In short, here's everything you need to know about modding The Sims 4. We also look at how to minimize any negative impact on your game experience, especially after patches are released. In this guide, we take a look at where to find mods, what they can do, and how to download and install them. They are also more likely to cause issues in your game and require more frequent updates. However, despite the fact that mods are relatively easy to install, the process is more complex than when you are dealing with custom content, which adds create-a-sim or build and buy objects. The best news is that mods aren't as complicated as you may expect and they are completely free to download and use. The modding community works hard to fill in the gaps offering everything from small quality of life additions to brand new features and functionality. If you love The Sims 4 but find yourself annoyed that certain features still aren't in the game, then mods can be the answer.
