Installing the mods is somewhat of a misnomer, as you don’t need to follow an installation process. Outdated mods may be flawed, not run at all, or may corrupt other parts of the game. You’ll need a program like WinRAR or 7Zip to open these folders and extract the raw files where you need them.īefore downloading a mod, check to see if it’s compatible with the current version of the Sims 4 you’re running on your device. Most mods come in the form of zipped files. Use File Explorer to open the Documents folder directly.


Unlike the game itself, mods don't automatically update. Follow the instructions above to enable them again. This is because there's a risk that a mod isn't compatible with the latest version of the game. Mods and CC are usually disabled after The Sims 4 updates. If your lots use custom content, ensure that Include Custom Content is ticked on the left. To find these, click the gallery icon (photo album) in the top-right and click My Library.

You don't need to do this for any lots you download. If you don't want to see this, untick Show At Startup. You will need to restart the game for the changes to take effect.Ī Mods panel will then open when you launch the game, listing which mods are enabled. Here, tick Enable Custom Content and Mods and Script Mods Allowed.
