Mods you need if you're a new Sims 4 player (2023 Updated)

[@cw4195]

Bugs that EA haven't bothered to fix themselves 🤸‍♀️😂 love you Satch

[@Bubblenikki]

Lmao

[@Flippohoyyy]

true

[@blameitondanny]

Another mod that compliment Better Build Buy mod is the TOOL mod. It's a mod that lets you resize or move objects to precision. I use that mod if I want to clutter things but the decoration is just slightly bigger and I can scale it down a bit or to lower the in game mirror because they always sits too high.

[@omgkthxbi]

TOOL is amazing but its also a PITA because the installation is tricky and you have to update it with every new Sims update.

[@blameitondanny]

@@omgkthxbi wdym? It's easy to install. Just drag and drop, it's also unlike Mccc where the setting is complicated. You just put the mod in the mods folder and it's ready to use. For the update, to be fair, a lot of mods break when a new update is out.

[@omgkthxbi]

@@blameitondanny its not that simple, you have to do unintuitive things like not extracting the zip package before you copy the mod into the mods folder. eta: and to uninstall it you have to make sure its turned off in game before you delete it.

[@blameitondanny]

@@omgkthxbi No offense, are you 9 or something? Compressed files has been around since forever. For the uninstalling, you just need to delete the TOOL folder on your mod folder. There's no on/off switch with TOOL. That's what I'm doing and my game didn't break.

[@omgkthxbi]

@@blameitondanny Yes, compressed files have been around forever, including the fact that you have to EXTRACT the file once you download it, which is not what you do with TOOL. No need to be fucking rude.

[@Saabriinii]

UI Cheats is soooo useful, could not play without it anymore :D also the more-columns one and better build buy! i love them!

[@buddywriggles]

Already blown my mindhole with that Maxis Match CC link. Unbelievable. Thank you!

[@thesimyin]

why have i never heard of meaningful stories lol thank you !!

[@JoannaFalkowska]

I like how you didn't include MCCC, because it's so basic and so necessary at this point that it probably comes installed by default directly from EA, and we're all so used to it we didn't even notice.

[@-Jule_11]

there are also a lot of other mods that do what MCCC can do and are less glitshie

[@HarvestLockwood]

This is really helpful! Thank you so much! I've only recently gotten into modding and was literally looking for something just like this: a video explaining the must-have mods, but for ones that are actually still updated for 2023! A lot of the mods I see that are suggested are from posts on reddit from like 6 years ago, but those mods are all outdated and broken now.

[@julesauburn8713]

Thanks! I don’t why I’m saying thank you. Just kidding. You are making me transition from a transition from console to PC. Ugh. Lol. I really love your videos for newer players or just showing what you use. Of course, your reviews are also awesome. In America, you’re a fun start to my day with my coffee. Have a great day!

[@SatchOnSims]

I’m glad you’ve joined the PC side 😜 you’ll have a really good time with all the mods. Thank you so much for your support! It makes me happy I’m a part of your morning routine

[@cheesecakelasagna]

I'd love to convert to PC when playing Sims but I currently only have a non-gaming laptop and it gets so hot after a few hours so I had to learn to turn it off once in a while (which is probably a good thing, lol).

[@julesauburn8713]

@@cheesecakelasagna I still like playing on my console more because I can laze about on my couch. 😂 but CAS is nicer on the computer

to be totally honest - i like this new version of Satch - He's finally in his good guy arc 😂😂😂😂❤

What was his super villain arc 😳

[@IAARPOTI]

I love you highlighting the mods. It makes my game plays more smooth.

[@galaxywolffpix2879]

Thank you!! I don't even know how I didn't know half of these mods existed. The UI cheats and the banking mod are going straight into my game!

[@augusto7681]

I think is better to download individual hair/cloths then what you did. That way you only keep the things you really like and want to have in the game. I have the more colums mod and the tool mod. I almost forgot its not part of the game, its really essential.

[@jackiedoesntcare]

MCCC and Wicked Whims are a must have for me at this point. Idk how I'd play without them 😂😂 You should do a lets play w Shanice trying to make it as a stripper 🤣🤣

What a godsend video. I didn’t play sims for 3 years and back then I remember spending so much time looking for maxis match cc and mods. I want to play now that I can have access to to all the dlc but I feel so overwhelmed with how many mods and custom content is out there

[@Game_Erica]

I have too many mods, but these were great recommendations! Def gonna grab Max 20's cc asap!!

[@liku139]

Thanks 4 the video, your videos are one of my favorite things on the simmer comunity 🥰🥰🥰

[@eizthetics2693]

Still watching even if I'm not a new Sims 4 player 😅

[@anywaysso527]

lol

[@SimplySammyK]

I would have loved for SNBank to change the money automatically per sim. so objects bought with certain sims selected would be theirs and it come out of their bank, changing sim changes the simoleans you have. that would be soo cool for a legacy challenge and rags to riches!

[@vingedheart]

Wow - that better build/buy mod sounds really good. I have never used mods, but you are changing my mind here... you cheeky ....... with the naturally, kissable lips.... 😌

[@ninjamanx320]

Mods are the best for The Sims 4 they make the game even more fun and less boring I've seen some really good bed mods for children and toddlers looked it very interesting and fun to play with in Sims 4

[@ricardopedauga]

Another good source for build mode CC is The Plumbob Tea Society, they've stopped making content but they've published a ton, its all very cottagecore too, so it's worth checking out for anyone with cottage living

[@misahinasaki]

a good cas creator is also clumsyalien. they have this kind of cottagecore vibe.

[@catperson776]

EA could never LOL! Bless the cc/mod creators, idk what I would do without them

[@jackiedoesntcare]

Curse Forge has made downloading CC so much easier!

[@syrax_the_cat]

Can you tell me more about this mod please? I'm switching from Xbox to PC soon and am trying to learn as much as I can about mods and such, this sounds like something that could benefit me. Thank You

[@kuroyuki4457]

Curse forge has an app where are you can directly download and update apps without manually dragging them into the mods folder. You can even delete them through the app. But sometimes, like with mods with pack dependent components you need to delete stuff manually

[@user-mv5zt8qd9l]

@syrax_the_cat Curse Forge is a desktop app that directly interacts with your mod folders to download mods without you needing to know how a game's files work. Creators can also publish updates and the app will redownload the latest versions of mods at the click of a button.

[@hunterghost1453]

How many mods I can run at once ???

[@kuroyuki4457]

@@hunterghost1453 depends on your pc and the way mods interact with the game and each other. Install to much Cc and the game will take long times to load

[@brittanyselcer]

New to Sims4 so I’ve been binging videos by different creators. Gotten a little better at building. Thank you for this video. 😊😊😊

[@luciathesylveon8082]

You forgot the T.O.O.L. Mod (With this you can put things outside of your lot or multiply things and its useful for building things). I use MCCC, Wonderfulwhims, UI Cheats and BetterBuildBuy and I LOVE functional Objects Mods, I use functional clutter kit, functional book nook kit I love it!

[@nicolelewis8975]

I’m playing a heavy mod game for Regency/Victorian right now with royalty and regency mods. But up next when I done with my obsession is changing those aspirations and that download link. 😍😮😍

[@veronicaclymer4227]

🤩Thank you soo much for this video

[@tammyt317]

And oh! Your Vids are awesome!

[@Kualinar]

There are TONS of hair CC. You can literally and easily get 3 to 4 GIGS worth of them. It's not even hard to get twice that much. Don't go overhead. The recommended amount of RAM to play is 8Gb. You may consider going for 16 to 24Gb of RAM if you have a LOT of custom hairs. «It may have been made by EA» ? A lot of those hairs and outfits are several notches above what EA make, quality wise. Build mode things... Another place where you can get gigs of stuff without even realizing it. Make sure that you have the latest version of UI Cheats Extension. The one from Mod the Sims is an older, legacy, version that is NOT compatible with the current game and WILL totally disable the display of the milestones, and can cause some other problems. You need version 1.35.1 or later.

[@TinCanBoodle]

I'm lucky enough to have a friend who has almost every pack so I just have downloaded them all at separate times (because I don't have a NASA grade computer) and I know which ones I actually use and like

[@Pressbutan]

@15:07 You missed a UI Cheat tip: right-click on the green “Traits” header to add any traits you may wish from the list

[@EP1CxEMAN08]

I actually didn't know this myself. You can also give Sentiments by right-clicking the Sentiments panel in the relationships panel.

[@Moss_piglet13]

For ke the only two must have nods are dine out reloaded and wicked whims. MCCC is really good too but ive only just started using it so i dear nt know it well enough. UI cheats also looks useful but i can see it ruining gameplay for me if i get a little too crazy with it. Wicked whims is the first mod i ever got and if i had to only keed one it would ve that one lol 😂

[@Bandwagons]

I love realistic mods but you're right about most of them not actually being real. Sim: Gets a great interest rate! Me: ...... Sim: Gets Universal Healthcare and easily manages chronic health conditions! American Me: ........ Sim: Has more best friends! Introverted Me: .........

[@silverstreak268]

The one thing I don’t like about the first cc mod is that litterly all of the female cas tops are cropped expect for two cold weather wear

[@royal4908]

Thanks this pretty cool since sims just became free on epic games and theres alot of newbies including me

[@giraffe6818]

Thank you so much! 👏👏

[@HirilCelebrian]

Please make a similar video for TS3! I'm switching back and I think some helpful videos might help everyone else do the same.

[@agungputronugroho]

UI Cheats, MCCC, Slice of Life is very useful mods i use

[@meaghansharp6906]

Emotions could be fixed so easily imo...like, my sims always have TONS of moodlets & it almost seems random which one will actually overtake them & display outwardly. I would suggest that in order to go from "Fine" to "Happy", you need a certain number of moodlets (say like..5 weak ones or 3 strong ones) Same concept for each emotion. But you won't switch from "Fine" with just 1 moodlet. It's too easy..

[@SimplySammyK]

I'm not a new player but still newish to mods, returning to the sims after a couple years not playing so wanting updates! Also forgot the sites outside sims resource and nexus. I love the sims with all the CC you can get its basically like a massive free update! Only thing that annoys me about CAS content is the major lack of male things. I filter male and every page is mostly female. like what?

[@SimplySammyK]

Glad you noted that though. I wanna learn how to make CC, I would genuinely only to male selection. though that said there are allot of things for female sims that I can't find so there might be some

[@silvervixen007]

Thank you that was so useful!
