For example, you can drag your sim’s needs to any level you want, you can set skill levels and even check off work tasks if your game is being buggy (or you just can’t be bothered completing it). The UI Cheats mod is essentially just a mod that makes it faster and easier to cheat by clicking on the UI rather than typing out complicated commands in the cheat bar. I haven’t encountered any animation glitches either, so I highly recommend this mod. It’s a simple click in CAS and you’re done! You do have to apply the new height manually, but it’s the least buggy height mod I’ve tried and still use in my game today. This Shorter Teen Height Preset mod allows you to make your teen sims’ shorter. Not only can you not visually distinguish between teens and adults, I personally just don’t like the way teen sims look in The Sims 4. I, like many others, am just not a fan of this. For reasons which I don’t quite understand, this feature wasn’t included in The Sims 4 and teens are the same height and build as young adult and adult sims. Sims teens have been shorter than adults since The Sims 2, making it easy to distinguish them from older sims and giving them their own unique look. Shorter Teen Height Preset by NiveaSimsCC Mods, like CC (custom content), are free to download and use in your game, so here are 5 (and one honourable mention) of my favourite mods for better gameplay in The Sims 4. That being said, there are still many things that have needed to be fixed or added by our community’s talented mod creators.
