More Storable Kitchen Appliances by @littlemssam
This mod solves the age-old problem of kitchen clutter: now you can stash small appliances in your sim’s inventory or right inside the kitchen cabinets! Coffee makers, ice cream machines, waffle irons, microwaves – they can all be tidied away. Each kitchen cabinet now has its own dedicated storage, so you can finally keep everything in perfect order.

Forget the boring “secrets” from the base game about Pancakes and puddles – this mod adds truly dark, absurd, and downright hilarious secrets for all ages! 30 new secrets for teens, 30 scandalous ones for celebrities, plus a completely overhauled blackmail system with the ability to leak gossip to the press. Now you can spark full-blown tabloid scandals, make money off other people’s secrets, and watch reputations crumble. Perfect for drama and intrigue lovers!
Tulle "Let there be light" by @somestoriespingvina
Delicate, airy tulle that softly diffuses sunlight and fills a room with a cozy, calming vibe. This elegant detail is an easy way to give even the simplest interior a makeover – perfect for romantic bedrooms or bright living rooms. Just hang it in your window and enjoy the homey atmosphere!
Introduce Sim to Group by @frequentlybasic
A super useful mod for social situations – your sim can introduce a new friend to their whole group in one go! You need to have at least 40 friendship points, and if the newcomer isn’t too shy, a menu pops up to pick acquaintances nearby. There’s even a cheaty option for a mass introduction via Shift+click: super convenient for parties and big get-togethers!
Shush mod by @sashasspace
Now your sims can "shush" each other with a new mean interaction in the Mischief menu – it’s really realistic and pretty funny! The mod comes with more than 50 different moodlets for all ages, from kids to elders. It’s a great add-on for family drama and for creating lively, conflict-filled situations.
A simple but nice mod for High School Years owners: after shaving, a sim will likely get a confidence moodlet. It’s a cute little detail for daily routines that makes hygiene a bit more interesting. Just a small thing, but it brightens the mood!
Junior Jams – children activities and interactions by LuSimLaStars
Finally, kids in The Sims 4 get a fuller and more exciting life: they can go to the amusement park, jump on a trampoline, root for VR teams, and even stuff themselves with ice cream and sweets! All activities can be found on the phone in the “Travel” section and give the appropriate emotions. Plus, “Kids Talks” adds children’s conversations – now little ones really chat like kids!
