Zombies Plants vs. Zombies 2 Plants vs. Zombies Heroes Other Plants vs. August I really want some mods in my game but when I installed some, some were zipped so is there any way I can unzip them? Me too. Message 1 of 4 Views. Reply 0. Re: How do you get mods without zip in The Sims 4? August Windows has built-in support for zip files simply double click the file to open it and extract the content. In fact, Maxis encourages and supports the modding community! The default path for your Sims 4 folder is located in your Documents folder.
The Mods folder will generate inside the Sims 4 folder once you have launched the game with mods enabled. Right-click to open it using a simple text editing program, such as Notepad. You should see something like this, but on one line:. The number of asterisks equals the number of folders deep.
There should be six by default, as shown here. That was the easy part. When the boxes are ticked green, that means the mods have been enabled. When you downloaded your game, you chose a folder to install The Sims 4 to. Navigate to it and locate the Mods folder. For the sake of this tutorial, I chose a few base game compatible mods that are linked below. Packages will sometimes come separately, but not always. Sometimes a set will be available only as a merged pack of content. Locate the downloaded files on your computer and then move the files manually to The Sims 4 Mods folder.
Keeping your folders organized can help you single out corrupted files that cause issues in your game. The screenshot above includes the file names of the downloaded content linked earlier in this post for this how-to guide.
Script mods are coding mods that can alter game behaviors, as opposed to pre-existing Maxis coding. The MC Command Center Mod has an abundance of options in the form of multiple modules that tackle different functionalities: adjusting household bills, making selected sims immortal, pregnancies, and even creating story progression-style mechanics. First, make sure the modules and packages are placed into the same folder and that the folder is no more than one level deep in The Sims 4 mod folder structure.
The Sims 4 client will only go one-level deep when looking for script mods. As a general rule, always back up your Sims 4 folder to a USB drive or external drive in case of disaster. This ensures you have an updated copy of your game Sims families and your mods should you have to reinstall the game. And that about covers it! Remember, you should always contact the owner of the mod to report bugs or if you have any questions.

There, you'll find the lot you've downloaded. If the lot also included custom content, make sure you click on the Advanced option in the Gallery and tick 'Include Custom Content' for the lot to show up. Script mods are ones which change and add-on to the scripting of the game. Installing script mods is again, pretty similar to installing the other mods listed above.
The main difference, however, is that the file type will end in. To do so, click on the Menu the three buttons on the top right corner , Game Options, Other, and then tick the Script Mods Allowed button. You'll see a warning about script mods.
Click OK, Apply Changes, then restart your game. If you've installed the CC or mod exactly as describe above, it should all work just fine. However, if it doesn't show up in your game, or doesn't work for some reason, you might need to do some troubleshooting.
Here's a list of things to check and try when you run into problems:. Give them a detailed example of what's happening in the game i. Hopefully they'll get back to you with an updated version of the content or a way to work around the error.
If not, you may just need to uninstall the file from your game. Uninstalling CC and Mods is as simple as going to your Mods folder and deleting them. Right-click on whichever file you want to get rid of, select Delete, and then the next time you start up the game, that custom content or mod will no longer be in your game.
Hopefully this will never happen to you, but there's always the risk of running into broken or corrupt custom content or mods, while modding your game. If you have issues with your game freezing, crashing, generating 'LastException' files while playing, or other major issues after downloading CC or mods, more than likely, the mod or CC you've installed is corrupted.
Go to your Sims 4 folder, right-click on the folder titled 'Saves' and then copy it. Paste your Saves folder somewhere else on your computer, like your desktop. That way you'll have a 'safe' version of your saved game in case anything goes wrong while testing. Go to your Mods folder and right-click it. Again, copy it to your Desktop. Once you're sure you have a copy of your Mods folder on your Desktop, go ahead and delete the copy in your Sims 4 folder.
Restart your game and play it for a few minutes. If you game runs without crashing or having errors, you know the issue is with one of your Mods. If it doesn't, you'll need to go out and repair your game and the issue is something within your Sims 4 game itself.
Because Script mods do the most changing in the game, they are the most likely to cause major game play errors if they're broken or out of date. If the errors are gone, you know that one of your script mods is broken and needs to be fixed or updated. Identifying the problematic mod can be as easy as deleting the last mod you've downloaded, if the problem cropped up after that.
Paste your Mods folder back into your Sims 4 folder and then sort your files by Date Modified. If so, you've found the problem mod. This is pretty simple to do. Make a new folder on your desktop and just call it 'Test Mods' or something similar.
Take half of the items you have in your Mods folder and paste them into this folder. Test your game and see if the problem persists. If not, you know the problem content is in that other batch of mods. If so, the trouble mod is still in your game, and you'll need to repeat the process again.
This can be a bit tedious and time-consuming, but sometimes, it's the easiest way to identify troublesome mods when you have a big folder worth of content.
There's several ways you can organize your Mods folder. I like to do mine by categories, as seen in the picture above. This doesn't really do anything special during the gameplay, but it allows me to easily find content in my folders, install new content, and delete or update old content.
You can organise your Mods folder in any way which makes the most sense to you! You can do it by creator, by categories like shoes, clothes, hair, etc. This still happens in The Sims 4, so the easiest way to avoid long loading times when downloading mods, is to rename any files and delete any special characters in the title.
Just right-click on the file, select rename, and then delete any special characters and spaces. Make sure you don't change the extension type it should still end in. If you have too many files to do this all manually, there's a great program called the Bulk Rename Utility which will help you rename your files easily.
Click the option that says Bulk Rename Here. The program will open up and you'll see your Mods folder there. Highlight everything in the folder, and then go to the section that says Replace 3 , just below the Mods window. In the Replace box, enter your cursor and just hit the space bar once. This will delete any spaces in the file names.
