Hello everyone!
I'm curious to know if it's possible to create mods for The Sims 4 using AI technologies. Are there any tools or methods out there that allow AI to assist in mod creation? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
@SquareCoin28572 No, it is not possible. If you want to learn how to mod, there are various resources online for beginners and a community of modders who support each other in the learning process. I advise keeping it very simple to start.
Yes it is (at least for script mods). You can make a github repo and use OpenAI's Codex to act in your repo. Since the sims 4 scripts are just renamed zip files written in python you can have a github workflow action compile (Codex can do this) and release. I've been using a set of chats in a project folder to scope out the conceptual model of the mod and do research, and then having that chat model gpt make the detailed instructions for codex. It takes a very long time (I'm well over a hundred codex passes) but it is doable.
It remains worth considering the ethics of using AI for content generation both with regard to it's toll on the environment, any data openAI might have illegally scraped to learn on, and the general signal it sends to the oligarchs that already think what we want is more and more AI slop in our products.
