FASHION AND MODELING CAREER
Best Sims 4 Mods of May 2018
This mod gives you a custom career path that lets your Sim rise in the ranks of fashion or modelling. This version has three tracks with four levels each, with normal salaries compared to similar in-game career paths and work days running from 9AM – 5PM. The three tracks include Fashion Design that requires skills in both painting and charisma, Modelling that requires skills in charisma and fitness, and Fashion Writer that requires skills in writing and charisma. Finishing the tracks can allow your sim to become a Popular Fashion Design Expert, Superstar Model, or Editor-in-Chief of a fashion magazine.
HARDCORE GAMER TRAIT
Best Sims 4 Mods of May 2018
If you’re creating a sim that aims to be in the gaming career path or has a goal to build their own insane gaming den, this mod will be exactly what you’re looking for as it grants you a new hardcore gamer trait to customize your sims. Sims with the trait will gain positive moodlets like focused or happy while they are playing video games with either a console, computer, or phone. Not only this, but sims with the hardcore gamer trait can gain the video game skill much faster.
CHILDREN CAN WALK DOGS
Best Sims 4 Mods of May 2018
This new mod lets children be able to walk dogs for the first time in the Sims 4, even though there is really no reason they shouldn’t be able to. Once installed, any child sims can interact with a dog and select one of the following:
- Go for a short walk.
- Go for a middle walk.
- Go for a long walk.
- Go jogging with your dog.
If the Parenthood expansion is installed, the act of a child walking a dog will also raise their responsibility.
TUBE TELEPORTER
Best Sims 4 Mods of May 2018
After several requests for tube elevators, the creator of this mod decided tube teleporters would be the next best bet. In order for the tube teleporter to work, you must also put several markers around it so sims can interact with it. These include one red “Master Marker” behind a basement floor tube, and a green “Slave Marker” behind the rest of the tube. Another mod entitled Wee Albet’s “Elevator Increase” mod is needed for it to function, with it included in the list of downloads for this mod.
MORE REALISTIC TREES
Best Sims 4 Mods of May 2018
To make your game look just that little bit better, this mod makes all the trees in The Sims 4 look more realistic by removing the fade on them when you get closer in live mode. This mod also works on bushes, and functions when in camera mode as well. Be warned though, this mod will not work if you have the FakeHousesIRealAwesome mod or Nothead mod installed as well. Make sure to delete those more outdated ones so this one can run effectively.
MAX WINDOW GUARDS
Best Sims 4 Mods of May 2018
While pets and children are not actually in danger with open windows in your home, these window guards in various colors and styles can help imply a sense of safety while also adding some beautiful new details to your sim’s home. There are five wrought iron patterns in total, each available in black and white. Sims can technically walk through them, so they can also be used to make custom trellises or be used instead of curtains to shield light wouldn’t sacrificing the functionality of a door.
TUCK IN ANIMATION FOR ANY AGE
Best Sims 4 Mods of May 2018
In vanilla Sims 4, only child sims are able to be tucked in by other older sims when going to bed. This mod allows an older sim to have the ability to tuck in any sim regardless of their age from child up. This way, you can show affection to any age by making sure they are nice and cozy with the sheets all tucked in. This mod was one of the most popular one from last month, with almost 7,000 downloads on Mod the Sims in just a few weeks.
MARKET VENDOR CAREER
Best Sims 4 Mods of May 2018
The Get to Work expansion is required for this new mod to work, and once installed it allows your sims to pursue a career path as a market vendor for a modest but honest salary. The main skills required to advance in the career are gardening and gourmet cooking, with “excursions” into other skills as well to allow your sims to have a bit more variety in how they better themselves to get that promotion. You will be able to start out as a Market Hand at level one, and as you advance you can then choose to go into the Deli Foods Dealer or Market Management branches.
MAKEUP ARTIST CAREER
Best Sims 4 Mods of May 2018
Another very popular career path mod from last month allows your sims to choose to become a Makeup Artist. It comes with just one track with 10 levels, with charisma and photography being the necessary skills to level up in order to advance. You’ll start out as a Cosmetology Student, and work until you finally reach the top as a full-blown Celebrity Makeup Artist. The salary for this modded career is somewhat higher than other other vanilla paths of similar types. The modder says they are a freelance makeup artist themselves in the mod description, so the details should be pretty spot on with this one.
STURDY BIRD CAGE
Best Sims 4 Mods of May 2018
Despite birds being included in the Sims 3 Pets expansion, The Sims 4 did not include them in the Cat and Dogs expansion or in the My First Pet pack. So when another mod added animated Macaws and animated Toucans (included in the related uploads for this mod), all that was left were cages to keep them in. This mod offers a bird cages that functions with the birds and comes in a variety of colors to choose from. Cheats are not needed to move the birds into the cages, and the animated movements of the birds are not affected by them being inside at all. Other still sculptures can be placed inside them (with cheats), and the cage can be found in the decorative category under sculptures priced at 120 Simoleons.
