Sims 4 Mod Manager: How To Install & Use (Download) 2024

Have you faced this problem where all your mods and custom content are in the folder in a haphazard manner? I’m certain most of you have, so this Sims 4 mod manager is what would help you organize it in a better way.

For simmers like me who download hundreds of mods are in desperate need of this mod and cc manager. They even provide a thumbnail interface with each download, which is a plus point. 

Sims 4 Mod Manager

This program by GameTimeDev is a blessing in disguise as it allows you to add or delete files, move them somewhere else, browse them, and disable or enable them on your own. You can even view the files parallel to the thumbnails so that you can differentiate them between build/buy and CAS content. You can even filter the results for specific areas, for instance, hair, makeup, etc. 

This mod manager Sims 4 is constantly being updated because there are several modifications that would keep coming up as the game also progresses. 

How to Use the TS4 Mod Manager?

So to use this mod manager, you should move the mods and custom content into different folders to make it easier for you to find them. You’ll also come across a load/unload feature, which would inform whether a mod would be included in the game file or not.

If you don’t want a mod or cc to be a part of the game anymore, then you can unload it, but rest assured that it won’t be deleted from your folder. So you can use it again whenever you want. 

Remember how you had to uninstall all the mods and cc files and add them again to find the broken file, but now things have become easier. There’s a “problems” tab on the left side, which would identify the mod files that are outdated or corrupted through this mod and custom content manager. 

How to Download the Mod Manager?

Here’s how you can download this tool and follow the steps given below to run it efficiently.
