Emotional inertia makes moods less predictable, but more stable: they'll change less and last longer, making it more difficult to game the system. In the base game, simply having a good meal in a well-decorated room fills them with joy for a few hours, but then the feeling vanishes. Make sure your sims look awesome with the best gaming PCs right now.Įmotional Inertia, redesigned just for this collection, stops your Sims' moods flipping on and off like a light switch. The mod works with the base game, but some options rely on specific packs: you can't send Sims for take-out ice cream if you don't own the Cool Kitchen Stuff pack, for example. Sims will also randomly explore if you don't intervene, which is neat. Their skills and motives will change based on the activity you choose, and you can tell your Sim to 'Explore With' another character if you want to improve relations. You can send them shopping (they'll come back with new clothes), to dance classes, to local attractions, to gambling spots, to take on some part-time work, and more. Once your Sims have visited the DMV for a license or bus pass, you can send them exploring just by clicking on them, which brings up a radial wheel of options. This mod from KawaiiStacie adds a bunch of rabbit hole actions-activities your Sims can do on their own without you following-that activate buffs or improve your Sims' relationships with those closest to them.

Here’s a sampler of the best Sims 4 mods, from small tweaks to complete feature overhauls. We wouldn't leave you to track down the best mods all on your own, though. They may not play nice with the latest official additions and updates from EA, so be sure to do some double-checking before you throw everything together. It can be some work to figure out which mods will work nicely together, and which will make your game come down with a digital cold. Elsewhere, you'll find that some of the bigger Sims 4 modders-including LittleMsSam and KawaiiStacie-maintain their own dedicated websites for their catalogue of modded additions. A more recent option to try is Sims 4's official modding support through CurseForge, available at the Official Mod Hub for Sims 4. Whether the mod is a small tweak or massive rework, you'll find it there.
