Note: I recommend keeping tuning mods in their own folder, as they can break easily and have to also be updated when they do. They will work no matter where you put them in your mods folder.

package files, and can be sorted just like custom content. There are two kinds of mods (as mentioned in the previous section): Script Mods and Tuning Mods. package files can be placed up to 5 folders deep in your Mods folder ( *see next section on sorting), so you can sort these by categories any way you wish. package files go into your mods folder ( Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods). These files are how the game reads custom content. Once you unzip the files, you will then see.

These files have to be unpacked via programs like 7-Zip or WinRAR. To install custom content, download it from your favorite creator’s page. Some of these mods also contain python script files (.TS4Script File Extension) these files are NOT to be unzipped or they will not work as the mod intended. Which is why something you were using might be working one day and then broken after a patch. Any time there is a new patch and EA changes or adds things into the game can break a mod. These break frequently and have to be checked and updated often. Mods are things that change the script/tuning of the game or of an object. These types of items are usually the last thing that will break and cause you issues. Like clothing, hair, makeup, furniture, etc. Sometimes even make the game completely unplayable.įirst, we need to go over the difference between custom content and mods.Ĭustom Content is something that does not change the script/tuning of an object or item.

But these items can eventually break and cause issues in your game. A lot of simmers use custom content and mods to enhance their gameplay.
