Top 5 Best Sims 4 Mods of 2021

[simple-author-box]

Ever since Sims was released in 2000, life-simulator games have boomed, and the Sims game popularity has sky-rocketed. Today there are 33 million Sims 4 players, and that’s not counting the many players devoted to the earlier versions of the Sims series. 

But even the biggest Sims 4 fanatic can get bored of the vanilla version of the game – which is where the modding community comes in. Whether you want more Sims to fit in one household, better facial expressions, map extensions, or to change their height: there’s a mod that can do that. 

Here are our top picks for Sims 4 mods.

5. Have Some Personality Please (Polarbearsims)

This is one of the game-changing mods that deserve all the popularity they get! In the original Sims 4 game, sims have an idle chat feature where they talk about seemingly nothing, and this social interaction is pretty much the same no matter who they’re interacting with. 

‘Have Some Personality Please’ replaces idle chatter with better sim interactions, so that your sim reacts to other sims depending on the relationship they have. Your sim will behave romantically with a potential mate, or beat up an old enemy – all on their own!

4. Slice of Life (Stacie)

Another mod that brings a lot of personality to your Sim, Slice of Life gives Sims 4 a good old lesson in Psychology 101. With this mod installed, you can choose a Myer-Briggs personality type for your mod. Now you and your sim can be chirpy ENFPs!

3. Srsly’s Complete Cooking Overhaul

The best part about playing Sims 4 is that you can do everything you do in real life, only better, and with more control. In the original Sims 4 game, cooking usually means your Sim walks to the kitchen and makes a boring meal out of thin air, or by pulling it out of the empty fridge. 

This cooking mod adds a whole new layer to the game in terms of food. Now your Sim can follow recipes, and has to physically go shopping for ingredients in the supermarket if they want to cook! Just like in real life, ingredients may or may not be in your Sim’s budget.

This element of realism totally enriches your Sim’s life and takes food from a basic chore to an enjoyable part of the game.

2. Better Romance

Relationships with other sims are the core of Sims 4. But when it comes to romance, sims tend to act the same with all their potential partners, which can get a little boring. This interesting mod does exactly what it promises, and introduces better romance autonomy to Sims.

In this mod, personality plays a big role in romantic relationships. This leads to a lot of interesting romantic relationships depending on the personality trait combination of the two sims.

Now your Sim won’t kiss the sim they just divorced, or try to flirt with their relatives! Romance and love interests build more naturally and vary from each other with this mod.

1. Height Sliders

Most Sims players devote a lot of time and energy into customizing their sims looks, but there’s no way to adjust the height of Sims in the original game. A lot of players have previously expressed their discontent with having male and female sims of the same height – and this Sim solves the problem. 

However, there are still some animation glitches during sim interactions – particularly when your sims are hugging or kissing since the original game didn’t design these actions with a height difference in mind.
