot of fun options for gameplay. Also, thank you so much for making this list, I super appreciate it. I didn't know about at least half of these and I'm now going to go add to my mod list!!
I love slice of life!!! The townies always invite me over to their house for a movie hangout or if im dating someone they invite me to stay the night at their place..., also there are so many apps that up your skill level which is so handy when you need to up your skill but dont have a chess table so you play chess on an app! You can send diferent texts and even ask for pancakes! The pancakes get delivered to you and you have a whole stack of them. I cant imagine sims 4 without it it just adds so much to the game.
You know, I've watched so many of your videos and *always* the first thing I notice is how lovely your manner of speaking is.
I was thinking the other day I miss chickens and necture making. I really do need to check the mods available more offten! Thanks for the list
Thanks for taking the time to put this together and make the video. These mods make the game as much fun for grown ups as kid and teens. It's a great benefit to all of us that people exercise their skills in making these mods. It also speaks to the brilliance behind the game engine that makes it possible. No wonder it's a multi billion dollar enterprise.
I love how respectfully you shade Sims 4 while ultimately uplifting the amazing mod community. Masterfully done!
Thanks Carl! Alot of these have been thoughts in the back of my head. Like "what if theres a mod for this?" And never knew what to search. So thank you!
The fact that there are tons of CC creators for The Sims is the appeal to the game. It's always been that way, going back to the early days of Sims 1 and 2, and that's what's kept me coming back.
Wow such amazing works. It feels that maybe with all these mods the game should be complete!
It's funny I'm watching this right after they added bunk beds and faster eating, but way too late..!
All these years I've been playing on and off with no mods at all, because I thought it to be a tedious process. Last month I got Really bored with the game. I added wicked whims but it's not enough. I'm definitely adding many of these to my game in hopes of making it interesting for me again!
Ah, the moment I intend to re-install sims 4 and need to put new mods in, you have a new video out. Your channel is a godsend.
“Observe how this sim takes *two bites in a row*”
A,m dead. Also, need this mod.
Unless I missed it you missed the cooking overhaul mod. That gives us new recipes and so many food items plus it fixes prices. It's a must
You listed so many of my staples, but that magic mod??? News to me, and I WILL be getting it ASAP. The biggest letdown in RoM was the lackluster spells and magic system but I've loved magic in the sims since TS1. That mod will be a new staple for sure.
Thank you so much! I will try a bunch of these to make my legacy challenge a little more realistic. Appreciate all your work. I would be lost without your guides.
Thanks for including my Sorcerer mod! I appreciate it. Did another update recently to add even more to it with a "Reality Arts" skill (more of a "neutral" focus).
This list really is a gold mine for someone like me who's just stepping out of vanilla gameplay zone. Thank you! 😊
I play on PS4 and can’t use mods but I love watching what I’m missing out on! 💕 Thanks Carl! 😉
I am just 5 minutes into the video and you have already SO many mods I want to install now even though I have never played with mods before
I have never been much for using mods, but after watching this video, I think I'm going to have to get some of the ones shown here. Very informative and useful! Thanks!
Yesss thank you so much! I love mods that improve gameplay and there are so many here! I can't help but shake my head at the fact that modders had to step up to fix the game with stuff that wasn't included when the devs had the chance (or just left out for 6 years...), but I'm so grateful for the modders' work! One that wasn't on the list that I like to use is Zerbu's Simology mod that let's you set what emotion certain activities will give specific sims and you can give them weaknesses like slowing down energy increase and speeding up bladder decrease.
Downloading and trying out mods is literally 75%+ of the Sims 4 content lol
Wow, lots go good info in this video. I've not yet used mods in Sims 4, but I did use a few in Sims 3 (mostly nraas stuff). I think the most useful mod for Sims 3 (for my gameplay) was that one that enabled people to use the toilet or shower and not be bothered if someone walked in.
I've tried soo many times to play without mods so that my laptop doesn't explode... but I just can't! 👩💻🔥
Sooo thankful for all of the incredibly talented Modders out there carrying this whole game!! 🙏
For anyone who's interested, Turbodriver just today (?) released a SFW version of some of the Wicked Whims features (not the streamer version, but a whole new mod for people who don't use WW), if you ever make a sequel to this video (which would be cool, since as of now there's basically no point to even installing TS4 if you're not going to use mods, RIP console players) I don't use WW but it looks like so far some features aren't in the SFW version like shaving, but the attraction, personality enhancement, and menstrual cycle systems are. And improved reputation seems to be coming up, I don't know if that's already in WW or not.
Looking at that super hero mod low key got me wishing there was a mod that allowed Sims to go Super Saiyan 😂
Thanks for the tips Carl! I've since downloaded Social Interactions and Faster Eating/Drinking. Has revolutionised my game already!
miramira made me pause this video for over an hour going through all of their content & their linked content to related creators, because OMG so gorgeous. I was SO happy to see how inclusive these creators have become over the years. It made me feel like I was back on IMVU
the one mod that i also always install is the random traits and aspirations by graycurse. It takes away the control over the traits and aspirations and gives them a random one when they age up !
For a second I was lost when he talked about the no intro mod. Then I realised that i've had the no intro mod installed on my game for so long that i'd forgotten that Sims 4 has an intro !
"Scumbombo died in 2019-" I'm sorry, WHAT?
Been looking for a comprehensive list like this. Thanks!
