If you’ve downloaded a script mod, don’t separate the files, and keep them in the same folder.

After the game receives a new patch or update, these settings may disable, so you’ll need to go back and re-enable them.

The process is slightly more challenging for mods than custom content (CC), but both follow a similar installation pattern. You can see your mods in game by left clicking on your selected sim - which will then showcase any mods and mod options you have in your game.The great news is that mods aren’t complicated to install, but you still need to pay attention to some detail to get the most out of them. You can disable this pop-up, but it might be useful when it comes to double checking that your mods work and will show up in the game. There should be a pop-up when you load the game up, which will showcase all of the mods and custom content you currently have running on your game. Restart The Sims 4 - you will need to do this so that your new mods are launched along with the game. Drag all of your extracted files from this mod into your mod folder.

Navigate to your documents folder in a new window, click on ‘Electronic Arts’, then ‘The Sims 4’, then ‘Mods’, which should showcase a folder with all of your mods in it. Open your Downloads folder and unzip your mod, by left-clicking it and selecting ‘Extract’. Make sure your mods are ones that people are using and talking about (like the ones we’ve suggested below), so you don’t download anything that might be harmful.

You can find mods from The Sims Resource and various smaller creator’s websites as well. Download a mod of your choice into your Downloads folder.
