Installing mods in The Sims 4 may seem like an intimidating process, but it can be done simply with the following process.
The Sims 4 is a free-to-play life simulation game brought to you by Electronic Arts. Developed by Maxis, the game was initially released in 2014 for Windows and later for Mac and other consoles. The game has a vast community of players. Since the game allows players to be more creative and to test different life choices through simulation, using various mods will enhance the gameplay features. Moreover, The Sims 4 can be played from different perspectives with mods installed.
What Are Mods in The Sims 4?
Game Modifications or simply Mods are any developments and/or articulation on an existing game executed by a third party (usually a dedicated member of a gaming community), instead of the original developers. Players enjoy enhanced gameplay or extended features in the game through these mods.
Although using mods may not always be safe, more often than not, they elevate your in-game experience by allowing you to play the same game in a completely new light. EA mentions mods as a big part of The Sims community and encourages the usage of mods in The Sims 4. However you should be careful with the source and make sure that they are safe and trusted.
Here in The Sims 4, Mods are classified into two categories – Custom Content (CC) and Game Mods. Custom Content (CC) is a player-made content that is added to the game i.e. clothing, whereas Game Mods actually may alter any in-game feature and functionality.
