New Lot Traits
Mods that deal with lot traits are always coming out, and in June, we had three in particular worth looking into. First, we have the Preferences lot trait mod, which allows you to set one of three traits for your lot. Whichever you choose will influence the sims on that lot to do specific actions more than others. These actions have to do with which trait you choose.
Next, we have the More Visitors lot trait mod for you! This one will simply increase the amount of sims that visit and go into a lot. Pretty straightforward there!
Finally, there’s the Dress Code lot trait mod, which adds six lot traits to the game. This will allow you to set whatever you want people to wear to the lot. Perfect for making ultra fancy or summer fun lots.
Unlock the Event Items
Don’t have time to play The Sims 4 during their events? Don’t worry! This mod has your back. With it, you will be able to unlock PlantSim items, Planters, Easter Eggs, and Bun Bun. You won’t have had to take part in those events, and even better, you won’t have to dig through the debug or cheats to get them if you want them!
Get Out of My Lot
If you don’t feel like going through cheats or another larger mod to be able to force any sim off the current lot, you can go with this mod! That’s right, you won’t have to individually ask everyone to leave. Just download it and it will add a new interaction on doors that will let you choose up to 50 sims to kick right out.
Earbuds Fun
If you got the fitness stuff pack that released in June, you might be a bit weirded out that the earbuds don’t increase a sim’s fun while they’re listening to music. Have no fear, this mod is here! As always, modders fix the issues that EA leaves behind right up.
No More Neighborly Noise
With City Living, your sims got some eccentric neighbors to live out their sitcom fantasies in the city. This mod aims to muffle whatever apartment so that your sims are never disturbed by their noisy neighbors again. Keep in mind that your sims can still disturb them, though!
No Elders or Ghosts in Clubs
It’s pretty weird to head to the club with your friends and come face to face with old people and ghosts, isn’t it? This modder agreed and made it so that elders and ghosts have no place in clubs.
Less School Time
If you think that your child and teen sims could use more free time, then this mod is for you. It lessens the amount of time that they’re locked into a school day.
Faster Character Values
While character values are an awesome addition thanks to The Sims 4: Parenthood, they take a really long time to increase or decrease to their maximum. Unless you do that, you won’t reap the reward of the new traits that came with the game pack, too. This mod helps us all out by making the decay and gain much faster.
No Over-Sleeping
Your sims can continue sleeping for hours even after their energy motive is filled up. This is, of course, stupid. So, this mod aims to fix that! Now, your sims will not continue sleeping if their motive bar is all full.
Cut the Autonomy Out
Every month, more autonomy disabling mods release, and June was no different. We had a few that might tickle your fancy!
New Traits
As always, there are some new mods that add new traits to The Sims 4. You can make the ultimate sim, just as you want them to be! These are all working with their own moodlets and wants and sometimes even aspirations.
The Perfect Nanny
Do you find the nanny really annoying? Are they basically just barely keeping your toddler alive? Well, look no further than this mod for help. It will make it so that your nanny will avoid all the random stuff that occupied their attention before. No more random TV or napping!
You Can Work From Home, Ohoh ohoh~
There have been a variety of “work from home” mods releasing since May, and it continues in June with the Entertainer career. This mod, for those that don’t know, adds the option for sims to work from home. Much like the new City Living careers did!
No Needs Butler
If you’re tired of your butler complaining about such basic mortal needs as sleep and hunger, then this mod is for you! It takes away all the motive decay for your butler sim so that they are, essentially, unstoppable housekeeping machines.
Less Randos
This mod makes it so that the game will not generate as many random townies, and will instead revert jobs and things like that to sims already in the worlds.
School Changes
Some mods released that alter some of the school experience. First, we have the Teen Homework Fix mod that fixes the weird phenomenon of teens completing their homework and then not putting it in their inventory. Next, we have a sort of cheat mod that will help increase your child or teen sim’s performance at school as well as automatically complete their homework for them. Every kid’s dream!
Realistic Restaurants
Restaurants in The Sims 4 are pretty crazy for staying open 24/7, working those waiters and cooks to the bone. This mod aims to change the restaurants to make them more realistic. There will be rush hours, hours of closing, more expensive meals, and more!
Sell Household Inventory
Isn’t it annoying to have to sell each and every Household Inventory item at once? I agree, the community agrees, and this modder agreed. With this mod, you’ll be able to just sell all of the household inventory items in one fell swoop!
Cookbook
With this mod, your sims will be able to buy a cookbook for 50 simoleons that grants them the knowledge of how to cook any cultural recipe!
