Bored With The Sims 4? Refresh Them With These Mods in 2023!

The Sims is one of the most phenomenal series of video games, especially if you consider that it's been around for nearly two decades. The latest installment, The Sims 4, is sure a fun game, but you can make it even better with our selection of mods!

Brookheights - open world

This is going to sound weird, but COVID-19 has had an incredibly good impact on The Sims 4. Arnie, one of the modders, lost his job due to the pandemic. He used the spare time to create a mod called Brookheights Open Worlds, a genuine open world. This is in no way an exaggeration or marketing ploy, as you will no longer see any loading screens when moving to a new map. And that doesn't mean there's nothing to do in Brookheights. To the contrary – you will find a lot of interesting attractions.

The additional world represents a new country of sorts. You will need a work visa to obtain employment, which you can get at a specific building. Speaking of elements of the city, we should mention that some buildings are fully interactive – that is, you can enter them freely and see with your own eyes what is going on there (of course, this is done without loading screens). You can use the money you earn to buy a car, as it's possible to drive around the town. And if a driving isn't enough, visit the local airport and get on a plane – yes, the map is big enough to fly over it. To top it off, the creator even provided a storyline. Of course, don't count on a gripping story, but rather a nice addition to the world you're exploring.

HOW TO INSTALL

The mod has an automatic installer, but it only works properly if you use the English version of the game and install it in the default directory. Otherwise, take these steps:

  1. Download Brookheights Open World Mod.
  2. Unzip the downloaded archive and navigate to the Brookheights folder.
  3. Open the Manual Installfolder.
  4. Place the contents of the GRAPHICS folder in the C: \ Users \ [username] \ Documents \ Electronic Arts \ The Sims 4 \ ConfigOverride
  5. Folder (the entire folder, not only its contents) MODS AND CC put in the C: \ Users \ [username] \ Documents \ Electronic Arts \ The Sims 4 \ Mods.
  6. Place the contents of the SAVE FILE folder in the C: \ Users \ [username] \ Documents \ Electronic Arts \ The Sims 4 \ Saves.
  7. Then open the folder where you installed The Sims 4 . There's a few folders here, where you need to place the remaining files of the downloaded archive.
  8. Open the Manual Install folder again and navigate to the GAME folder.
  9. Place the contents of the WORLDS folder in The Sims4Delta folder, agree to replace files.
  10. Place the contents of the CAMERA SYSTEM folder in The Sims4 \ Game \ Bin \ res directory and agree to replace the files.
  11. Uff, its done. Make sure you have enabled the use of mods in the game options.

HOW TO START?

The author has prepared a special game save (contained in the SAVE FILE folder) – it contains everything needed to start playing the Brookheights mod. After loading the game, take a look at the picture in your house – Amos' story has just begun.
