List of mods

While no list of mods for the various The Sims games can be anywhere close to complete, this is a (very) partial list of some of the more useful, interesting, or popular ones. Note that mods may have more than one version, and that some mods were not updated for later expansion packs. Players should always make sure they are downloading the correct version for the latest expansion pack they have, and that there is a version for that expansion pack.

The Sims 2
Note: Some mods for The Sims 2 will cause occupied residential lots to reset, in the same way that installing a new expansion pack or stuff pack does.

abortbedmaking

This small mod makes bed-making an abortable action. Originally, the "Make Bed" action could not be aborted; even if it was canceled before the Sim reached the bed, he or she would continue the action and make the bed. With this mod, the action can be stopped at any time before the Sim actually starts making the bed. If the action is canceled while the Sim is making the bed, he or she will finish, but will not continue after that.

This small mod changes the way Sims handle empty coffee, espresso, and hot chocolate cups. With this mod, Sims will only place empty cups on a surface if, in their judgment, it is closer than a sink or dishwasher. Otherwise, they will take the cup to the sink or dishwasher.

Players should note that this mod occasionally causes a minor "jump bug" when washing a cup in a sink. While this is only a mild annoyance if it happens to a household member, the Headmaster will vanish if it affects him.

Less Addictive Espresso Bar

This small mod modifies how strongly the Impresso Espress-o-Matic espresso bar advertises. Beginning with Open for Business, the espresso bar began advertising very strongly. As a result, Sims would tend to swarm it, and to ignore other attractions on the lot. With this mod, the advertising is reduced so that Sims will still use it autonomously, but it will not overwhelm other attractions on the lot.

Less Robot Breakage

This small mod reduces the amount of "wear" that is added to Roverbots and Hoverbots each time they activate. As a result, they tend to break less often, though they will still break.

This mod for FreeTime affects how the game reacts to Sims' gains in hobby enthusiasm. It prevents the hobby instructors from visiting the lot or making phone calls when Sims gain enthusiasm. The pop-up messages will still appear, but the instructor will not call or visit. The exception to this is the calls offering subscriptions to the hobby magazines, which will still come.

This University related mod prevents the game from generating new secret society members when a member either dies or is made playable. Instead, a young adult townie who qualifies for society membership will be made a member.

No Intro
No Intro is a small mod which stops The Sims 3 intro from playing every time the player launches the game. It was created by Rick at ModTheSims.
