Where is meaningless travelling going to get us? Without the intentions to go out and have fun, or be productive, then what is the point?! The social activities mod allows your sims to participate in a variety of activities than what the game already offers such as visiting friends, visiting your crush or sending your pet to a pet sitter!

Realistic
More social options for your sims
Never be bored of your game

8. “Can I Come Over?”

Does your sim feel too bad coming over to their friend’s house without asking? It sure is annoying when Vlad comes over and uses my laptop for no reason, or when someone they met yesterday wants to chill at my house for 5 hours. But with this mod, your sim has the option to phone the friend they’re currently missing, or ask for their permission to hang out.

Why this makes your game better:

Realistic
Promotes chivalry
Emphasizes common sense

A luxury all students crave. Perhaps parents do too? But occasional breaks are common in real life for humans, and to promote realism in your game, this mod will allow you to customize a calendar and have your child sims take the day off of school for necessary measures.

8. Call a Babysitter

Newborns are cute… until they aren’t. Though it’s obvious that parents really do love their children, parents as well love their patience and self-worth. And to keep their sanity cap on, calling up a babysitter for their crying newborn seems to do just the trick.

Why this makes your game better:

Happy and healthy parents
Realistic
A good balance of family and mental health

5. Chores

There’s no better way of teaching responsibility to your sims with chores! No one wants to see the aftermath of your toddler’s imaginary fight with a dragon, so getting rid of that while introducing the world of responsibility to a sim of your choice, is an ideal way of bringing your family together.

Why this makes your game better:

Realistic
Close-knit family
Teach sims what it’s like to be responsible

4. Bank

This mod introduces a realistic financial system that you can enforce in your gameplay. With the banking system to be as popular and necessary thanks to Alexander Hamilton, to increase the realism in your game, as well as introduce a great way to manage your sims’ finances, the bank mod hits the jackpot. Yes, pun intended.

Why this makes your game better:

Realistic
Better management of your sims’ expenses
Keep track of your sims’ finances

3. Set Family Relationships

See how the mod works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oIMDa9yjwM

We’ve got too many Game of Thrones cases in our Sims 4. Because of the unfortunate circumstance where sims aren’t able to recognize their distant cousin or great uncle, we get situations that are way too Daenerys Targaryen x Jon Snow for me. With this mod, you can set your sims’ relationships to where they’ll be able to distinguish between their distant blood relative or just a safe hot stranger.

Why this makes your game better:

Safer
No more weird incest situations
Realistic (Yes, Alabama people, it is realistic)

There’s nothing like spending the holidays with your relatives, especially when you know you’ll have a taste of your grandmother’s signature soup! With this mod, your sims will get the chance that we all crave and miss deep within our cold souls-- eating their grandma’s comfort soup.

Why this makes your game better:

What’s better than happy sims?
Bigger appreciation for our favorite sims’ grandmas.
Bring your sims’ family closer with this simple gesture

1. “Spend the Weekend With…”

Does your sim have a special household they’d love to spend the weekend with? Whether it’s they’re grandparents, friends, or other parents, this opportunity is too realistic and too good to miss. Every weekend at their own house sounds like a bore to be honest. Expand your sim’s social life and help them grow closer to their favorite people!
