Guide: How To Install Sims 4 Mods

When it comes to installing mods in your Sims 4 game, the process can go from intimidating to overwhelming in no time. There are several things that you need to know before installing mods in your game such as knowing where the items are placed and determining what should be done when your custom content gives up. It can be very tricky, especially for a beginner who still needs to learn a lot. With that said, here’s a not-so-techie guide for downloading, installing, and troubleshooting Sims 4 mods.

Knowing the Perquisites – What To Do Before We Begin?

Sure installing personalized content in your favorite Sims 4 game sounds exciting, but you still need to make sure that it’s updated with all the recent patches. If you haven’t updated your game yet, then connect to the internet, and launch your Game Library to update it.

Additionally, when you download custom content for the first time, you may notice that there are a lot of files with extensions like .rar .zip, and .7z. Mod owners compress the mods before uploading them on websites and forums that you need to install in your game.

However, you don’t just have to copy-paste these files into your sims 4 game folder. There’s a specific tool that you need to extract the original content inside these files, such as WinRAR – the software for which nobody pays. Once you’ve extracted the files successfully, follow the steps below to install these mods:

Turn On Mod Feature in Your Sims 4 Game

The developers of Sims 4 have offered a default mods feature in their game. Although they’re kept disabled by general settings, you can easily turn this feature on, just like you make other changes in the game such as changing the keyboard layout.

To enable it, all you need to do is click on the menu button located at the top-right corner, and choose the option named Game Options. In this section, you’ll find a checkbox labeled “Enable Custom Content and Mods” among other options related to your gameplay that start working after a restart.

Tip by @MADPROFGLINT: You have to run the game at least once before it will create the mods folder. It’ll be in your %user%\documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\ folder.

Download the Desired Mods

After patching your game properly, downloading an extraction tool, and enabling the mods feature, you may proceed to download Sims 4 mods. Here are a couple of popular mods available that enhance your game experience even more.

Install the Mod in Your Game

When you extract the mod file, it will make a folder with all the required files in it. When you open this folder, you’ll see files with .package, .ts4script, and .bpi extensions. Choose the .package file and move it to the mod folder of your Sims 4 game, located in the Documents directory (make sure you start the game at least once).

Conclusion

With these three easy steps, you can easily install mods in your Sims 4 game. Before installing any mod in your game, make sure you take a backup in case things go wrong and your game starts to glitch, and make sure you follow each step carefully.
