      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.

    Quick note: I'm aware of Arnie's Brookheights open world project, forgot 3x to include a brief bit about it. It could certainly belong in this list... but I cannot test it, as it launches several days from posting. I'll cover this when it releases because it could definitely be huge and seems to have potential, I'm just focusing on mods that exist now and, at the same time, I'd like to make sure something is stable before I recommend it. Best of luck to that project, I just can't do anything with it right now and I messed up. I was feeling a bit tired when I meant to mention it toward the end.

    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.

      @merchantfan 3 년 전 +4

      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.

    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.

    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.

      @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 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.

    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

      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.
