Sims 4 - Vanilla+ Mod List:
🕑 Added 2023-01-27 14:21:32 +0000 UTCFor a while, I have wanted to make a mod and custom content master list of all the mods I use on a regular basis to enhance the game to look somewhat presentable and ‘aesthetic’. So, without further a-do, here it is!
Essential CAS Mods:
These are the mods that make create-a-sim so much better and easier to navigate!
- More CAS Columns (5) by weerbesu
- More CAS Presets by @zerbu
- Tidy Tiles by @yoruqueenofnightsims
- Stand Still in CAS by @MizoreYukii
- Cosy CAS Background by @noslob
- No EA Eyelashes by @cienzroza
Essential In-Game Mods:
These mods I cannot actually load the game without - I use them for everything, especially the weather and time control in UI Cheats Extension!
- UI Cheats Extension by weerbesu
- MC Command Centre by @deaderpoolmc
- Better Build and Buy & TOOL mod by @twistedmexi
CAS Custom Content:
These are probably my most favourite pieces of custom content ever, they enhance the game so much without giving it that look of there being custom content in the game.
- EYES Collection by @simulantity
- Vanilla Skin by @luumia
- BARE Skintone Pack by @lamatisse
- Maxis Match Eyebrows by @twisted-cat
- Body Hair by @luumia
- Nipple Overlay by @littledica
- Soft Tummy Skin Detail by @littledica
Environment / Lighting Mods:
The Sims’ natural lighting tends to be really blue and overall very artificial looking. These mods are perfect for giving the game a heightened realism (and just some very pretty sunsets/sunrises).
GShade (similar to reshade) is an external mod that acts as an overlay to the sims - @oshinsims has a great video explaining how to install the programme and how to add presets etc - https://youtu.be/bzaSskKHeE8
Miscellaneous Mods:
These mods are super useful and add so much flavour to the game. Although I don’t use all of these on a regular basis, they’re definitely worth looking into as I believe adds the much needed realism to the game.
- Wonderful Whims by WonderfulWhims
- No Makeup on Random Townies by @simplyanjuta
- SimLicy Save 2.0 by @simlicy
- Ratsave 1.2 by @ratboysims
Other Bits and Bobs:
If you like the way my personal game looks, I also have some different mods and custom content linked on my resources page - https://oakiyo.tumblr.com/resources
Also, some notable mentions of custom content creators that I believe fit perfectly into the maxis match theme/look;
- Hairs and clothing by @aharris00britney
- Hairs and clothing by @greenllamas
- Hairs and clothing by @qicc
- Hairs and clothing by @simstrouble
- Hairs by @simcelebrity00
- Makeup by @crypticsim
- Skin overlays by @lamatisse
- Clothing by @trillyke
- Clothing by @sentate
- Clothing by @serenity-cc
- Clothing by @arethabee
- Clothing by @rustys-cc
I hope this was helpful, this is pretty much all the stuff I use when I want to play the game but want to keep it vanilla. I’m sure there are definitely some mods out there that I haven’t discovered yet and if so, please comment them for me to check out!
Just for, transparency I suppose, my mods folder is around 11GB and has just over 3,000 files - I have other bits of custom content and mods from other creators, but the main bulk of that is by the ones listed above!
