What are the mods you cannot play without?
I just started to think about which mods I find essential and now I'm curious about what other players think. So what are the mods you just cannot be without? My list: [ Spoiler ]
Forum Discussion
My list is rather long, so I'll put it behind a spoiler tag and also combine many mods into just one line overviews by modder. As for why my list of mods "I couldn't play without" is so darn long...it's because I would not play the game at all if it weren't for mods, so basically the summation of all the mods I use are "couldn't play without".
My List:
I add to the list pretty much every time I play. Something comes up in the game that I think should be "different" and I go looking for a mod to do it. If I don't find one, I do it myself.
My List:
- MCCC -- So important it deserves to be on the outside of the spoiler tag.
Spoiler
- Weerbesu's UI Cheats Extension -- Because it's useful
- Weerbesu's More_Cas_Columns -- Because it's how the game should have designed CAS in the first place. Scrolling is for chumps.
- Weerbesu's No Empty Venues when arriving and Improved Autonomy on Loading -- Two mods I didn't know I needed or wanted until I tried them.
- Zerbu's more CAS presets, More Selectable Icons
- Various tweaks by Bienchen -- I have over 300 individual .package files that are hers. They make the game 1000x times better.
- Various tweaks by LittleMsSam -- I have 155 various .package and script mods from her. They assist the above in making the game 1000x better.
- Carl's Gameplay (difficulty) Overhaul mod -- Because I like my sims to have to work a little bit to earn things.
- Scumbobo's Don't Wash Dishes where you Angry Poop -- because no sim should wash the dishes in the bathroom.
- cLinely's Interaction Sorter and Andirz's Better Pie Menu-- Because I'm very OCD about organization, and having the Pie Menus be arranged and ordered exactly how I want them to be pleases me.
- TMex's mods for Better Build/Buy, No Weather in Build/Buy, All Scenarios and All Cheats - Because they are good
- Coolspear's Quicker Autonomy and Turbodriver's Simulation Unclogger -- because they keep all the sims active and doing things instead of just standing around with idle animations half the time.
- TheFoodGroup's Custom Food Interactions and just shy of 100 new foods to go with it -- Because I like food! Especially the additional Vampire-friendly food it adds.
- Brazenlotus's various modded CC that adds additional game functionality.
- Ravasheen's various modded CC that adds additional game functionality.
- PandaSama's modded CC that adds additional game functionality...especially all the toddler stuff!
- MidniteTech's careers, not all of them..but a lot of them. Especially all of her additional "odd jobs"
- KiaraSims mods -- a ton of new Event types, traits, aspirations, and more.
- Kuttoe's mods -- a ton more traits and a minor overhaul of RoM potions
- Lot51 -- Ding Dong Ditch doorbell. I can never hear when visitors knock on the door. I wanted a doorbell, they gave me one.
- Lotharihoe -- Various tweaks and fixes that none of the above covered
- MissyHissy's Hobbymod, Personality Mod and Custom Whimsets -- to give sims more personality and variety.
- VickySim's Club Filters so I can use all the above added traits (and more) as filters for club admittance.
- Simvasion -- various bug fixes
- ThePancake1 -- Some new interactions, like bed cuddling, slow dancing, and more. Also the ability to remove sims from conversations just be right clicking them in the conversation ui in the top center of the screen.
- Zero's mods -- Various fixes and tweaks to gameplay, plus craftable brooms and wands. Which is awesome. And better ghosts.
- Many other Miscellaneous mods, including about 50 override and tuning mods I made for myself and several that add new gameplay, like more spells for RoM, more careers, more aspirations, etc.
I add to the list pretty much every time I play. Something comes up in the game that I think should be "different" and I go looking for a mod to do it. If I don't find one, I do it myself.
Did not know there was a doorbell mod, I definitely need that one. Thank you!
Is the washing dishes mod still necessary? I didn't think they washed dishes in a sink you have set for bathroom anymore? Although, a lot of time I do forget to set my sinks to whatever room they're in.
