It’s quite easy to install Sims mods-just download these files and put them into the empty “Mods” folder in the game’s directory, which EA has helpfully placed there already for all you aspiring modders. Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s get to the mods. “Non-default” puts the mod into other categories, usually somewhere in the accessories or skin details, so you can mix and match. You can only have one default mod in each category. “Default” mods, which you’ll see for eyes and skin tones, replace the game’s default options. “Mesh required” means that the mod you’re downloading is either a retexture or a recolor of another Simmer’s 3D model, which means that you’ll also need to download that model and put it in your game. Here’s a primer: “BGC” stands for “base game compatible,” meaning you don’t have to own anything other than the base game to use the mod. Why not make them look their very best?Ī Quick Word About Simmer Terms: Sims modders use some terminology that makes perfect sense if you’re enmeshed in the community, but not as much sense if you aren’t. How Sims look can impact how you see their personality, and how you direct them as they bumble through life. As seasoned Simmers know, making a Sim is the important first step in telling a story in the game. (If you’re looking to get into Sims 4 modding, that’s the best place to start.) For this instalment, I’m taking a look at the mods that change how your Sims look.

In the first part of this series rounding up the most essential Sims mods, I ran down the modes you should install to change how the game plays. Reblog, Reblog, Reblog let’s spread the word!

Some of the makeup is not gonna look perfect, just mess around with different powders/blushes and different skin tones. Being that this is my first time & I don’t know how to make jack shit, I did makeup recolors. I was playing around this week and decided to also create makeup for them. They are non default skintones that can be found under the skin tones tab and not the skin details. So I decided to look at tutorials and bam!…I made some skintones.


So while hunting for new skintones I got mad as hell because we all know there are not enough flattering brown tones out there.
