Starting out this list of the new Sims 4 mods of October 2020 we have a fix to one of the most common complaints about The Sims 4: its lack of cars.
With this mod, you will finally be able to use and buy cars in the game that access a custom travel menu which allows you to travel around your sim’s town without the use of the map.
The new menu populates with a list of all the non-residential lots found in your game not including space and destination worlds, and allows your sim to travel there instantly just by clicking on the name of the lot.
This also includes hidden lots as long as your sim has visited them at least one time before.
While out, your sim can click on themselves to travel back home (or somewhere else) by car.
Romance Overhaul 2.3
New Sims 4 Mods October 2020
This next mod offers an overhaul of the romance functionality in The Sims 4, replacing version 1.0 from the same mod creator Etheria.
Essentially, this mod fleshes out the romance mechanic in The Sims 4, granting new attractions, affinities/compatibility, and opinions your Sim has about other Sims.
The ‘attractiveness’ mechanic is based on a sim’s looks, personality, and life experience. You sim will be attracted to specific sims based on these metrics making for more interesting and believable relationships.
New animations for this mod that are unique to the new interactions are said to be in the works as well.
Note that this mod requires the Sims 4 Community’s Library v1.38 or later to run, you can get it here.
WonderfulWhims
New Sims 4 Mods October 2020
This next mod also seeks to enhance the romantic elements of The Sims 4, and ended up being likely the most downloaded mod last month with over 77,000 downloads on Mod The Sims alone at the time of writing.
Along with romantic enhancements, the WonderfulWhims mod also adds to social and pregnancy mechanics.
There is a whole attractiveness system that accounts for a sim’s parent’s preferences, every visual element of another sim, a sim’s personal preferences (hair length, clothing, facial hair, etc.), and more.
This allows for sims to note when others sims could be a ‘magnetic match’, or even a perfect partner. There are special moodlets and descriptions if your sim happens to find a good match while out meeting new people.
There is also a whole new impressions system that aids in building chemistry. With nine different archetypes that correspond with traits, sims will be able to find other like-minded partners that have similar views of the world.
The mod also includes the expansion of pregnancy mechanics with a full menstrual cycle, along with birth control and other options.
