Summary
Sims 4is a mature game, having been released a decade ago. Since its launch, it has received many additional DLCs, adding new content regularly. However, not every player wants to pay out for new content every time a new DLC becomes available for thislife sim. And this is where mods can really help. These are freely available, community-developed projects, that often add new content to the base game.
Mac users need to be aware that not allmods for Sims 4will work on a Mac. Any mod that uses the built-in modding platform, and simply needs to be copied into the mods folder should work. Any mods that use third-party tools, or modify the game client outside of the modding engine, will probably not work on a Mac.
6Fender Stratocaster Guitar Modpack
Become A Guitar Hero
Alongside the Gibson Les Paul, the Fender Stratocaster is one of the most iconic instruments ever used in modern music. Legendary musicians such as Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughn all settled on the Stratocaster as their instrument of choice. And nowSims 4players can play this same instrument inside the game thanks to this mod.
The instrument was ported from the gameRockband 4, and is fully playable inSims 4. The mod also includes a number of customer finishes, and also some of the instrument skins fromRockband 4as well.
5Harebells Lane
Charming 1-Bedroom Bungalow
Harebells Lane is a building prefab thatSims 4players can build within the game. This is a great little bungalow with plenty of space, and is ideal for players that want a nice-looking home, but don’t want to go to the effort of acustom buildfor some reason.
It has a lot size of 20 x 15, which is nice and compact. The build costs are a total of 26,545. However, there are a few prerequisite mod dependencies that Harebells Lane uses, and these are all wrapped into the mod pack, so the player doesn’t have to worry about installing them separately.
4Marram Farm House
A Rustic Residence
Marram Farm House is a stunning building prefab forSims 4on Mac. Players that want a luxury residence, but lack either the skills or patience todesign and buildone from scratch, might like to take a look at this mod. With a whopping 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, this is a huge abode.
The plot size for this build is, unsurprisingly, quite large, at 40 x 40. The build cost is high as well, running to 97,753. However, luxury isn’t cheap. All of the prerequisite mod dependencies are baked into the mod pack, so all the player has to do is install it.
3Romance Reloaded
Improved Relationships
This is a complex mod, that extends the romance and relationship mechanics of Sims 4 on Mac. With this mod, every Sim has a set of likes and dislikes, that come into play when they meet and look at another Sim. When a Sim finds another Sim visually appealing, they will be much easier and faster to romance.
Something that this mod does very well, is enabling players to play to the likes and dislikes of a Sim they are trying to romance. The player can change their appearance, wear clothes that will make them more attractive, and a host of other options. Overall, a great modification of the base game.
2Post Office Career
Collect And Deliver Mail
This great little mod forSims 4players on Mac, adds a completely new career option for a SIm. Two careers in one actually, as the player has two paths they can follow. Either the delivery path, or the corporate path.
If the player chooses the delivery path, they will progress through different levels, starting as a city courier, simply picking up and dropping off the post. Later levels of the delivery path progress on to long-term, vehicle-enabled deliveries, and eventually deliveries to a large rural area. Under the corporate path, the player begins as a mail processing clerk, and progresses through levels until they become the General Postmaster. The pay rates are decent for both paths, and add some fun new gameplay.
1Emergency Services Careers
Become A Police Officer
First, the reason needs to be explained, why this mod took top place on this list. The player can use this mod in two modes. Either standard mode, or in a cut-down, content moderated mode that is suitable for young teen players. More mods should follow this example, as some parents don’t want their children playing adult-related content inSims 4.
The mod adds a newcareer optionto the game, as a police officer. The player has to progress through certain levels of this career. They begin as a departmental cadet, and then a patrol officer. As they level up, they move up through the ranks, eventually becoming the chief of the police department. This is a great new addition to the base game, and gives a player some direct impact on the game world as well.
