There is certainly no doubt The Sims 4 is an incredibly entertaining game on its own. However, in order for it to reach its peak potential, many players choose to install a few choice high-quality mods into their games.

Here are some fantastic fan-made custom content mod pack and stuff packs to help players get the absolute maximum amount of enjoyment from their Sims 4 games.

Updated on May 16, 2023, By Helen Ashcroft: As The Sims 4 continues to expand so does the collection of mod packs and custom game packs. We've updated this list to make sure that our selection of the best custom content is still valid and supported, so you can get the best out of your game.

15 Explore Mod By Kawaiistacie

Although EA has been pretty good at adding new community lots for Sims to visit, there's still a lack of activities available in the game. It would be nice to send a Sim off to a concert, a fashion show, or just about any other cool event or activity that fits their character story.

Well, it's possible now, with The Explore Mod By Kawaiistacie. Sure, it's all rabbit holes, but it brings some much-needed variety into the game. This mod comes with a bunch of different things Sims can do, such as getting their nails done and actually returning with a brand-new polish. Great if you missed out on Spa Day!

14 Grade School From Home By NoelleBellefleur

The Sims has always been about telling cool stories, and not being able to tell them accurately can be super frustrating. Narratives related to children and families, in particular, are hard to pull off due to children having to always go to school and do the same things every single day.

Now it's possible to have children homeschooled with Grade School From Home Mod By NoelleBellefleur. Every day, the child will basically get a few tasks that they need to complete towards their homeschooling goals, including interacting with other Sims or using skill objects.

13 Halloween Town By Sim Doughnut

Halloween may just be one day a year but it wouldn't be fair not to showcase what's perhaps one of the most incredible builds and content packs available for The Sims 4 right now. Players who are fans of the spooky season will especially appreciate the depth and detail that has gone into this build.

SimDoughnut's Halloween Town is a build that supposedly appears every Halloween in Willow Creek. It has a ton of details, including a catacomb underneath it all. The town comes with its own stuff pack, and to really bring the whole look together, you should also download some of the additional custom content listed on the creator's page.

12 Food Delivery Service By LittleMsSam

In these modern times, it's pretty common for people to be able to order whatever food they like, at least in most cities. However, the delivery services in The Sims 4 are still lagging behind compared to all the variety and technology introduced in real life.

Now this is fixed with Little MsSam's Food Delivery Service mod. Sims can now order food at any time of the day, on any day of the week. They can even order different sizes and just about any food that's available. It's a great relief for busy families or for those who just can't cook.

11 Life's Drama By Sacrificial Mods

Life's Drama Mod by SacrificialMods adds some much-needed life to Sim's neighborhoods. Featuring dramatic situations that could take place around them, your Sims can choose to help out these fellow Sims and earn a reward.

These happenings range from small events such as a couple in a fight to seriously major events such as a Sim being robbed in broad daylight, a fellow Sim being bullied by an evil gang, or even Sims spontaneously catching on fire.

10 Cottage Garden Stuff By Plumbob Tea Society

Eco Lifestyle offered a great way to get involved with all the environmentally friendly stuff that was already introduced in Tiny Living. If living in nature sounds like a wonderful plan, Seasons is also a great addition to really bring in all the seasonal changes, as is Cottage Living.

However, that's a lot of packs, so as an alternative this Cottage Garden Stuff Pack By The Plumbob Tea Society is just what's needed. It has a ton of new objects for that perfect cottage core build. It's a huge pack that a bunch of different creators worked on, and the quality is pure perfection.

9 Slice Of Life By Kawaiistacie

The Slice of Life Mod Pack By KawaiiStacie focuses on adding realism to the game by having physical changes for Sims based on their mood such as blushing when flirty or being teary-eyed when they are sad. Sims even get new emotions such as relaxed or lust.

It also gives Sims a Talent, which you can choose through a menu. Your Sims can also get drunk, lose a tooth, get pimples, and even get their periods. You can pick and choose which mods to enable for a truly custom experience.

8 Custom Trait Pack By SimmerSarah

The Custom Trait Pack By SimmerSarah is a unique collection of all of her previously released individual content. Alone, these traits are impressive and well crafted, but when these items are packaged together in a mod pack, they become an absolutely essentially needed bundle.

The mod pack is stuffed full of exciting traits such as the Workaholic quirk where Sims never take a vacation day or for players to give themselves a real challenge. While some of these traits are in the game now, you can download the individual ones that you want.

7 Mochi Fashion Stuff By Pepperoni Puffin

The Sims is completely stale and worthless without being able to dress your Sims to match their personalities and style. The Mochi Fashion Stuff Pack By Pepperoni Puffin has only eight items and is pint-sized compared to other fashion bundles.

However, what it lacks in size, it makes up for in variety by being loaded with plenty of trendy chic clothing goodies. Featuring four tasteful dresses, two elegant hairstyles, and two casual tops for adult female Sims, players can download and enjoy that these items are Maxis Matched in order to blend seamlessly into their game.

6 Turbo Careers

Ever since the Get To Work expansion pack was launched, Sims have been busy bees with their new playable careers. However, with only three trades to choose from, some found this content lacking. One custom content creator felt the same way and took it upon themselves to change that.

Zerbu's Turbo Careers Modu will allow you to follow your Sims into the base game professions. Just like in Get To Work (which is required) players are prompted at the beginning of each workday to follow their Sims. They will then perform tasks for jobs such as Criminal, Secret Agent, Entertainer, and even become an Astronaut.
