Mods Installation
tl;dr
1. Mods are installed at Documents › Electronic Arts › The Sims 4 › Mods.
2. Place PACKAGE and TS4SCRIPT files into the Mods directory.
3. Startup game, enable 'Custom Content' + 'Script Mods' in Game Settings › Other.
Mods Directory Location
The majority of downloaded mods will be installed at:
Documents › Electronic Arts › The Sims 4 › Mods
- You are required to turn on the game at least once after installation for the Mods folder to be created.
- Make sure to not modify or delete the Resource.cfg file.
- You might encounter issues if you're using a file synchronization service like Microsoft OneDrive. It's advised to disable it for the Mods folder.
Installing Mods Files
Place PACKAGE and TS4SCRIPT files into the Mods folder.
- TS4SCRIPT files cannot be in more than one sub-folder, or the game will fail to load it.
- Mods might require updating after major game patches. Organize your Mods folder for easier updating and cleanup in the future.
- Downloaded archive files (.zip, .7z, .rar) have to be opened or extracted to access PACKAGE and TS4SCRIPT files.
Enabling Mods In-Game
'Enable Custom Content and Mods' + 'Script Mods Allowed' has to be checked at Game Options › Other. Remember to Apply Changes.
- After enabling mods in Game Options, you are required to restart the game for the mods to load.
- Major game patches uncheck the 'Enable Custom Content and Mods' setting. You are required to check it again.
- Click the 'View Custom Content' button to see the list of all loaded mod files. The mods you want to use should appear on that list.
