It's truly incredible the kind of mods that are available, and how creative the fans of this series can be.

Updated on October 31st, 2020 by Anastasia Maillot: The modding and custom content community for The Sims 4 is one of the most active ones in the world, with super dedicated creators. With the recent Journey To Batuu game pack and Eco Lifestyle expansion in 2020 having been a major disappointment for many simmers, mods are the go-to way to make the game actually bearable to play.

From bringing in new, incredible features that no one has ever even dreamed of seeing in the game to introducing features that should have been in the base game all along, here thirty mods that will both enhance the game and bring it to a new level of crazy. Warning: use mods at your own risk and always remember to back up saved games when downloading a particularly demanding mod pack!

30 Become A Superhero

Sims 4 Armaggedon Mod With Superhero Sims

A feature that has been requested by a portion of the franchise's fans for a long time now is having the possibility to become a superhero in the game. While it's a bit of a niche gameplay feature, it's an interesting thought, since superheroes have become such a mainstream aspect of pop culture.

The Armaggedon mod allows just for that, and even better, for those times that players want to be evil, they can also become a powerful supervillain.

29 Experience The Apocalypse

Sims 4 Zombie Apocalypse Mod

Fans of both The Sims and franchises like Resident Evil will definitely appreciate the introduction of undead Sims in this Zombie Apocalypse mod. It even features familiar characters like Jill Valentine herself and Nemesis, which is a dangerous version of the undead infected by a spreading virus.

Sims can choose to try and survive on their own or partner up with someone, and even children are included in this horror fest. They can use weapons just like adults, but might also suffer the consequences of the virus if they're not careful enough. This is a mod that is definitely not for the faint of heart.

28 Gaze Into A Cursed Painting

Sims 4 Cursed Painting Mod

Supernatural and scary horror features are another aspect that seems to be lacking from the game itself, but rest assured, there are countless options for those who want their Sims to live in a literal nightmare. The Cursed Paintings mod introduce a whole array of mysterious works of art that look like they're straight from an H. P. Lovecraft horror story.

The paintings are mainly evil, there's no way around it. They can make horrible things happen to a Sim that interacts with them, such as set them on fire. However, those lucky enough will soon find themselves swimming in cash if the spirits choose to favor them...

27 Start Some Drama

Sims 4 Sim Killing

Are the peaceful neighborhoods of Willow Creek driving players nuts? Would one day of sheer chaos be enough to bring balance back to the disgustingly happy-go-lucky life that every townie seems to live? Thankfully, there's a mod that fixes this with one go, to a point where no day is without its own unique excitement.

The Life's Drama mod introduces a bunch of new "situations" which the active household Sims can witness. Ranging from breakups to a pregnant townie suddenly going into labor, it'll definitely give the right amount of spice to any neighborhood.

26 Plan The Perfect Crime

Sims 4 Extreme Violence With Dead Sims

Although there are ways to role play as a serial killer in The Sims 4 by simply cooking bad quality pufferfish and serving it to dinner guests, there are mods that make murder and violence ten million times easier. Well, in theory. Evil deeds don't come without consequences, as the Extreme Violence mod also introduces witnesses, jail time, and the police.

The mod is just as its name implies, and primarily contains different ways Sims can attack and kill each other. For Halloween times, it's the ideal mod, but to avoid any unwanted surprises of favorite Sims dying in a free for all murder spree, make sure to tune the mod before putting it into use. Otherwise, Sims will have a bad tendency to go on murder sprees as often as they get a glass of water!

25 Wreak Havoc And Chaos

Sims 4 Chaos And Torture Mod

Players who would like to introduce some chaos into their game but are worried a big mod would break it should look into the Torture & Chaos mod. This mod is pretty lightweight and only brings in a handful of new interactions, all done through a twisted old book known as the Book of Chaos, which can be purchased from Buy mode.

This book allows its holder to kill and torture those around them to their heart's content, using some of the default Sim deaths. Some interactions are quite dark and inappropriate, so this mod is only for those who are not squeamish or faint of heart.

24 A Different Kind Of Dancing

via: reddit.com

Because dance crazes from many years ago never truly fade away, it's no surprise they made their way into The Sims 4. Dancing is already part of the game, but the moves are, for lack of a less strange phrase, super basic. Add a little flair to your dance parties with a variety of ever-improving dance fad mods.

You'll find them over at the creator's blog, along with some fan-made videos of the software in action. It's really only a matter a time until they have a mod for the floss, and surprisingly there's nothing we could find that allows you to whip.

23 Make Them Remember You

via: plumbobnews.com

There's only so much acting prowess we can expect out of fake digital people. When fellow fake digital people perish in the game, the reactions of those supposedly closest to them don't quite react with the grief of a devastated relative, but more of a detachedly upset distant acquaintance.

Well, in case this has ever bothered you in the past, or if you're just generally a fan of over-dramatic reactions, then this is the mod for you. It'll make your character react much more intensely when someone finally meets their end, make the event seem much more realistic, albeit sad.

22 Anything Is A Hat If You're Brave Enough

via: modthesims.com

Caps, beanies, and fedoras are all well and good. But only true pioneers of headwear would wear a full sofa as a hat, or a canvas painting they crafted on their head as a testament to progressive fashion.

Not many would be brave enough to achieve this in their day to day lives (we dare you to try) but luckily there's a nifty mod in The Sims 4 lets you try it in cyberspace. The Objects As Hats mod has an ambiguous name so let me explain how it works; essentially, it lets you take any object in the game and turn it into a hat.

21 Spacetime Is A Social Construct

via: sims4studio.com

Has your Sim ever been late for a wedding? Are they ever out past curfew? Do they spend too much time at home, unwilling to travel? Solve all these problems are more with the Teleportation Mod! Updated with game patches, this mod allows you to teleport any Sim to a given location instantly.

It all revolves around a statue. You can use this unique item to summon a Sim to that location, or send them somewhere else. It can often be used for convenience, getting a Sim from one place to another. But maybe one of them is being really annoying and you wish they would just go away. In that case you'll want to hit that "just go away" button and they'll be zapped to a random location elsewhere!

20 No Need To Hit The Gym

via: mysims4blog.blogspot.com

It seems, for whatever reason, people have complained that the Sims they send to the gym have been getting fit a little too easily. More understandably, people complain that their more sedentary Sims have been putting on pounds almost too quickly. It probably comes down to an inaccurate fitness calibration in the original game, and as usual it was up to the players to fix it.

As such, they've come up with a mod that lets you customize how quickly or slowly your Sims get fit or fat. Now you can keep them from getting overweight too quickly or, if you're a gym rat in real life, make your Sims work as hard as you did to get as swole as you are now.

19 Woo-Hoo!

via: YouTube (DangerouslyFunny)

To make the game more family-friendly, certain aspects of the game were made more discreet. Any seasoned or older player knows exactly what's going on, but the younger demographic might not. And appealing to the latter required some censorship in more ways than one.

But to make it a win-win situation, Turbodriver created a collaborative and detailed mod to flesh out some things that aren't fleshed out in the game. One look at their features and you'll be amazed how realistic the whole affair really is, both in terms of animation/visuals and simulation-related consequences.

18 Male Pregnancy

Nature has certain laws explained by science, but who made these laws? In real life we may never know, but in The Sims it was a guy named Will Wright, followed by hundreds of modders who wrote new laws and rewrote old ones. And when you give people that much power, you get things far removed from our natural order like male pregnancy.

To be fair, this mod was created to support same-gender couples having children by natural means in the game (i.e., two guys or two girls can have children each other). So I suppose as long as intentions are good and progressive, the modding community has nothing to worry about.

17 When One Relationship Just Isn't Enough

via: ea.com

If you're tired of your wife getting angry at your other girlfriend, your husband from seeing you with that other guy all the time, of if you just want that sweet privilege of having a bunch of relationships, then this is the mod for you.

Basically, it allows your Sims to have multiple partners, and removes all those annoying jealousy reactions and consequences. There are also updates that further deepen the level of polygamy you can achieve. There are also some other strange features which we'll get into later, features that would probably make the average player too uncomfortable if they were in the base game.

16 When You Need Extra Emotional Support

via: modthesims.info

There are times when a person just needs a hug. All of us at some point have experienced a hug that just made all out troubles melt away, but we've also felt those without any passion or empathy whatsoever. Tragically, hugs in The Sims far too often fall in the latter category.

Luckily, for those of us who get deeply attached to digital beings, we have this mod. It basically changes the hug animation and turns it into more of a loving embrace. It's a small adjustment, to be sure, but seeing it in action is all the emotional fulfillment you'll need.

15 When You Get Too Much Emotional Support

via: modthesims.info

And further down the spectrum of human emotion, we have a mod that intensifies every mood a Sim can feel, and affects their actions accordingly. Many players have felt that the Sims acted a little too tame.

Well, this Emotional Overcharge mod makes it so moods are more quickly intensified and harder to lull back to normality. A scorned wife might do something a little more dangerous than just yell at her husband. A guy in love will probably make a huge fool of himself. And a child throwing a tantrum will be completely unpredictable.

14 More Realistic Body Types

via: playground.ru

We can't help but notice that the physical appearance of Sims, while fairly customizable, remain largely the same in terms of anatomy. The full range of human appearance is quite vast and variable. From calves to hips to shoulders, we come in all shapes and sizes!

In the spirit of such diversity, the community has created a body slider mod that allows you to fully customize the size of the aforementioned body parts and many more. Want to make a Kardashian? Want your Sim to look just like you? Maybe want a Sim to look like he skips leg day? All of these and more are possible with the right slider modifications.

13 Ever Wanted To Be Taller?

Speaking of body image, most Sims of a certain age seem to have a standard height, with little more room for customization. You can remedy this with the Height Slider mod, allowing you to change the height of a Sim to match your preferences, or perhaps make them proportional with the massive legs you gave them with the previous mod.

With a few uses of this mod, you'll see why the creators of the game didn't customize height. It makes interactive animations out of sync, and using a mod that doesn't account for these discrepancies, you'll find yourself giving some pretty awkward hugs.

12 Ever Wanted A Bigger Head?

via: modthesims.info

You've changed your body, you've changed your height. The only thing still out of place is your now-oddly-shaped head. Luckily, the modding community has thought of everything and came up with another slider mod for head size.

Not only can you expand and shrink to match your body, you can blow up the size to comically large proportions, to the point where the sliders on your body don't even matter anymore. If you're brave enough as a pioneer of Picasso-esque 3D modelling, you can create an entire community of walking bobbleheads and Funko Pop toys!

11 Make Every Kid Look Like Damien

via: thesimsresource.com

If you're not the type who believes all children are little angels, and would previous the nature of their devilish antics be manifested in some physical form, then this oddly specific mod is exactly what would suit your oddly specific tastes.

It basically gives the option to add horns to children, customizable by color. You might want them for the aforementioned reasons, or you might just like adding a little quirk to the otherwise vanilla atmosphere of the game. If you really dislike children, you can apply this mod, and use it in conjunction with the next one on our list as you roleplay a demon hunter.
