What’s Your Dream Mod?
Added 2025-03-23 11:45:54 +0000 UTCI’m always dreaming up new mods, and I’d love to hear your ideas. If you could add anything to The Sims 4 — no matter how big, small, chaotic, or completely off-the-wall — what would it be?
Is there a gameplay feature you’ve always wanted? A new career, a life mechanic that’s missing, or something that would make your stories more immersive or fun?
Drop your Dream Mod ideas in the comments below! Whether it’s a fully fleshed-out concept or just a random spark, I’d love to hear what’s living rent-free in your Simmer brain.
Let’s brainstorm together — who knows, your idea might just inspire the next big project!
Can’t wait to read your ideas!

I replied in the chat, but just in case you don't see, I have a Storytelling Career Pack, which has a Paralegal branch in it, with no promotions and work-from-home tasks. Let me know if you'd like Medical Coder adding to it.

2025-04-17 15:30:52 +0000 UTCI'm searching for a career mod that doesn't include promotions. In real life, I work full-time as a Medical Coder, which is my dream job, and I would love to see that represented as a career option in The Sims 4, allowing me to either work from home or through a rabbit hole. I work from home in real life. and another suggestion is Paralegal as a non-promotion job in the Sims 4, so they can also work from home or through a rabbit hole as well please and thank you

2025-04-13 07:47:06 +0000 UTCI have a lot of "real" fast food places and stores in my game. I would love regular blue collar jobs like McDonalds, Subway, Walmart, etc.

2025-03-27 20:46:11 +0000 UTCRoyality similar to the royal legacy challenge thinking of a young adult or a teen thinking of earning money for either university or start their own business doing odd and part time jobs and by doing this helping them decideon what to take at university or business to get into once have the money to start it where maybe you tie it in with your careers and the new business hobby pack Rags to Riches or any other challenge with your own twist that you like Hoarders flip it or any other house flipper where you need to clean out broken run down abandonded builds flip them for townies to live in the world

2025-03-27 20:27:44 +0000 UTCMainly rabbit holes I guess because after an active day the sim will probably have other things to do. It would almost make a rabbit hole career semi active for your secondary sims you know the ones you dont want to play all day so a rabbit hole for 8 hrs is good but when they're back home you can still have a little career gameplay with them.

2025-03-27 16:17:53 +0000 UTCYes it will be in between other releases. I always have multiple projects on the go, but it will take a while as I’m adding a LOT of stuff

2025-03-27 11:50:50 +0000 UTCSimkatu has a whole pack of realistic book covers!
midnitetech
2025-03-27 11:49:08 +0000 UTCAs an ex D&D-er, yes! I also wanted to make a Magic: the Gathering card table game! I even have a WIP folder called Roll for Initiative! 😂
midnitetech
2025-03-27 11:46:57 +0000 UTCIf you could fill in a mod request form on my website with any more details, I will definitely take this into consideration! I haven’t tried any mods in that field myself, so if you let me know what you would like to see that hasn’t existed before that would be great!
midnitetech
2025-03-27 11:45:25 +0000 UTCSomeone suggested this to me a while ago and it’s still on my to do list.
midnitetech
2025-03-27 11:43:53 +0000 UTCI’ve made one, but it didn’t garner much interest. Do you have anything specific in mind?
midnitetech
2025-03-27 11:43:30 +0000 UTCThat sounds cool! I guess it could be introduced as an optional career event? Like, ‘{0.SimFirstName}’s boss needs him/her to network at an important event, but he/she will be gone all weekend. What do you do?’
midnitetech
2025-03-27 11:42:59 +0000 UTCOoh I like this! Do you mean exclusively for rabbithole careers rather than semi active?
midnitetech
2025-03-27 11:40:48 +0000 UTCI've always wished careers had more at home tasks. Like if each career had it's own menu on the pc that allowed you to continue what you were presumably doing during rabbit hole hours eg. Follow up with co workers, fill out reports, continue working on projects, submitting things for review etc. And get notifications from coworkers about what you're working on.
Karen O`Brien
2025-03-27 05:35:30 +0000 UTCI don't know if it currently exists as a mod for jobs but a job that makes like... business people have to travel extended periods of time? Like they'd go to work as normal but be gone for like a few weeks of sims time; traveling work for deals / what not. I hope this makes sense. Would add more spice if your sims are having an affair or something :D

GreyZone
2025-03-26 01:28:56 +0000 UTCBetween the karaoke contests from City Living, Get Famous, and the new Business & Hobbies kiosk, there has got to be an easier way to do some sort of active pop star career that makes ACTUAL sense. I've tried all the mods but non of them quite get it right.
Jessi Penrose
2025-03-25 21:36:43 +0000 UTCDo you plan on releasing it as you are releasing your careers as you remake them or once you have them cleared on your schedule Will keep an eye out for it
Whisperskeep
2025-03-25 19:11:49 +0000 UTCwould love a mod that adds a dnd style board game for 4 sims to play sort of like how the current in game cards table works and like custom chance cards would give 2 choices to progress the campaign and maybe an interaction for the sims to prep and set up their characters class and backstory on the computer , a custom skill to go with it and as they get better more chance cards appear for different campaign scenarios , custom animations as they're playing, maybe a way to implement club/business activities that are related to the game and an aspiration to go with it called dungeon master . idk if this would even be possible to implement since it is pretty involved so maybe as a caveat these features could be implemented on a sims computer instead with custom interactions sort of like dnd but online w friends instead of in person but it would be so fun and add storytelling opportunities for our nerdy sims ! def would be a dream to have in game :)

2025-03-25 18:55:32 +0000 UTCIt’s a difficult one… better exceptions conflict detector is probably the best out there as it will tell you if two mods use the same resource.

2025-03-25 10:14:27 +0000 UTCWow I didn’t know either! Sounds epic!

2025-03-25 10:12:12 +0000 UTCIt’s definitely possible - sounds like something TwistedMexi could create! Not sure if he takes requests, but UI modding is a deep water I’ve only ever dipped my toe in!
midnitetech
2025-03-25 10:11:50 +0000 UTCThere is a creator name Muva Simmer, she was mods for everyone but centered more for the urban community. However she is no longer active since March 2023 and I’ve seen mod creators take over dead accounts , I think you should look into her . Her mods were very popular! But now they are outdated . She had traits such as: Teen mom WAP Possessive Raunchy Needy Papa bear Narcissistic NBA yb Stan ( lol this is for nba young boy fans ) Latina AF Hoodrat Brat City girl Shea butter baby Stud ( lesbian) Throat Queen ( sexual ) She also had urban jobs , like trap salon, bando , lash district, urban social and gang thang lol the shit was super creative

2025-03-24 16:49:20 +0000 UTCU are right omg i actually forgot all about that mod from them !! My bad, I seen it but didn’t know it was that deep . Thank u for reminding me

2025-03-24 12:27:52 +0000 UTCI love these! Especially the Bookstore & Magazine Mods!
midnitetech
2025-03-24 12:26:27 +0000 UTCI was also thinking that it would be great if we could create own secrets that other sims could discover that would make sense? I like the snoop interactions but I kinda hate that it is so random, I would prefer if the secret was something that was actually true for the sim. I am not sure how it would be doable, but it would be so fun.

2025-03-24 01:21:14 +0000 UTCI would love more afterschool activities for kids, especially sports! like soccer and basketball! if you made some with this detail you put into your careers i would be so happy
Wendy Sanka
2025-03-24 00:24:17 +0000 UTCVery simple wishes for me :) a cold plunge tub, more realistic book covers, freelance video editing job, and a tablet/ipad where sims can do their homework or write in their journal.

2025-03-23 23:10:14 +0000 UTCAll I want is searchable CAS (search by creator) because I have so much CC, but idk if that's even possible as a mod lol

2025-03-23 22:21:04 +0000 UTCLumpinou's LGBTQ+ mod has fantastic features for trans sims, that include playable transition steps (both medical and non-medical) and a coming out system that you should definitely check out.

2025-03-23 20:28:14 +0000 UTCokay so this one i've been wanting for YEARS and have never found a modder who was interested in creating it, buuut.. for some reason my "dream" mod is FUNCTIONAL BABY MONITORS! i LOVED in the sims 3 the baby monitors that you could put in the babys room and your sims room and when the baby cried the baby monitor woke up the sim. I MISS IT!
Stephanie
2025-03-23 17:10:53 +0000 UTCEvery time I play, the biggest gap I see are for kids. I would love a single mod that enhances game play for children including more aspirations, weekend jobs, more afterschool activities that gain actual skills that right now only teens/adults can have, friendship drama, first love, allowances, a lot trait that actually attracts children/restricts adult access, a functional arcade lot for kids/teens (not adjacent to a bar), better relationship dynamics (outside of the goofy jokester or "stressies" LOL), kiddie odd jobs (atleast 15 types because they get so redundant), kid specific traits that enhance or hamper skill gains. Some of these exist in multiple mods today but a singularly focused mod just for kids would be fantastic. I know it's wishful thinking though LOL

Sarah Pickstock
2025-03-23 15:10:09 +0000 UTCI also want a mod for trans men and women… I know wicked perversions has a beta mode to give the woman, a penis .. but there are no traits or real life experiences or mod for those struggling with their identity. I would like to have a cross dresser trait, trans trait, shit even a homophobia trait.. to spice it up … I also think we need better teen interactions, like slumber parties, grad parties, assembly halls , & traits that are more geared towards the teen life experience.
Meca
2025-03-23 14:55:28 +0000 UTCWe really need a mod stimulator that can tell us which creator mod causes conflicts with others outright & which creator mods are similar so that we don’t have to download everything … because even though mods like mcc & wicked whims are compatible, they have very similar features , that causes our sims interactions to always be slightly off. Better exceptions is ok, but it doesn’t directly target which mods are conflicting that are similar…

2025-03-23 13:08:07 +0000 UTCMy true dream mod is wheelchairs/walkers, but doing animations for all of that seems extremely difficult. A more realistic one I really really want atm is adding the option for piercings as a small business, it's so odd to me that tattoo shops are a thing now but not piercing when those two things are so often done in the same places!
Jude F.F.B
2025-03-23 12:36:03 +0000 UTCI have so many T_T - add horses to vet clinics (and other farm animals with home vet visits) - Hockey sport and career with animations - More university sport teams like the soccer (American football, hockey, basketball, baseball) - Not sure if this is even doable but when sim comes to your house/invites you out they will stay by your sim's side instead of just going upstairs or just abandoning you on the lot XD

2025-03-23 12:35:06 +0000 UTCIt would be nice to have sims be able to do their makeup at any mirror, not just the vanities. And for adult sims to have acne and be able to wash their face too.
