Do you use mods?

I use mods. For me, the game is alright in build, buy, and CAS, but actual live mode gameplay is lacking. I prefer negative consequences and for my sims to have more individual personalities that I just can't get without mods. I don't use too many, though, just ones that improve the emotion system and add personality.

What mods do you use for personalities?

I love mods! The Sims is a life simulator, but it's impossible to get everything that life has to offer into one game. Mods can give the player more control over what goes on in the game, like control over townies, NPCs, and you can bring back story progression. Having mods in my game makes the game a little more personal and unique to me!

Not gonna lie. I was one of those people that would never use mods, but then I started off with tuning mods (milder mods, that usually don’t break your game each update), and then I started to use full fledged script mods and I love them. It makes the game so much more interesting.

I do - mostly smaller ones such as pillow talk, no mosaic, playable pets, 21 day calender - stuff that adds personality to my Sims or makes life a bit easier for them (and me ? I don't find grinding fun)
But I do have some bigger ones such as TOOL, Wonderful Whims, Pose Player (please don't make me go without that ?) that just make the game more personal and for me, a lot more fun ?

Other...

For the first six years, I played a completely vanilla game. Now, I have exactly one Mod which keeps townies/premades from bothering my Sims. That's it! However, I do have a little CAS CC. But, still less than 20, including the Mod. I'm not opposed to getting more, I'm just taking it slow. I went crazy (10 gigs worth) with CC/Mods in TS2. I don't want to end up spending most of my time 'shopping' rather than playing the game, which is what ultimately happened for me back then. :)

I began my love affair with mods back during Sims2's run, and I use many mods today. Sure, it's a pain to make sure they're all updated, but it's much better playing with mods than without. I've never had a mod crash my game. But I have had the game crash because of coding errors in new packs and updates. Two thirds of my mods fix bugs the teams haven't gotten around to yet, and some of those bugs have been around for four years. Mods are necessities, not luxuries, and I would not be able to fully enjoy my game without them.

I use a few… mostly custom careers from Kiarasims and Midnitetech to fill in gaps of jobs that I don’t think the game covers, for example real estate agent, graphic designer, construction worker, model, airline pilot, or firefighter. After playing the same careers over and over in a multi-generation rotational file, it’s nice to add a bit more variety to career choices.

P.S. I highly recommend both of these modders’ careers. They’re well done, well written, fit seemlessly into the game, and in some ways add a bit more challenge than the maxis careers.

Yes and I am not looking back. 100% worth it. To console players - you have Bloodborne, don't complain.

Not everyone has played that game or even cares for it. Bloodborne is also much different from the sims. :D

I play on both console and PC. I tried a few mods on PC but I uninstalled it because I don't have many packs like on console and I couldn't play with my family.

All I'd want is Story Progression though on console otherwise I'm good with what we have.

My game barely ran without some of those mods (unless I drop it to 4 frame per second) ! ?
