Fortunately, The Sims 2 has a fairly straightforward way to achieve this. Here's how players can customize their Sims 2 experience. The first step is to find the custom content the player wants to install. The easiest way to do this is to visit websites dedicated to The Sims ' custom content, also called mods. There are several well-established websites online, such as the popular Mod the Sims.
Here, players can download as much content as they like. Some popular custom content includes buildings , premade Sims, objects and household equipment, and much more. However, players should be warned that not every mod will work.
For example, some CC will work only if the player has a certain The Sims 2 data disc. Other times, certain CC must be installed alongside several other mods, as they are connected to each other. To make sure players have everything they need for the mod to work, just check the mod's requirements. Once the player downloads the mods they want, they will usually be saved in the Downloads file on their computer.
From there on, it takes a matter of seconds to open the ZIP file and extract its content. The next step is to copy the relevant files into the game's files. Specifically, players should create a file called Downloads in the file within the game. The Sims 2 can be found in a file called EA Games, and from there, it's easy to click and create the Downloads file. Please log in with your username or email to continue.

You can find Sims to download on just about any custom content site, like Mod The Sims or Garden of Shadows, but some creators will also share their Sims on social media platforms like Tumblr or LiveJournal.
Check that you have any needed expansions for the Sim. If a Sim was created with clothing, hair, or accessories from an expansion or stuff pack you don't have, they won't look the same when you install them.
Download the Sim. Every site has different download options, but you'll usually click on a "Download" button to download the content.
Use an adblocker to hide sketchy or confusing ads that may also have download buttons on them. The download will be saved to your computer's Downloads folder. Extract the file, if needed. If you download one of these, you'll need to extract it to install the Sim. On Windows, use 7Zip to extract files.
On Mac, use The Unarchiver. Double-click on the file to extract it. Double-click on the Sims2Pack to install it. Custom Food Interactions is the mod you need to add new foods to your game! With it, you can download a plethora of choices, like ramen or udon, mini pizzas, soups, dumplings, or breads.
Continuing on with the food theme, it's definitely worth highlighting these two mods by the super-talented modder, icemunmun. The first of the two is the Functional Canning Station. This mod adds in the Canning Station from the Sims 3 and gives your Sims the ability to can 15 different preserves everything from honey spread to mango chutney , which give off some unique buffs when your Sims consume them!
There's also a level Canning Skill associated with the mod! This is a great mod for anyone who liked the Canning Station from The Sims 3 or who is looking for a new activity for their Sims to enjoy in the game. This mod brings 10 new cotton candy flavours and buffs to go with all of them. It's definitely worth checking out all of icemunmun's mods, as she does lots of nice food-related ones.
You can never have enough food in the game! All iterations of The Sims games have come with careers created by the fans, but The Sims 4 is finally getting a few custom careers of its own. We do have to thank the talented Neia for creating her modding tool, which has allowed modders to easily create customer careers of their own. Here are some of my favourite custom careers:. Modders and CC creators have increasingly begun to upload their content onto their own sites instead of ModTheSims for many reasons, but that's another article.
There's nothing wrong with that, but you need to be careful, as some creators hide their download links behind a thing called AdFly, or host their downloads on really spammy sites. The best thing is to use AdBlocker when downloading; it'll keep you safe from viruses or overly spammy AdFly pages!
Want to give your Sims the lifestyle of the rich and famous? Then try out Sacrificial Road to Fame mod! This mod adds tons of new gameplay, including skills Simstagram Skill , fame levels, buffs, new interactions and animations, fans and paparazzi and more! This mod is really fun and in-depth due to all the cool abilities Sacrificial created for it.
It feels more like an official expansion pack due to the depth, and is definitely a good pack for anyone who misses the celebrity elements from The Sims 3. Sacrificial also updates the mod regularly and if you subscribe to his Patreon page, you can get updates as soon as he releases them and adds new, fun elements. Are you frustrated that your cats and dogs aren't playable in The Sims 4?
It does have some basic interactions that you can do as a pet, such as 'investigate' or 'perform routine', but I like this mod because it allows you to select your pet and stop them from doing certain interactions, force them do interactions like eat, sleep, play, etc. If you miss the fairies from The Sims 3, don't worry- talented modder, Nyx has brought them back in a new and unique way with their Fairies mod!

This is another really well developed mod with tons of abilities, traits, skills, and more that'll give you hours of additional game play!
I don't know about you, but I've been dying for The Sims 4 to create a beach vacation world. Thankfully, while we wait for the official beach world to come out if it ever does , we can play with Nandos and SimsFans' Tropical Getaway Mod! The mod replaces the woodsy exterior of Granite Falls into a tropical destination, with beaches, waterfalls and volcanoes in the distance, sand on the ground, and even new beach-themed lots. Zerbu the above creator of the Go To School mod also made new traits for this mod 'Relaxer' and 'Beach Junkie' , and there's even new CAS clothing that will look great on your beach-going Sims.
I really love this mod! I don't keep it in my game all the time, but I love putting it in when my Sims want to take a tropical vacation and relax on the beach! Sims 4 modders have been creating custom traits and aspirations for quite some time now, and there are TONS out there. You can browse the traits and aspirations tags on ModTheSims or SSSVitlans' Tumblr, but here are some of my favourite custom traits and aspirations, that I think are worth a mention:.
This one doesn't add to the actual game play, but it's definitely a must-have if you're a generations-type player, or anyone who plays the game for more than a few days. Here's the thing: The Sims 4 has a huge glitch in it, where it culls deletes Sims from your neighborhood bin.
This happens after an in-game week, or when your population reaches over The game does this to keep things running smoothly, which seems great in theory, but the problem comes with whom it chooses to cull— anyone your Sims haven't interacted with lately— so that might be old friends, old family, or even ghosts.
This causes a bunch of problems; relationships already decay quickly in the game, so that best friend you haven't called in a few weeks?
Well, she's deleted now. Oh, and that ghost in your family tree? Well, now it's been culled from the game and that spot in your family tree is vacant :. The No Culling Mod again, by the talented Neia does exactly what it says, and it's essential for anyone who wants to keep their family trees intact and play with all the Sims they've created or befriended. You can easily do your own culling by periodically going through the neighborhood menu and deleting Sims manually and you can keep an eye on your population by downloading this small Get Town Population mod.
This is a must-have for any player, in my opinion! I've finally added one of the most popular, albeit risque mods for the Sims 4 to this page- turbodriver's Wicked Whims. I'll be completely honest with you- I do not use this mod in my game woohoo under the covers is just fine with me, haha , but if you want to have more fully animated X-rated options for woohoo in the game, this is the mod for you. As I update this page, I'll be 'retiring mods' from the list. That doesn't mean that they're not still worth downloading or that they're broken; it simply means that there are newer, cooler mods to download at the moment.
Here's some of the mods that I once featured here, which are still worth adding to your game:. It doesn't alter gameplay, except cosmetically. Yes, there sure is. Sims 4 online multiplay is fairly new and I haven't tried it yet myself to call it a 'must-have' mod!
