They take life one day at a time and often choose what feels right in the moment, rather than what makes sense in the long run. Sims are notoriously less complicated than humans. Sim National Bank by SimRealist is an in-depth mod that endeavors to overhaul the financial system in TS4, letting sims manage bank accounts, take out loans, pay their bills individually, and so on. The way money and bills work in The Sims 4 is pretty basic for a game made for simulating human life. Sims may also become infertile, requiring them to get fertility treatments to actually get pregnant. Modder PolarBearSims came up with some tweaks to make the Woohoo experience more immersive by replacing it with Risky Woohoo, and implementing a complex fertility system affecting all sims.ĭepending on their fertility levels, location of the encounter, and some other factors, some sims will have more of a chance of becoming pregnant accidentally than others. Normally you can actively choose whether you want a sim to have safe Woohoo with a partner, or outright try for a baby and get them pregnant. Not only does it replace the absurd pregnant belly size found in vanilla for something more anatomically correct, but it removes the exaggerated pregnant walking animation as well. Not as much realism, but a whole lotta fun in there.
This mod by LittleMsSam introduces a slight chance that one morning, a pregnant Sim may wake up with cramps and abdominal pain, prompting them to go to the hospital. And they made a mod to make cheating as big a deal as it usually is in real life.Įven the kids will feel upset when their parents are in this situation! Pregnancy is a beautiful process. For this reason I always found it unrealistic that sims would just get angry at their cheating spouse for a little bit before returning to normal, at least whenever infidelity was actually discovered. Well not anymore!įor anyone interested in making their Sims experience as real as it can be, here are the some awesome mods for increased realism.
Everything is funny, absurd, and sims just take everything as lightly as possible. But The Sims contrasts substantially with human life in its cartoonish nature.
