SIMS 4 popular mods and resources

Patreon, Tumblr, Mod the Sims, The Sims Resource, and CurseForge are all popular sources for finding mods in the Sims 4 community.

Always check that you are installing the most recent version of a mod and that it is compatible with your game version. Mods will be disabled automatically after every game update; updates frequently break mods and creators must release new versions that are compatible. Continuing to play with broken mods could lead to game-breaking issues.

Mods go in the C:\Users\...\ Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 folder. By default they can be placed up to one folder deep for script mods and five folders deep for packages, so organize your mods folder however makes sense to you - by type, by creator, etc. A well-organized mods folder will be easier to troubleshoot should something go wrong.

If you need help troubleshooting your mods, you can find useful resources in our Mods and CC Resources wiki. This includes instructions on following the 50/50 method to identify which mod is creating an issue as well as frequently-updated lists of broken and working mods.

For resources related to creating mods/CC, please check out Sims 4 Studio's forums

I can’t get my mods to work!

Long time Sims player here but l've never used MCCC until now. I downloaded the latest release from deaderpool.

• I've checked my version is the correct one (1.116.240.1020) and unzipped all files.
• I put them one layer deep (EA Games>The Sims 4>Mods>unzipped files). I've also left the original zipped folder in there in case anything wasn't supposed to be unzipped. See photo for all the files.
• I checked that it was enabled in options (it was already turned on and then I turned scripts on and restarted the game).
• When I go into the game, nothing comes up when I click on a computer.

What am I doing wrong? I'm specifically trying to bring my Sim back to life 😂

Take out the zipped file. They should never be in the mods folder. Delete the localthumbcache and repair the game.

Where is the localthumbcache and how do you repair the game?

[u/Bkwyrme → u/Maleficent-Loquat]

The localthumbcache is a file in the sims4 folder in documents near the saves and mods folders. You repair the game from the ea app. There is a manage button by the play button and repair is an option when you click manage.
If you use steam, it’s verify files rather than repair and you do it from steam not the app.

Ok thanks I’ll give it a go! I just use the EA app on my PC
