WonderfulWhims is one of the most important mods for this game – it extends and diversifies the relationships between sims. With this mod, each character has their own style and preferences. This is also grounds for generating events in the game.

The project also expands the personality mechanics, adding archetypes and new special interactions, and allows fake personalities to confuse other characters.

Mortem, in sims' time of dying

The mod introduces a realistic death system, along with everything that death entails. The sims die just like in real life, rather than at the hand of the Reaper. Deaths are confirmed by a doctor, and then you need to organize a funeral.

It also introduces funeral homes with tons of new content and options. Sims can be buried or cremated. There are also many new objects, e.g. cemetery decorations, customizable tombstones, or urns.

Private healthcare

The authors of Mortem have developed a few other, notable modifications, the most interesting of which is Private Practice. We list it as a bonus, because it requires the Get to Work mod).

Private Practice thoroughly overhauls and expands the health mechanics. It introduces health insurance, pharmaceuticals, opticians and plastic surgeons.

Have Some Personality Please! Better conversations and interactions

One of the problems with The Sims 4 is that conversations are about nothing. This mod fixes it. Thanks to it, the dialogues between sims become much more interesting – they can have a simple chat about the weather, or spend a long time on lively discussions.

The mod also increases the frequency of various interactions between characters (such as teasing unpopular people or having a snowball fight) and greatly expands the romancing mechanisms, thanks to which the sims have to work a lot before winning the hearts of other heroes. Instead of a simple kiss, sims require compliments, gifts, and flirting.

A popular category of mods are those adding new personality traits to sims. The best of them are:

1. New Emotion and Traits – 10 additional personality traits related to emotional state of the sims (e.g. stoic, arrogant, or dreamer). Each of these traits provides unique stat modifiers and additional interactions.
2. 15 More Traits! – a similar modification with ten additional features, such as gamer, or guitarist.

More interactions

Another popular category of mods are those that introduce additional types of interaction for sims. If that sounds interesting to you, we recommend the following:

1. Custom Drinks Interactions – offers interactions related to alcoholic beverages, including the ability to create many new types of alcoholic beverages.
2. Custom Food Interactions – this project, in turn, adds food-related interactions, which also includes quite a few new dishes.

Explore Mode, i.e. trips and coaching

Finally, a mention of Explore Mode. The project allows you to send sims to various places. They can go on holidays, coaching delegations and camps (e.g. in photography or guitar) or to a casino.
