The Sims is the iconic and massively popular life-management sim that needs no introduction. It’s been incredibly popular since its first entry in 2000, and has only been getting more and more popular with each entry. The Sims 4 is no exception, and it’s been getting the same surge of post-release expansions and DLCs that the rest of the games get. Naturally, though, these expansions can’t cover everything, and there a lot of things fans want that hasn’t yet been covered by expansions and DLC.
The Sims 4 has gotten the mod treatment by its avid and dedicated community, though, so there is hope. The Sims 4 is a fun game anyway, but with the huge amount of mods available you can make it something amazing and endlessly replayable.
Check out these 15 mods that make The Sims 4 bigger, better, and more replayable. Also read – games like the sims 4.
Here are 15 Sims 4 Best Mods for PC
1. Houseboat
Want to have your Sim(s) live in a boat? Well, now you can. This mod allows you to turn the decorative houseboats into fully-fledged houseboats. They’re small and compact, which creates an interesting design challenge. Find the best way to fit as much (or as little) furniture into your boat as you can and enjoy your new life on the water!

4. Old French Village
A cool and charming little settlement inspired by old-fashioned French villages. It offers 10 places to live, including that sweet mansion for Sims who like grandiosity, and a pub and café. Naturally, there will be some style clashes once you start decorating, but it’s still just a nice place to live. Impressively enough, modder catdenny put together the whole thing using assets that were already in the game.

5. True Happiness
This mod, created by roBurky, aims to make your Sims’ happiness more “fleeting, meaningful, and personal”. By default, Sims’ native mood is happy, and let’s be honest, nobody is happy 100% of the time. It’s just no realistic. This mod changes the default mood to be “fine”, and makes it so that Sims only become “happy” when something good happens, like starting a relationship, eating a good meal, working out, etc. The default state won’t make your Sims unhappy, though, so don’t worry, it simply “fine” the default positive mood.

6. Get To College
One thing long-time Sims fans know is sorely missing from The Sims 4 is the ability to take your Sim to college/university. The Sims 2 and 3 had University expansions, but 4 is yet to get the same treatment. Until that expansion is released, this is the best way to get your Sim a higher education.

11. Less Musical Chairs
It might not seem all that interesting for some, but if you’re someone who hates how much Sims move around mid-conversation then you’ll get the appeal of this mod. Less Musical Chairs aims to make Sims do exactly that: it stops Sims acting they’re playing musical chairs so much! A simple mod that may be of little interest to some but huge interest to others.

12. Height Slider
Oddly enough, when creating your Sims, you can alter their width but not their height. This simple mod changes that. You can now change the height of your Sims, so that not everyone is the exact same size. Makes sense to me! Now not everybody will be the same height and won’t look so… samey.

13. Replacement Paintings
Once your Sim has been an artist for longer than two days, you’ll start to see the same paintings again and again. The lack of variety can really get dull. This mod allows you to pull in a huge number of abstract and classical paintings in from the web and put them up in your home once your Sim has painted them. Awesome stuff!

14. Gender Preference
This mod may not be what you think. Gender preferences refer to the gender that your Sim is attracted to. You can make it a slider out of 100, meaning that you can make your Sims completely attracted to men and not women, completely attracted to both men and women, or partially attracted to one gender and entirely to another. There’s a lot you could do with this simple mod, and it’ll spice up your Sims romantic life.
