For larger mods, last month saw the release of the Slice of Life mod that adds tons of realism to your base game. Firstly, it adds more options for sim cell phone usage and applies to not just playable sims but NPC sims as well.

Teary eyed when sad
Blushing when flirty or embarrassed
Red cheeks when drunk
Red face when a sim has to puke
Bruises on face when a sim loses a fight
Pimples
Gaps when losing teeth when young
Other smaller inclusions are a chance for stinky breath when your sim has low hygiene and your sims feeling drunk when drinking in-game alcohol.

Interactive Terrain Mounds
This mod aims to make normally flat terrains in The Sims 4 more three-dimensional and interactive by allowing sims to dig in mounds found in any terrain to find treasures underneath. It works with desert and beach sand, plain and mossy soil, mulch, dark stones, ash, and snow.
Sims can walk through any mounds, and items can be placed on them as well so you won’t have to worry about losing space on your lots by digging. You sim can find items or money within them, and even a fish you can then place in a bowl and keep as a pet.

Your family will feel much closer when the way they can interact will depend on how they are related to each other.
