Free mod manager for all four Sims games (early version, feedback welcome)

Hi everyone,

 

I play more than one Sims game, and my mods ended up scattered across four folders with four different ways of doing things. Every mod manager I tried only handled a single game, usually Sims 4. That is why I built my own instead of using an existing one: I wanted all my mods for all four games centralized in one place.

 

The Sims Mod Manager is a free desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux. What it does right now:

 

  • One library for The Sims 1, 2, 3 and 4, and the UI re-themes itself to match whichever game you are managing (it even plays the classic Sims 1 UI sounds)
  • Finds your mods folders automatically, including localized folder names and Ultimate Collection installs
  • One click enable and disable, nothing is ever deleted
  • Reads .package files to show real thumbnails and a content breakdown instead of a plain file list
  • Warns about conflicts when two enabled mods share a file name
  • If a game has no mods folder yet, it creates one with the framework files the game needs, like the Sims 3 Resource.cfg

It is an early version, so expect some rough edges. I would love feedback, bug reports and feature ideas. Down the line I want to add The Sims Medieval, the SimCity games and maybe even inZOI and Paralives.
