Cheats and convenience functions
Cheats mit MC Command Center
Language:English, German |Latest update:December 2024 |Creator:deaderpool |Click here to download
Suitable for whom?Hand on heart: We've all cheated in The Sims. Whether the legendary “rosebud” cheat for great wealth, eliminating unwanted Sims or quickly filling up needs. Sometimes you just need a little help.
And for that, the MC Command Center is a must because it lets you take control of your game from one handy menu. Gone are the days of printed out cheat lists that you have to laboriously type into the console.
What's inside?
- Convenient menu that provides access to all important cheats
- Direct control over your Sims' age, needs, finances and relationships
- Ability to let Sims die and choose the manner of death
- Ability to impregnate Sims and set all parameters (gender, parents, status).
Free color selection for hair and clothes with Color Sliders
Language:English |Latest update:December 2024 |Creator:thepancake1, CruelYukii |Click here to download
Suitable for whom?Do you remember the good old days of The Sims 3? When you could use color sliders to color clothing any color you wanted and not just have the choice between washed-out beige and inappropriate green for a sweater? When you could still have blonde hair in all shades and not have to resort to... well, yellow?
The Sims 4 left out this mechanic for some unknown reason, but the Color Sliders mod brings it back! You can adjust color, brightness and saturation as desired and create new colors for your Sims creations.
What's inside?
- Color sliders for hair and clothes
- Adjustment of hue, brightness and saturation
- Easily save self-created colors
Posen mit Pose Player and Teleporter
Language:English |Latest update:November 2018 |Creator:Andrew's Studio |Click here to download
Suitable for whom?If you want even better screenshots of your Sims for videos, storyboards or simply for your private pleasure, then you can't avoid the Pose Player and Teleporter. It provides the basic framework for thousands upon thousands of CC poses that you can easily download and apply to your Sims.
This way you can depict large group photos, couple pictures and situations on pieces of furniture such as swings, beds, chairs and much more. Whether it's an argument, warm hugs or solo poses - with the help of the mod and numerous pose packs it's finally possible. The mod should still work and is one of the most popular pose players. However, players occasionally report problems with current updates.
What's inside?
- Basic framework for numerous CC poses for your Sims
- Teleporter statue that makes correctly placing your Sims a breeze
Size differences for your Sims
Language:English |Latest update:November 2021 |Creator:MERRY CHRISTMAS1 |Click here to download
Suitable for whom?Normally in The Sims all adults come in one size. This can be annoying if your Sim lady wants to date a tall, tanned and good-looking six-foot man. Or vice versa! The size slider in this mod helps and gives some Sims a growth spurt (or a shrinking treatment). But be careful, according to the creator, kissing, for example, can look a bit awkward. Well, let's blame it on nerves.
What's inside?
- Height slider for your Sims
More realistic life simulation
Illness and health with slice of life
Language:English |Latest update:October 2024 |Creator:KawaiiStacie |Click here to download
Suitable for whom?For many people, The Sims is simply too harmless. Because the series leaves out some topics that are part of real life. This includes alcohol and other drugs, but also health issues such as acne, illness and menstruation. So if you want to achieve a more realistic life simulation, you will find many new challenges in Slice of Life.
There are also different personality types for your Sims, the turn-ons and turn-offs that you can get out ofknows and special talents, similar to. You can switch all aspects of the mod on and off as you wish and create your own experience.
What's inside?
- Numerous illnesses and health issues
- Drugs including alcohol
- Turn-on and turn-off for your Sims
- More beauty and fashion such as styling and skincare routines
- New memory system in which Sims remember things like breakups, first kisses or parents' separation
- You can be spontaneously invited to parties or activities
- More smartphone options
Emotions with Meaningful Stories
Suitable for whom?Who doesn't know it? Your Sim's great love has just passed away and after a ten-minute mourning period he sees a really cute vase and he has the day of his life. Meaningful Stories improves The Sims 4's mood system and adds realism. This means your Sims will no longer go from being sad to death to exulting so quickly.
The "True Happiness" system also ensures that you only feel true happiness when something exceptionally beautiful happens - like the first kiss or a promotion. The mod is definitely a challenge for experienced players, but also offers a helpful in-game tutorial.
What's inside?
- More realistic mood intermediate levels
- »True Happines«-System
- In-game tutorial
New holidays and events with Special Holidays
Suitable for whom?The Sims 3 had many functions that no longer made it into Sims 4 - and that we sorely miss today. This also includes the numerous holidays and events that found their way into the game with the generation addon, among other things. The Special Holidays mod now brings numerous new events and holidays into the game.
These include, among other things, a summer festival with fireworks and a barbecue, a family festival with gifts and shared stories, a wellness day about self-care and health, a spooky festival with Halloween costumes or a Green Day about environmental protection.
Be careful, the mod is only compatible with new households and save states and also requires the seasonal expansion.
What's inside?
- 11 new (manually customizable) holidays
Relationships with Wonderful Whims
Suitable for whom?Wonderful Whims is definitely not a mod for beginners - but for Sims professionals it offers a comprehensive expansion of your game that will let you get to know The Sims from a completely new side. Broadly speaking, it's about relationships - you can set your Sims to be asexual, unattractive, or polyamorous.
However, the mod also offers an extremely extensive menu for likes and dislikes, which can be defined down to the smallest detail: whether external characteristics, personality traits or certain details in outfits - here you can determine exactly who your Sims like straight away and for what reason can't stand it.
What's inside?
- Complex system of likes and dislikes
- Numerous settings for romantic relationships
- More personality traits
- Contraceptive system and menstrual cycle
Dating-Apps mit Simda Dating
Language:English, German |Latest update:July 2024 |Creator:LittleMsSam |Click here to download
Suitable for whom?Dating in The Sims 4 is sometimes pretty banal: just talk about grilled cheese three times, one passionate kiss and the matter is clear. In past parts there were much more options with likes and dislikes or online dating. The latter also returns in The Sims 4 thanks to Simda Dating.
You can get to know Sims on your smartphone, arrange blind dates, find the love of your life or invite someone to your home for just one night to show them your cow plant collection. Simda Dating is explicitly compatible with Wonderful Whims and makes your Sims' dating life even more realistic.
What's inside?
- Dating Apps an PC, Smartphone oder Tablet
- Blind Dates
- One Night Stands
Realistic languages with language barriers
Language:English, German |Latest update:October 2024 |Creator:Frankk's Mods |Click here to download
Suitable for whom?A world in which we all speak the same language sometimes sounds very attractive - but also a bit boring. What do we do with all our free time if we don't spend it irregularly on language learning apps?
But joking aside, different languages and dialects are, after all, a large part of human culture - and should therefore also be part of a good life simulation. This mod adds, with great attention to detail, different languages for different locations that can be learned by Sims or passed on to others.
What's inside?
- Seven different languages for the Sims cards available
- Different levels of inherited and learnable language skills
- Language barriers between Sims that don't speak the same language
- Clearly defined language in which Sims communicate
More realistic weather and seasons
Suitable for whom?If the weather and seasons in The Sims sometimes seem very one-dimensional, these mods can help. The weather mod Weather Realism Overhaul provides more varied weather, as well as a regular forecast, which, like in real life, can sometimes be wrong. The planned beach day can fall into the water, which ensures more realism.
For even more natural weather and the seasons that go with it, we also recommend the Better Seasonal Changes mod, which simply ensures that nature adapts better in detail to the current season.
What's inside?
- Reworked weather and seasonal effects
- (Deliberately inaccurate) weather forecast
