The Sims 4 Mods for Realism: Phone UI, Harry Potter Books & More
Mods can completely transform The Sims 4 beyond recognition: they add realism to everyday life, expand gameplay opportunities, and fix minor yet annoying flaws. In our curated selection of the best Sims 4 mods, you’ll find creations by Simkatu, SimMattically, SonozakiSisters, and other talented modders: from child and toddler hair care and laundry notifications to business hours scheduling and customizable Sims 4 phone UI.
Customizable Phone UI by SimMattically
Finally, you can customize your phone screen to your liking – rearrange apps in a convenient order and hide unnecessary ones. The interface fits 16 icons per page (4 per row). The principle works like in smartphones: hold any icon until they start wiggling, then drag apps within the page or move them to adjacent ones by sliding them to the screen edges.
Everything shower mod by kikovanity
Sims will shower more realistically: with actual bath accessories, rather than just running their hands over their body like in the vanilla game. The functionality remains the same: the character goes to the shower, gains hygiene, and comes out, but now with custom animations, accessories, and themed buffs. The creator promises to add more loofah variations in the future.
17 functional books for children by simtosas
Seventeen functional books for sims inspired by the creator's beloved childhood works. The collection includes all parts of "Harry Potter," the "Percy Jackson" series, "The Chronicles of Narnia," "Alice in Wonderland," and other iconic books. They don't replace standard in-game editions but complement the library with new options. You can install them all at once or choose only the ones you need; the files work independently of each other.
Child & toddler hair care by Simkatu
Now adult characters can brush children's and toddlers' hair, as well as give them a new hairstyle chosen from in-game options. Two simple interactions add more family care to everyday life.
Schedule Small Business Working Hours by SonozakiSisters
Finally, you can set working hours for your small business, and it will open and close on its own. What's especially nice is that the schedule works for NPC business too: you'll no longer see cafes operating 24/7 without days off. All settings are accessible through the cash register or the sign at the entrance: set working hours, view the current schedule, or reset settings for a specific business or all at once.
Have Some Flowers by Hiole's Corner
Now indoor plants will become a full-fledged part of everyday life: lavender, daisies, tulips, and basil will require actual care and will wilt without regular watering every couple of days. Basil can be picked for cooking, and essential oils can be extracted from lavender (if you have the soap-making mod by the same creator). No decorative props, only living plants with realistic needs.
Laundry Done Notifier by toastie-sim
In real life, the washing machine beeps when it finishes working, so why not give sims the same feature? Now they'll receive a notification as soon as their clothes are done washing or drying. Messages come directly from the appliance and have several text variations.
