I play sims 4 with only 2 mods. Those are very specific to situations i wanted to change in my game. I wouldn't tell they're the best but they def are the best for me :)
One is All names in English. This mod makes all randomized names be in english. My game is not in english but the names it used to generate were awkward. The other is More/less credits. This one is for using more or less credits for degrees in university. I play in short lifespan so ive changed it to only need 4 credits to finish a degree. So my sims can finish a degree in one week.
As soon as i play again, im downloading a couple of mods for the eco lifestyle expansion. At least until there's an official fix of some anoying stuff. Im going to use No eco footprint decay and nap autonomy fixes.
