Must Have Mods

Mods WILL break every time there is a patch. While EA is very mod friendly, they consistently update at least once a month. Every time the game updates, something will potentially and inevitably break - particularly UI mods.
READING INSTRUCTIONS IS IMPORTANT. This cannot be stressed enough. You are responsible for what goes into your Mods Folder. There are mods out there that are quite complex and have a lot of modules - make sure you know what you’re getting into!

You WILL need to make sure your files are organized. Sims 4 Mods need to be maintained.

If you need help setting up your folder, take a trip over to the File & Folder Organization page. </aside>
