How To Get Mods On Sims 4 Mac
Margit Szermer
I've been playing sims but then I decided to update my mods and add new ones. after I installed them, my sims didn't launch so I went online for help and found out that it might be my mods. I took the mods file out and tried to launch it and it worked. so, I went online on forums on how to spot bad mods and removed the bad mods, but it still won't launch with the mods I have. the problem is that most of my game play was made up of the mods and I don't want to have to delete my households to start over when I spent month on them.
You've clearly got a mod issue and the only way to find which one is causing the problem is to test them. Chances are that you only have a few mods and most of what you have is CC. CC rarely causes a game launch issue so you should start with the mods first.
You will need to move your mods folder to your desktop or elsewhere on your computer out of the game path. Then create a new, empty, mods folder. Move or copy one mod into the new folder and start the game. If it launches, then quit and add another one to the folder and launch again. Rinse and repeat until you find the one stopping the game from launching. Do not save the game while you are doing the testing. Once you've found the mod stopping the game launch, either remove it or see if you can find an updated version. Don't stop until you've tested all of your mods. You may have more than one broken mod, so test them all. If you go through all your mods and don't find the problem, then look at your CC without any mods in the folder. I suggest using the 50/50 method for your CC.
One CC related thing I do know that will keep the game from launching is if you inadvertently put a TS3 CC item in your mods folder (been there, done that) so if you installed any CC just prior to the problem starting, check that CC to make sure it is for TS4.
My Mac barely has no space left. Therefore, I need to move my Sims mods onto my external hard drive. I've understood that this also means I need to move the game itself. Can anyone give me instructions as to how I successfully move mods and Sims 4 onto an external hard drive on a MacBook?
Edit - after a little testing with @puzzlezaddict it turns out that an older version of macOS shows the proper Finder window, not this ugly Origin version. Which macOS are you running? In the screenshot you posted it shows your external drive as the drive with the yellow icon so you should be able to choose that drive and not worry about the workaround instructions.

Tired of brown sack lunches and want your sims to carry their leftovers in something a little more stylish instead? Well with this mod, you can choose between three super cute lunchboxes that will override the sack lunches in game. Styles include: plastic Tupperware container, kids lunchbox and dabba/canister. This is a default replacement which means it will override all lunchboxes in game. Be sure to read the directions before downloading.
This is a really simple mod that makes school projects a little more fun for sims based on their grade in school. As you can probably guess, A students receive a large boost to their fun motive and D and F students receive no boost at all.
Ever heard the saying, it takes a village to raise a child? Well, I believe this is absolutely true and I also believe that the village should also earn parenting skills from taking care of those children. With this mod, other family members such as grandparents, siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles and step-siblings can all earn parenting skills when caring for and disciplining children. Also unlocks the parenting skill for teens too!
Okay so, I am NOT a fan of that bear costume, like at all, lol. If you feel the same way, this mod might be great for you. It prevents child sims from autonomously changing into the costume but unfortunately does not get rid of the negative moodlet that comes from not wearing it during the Bear Phase.
Following the period of rest, your Sim and other Sims around them will have additional dialogue and action options based on that dream and their new feelings, including asking questions about their dream and researching what they might mean.
Made by Sacrificial mods, the zombie apocalypse mod is heavily inspired by Resident Evil, and can see your Sims become terrified or zombified. Trigger a zombie apocalypse with an incredibly cool story mechanic, then decide whether you want to survive or infect.
RoBurky returns with another mod that changes how your sim reacts to life events and personal experiences in the game. The Meaningful Stories mod ensures that your sim expresses their emotions to the people who matter or are important to them and will affect how those memories stay with them throughout their life.
For mod fans who want to get into the nitty-gritty details of playing The Sims, then check out the MC Command Center mega-mod by Deaderpool. This mod is a collection of smaller mods that give you the power to make small adjustments and tweaks to how sims live their lives.
As it is now becoming clear that large collections of addons in the community folder can really slow down the sim startup, various techniques are being used out here to restrict the number of thes addons active at startup.
It would be useful to be able to add/remove or activate/deactivate scenery addons from within the running sim (as is done in P3D, for instance) without having to shut the sim down, make changes, and restart.
There should be a way to reload the community folder as an option in the simulator. Just the community mods. For now, whenever a mod is added its necessary to leave the software and start it again. This option could improve the simulator loading time and even performance as the community folder could be left just with the essential files and the user would select the wanted mods before flying to a specific area.
The problem is that the sim indexes every file (not every mod, every file) during initial startup which is what takes forever. Even a quick refresh to check if anything has been moved or added - and then to only process anything changed - would be welcome.
My question is if MSFS can quickly scan the community folder, for new/updated Aircraft or scenery when you click the window to enter that list of Aircraft, however as rhumbaflappy said, a button would be even better as you would only scan if you have added, or updated, item(s) to your community folder.
This is a brand new, cohesive, comprehensive, modular mod that focuses on neurodiversity, self-esteem, mental health, addiction, evaluation, and treatments. This includes a detailed variety of 25 anxiety, developmental, learning, mood, neurological, personality, body, eating, and mental health conditions affecting infants to elders as well as 4 addictions affecting young adults and older.
While there are many traits and smaller mods which cover various individual aspects of this mod, I wanted to be intentional in making something that was in-depth, inclusive, and comprehensive while also being configurable for different players and their play styles.
Disclaimer: This is not meant to be a 100% accurate representation of these addictions, disorders, or conditions, evaluations, diagnosis, therapies, etc. but a more generalized, Sim-style version. In real life, everyone's experience looks different and so can't be perfectly translated into a mod and there are lengthy, complicated steps to diagnosis and limitations to translating all of this to the Sims 4. That said, the mod is very much informed on a realistic approach as all of my mods are.
