'Mods' short for modifications, are user-created files which modify or add more to the regular game. Since Sims 2 was released, fans have been creating mods and sharing them online.
The options for mods are pretty diverse. I've seen everything from one for The Sims 2 which added horses to the game (and yes, Sims could even ride them— and this was way before the Pets expansion pack added horses to The Sims 3), to one for The Sims 3 which added in a working ferris wheel. Some are much less complex, just restructuring the regular game files to add in or change things (like a Sims 3 mod which allows late night bars to stay open 24 hours instead of closing at 2 a.m., or the most famous mod of all, the one that removes the pixelation on nude Sims and replaces it with body parts).
Whether you're new to the modding world or can't run a Sims game without custom content (CC) and mods, here are some great Sims 4 mods that every Simmer will want to add to their game!
This article will be regularly updated to include the newest/coolest mods!
How to Install Mods in 'The Sims 4'
Before we get down to the nitty gritty, you should probably learn how to install a mod into your game.
The Sims 4 makes it easier than ever: simply download the mod in question, unzip the files (they will typically end in .package), and then drag and drop them into the 'Mods' folder, which is already located in your Sims files (navigate to Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods to locate).
Some mods have more complex instructions, so make sure to read the 'Installation Notes' when downloading.
If you're still stuck with installing mods or need help with troubleshooting, be sure to check out my article, How to Install Custom Content and Mods in The Sims 4 (PC & Mac).
Though all of these mods have been tested and should work functionally with your game, be aware that 3rd party content could potentially cause damage. Always download from trusted sites/users who have tested their content before sharing, and always be sure to backup your game files BEFORE installing mods and other CC. If you do run into any issues after installation, remove the mod from your game and consider informing its creator about the issue.
1. MC Command Center
I can't play my game without this one- and it's a BIG one in the Sims community. MC Command Center is what we used to know as 'story progression,' which wasn't included in The Sims 4. It allows your neighborhood to grow and thrive without your direct interaction. Download MC Command Centerso your Sims can get married, have children, find jobs, and basically live their lives, even if you aren't playing with them.
You can also add in additional modules which will allow the game to clean up your neighborhood by deleting homeless Sims and ghosts, allowing you to set default makeup and clothes on townies, allows you to delete all vampires or aliens, plus a whole bunch of other options.
A lot of Simmers live by this mod, and I can see why: the vanilla game can feel a bit static when the other Sims in your neighborhood don't do anything without you; with the MC Command Center, life goes on whether or not you play each individual household.
2. Go to School Mod
These first two require the Get to Work expansion pack, but both are well worth adding if you've bought the EP. Thanks to Sims 4 modder extraordinaire, Zerbu, there are now a lot of ways to enjoy working and going to school in The Sims 4, the first of which is the Go to School mod.
If you've ever wanted to go to school with your children and teen Sims, here's your chance. The Go to School mod allows you to follow your children or teens to elementary or high school. It works similar to the active careers brought into the game with the GTW EP; as your child/teen Sim, you have to complete a number of tasks each day (like painting, socializing with classmates, playing instruments, etc.) to get a gold medal at the end of the day. Your school performance plays a part in your overall grade, so make sure your Sims are working their hardest in class.
Don't worry, though— it's not all work and no play. The mod adds in random events, like field trips (your Sims will randomly be transported somewhere in town, like a museum or park, and have 'field trip' activities to do instead), and school dress-up day, where all your classmates come dressed in costumes. You can even choose to skip school and play hooky, if you want— there's now a 'hooky' skill that your Sim can work on to evade school with no negative effects.
Download the Go to School modhere and make sure you follow ALL the directions on Zerbu's page to get it to work correctly, and don't forget to download an elementary and high school for your town. You can also find my CC-free school creations under the gallery by searching 'brittpinkie' as well. This link will bring you to the newest version, V4, which includes new interactions, NPCs, a teaching career and a lot more :)
If you want to play without Zerbu's mod, read my article How to Make a Functioning School Using Get Together's Club System in The Sims 4.
Have you ever downloaded Mods into your Sims games?
Many of the previous games had the ability to add new food. Until recently, The Sims 4 modders hadn't figured it out, but now they have. Custom Food Interactions is the mod you need to add new foods to your game! With it, you can download a plethora of choices, like ramen or udon, mini pizzas, soups, dumplings, or breads.
Note: You can browse ModTheSims for foods to add, but make sure you have the base mod, Custom Food Interactions, installed in your game FIRST, in order for it to work.
Continuing on with the food theme, it's definitely worth highlighting these two mods by the super-talented modder, icemunmun.
The first of the two is the Functional Canning Station. This mod adds in the Canning Station from the Sims 3 and gives your Sims the ability to can 15 different preserves (everything from honey spread to mango chutney), which give off some unique buffs when your Sims consume them! There's also a 10-level Canning Skill associated with the mod! This is a great mod for anyone who liked the Canning Station from The Sims 3 or who is looking for a new activity for their Sims to enjoy in the game.
icemunmun also brought back The Sims 3's cotton candy machine! This mod brings 10 new cotton candy flavours and buffs to go with all of them.
It's definitely worth checking out all of icemunmun's mods, as she does lots of nice food-related ones. You can never have enough food in the game!
All iterations of The Sims games have come with careers created by the fans, but The Sims 4 is finally getting a few custom careers of its own. We do have to thank the talented Neia for creating her modding tool, which has allowed modders to easily create customer careers of their own. Here are some of my favourite custom careers:
- Coolspear1 hasn't created completely new careers, but instead did a major reworking of both the Scientist and Doctor careers included with Get to Work. It's best to just read the descriptions for a full explanation of all the things that were changed, but it's mostly things that will make the careers feel more realistic and seamless during gameplay (like increasing the chance of emergencies in the Doctor career, or adding more co-workers to both careers).
- I love the work from home mods by NoelleBelleFleur! She's taken the work at home mechanism which comes with the City Living expansion pack and applied it to several base-game careers, including Astronaut, Tech Guru, Painter, Culinary, Entertainer, Business, Athlete, and Writer, so that your Sims can choose whether to go to work each day or stay home and complete tasks. Of course, City Living is required, but these are great additions to the game, especially for Sims who have children at home or other hobbies where they may need to have a more flexible home/work life.
- I have to mention Neia's career mods! She's created several new 'realistic' careers for the game, like Law Career, Education Career, Architect, Military and even a Self-Employment Career. These are some great options for players who enjoy more realistic game play, rather than having Sims who have the outlandish sort of jobs that come in the game (I mean, come on- not everyone grows up to be an astronaut or rock star!).
- More new careers are coming out each day! Check out ModTheSims for custom careers like Game Developer, Adventurer, Real Estate, Hacker, Nursing, Florist, and Tarot Card Reader! Meanwhile, don't forget checking out SSSVitlans' career tag on Tumblr; there's tons of cool careers there too from different modders, including Talk Show Host, Mortician, Dog Walker and Photographer!
AdBlocker Is Your Friend!
Modders and CC creators have increasingly begun to upload their content onto their own sites instead of ModTheSims (for many reasons, but that's another article). There's nothing wrong with that, but you need to be careful, as some creators hide their download links behind a thing called AdFly, or host their downloads on really spammy sites. The best thing is to use AdBlocker when downloading; it'll keep you safe from viruses or overly spammy AdFly pages!
6. Road to Fame Mod
Want to give your Sims the lifestyle of the rich and famous? Then try out Sacrificial Road to Fame mod! This mod adds tons of new gameplay, including skills (Simstagram Skill), fame levels, buffs, new interactions and animations, fans and paparazzi and more!
This mod is really fun and in-depth due to all the cool abilities Sacrificial created for it. It feels more like an official expansion pack due to the depth, and is definitely a good pack for anyone who misses the celebrity elements from The Sims 3. Sacrificial also updates the mod regularly (and if you subscribe to his Patreon page, you can get updates as soon as he releases them) and adds new, fun elements.
Are you frustrated that your cats and dogs aren't playable in The Sims 4? Well, you can download The Sims 4 Studio's Playable Pets Mod and play as your cat and dog! Of course, you'll need The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs expansion pack for this to work, but this mod unlocks the ability to select your cat or dog as a playable character in the game.
It does have some basic interactions that you can do as a pet, such as 'investigate' or 'perform routine', but I like this mod because it allows you to select your pet and stop them from doing certain interactions, force them do interactions (like eat, sleep, play, etc.), and you can actually look at their needs, which was previously locked without the mod.
This is a must-have mod for anyone with the Cats & Dogs EP!
If you miss the fairies from The Sims 3, don't worry- talented modder, Nyx has brought them back in a new and unique way with their Fairies mod! This mod adds the ability to play as a fairy in The Sims 4!
You can have wings of different colors, can cast magic auras, meditate, 'fly', and more! Nyx worked really hard on this mod and it shows- there's tons of buffs, new interactions, abilities and fun elements which makes it feel like an exciting addition to the game.
If you're looking for another supernatural-themed mod, then you should definitely try out the Become a Sorcerer Mod by Triplis!
This mod allows your Sims to become a sorcerer (either good or bad!), and gives them the ability to cast spells! You can manipulate the freewill of other Sims, work on the Black Arts Skill or the White Arts Skill, choose to devote yourself to the Light or Dark side, have a magical connection between other Sims, and even Teleport!
This is another really well developed mod with tons of abilities, traits, skills, and more that'll give you hours of additional game play!
I don't know about you, but I've been dying for The Sims 4 to create a beach vacation world. Thankfully, while we wait for the official beach world to come out (if it ever does), we can play with Nandos and SimsFans' Tropical Getaway Mod!
This mod needs The Sims 4 Outdoor Retreat game pack to work, and once you install it, it'll transform Granite Falls into Granite Beach! The mod replaces the woodsy exterior of Granite Falls into a tropical destination, with beaches, waterfalls and volcanoes in the distance, sand on the ground, and even new beach-themed lots. Zerbu (the above creator of the Go To School mod) also made new traits for this mod ('Relaxer' and 'Beach Junkie'), and there's even new CAS clothing that will look great on your beach-going Sims.
I really love this mod! I don't keep it in my game all the time, but I love putting it in when my Sims want to take a tropical vacation and relax on the beach!
*Please note that while the mod's download page is in German, the mod itself is in English!
Sims 4 modders have been creating custom traits and aspirations for quite some time now, and there are TONS out there. You can browse the traits and aspirations tags on ModTheSims or SSSVitlans' Tumblr, but here are some of my favourite custom traits and aspirations, that I think are worth a mention:
- For some reason, Get To Work didn't include any aspirations to go with its new careers, but uber-talented modder, Konansock fixes that with his Get to Work Active Career Aspirations Mod! This mod adds 4 new aspirations to the game, which go with the Get to Work careers, Detective, Doctor and Scientist, and a bonus Frankenstein aspiration. All of these aspirations come with new interactions and buffs, and really add some new elements and fun to the Go to Work careers!
- Maybe this isn't a very 'glamourous' one, but it definitely adds realism: the Acne Prone Trait! This mod/trait gives your Sims acne breakouts, and the ability to bathe to remove them. I think this is a great one for teen Sims, and it's just a really fun, realistic detail for the game.
- jackboog1 recreated several different aspirations from The Sims 2 to the Sims 4, including the Romance, Knowledge, Family and Grow Up Aspirations! These are great new aspirations to add to your game, especially for any Sims 2 fans who miss the aspirations from The Sims 2.
- Piebaldfawn created an Autism Spectrum Disorder trait! As someone who has worked in the Autism community for years, this is one that's near and dear to my heart. It gives your sims different buffs (like 'sensory overload' and 'enjoying routine') and it takes these Sims longer to form friendships. They will also have special whims that sometimes people with ASD might have, like 'be alone' or 'question emotion.' This is a really special trait, and I particularly love the thought that went into it.
- Finally, while the Random Traits & Aspirations mod by graycurse doesn't add any NEW mods or aspirations to the game, it does add the ability to randomize traits and aspirations when creating Sims. This is great for someone who has a hard time picking and choosing aspirations or traits to give their Sims, or for those of us (like myself) who just use the same traits over and over again, essentially recreating the same Sims with each new game play.
This one doesn't add to the actual game play, but it's definitely a must-have if you're a generations-type player, or anyone who plays the game for more than a few days.
Here's the thing: The Sims 4 has a huge glitch in it, where it culls (deletes) Sims from your neighborhood bin. This happens after an in-game week, or when your population reaches over 200. The game does this to keep things running smoothly, which seems great in theory, but the problem comes with whom it chooses to cull— anyone your Sims haven't interacted with lately— so that might be old friends, old family, or even ghosts. This causes a bunch of problems; relationships already decay quickly in the game, so that best friend you haven't called in a few weeks? Well, she's deleted now. Oh, and that ghost in your family tree? Well, now it's been culled from the game and that spot in your family tree is vacant :(
The No Culling Mod (again, by the talented Neia) does exactly what it says, and it's essential for anyone who wants to keep their family trees intact and play with all the Sims they've created or befriended. You can easily do your own culling by periodically going through the neighborhood menu and deleting Sims manually (and you can keep an eye on your population by downloading this small Get Town Population mod). This is a must-have for any player, in my opinion!
..well, you asked for it. I've finally added one of the most popular, albeit risque mods for the Sims 4 to this page- turbodriver's Wicked Whims. I'll be completely honest with you- I do not use this mod in my game (woohoo under the covers is just fine with me, haha), but if you want to have more fully animated X-rated options for woohoo in the game, this is the mod for you.
Note: You must be 18 and older to visit the site!
Retired Mods
As I update this page, I'll be 'retiring mods' from the list. That doesn't mean that they're not still worth downloading or that they're broken; it simply means that there are newer, cooler mods to download at the moment. Here's some of the mods that I once featured here, which are still worth adding to your game:
Tags: Bengali Hits Baul Songs JBL Ca-X50 Gain Danch Dhamaka Mix Dj Subha Music Present Dj Mp3 Song Download, Bengali Hits Baul Songs JBL Ca-X50 Gain Danch Dhamaka Mix Dj Subha Music Present Dj Full Mp3 Song Download, Bengali Hits Baul Songs JBL Ca-X50 Gain Danch Dhamaka Mix Dj Subha Music Present Movie Dj Mp3 Songs Download, Bengali Hits Baul Songs JBL Ca-X50 Gain Danch Dhamaka Mix Dj Subha Music Present 192 Kbps Dj Mp3 Songs Free Download, Bengali Hits Baul Songs JBL Ca-X50 Gain Danch Dhamaka Mix Dj Subha Music Present 320 Kbps Dj Mp3 Songs Free Download.
Teen/YA Romance: This one adds the ability for teens and young adults to have romances and unlocks all the teen romance options for teens/young adults in relationships. There's no Woo Hoo or Try For Baby, but you can still Mess Around or Exchange Promise Rings.
No Mosaic/Censor: Just as the name implies, this one takes away the blur/censor which appears whenever your Sims shower, use the toilet, breastfeed, or streak. It doesn't alter gameplay, except cosmetically.
If you're looking to add realistic genitals to your Sims, I recommend these:
- is there a dog walker that can be hired to walk your dogs regularly in The Sims 4?Yes, there sure is. Check out this Dog Walker & Dog Jogger mod by LittleMsSam: littlemssam.de/dogwalker/.57

- I am so excited!! I was a avid Sims 2 player back in the day!! My game was filled with custom content which I loved!! I never got into Sims 3 because I didn’t wanna give up Sims 2..I had some awesome stuff in that game. Well I’m ready to try Sims 4-especially since I found your page! My daughter plays it & it looks really interesting! I’m gonna miss my Sims having their own cars but there are some other pretty cool things in Sims 4 that might make up for it!! Thanks for explaining everything & I look forward to playing again!!!
- I remember downloading a free trial of Sims 4 and being really disappointed with it. Some of the mods sound like they should be included in the game already, such as the MC Command Center. However, reading this has gotten me all nostalgic for the older games, so I might give Sims 4 a try and keep these mods bookmarked to add after playing the original version for a bit. Thanks for the information.
- You going to have to school me back into the game cousin.. I stopped playing mid Sims ..
- Are all the links safe here? Or are anyone of them known to have viruses or Malware?
- Dang, and here I thought I already had all the must-have mods. Great list, I'm off to try those I don't yet have (which is all of yours and a couple more). I don't think I'd know how to play without MCCmdCtr anymore.
- I would really like some more custom careers or the ability where you can make your own job in-game
- Not about the page. Just, I though YA/Teen was teen pregnancy! I need to read more.
- WTH? Im trying to download MC Command Center and it leads me to an error 403 page that asks you to sign in and when I did, it gives me the same prompt. I JUST want the sims I'm not actively playing to PROGRESS!!!
- Very interesting article on Sims 4 game play. I never heard of these games. Your article provides me some wonderful information about these virtual video games. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.
- I really want a mod where you can put up children for adoption, and a mod where children can live on their own without adults or teens. Anyone know where any are?
- Any teen pregnancy mods? Or something of the sort
- This was really helpful! Most of the mods you've listed are very good. I thank you so very much for this. Keep up the good work!
- I totally agree with Muir, kind of like in Freeplay
- Do you know what would make a GREAT mod? A TODDLER! A little human being who crawls and make little cute laughters. I dont make mods myself, but hope that this could inspire some of you who does :)
- Are there any MODs that allow tragic life events? Gameplay can get a little boring without unforeseen tragedy.
- If I could make a mod, I'd definately make the mod that Nicoxman is kind of suggesting. Either that or just unlock simple romantic actions (flirt, kiss, etc etc) for children.. dunno why?
- I'd like to see a child romance mod where children can have boyfriends or girlfriends. They can't go on dates or anything but they can kiss (peck on lips), embrace, or cuddle on the couch. That'd be fun!
- LOVED this article. This was very helpful for someone who plays the Sims 4 a lot. Thanks!Kayluna.blogspot.com
For years, game developers have strived to make simulation-style games more and more detailed. Each new generation of games features yet another layer of realism that leads us gamers to wonder with increasing concern whether we ourselves are living in a simulation. Still, for reasons that largely have to do with budget, corporate release schedules, ESRB rating constrictions, and just general lapses in creativity, the game always seems to have a couple things missing, things that could easily be added in, and things that would vastly improve the quality of the game. In the gaming world, we call these things 'mods.'
Leave it to the gaming community to take a great game and make it even better. From legendary RPGs like Skyrim and Fallout to classics like The Sims, a true testament to the quality of a game is how passionately the user base tries to change it. Whether you're an experienced god of virtual beings or have only heard about floating green triangles in passing, these mods are sure to have you loading up your little microcosm, along with a few little tweaks. It's truly incredible the kind of mods that are available, and how creative the fans of this series can be.
You can be sure of this: the closer we get to achieving godlike powers in The Sims, the further we stray from it in our own reality. And with that said, let's go to our first mod..

24 A Different Kind Of Dancing
Because dance crazes from many years ago never truly fade away, it's no surprise they made their way into The Sims 4. Dancing is already part of the game, but the moves are, for lack of a less strange phrase, super basic.
Add a little flair to your dance parties with a variety of ever-improving dance fad mods.
You'll find them over at the creator's blog, along with some fan-made videos of the software in action. It's really only a matter a time until they have a mod for the floss, and surprisingly there's nothing we could find that allows you to whip.
23 Make Them Remember You
There's only so much acting prowess we can expect out of fake digital people. When fellow fake digital people perish in the game, the reactions of those supposedly closest to them don't quite react with the grief of a devastated relative, but more of a detachedly upset distant acquaintance.
Well, in case this has ever bothered you in the past, or if you're just generally a fan of over-dramatic reactions, then this is the mod for you. It'll make your character react much more intensely when someone finally meets their end, make the event seem much more realistic, albeit sad.

22 Anything Is A Hat If You're Brave Enough
Caps, beanies, and fedoras are all well and good. But only true pioneers of headwear would wear a full sofa as a hat, or a canvas painting they crafted on their head as a testament to progressive fashion. Not many would be brave enough to achieve this in their day to day lives (we dare you to try) but luckily there's a nifty mod in The Sims4 lets you try it in cyberspace. The Objects As Hats mod has an ambiguous name so let me explain how it works; essentially, it lets you take any object in the game and turn it into a hat.
21 Spacetime Is A Social Construct
Has your Sim ever been late for a wedding? Are they ever out past curfew? Do they spend too much time at home, unwilling to travel? Solve all these problems are more with the Teleportation Mod! Updated with game patches, this mod allows you to teleport any Sim to a given location instantly.
It all revolves around a statue. You can use this unique item to summon a Sim to that location, or send them somewhere else. It can often be used for convenience, getting a Sim from one place to another. But maybe one of them is being really annoying and you wish they would just go away. In that case you'll want to hit that 'just go away' button and they'll be zapped to a random location elsewhere!

20 No Need To Hit The Gym
It seems, for whatever reason, people have complained that the Sims they send to the gym have been getting fit a little too easily. More understandably, people complain that their more sedentary Sims have been putting on pounds almost too quickly. It probably comes down to an inaccurate fitness calibration in the original game, and as usual it was up to the players to fix it.
As such, they've come up with a mod that lets you customize how quickly or slowly your Sims get fit or fat. Now you can keep them from getting overweight too quickly or, if you're a gym rat in real life, make your Sims work as hard as you did to get as swole as you are now.
19 Woo-Hoo!
To make the game more family-friendly, certain aspects of the game were made more discreet. Any seasoned or older player knows exactly what's going on, but the younger demographic might not.
And appealing to the latter required some censorship in more ways than one.
But to make it a win-win situation, Turbodriver created a collaborative and detailed mod to flesh out some things that aren't fleshed out in the game. One look at their features and you'll be amazed how realistic the whole affair really is, both in terms of animation/visuals and simulation-related consequences.

18 Male Pregnancy
Nature has certain laws explained by science, but who made these laws? In real life we may never know, but in The Sims it was a guy named Will Wright, followed by hundreds of modders who wrote new laws and rewrote old ones. And when you give people that much power, you get things far removed from our natural order like male pregnancy.
To be fair, this mod was created to support same-gender couples having children by natural means in the game (i.e., two guys or two girls can have children each other). So I suppose as long as intentions are good and progressive, the modding community has nothing to worry about.
17 When One Relationship Just Isn't Enough
If you're tired of your wife getting angry at your other girlfriend, your husband from seeing you with that other guy all the time, of if you just want that sweet privilege of having a bunch of relationships, then this is the mod for you.
Basically, it allows your Sims to have multiple partners, and removes all those annoying jealousy reactions and consequences. There are also updates that further deepen the level of polygamy you can achieve. There are also some other strange features which we'll get into later, features that would probably make the average player too uncomfortable if they were in the base game.

16 When You Need Extra Emotional Support
There are times when a person just needs a hug. All of us at some point have experienced a hug that just made all out troubles melt away, but we've also felt those without any passion or empathy whatsoever. Tragically, hugs in The Sims far too often fall in the latter category.
Luckily, for those of us who get deeply attached to digital beings, we have this mod. It basically changes the hug animation and turns it into more of a loving embrace. It's a small adjustment, to be sure, but seeing it in action is all the emotional fulfillment you'll need.
15 When You Get Too Much Emotional Support
And further down the spectrum of human emotion, we have a mod that intensifies every mood a Sim can feel, and affects their actions accordingly. Many players have felt that the Sims acted a little too tame.
Well, this Emotional Overcharge mod makes it so moods are more quickly intensified and harder to lull back to normality.
A scorned wife might do something a little more dangerous than just yell at her husband. A guy in love will probably make a huge fool of himself. And a child throwing a tantrum will be completely unpredictable.

14 More Realistic Body Types
We can't help but notice that the physical appearance of Sims, while fairly customizable, remain largely the same in terms of anatomy. The full range of human appearance is quite vast and variable. From calves to hips to shoulders, we come in all shapes and sizes!
In the spirit of such diversity, the community has created a body slider mod that allows you to fully customize the size of the aforementioned body parts and many more. Want to make a Kardashian? Want your Sim to look just like you? Maybe want a Sim to look like he skips leg day? All of these and more are possible with the right slider modifications.
13 Ever Wanted To Be Taller?
Speaking of body image, most Sims of a certain age seem to have a standard height, with little more room for customization. You can remedy this with the Height Slider mod, allowing you to change the height of a Sim to match your preferences, or perhaps make them proportional with the massive legs you gave them with the previous mod.
With a few uses of this mod, you'll see why the creators of the game didn't customize height. It makes interactive animations out of sync, and using a mod that doesn't account for these discrepancies, you'll find yourself giving some pretty awkward hugs.
advertising
12 Ever Wanted A Bigger Head?
You've changed your body, you've changed your height. The only thing still out of place is your now-oddly-shaped head. Luckily, the modding community has thought of everything and came up with another slider mod for head size. Not only can you expand and shrink to match your body, you can blow up the size to comically large proportions, to the point where the sliders on your body don't even matter anymore. If you're brave enough as a pioneer of Picasso-esque 3D modelling, you can create an entire community of walking bobbleheads and Funko Pop toys!
11 Make Every Kid Look Like Damien
If you're not the type who believes all children are little angels, and would previous the nature of their devilish antics be manifested in some physical form, then this oddly specific mod is exactly what would suit your oddly specific tastes.
It basically gives the option to add horns to children, customizable by color. You might want them for the aforementioned reasons, or you might just like adding a little quirk to the otherwise vanilla atmosphere of the game. If you really dislike children, you can apply this mod, and use it in conjunction with the next one on our list as you roleplay a demon hunter.

10 Suspiciously Close To Skyrim
As we all know, the most annoying kids of any video game come from Skyrim. Those in the Sims can be a close second depending on their mood, but the creators saw fit to make it impossible for the Grim Reaper to take them until they become adults.
Whether it's hunger, disease, or some accident, they'll end up surviving, anything to avoid a child ghost.
Well if you like your plots dark and your endings bittersweet, you can download Dr. Chillgood's mod that makes children susceptible to any ailment.
9 Be Free, My Children
Most games have a variety of mod flavors, from aesthetic changes to new features to outlandish abilities. But all games with a reputation for being heavily modded have those few key mods that so vastly improve the game, you would never go back to the vanilla version. In The Sims, one such mod is the MC Command Center.
As we know, The Sims 4 microverse doesn't really move forward unless you make something happen. But with MC Command Center, the world keeps spinning even without your direct intervention. Sims will get jobs, get married, make friends, and generally interact based on certain traits all on their own.

One thing notably missing from the base game is the concept of celebrity status. Wouldn't it be interesting to see how normal Sims react to those with celebrity status? Would they cheer and chase after a selfie? Would they faint from excitement? You can probably find out using a mod called Road To Fame which allows Sims to achieve celebrity status and all the interactions that come with it.
From paparazzi to fan levels, you'll live the life of a star.
You can even take it one step further and download premade models of real-life celebrities to play with in-game.
7 Never Forgotten
It's not really a glitch, but it is an inconvenient feature at times: if your lot gets overpopulated, the game will automatically delete Sims that haven't been used in a long time, essentially deleting them from the game without a trace. It can keep the game running smoothly but in practice it causes inconsistent relationships and loss of family history.
As a workaround, you can use the No Cull mod which prevents any automatic deletion of your Sims. This way, you keep all the relationships you think you might need, and can periodically cull on your own if it gets too overpopulated.

6 A Lannister Always..
We're not ones to judge, but sometimes a mod has no business being in a mainstream game. Then again, sometimes a virtual world is the only place to live out your strange, unhealthy dreams.
Normally, the game wouldn't allow romantic interactions between some people for obvious reasons. Now, trying to date someone without realizing the bond might be understandable, but downloading a mod that allows you to see other types of people is just wrong and I'm honestly not sure why I'm enabling it by telling you about it.
5 Control The Pets
It's wonderful that pets are a part of the game, but it's unfortunate that they cannot be directly controlled. Interactions are possible, but for the most part pets just wander around and follow their programming. Sometimes they'll do silly things like run away or put themselves needlessly in danger, and for such situations we have the Playable Pets Mod. Basically, it allows you to select pets as you would a playable character, and also adds some nifty interactions you can perform as a cat or dog.

4 Have More To Live For
When a new Sim is born/created, you have the option of choosing some life goal for them. After all, there needs to be some guiding thought in their provincial existence. As it turns out, even that isn't enough for the game to be interesting for some. And so they created the Random Traits & Aspirations mod. It doesn't add new aspirations to the game (as other story-related mods do), but it allows you to use new traits to create your own custom aspirations based on actions that can be taken in the game.
3 Maybe We're The Ones In A Simulation
With each new game, and each new mod, we get closer and closer to achieving hyper-realistic 3D models. And the better the game already looks, the more quality its mods are going to be. The Sims 4 is the latest in the franchise, and while it doesn't have some level of realism, the underlying animations and visuals are thematically cartoonish. Well for those who prefer to play the game not as an escape from reality but as an alternative, you have a wide variety of aesthetic mods that change the structure of Sims' models to give a more realistic appearance.

2 Go To School, Then Get To Work
Both the Go To School mod and the Active Career Aspirations mod require the Get To Work official expansion pack. The first allows you to send child Sims to school, where they must perform tasks like painting, playing an instrument, interacting with classmates, etc. These are then rated into a grade, and fits in perfectly with the Get To Work gameplay style. The second mod adds aspirations which weren't included in the expansion. It adds the Doctor, Detective, Scientist, and Frankenstein careers, each of which come with all new abilities and buffs. See, education and hard work can pay off!
1 Tropical Getaway
Something not too many people talk about is the world setting of The Sims games. You have your variety of town and city-related lots, customizable neighbors, and a few unique lore locations accessible through secret means. One of the more popular downloads is the Tropical Getaway Mod.
Much of this mod's appeal comes from beautiful visual detail and unique fun-in-the-sun style quests.
Some say it'll even make you feel like you're actually on the beach, and it's a great escape from the drudgery of normal life, both in the game and, y'know, real life.

I like my games to be realistic. That means people get naked. Naked people have nipples. And vaginas. And penises.
What's a good mod that gives me those?
No monstrously huge dicks, or boner dicks please. Just a simple, realistic, albeit aesthetically pleasing nudity skin. Ideally one that replaces the default skin so I don't have to recreate my sims. I'd rather avoid hairy ones for men, or at least have one with options. Same thing applies to pubic hair. Some is good, but no amazon rainforest of a bush, please.
Thanks to all.

When players modded the censors covering characters up in The Sims 4, they found that sims were pretty much Barbies underneath the clothes. Naturally, it was only a matter of time before someone took matters into their own hands and changed that. Warning: this post contains NSFW content.
The Sims 4 Already Has A Nudity Mod
Not everyone is a fan of the mosaic censors in The Sims--which is why it was only a matter of time…

Hardcore Sims players may know about the wide variety of nudity mods that have popped up since the 'no mosaic' mod—but in case you're not caught up, there are now mods that let your sims have penises, vaginas, areolas, and even pubic hair. The latter one, in conjunction with body hair, is important—sims still look a bit doll-like when it's just genitalia without hair, though obviously that type of bodyscape might be someone's particular preference.
In any case, you can view many of these mods here, in case you wanted to download them.

What's curious to me about these mods is that they reflect some of the userbase's desire to eroticize the game beyond what the developers include. The Sims isn't sexy enough! Woohooing feels so conservative. I mean, it's not even called sex, even though we all know that's what it is. Beyond that, there's something particularly fascinating about how the modders choose to depict genitals and breasts.
Sims modders, on this website at least, seem to have a preference for smaller, perfectly circular areolas, if not ones that almost blend in with the breast:

Attempts to make more 'distinct' ones look like this:

This last one is a modder's attempt to make a 'bigger' areola—but, it's still kind of on the small side. There are of course larger and darker areolas, but they seem to be rare:

Contemporary business 17th edition. If you live outside the EU, you will not be charged VAT and your final charge will be as shown on this site. UK rates will apply in other EU countries.
The sim above is also one that exhibits a 'darker' vagina according to the modder, for the record.
To what degree do these mods reflect a modder's personal preference? To what degree do they reflect societal expectations of what a perfect breast should look like, or standard conventions of beauty? It's worth noting that some of these areolas are modelled after actual people, like models. It's also worth noting that some mods only change the sims's upper or lower body—meaning some people selectively care about more realistic sim bodies. Having a realistic butt may not be as important as having realistic breasts to some people, it seems!

Obviously, these types of musings aren't limited to breasts. I had the same sort of questions running through my head while looking at the penis models that some modders have come up with, like this one:

But penis mods like these ones seem rarer than ones for breasts or vaginas, for whatever reason. Still, I can't help but wonder: why do the dicks look like this specifically? Is it preference? Beauty standards? Neither? Is it bad that my reaction was 'why are these so small?' (Yes, probably. I'm just being honest with my initial reaction, and if nothing else, it would be cool if there was a wider variety of dicks for people to download). Nevermind the size, though. The dicks look weird because they're so flat, right? Vaginas have the same problem, too—at least they do on this website.

UPDATE: I was sent this link, which includes a more natural-looking penis mod for the game. See the picture on the left. Not all Sims 4 nudity mods are alike!

I have seen some more variety floating around, like here, and here, but some of those mods can only be downloaded if you drop some money. So if you want a wider range of breasts, areolas, or pubic hair, you're going to have to pay a premium for it—or make it yourself, I guess.
Will simmers one day have a wider variety of genitals and breasts to choose from, without having to spend a cent? My gut says yes, but it's still interesting to see what the community has come up with thus far. There are bigger picture questions here, too. For example: what are the differences between nudity mods here, and ones in Skyrim? Do they serve the same purpose? Which are more detailed? It's all fascinating to think about.

Now that modders are making bodies more realistic, it's probably just a matter of time before modders start making mods that allow sims to have all sorts of different types of sex, as older Sims mods did. We'll keep you updated on that, too.
