Despite enjoying great popularity and still getting new content packs, The Sims 4 has been out for almost six years now.

And the graphics have begun to show their age despite the game’s cartoonish style slowing the process(and everyone waiting for Sims 5 details).

Luckily, Sims lovers in the fandom have always been a fertile breeding ground for passionate modders. They stay hard at work improving the game’s functionality, and more importantly, its looks.

This is generally achieved with a combination of tweaked graphic effects and updated textures in the form of custom content, either hyper-realistic or following the game’s original clay-like art style.

The sheer amount of variety can make modding appear to be a daunting task, so I’ve put together this list ranking all the best graphic-enhancing mods that can make your game more aesthetically pleasing.

Check Out This Mod. Since Maxis has introduced vampires, spellcasters, and mermaids into the game, modder Lumpinou felt that human sims ended up drawing the short straw. He aims to balance things out a bit with his mod Psychic Sims!, which basically allows you to make your sims psychics. This mod allows your sims to specialize in dead bodies- a natural occurrence in the Realm of Magic given the spell duels and witch spars. And trust me, it will get you addicted. Why this makes your game better.

But I’ve also dropped in a few options for the hardcore mod-enthusiasts out there too. Enjoy!

12. ReShade

ReShade isn’t exactly a mod, but a graphics injector that works on many games.

It lets you tweak several effects like chromatic aberration, lighting, and a whole other slew of visual options.

While playing around with the program’s settings will eventually give you the perfect look for you, this can be a very time consuming trial-and-error process.

So most people prefer downloading presets uploaded by other users.

This is hardly the least important tool on this list, but it’s necessary to understand before we take a look at some of the best presets available online.

11. Pixelore’s Drama ReShade

One of the most well-known presets used by Sims 4 players is Pixelore’s Drama ReShade, which lends your game a very cinematic feel reminiscent of something released in the mid-2000s.

Light sources look much brighter, as if your game was being shot from an actual camera.

This same effect also highlights your Sims’ facial features thanks to the light being reflected off their skin.

This preset is ideal for storytelling screenshots too. And it comes in both day and night versions for an easier setup.

10. Honeybodies Nostalgia ReShade

Another very popular ReShade preset is this melancholic, nostalgia-inducing one by creator Honeybodies.

It gives your game the look of old pictures, the kind you took with a disposable Kodak camera back in the ‘90s and have lost some color over time.

Your Sim probably has a picture that looks like this stored somewhere deep within a drawer in their bedroom.

It’s ideal for storytelling screenshots and just making your game look very, very dramatic. The sepia filter is optional.

9. Money and Milk ReShade

Sims 4 Religion Mod

If rather than nostalgia you’d rather add a warm, homely feeling to your game, then the Money and Milk ReShade by Midpoosimmer is your best bet.

This makes heavy use of focus effects, blurring far-away backgrounds, and giving your game a decidedly photographic look.

Which is amazing for photoshoots depicting your Sims having wholesome fun with family and friends. Or something more depraved, up to you.

If your Sims could post this to social media, it’s safe to say they’d get a lot of likes.

8. Clear Bloom ReShade

The most versatile preset I could find that’s fit for gameplay rather than screenshots is Clear Bloom by creator Amoebae.

This ReShade will make your game look bright and colorful in a way the vanilla game just can’t achieve.

It’s also relatively discreet, so it’s perfect if you just want to give your game a slight facelift.

It’s also one of the easier presets to understand & edit, if you don’t mind opening ReShade from time to time so you can tweak it.

This will let you have a custom look to suit your tastes without having to dive so deep into the program.

7. Stealthic’s Hair Mods

Among a Sim’s customizable characteristics, their hair is one of the most influential in their overall look.

We’ve covered a huge list of hair mods for Sims 4, but this one definitely deserves a mention as a graphics enhancer too.

Proficient creator Stealthic offers a wide array of extra hair swatches to use in CAS with a much more stylish and realistic look than vanilla.

Sims 4 Psychic Sims Mod

It’s what’s known by the community as an “alpha” CC.

While originally made to go with hyper-detailed skin and eye textures, they look just fine when coupled with the base game’s cartoonish look.

These elaborate hairstyles are ideal for Sims with a very active social media presence, vampires with a penchant for the dramatic, and just Sims who use a lot of hair conditioner.

6. Hair Physics Simulation

And if you’re getting better hair for your CAS, you can’t miss the chance to also give it some mobility.

This mod by creator GuiMerman_Z tweaks a Sim’s rig, the “skeleton” that controls their movements and joints.

By doing so, most hair types will sway as they walk, run, or dance. Immersive!

Luckily, most CC hairstyles are built on top of vanilla rigs by default. So they’ll all be equally enhanced by these newly introduces hair physics.

5. Encore Eyes

According to William Shakespeare, the eyes are the windows of the soul.

Which makes them key in establishing a Sim’s look and personality. I mean, if they weren’t weird digital creatures living in your computer.

Encore Eyes by Kelly-Hannah is one of the most versatile eye-enhancing mods available for Sims 4, because it lets you replace all of the vanilla eyes for this bright and detailed version.

It feels much nicer than just adding them as extra swatches to your CAS – which you can also do. But go with Encore Eyes for the full effect.

4. Kijiko’s 3D Lashes

And if you’re making eyes look so much better, it would be too jarring not to also replace the default cartoony eyelashes for something a bit more sophisticated too.

Kijiko’s 3D eyelashes are the most popular and widely recommended CC to give your Sims some gorgeous eyelashes, which look great on both alpha-looking Sims and more vanilla-friendly ones.

There’s even a version made specifically for kids!

3. PralineSims’ Eyebrows and Make-Up

Once you’ve seen what some small changes can do towards making your Sims beautiful, you won’t be able to stop yourself from completing the transformation.

Famous creator PralineSims has tons of CC to make your Sims look better. Including much-needed HD eyebrows and make-up that’ll give them a more lifelike appearance.

Whether you want matte or glossy lipstick, glitter in your eye-shadow, or just picture-perfect influencer eyebrows – it’s all there!

2. Luumia’s Vanilla Skin

There’s a truly immense variety of skin-replacement mods available for The Sims 4.

You’ll find stuff ranging from very mild enhancements to hyper-detailed alpha CC.

Luumia’s Vanilla Skin belongs somewhere inbetween, enhancing the overall texture quality and detail of your Sims’ epidermis while maintaining the original game’s somewhat clay-like look so they don’t appear out-of-place in the game.

This also lets you experiment more with different kinds of CC, as both alpha and more traditional additions to your CAS will both work pretty well with this skin tone.

1. HQ Mod

If you truly want to take your Sims world to the limit, you’ll want to get the HQ Mod.

This lets the game load 4K textures among quite a few other graphical things.

It’s generally only used for screenshots, as it not only requires you to replace every single texture for HQ-compatible versions, but can only be run by truly powerful gaming rigs.

I mean 4K is no joke.

That said, if you’ve got an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti hooked up to your computer then it’s worth pouring in time to get all the textures and effects you need.

Nothing is stopping you from turning your Sims 4 playthrough into a truly sublime piece of eye-candy.

Working for The Sims 4 v1.72 / Bunk Bed Patch

Update 7/15/20

Added Spanish translations from plumbello

This mod adds a set of new spells that even the Sages fear! These spells allow Spellcasters to spread pain and misery for their own benefit or just their amusement.

These spells all belong to the Untamed school of magic. Spellcasters need to be rank 4 (Master) in order to learn them, but not all of the regular methods will work. The Sages have tried to keep these spells a secret and won’t teach them to your Sims, nor will your Sims be able to discover these through normal practice. Some collectors may still have the old tomes and could be willing to part with them for a high price. Inflicting pain on others by winning a duel may allow your Sim to discover these dark spells.

This mod requires the Spell Injector mod by r3m in order to show up in game.

Spells and Outcomes

Note: For all spells listed here, Sims with the Good trait will get a +5 Sad moodlet for 7 hours upon successfully casting it.

Ennervate

Siphon the vitality of another Sim to restore your own energy.

Note: This spell generates more charge than normal! (80 points instead of the standard 40)

Standard Success

• The target Sim loses 150 points of Energy and becomes Dazed, while your Sim gains 75 points of Energy and becomes Energized.

Charged Success

• Same as above but your Sim gains 150 points of Energy instead.

Failure

• Your Sim loses 150 points of Energy and becomes Dazed.

Melliferate

(requires Seasons)

Summon a swarm of angry bees to attack another Sim.

Charged Success

• In addition to the above, your Sim will also receive honey in their inventory.

Failure

• Your Sim will be attacked by bees instead.

Miasma

(requires Get to Work)

Inflict sickness and malady on another Sim.

Standard Success

• The target Sim becomes Uncomfortable for 30 minutes before developing a sickness.

Charged Success

• Same as above, but the sickness is guaranteed to be more severe and they have a 50% chance of developing Triple Threat, a particularly nasty illness.

Failure

• Your Sim becomes sick instead.

Grim Bargain

Draw on your own life-force to replenish their needs, but at what cost?

Note: This spell generates more charge than normal! (80 points instead of the standard 40)

Note: While Teens are able to learn this spell for later, only Young Adults and older are able to cast it.

Standard Success

• All of your Sim’s needs are instantly filled, but there will be consequences.

Charged Success

• Same results as standard.

Failure

• All of your Sim’s needs are lowered to -30.

Funny Sims Mods

Addon - Brute Force Duel Options

This is not a spell but an addon that will help your Sims learn the spells in this mod. If a Sim knows every spell from the unmodded game, they will ordinarily be locked out of 'Duels for Knowledge' with other Sims. Since dueling is one of the more reliable ways of learning these spells, that can be pretty inconvenient. This addon makes it so your Sims can still duel at least until they learn all the Forbidden Spells.
Note: this does not apply to all custom spells from other mods

Do you think you could either make a custom romance spell? or alter infatuate so that a: the castor can make the target fall in love with them? or idk have it have longer lasting effects? id like to be able to have my bad boy spellcastor be able to force people to fall in love with him. but it only lets you make 2 other random sims fall in love...

I'm currently not making any more custom spells, as the spellbook injector has been getting more unstable over time and the original creator is not around. Especially for Mac computers, some players are not able to use more than 4 spells and some players can't even use 1.

@kuttoe is it any way to get rid of the grim bargain spell from you're sim? if not can you make one, if a sim doesn't use the Untamed magic for a couple of days or magic at all it should slowly go away

Do you mean unlearn the spell or get rid of the effects? There's no way to unlearn the spell other than remove the mod. The effects of the spell up to level 4 will completely go away after about a day per level if you stop casting Grim Bargain. If you reach level 5, the effects are permanent, and will not go away unless you use cheats to remove the trait or uninstall the mod.

@kuttoe you should create a locator spell for witches... To perform dispel which needs to get the blood of another Sim no matter occult They’re from and to find the spell that way if the spell is done correctly it locates all family members in that family tree

Unfortunately, there is a group of players, particularly people using Macs, who get very strange bugs and errors when using the Spellbook Injector. It typically happens with people who have more than 3 spells installed. As r3m, the creator of the injector, has not been around for a while in order to update the script, I do not want to exacerbate the problem by creating any new spells at this time.

Hello Kuttoe! I translated this mod to Russian. Can i send you it on Discord?

Added them to the mod now! Thanks for your patience, and thanks for sending it to me! :)

Will you be adding a new dark spells anytime soon?

Hello Kutto, I offer you my FR translation for the mod 'Incognito Spell'. It's very difficult to connect on MTS and to contact you :-(

Hello, and thank you for the translation! I will get to work adding this to the mod.

I'm not sure why MTS is giving you problems. I have my inbox open there. If it continues to be an issue, contacting me here is fine and there's always Discord, too.

Hey Kuttoe, i translated this amazing mod to Portuguese (Brazil). I want send to you. How i do it? i don't find your email...

Hello Mike, thank you for your kind words and the translation! You can send me the file directly on Discord if you have an account, or upload it to a sharing service and post the link here or DM me on ModTheSims.

okay, this the link https://www.mediafire.com/file/zdy8q583krvf8u1/%5BKuttoe%5D_ForbiddenSpells_-_Po...

I just recently bought all the expansions; game packs and stuff packs. Haven't had played; since the sims 4 base game came out. It is mods like this that helped encourage me to play again. Excellent works on the forbidden spells. These forbidden spells; really work well for my two evil spellcasters. Just wondering; you have any further plans in store for this amazingly epic mod? If not; just wondering. Regardless; I am extremely thankful for what you have bestowed upon us. Thank you sir/or madam

Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you are enjoying the mod! I am currently working on other spells and mods in between playing University, but nothing is currently planned for this particular mod pack. If I get any more spell ideas which are thematically appropriate for it, I will surely add them here.

You are very welcome and thank you yet again. Ooo new spells and mods eh? Spells are always welcome. I can't wait to see what you have planned out for this. I will be keeping my eyes peeled. Can not wait.

When I put these spells into my game, it deletes the duplicato spell from the pie menu somehow.

Thank you very much for the report! That was a pretty serious bug. It should now be fixed in the new version I just uploaded.
