must have mods for realistic gameplay
cas ..
100+ traits (honestly the best and most varied amount of traits you will find. It’s basically an unlocked version of all traits and really changes your game and makes your sims feel unique)
No Regrets Aspiration (an aspiration that focuses around your sims living life to the fullest)
8 New Traits for Children (these 8 traits are really fleshed out and effect the way your child sims behave)
careers ..
Pharmacist
Drag
Animator
Graphic Designer
S3-S4 Part Time Jobs
S3-S4 Ghost Hunter
S3-S4 Daycare
Interactive Daycare (This allows you to have a daycare style career that is reminiscent of the sims 3 - it is an active career disguised as a social event)
S3-S4 Lifeguard
S3-S4 Military
S3-S4 Firefighter
S2-S4 Slacker Career
Psychologist Career
Zookeeper
Librarian
Airline Employee
Real Estate
(All of these careers are very fleshed out and work the same as jobs that are already in the game i.e. they have 10 levels and you need to gain skills and do tasks to be promoted. The Sims 3 conversions especially are my favourite)
gameplay ..
Simda Dating App (your sims can go on a date with a specific person, or a blind date with either a male/female. The date is a social event and takes place on real lots. You can also enable booty calls!)
Sit Down Please (a very necessary mod that forces your sims to sit down more often, this is useful especially at weddings)
Pregnancy + Proposal for Teens (Allows your teenage sims to get married and become pregnant)
Au Pair (similar to a butler but the Au Pair is hired to take care of your children, rather than to serve your adult sim)
Foster Family (this one is so cute! it allows you do foster a child or pet. You get paid for fostering them, and you can even adopt them. If they get adopted by another family, you can ring that family and check up on them!)
Do Homework at Desk (Sims will be more inclined to do their homework at a desk. Especially useful if you spend time making sure a kids room has a desk and then they never flippin use it)
Train Puppies (Allows you to train your puppies. There may be some issues with animation as the animations were meant for adult dogs)
Balanced death (Now your sims actually act appropriately do deaths. If they are an acquaintance, they won’t feel much. An enemy, they’ll feel happy. A family member, they’ll feel distraught, and it will last for AGES)
True Happiness (Changes the default mood setting to fine, not happy. Sims’ mood will change to happy when something genuinely good happens to them, rather than feeling happy because there’s a painting on the wall).
