TS4 / CC links
This is the stuff I currently use in my game. (Working on updating this as of September 2022. The last couple of patches have been a bit of a nightmare.)
v important mods >
MC Command Center - I probably don't need to tell you about this one, but a guide might be helpful.
Show Sim Info - Honestly a must-have for me. I'm nosy. Originally by Itasan, now maintained by Frankk after it broke recently. (thank youuuuu)
Bienchen's Mods - So very many that greatly improve my quality of sim-life. Sorted by DLC/theme, always kept up to date. Some favorites (typing the mod name in the search box will bring you to them):
- lot traits - sunny aspect tweak- lots with this trait will have sunny weather for at least 24 hours upon loading. also includes a fix for the city festivals - no more rain!
- cat and dog sanity- a bunch of fixes for cats & dogs, like less sickness
- storm moodlet tweak- fixes the way sims react to thunderstorms. no longer will EVERY ONE of your sims be running around in terror for the entire spring season.
- many autonomy mods
LittleMsSam - Many amazing gameplay mods and bug fixes, also constantly updated. Some favorites:
general mods >
Roburky's Meaningful Stories - A much-needed rework of TS4's emotions system.
Scumbumbo's mods - Firstly: Don't Wash Dishes Where You Angry Poop (still necessary no matter what EA's patch notes say). Also the XML Injector (which is needed for a lot of great mods), Packing Crates (sadly currently broken), Working Medicine Cabinets, and other random good stuff.
Lumpinou's First Impressions- Sims will gain a sentiment of their "first impression" of each other upon meeting. Sraits and personalities will actually affect how sims will get along as friends, or romantically.
gameplay >
clubs >
Rex's Place - Custom Club Activities - tons of them sorted by expansion pack. Super helpful.
Icemunmun - More Club Activities!
Simvasion's Autonomous Knitting Fix - Fixes autonomous knitting during club gatherings. I love knitting.
MagneticSouth's Better Clubs Mod. Raises the wealth tiers and skill requirements.

SweetLilja's Retail Shoppers Keep Their Bought Stuff - I was so disappointed to find that in TS4 the stuff you sold to another sim just ceased to exist, so I love this.

SrslySims's Spinning Wheel PC - Yeah, I also love spinning.
Silverhammer's Off-the-Grid Lights

I've cut down on the number of custom traits I use, as they seem to break easily with patches.
