After a while, installing The Sims 4 mods is almost a must to keep the life game fresh. The Sims 4 and its truckload of expansions, including the upcoming Growing Together pack, give you nearly endless ways to live your ideal fantasy life or make hell on earth for some poor little Sim churning out paintings in a basement. “Nearly endless” isn’t quite the same as endless, though, and after a while, you might start getting restless with the traits, scenarios, and boundaries Maxis and EA set in the life game. You’re not alone. Other Sims fans have as well, and they’ve created an impressive range of mods, add-ons, and tweaks that bring depth and realism to the game. These are some of the best.
