Must Have Mods?

Thanks, Cyrus. This is a "The Sims 4 Has Stopped Responding" lag of a few seconds, so it's fairly bad. It seems to be only in restaurants, and much better if the restaurants don't have Lot Traits. I'm going back in now after I pulled the Mod, so will try to update.

MCCommand Center is definitely great and I love having it running in my game.

Another one I really like is the UI Extensions Cheat Mod. It has a lot of really helpful things it can do and it's really easy to use. You can use it to drag needs a little bit or fill and deplete them completely, get rid of moodlets, easily add or subtract money from family funds, it also allows you to see the actual relationship value for both friendship and romance by clicking on the sim in your relationship panel and can increase or decrease both as needed. I get a LOT of use out of this mod.

Personally I use MCC to set my own lifespans. I use normal as a baseline; but I make adults live 70 days as adults rather than 20. In my opinion it gives a slightly more realistic lifespan. Without it, Sims were too old before their children were grown and forget seeing grandchildren. Now my Sims have more time.

First one is a mod that changes the townie name pool to more english names, than MCCC, but just because I also want to see the unplayed households to carry on with their lifes, then some custom traits for more variety, then another mod I think I am not allowed to discuss here because it would raise the t-rating here >:) :D

If you're a fan of watching tv with your sims and hate the video distortion that happens whenever you speed the time up, check out this mod:

This is another mod that gets rid of distortion when speeding up time, but it's for stereos:

I use the TV mod, but the one for stereos is no longer needed because there is an in-game option for this. Options>Audio> uncheck "Match Speed Stereo Music."

MCCC and UI Cheats Extension are probably my must-haves. I have several others, but those 2 are definitely ones I couldn't play without.

Yup, same here!

That sounds familiar now that you mention it. I might have deleted this mod when that setting came out, then, but I can't remember.

No Fitness/Muscle change for gameplay. UI Cheats Extension and SimInfo for testing things.
