Hello there! Im new to modding, and Im looking for some mods to enchance my gameplay. But what are some mods that are essentional for your gameplay? Maybe it can help me find something as well, Im looking for mods that adds more drama and randomness to my gameplay. I prefer to play after what happens in the game rather than making those things happen by myself. Cheers yall!

The biggest ones are MCCC and UI Cheats Extension. I'm not sure I would make MCCC my first mod though as it definitely had a learning curve for me. It has many options to allow you to control your game as to story progression, autonomy, and CAS.As for enhancing gameplay, my favorites include Adeepindigo's Education Overhaul which allows virtual education at home, field trips, summer vacations, and private rabbit hole schools. The same modder also has Healthcare Redux which allows Sims to develop illnesses that can be fatal if untreated as well as other milder conditions. The serious stuff is rare enough that it may take you some time in gameplay to encounter it.Meaningful Storiesby RoBurky makes the emotional system in game make more sense. Chemistry System by the pancake1and MizoreYukii is an "attraction system" not for romance but for any relationship which makes it easier or more difficult to gain relationships based on traits and personality. I started using it as a simpler system than Wonderful Whims which has some unwanted things for me. Lumpinou's First Impressions is a fun little mod that gives a sentiment based on a Sims first impression when they meet the first time.Also check out mods by Bienchen and LittleMsSam. They have tons of mods that add gameplay often in very simple ways. If you are looking for Build and Buy objects that enhance gameplay, check out Ravasheen and Pandasama. If you want new aspirations, events, or careers, check out Ilkavelle and KiaraSims.

My mod list has got longer after every recent patch and I consider them all essential.BossMod- No Toilet Pranks. (To fix the fact your sim will prank their own toilet if you own Discover University)lazurusinashes- No Constant Phone Autonomy. (HSY patch compelled me to use this)LittleMsSam- Automatic Thermostat, Movies Be Quiet, No Auto Food Grab After Cooking, Stop Change Phone Colour ObsessionMaars- No More Blocky TV's & Projectors.Zero- All Plan Outfits Cost Money, Jealousy Tweak, No Shy First Kiss, Pay To Travel From Phone, Laundry Day Dry Faster, Automonous Socials, Selective Autochat, Paranormal React To Seances, No Meteor DeathTheKalino- Farm Animals, Hay Shed, Goose, Goat, Horses (These add more variety to Cottage Living)Scrumbumbo- Unlisted Phone Numbers

Right now, I'm playing with only one mod: Zerbu's mod to allow Sims to live in Granite Falls and Selvadorada.

So many of them! MCC, Healthcare redux, dental and eyecare from same modder, UI cheats, meaningful stories, Insimnia's food mods to add different foods to the game.

Oh man, that sounds like something I need to get. Does it let you set the lots to residential, or do you still need to use the Haunted House trick?

I’m so sorry I never saw your question! It’s been updated to work better than ever. I simply set the lots to residential. ???

P.S. I’m back to playing with hundreds of mods now. ?

The most essential are ones I've had for so long that I don't even think about until an update disables mods and I try playing vanilla. One that games to mind is one that steps kids from making messes. There are a lot of essential-but-forgotten ones like that in my folder. MCC is a great one, which I use almost constantly, and I'm a big fan of SimDA for making it easier to find sims to date.

Generally Needed for story setting: MCCC, UI Cheats

Critical to my game play in littlemssam's Mods: - Check Needs of Cats & Dogs, NPC Employee Spawn (I have a few LMS Mods, but these two really help...the others are just things I like)

Also really helpful: TwistedMexi - Live Drag (helps when sims leave things dumb places and I don't have to go into build/buy to move things...this was native in Sims 2, no mod needed)

Of borderline importance, but makes me happy as a family player: AutoShorterTeens Mod, Pre-Teen Mod
