Frequently Asked Questions

I would like to try the mod, how can I get it?

Currently the mod is in early access test phase, you can download it from this website or ModTheSims.

How can I play with my friends using this mod?

Each player needs a computer with the same version of the game installed on the same local network. One PC will act as the server (using the server application), the other players will connect to that machine in the game. You can follow this video to get started. (Special thanks to Chewychunga!)

What version of The Sims 4 do I need in order to play the game?

The latest patched version of The Sims 4 recommended. The most important thing is to have the same version of the game on all the players’ computers. There is one thing to note now regarding to the mod version:

S4MP versions 0.2.1 and later only work with The Sims 4 v1.54.120.1020 or later patches

and later only work with or later patches S4MP version 0.2.0 only works with The Sims 4 versions BEFORE v1.54.120.1020 (08/2019) patch

Can I play with the mod on Mac as well?

Sure!

How many players can play together with the mod?

Right now the mod is limited to 12 players but it is likely to be raised in the near future.

Sim inventory is not working properly

Can I play the mod online using Hamachi? (as a workaround until the online version release)

Absolutely! Make sure to use your Hamachi IP instead of the local IP in this case when connecting. (The server console most probably won’t display your Hamachi IP address!)

The mod does not load for me for some reason! What should I do?

Make sure you have placed the mod to the right folder (My DocumentsElectronic ArtsThe Sims 4mods) and that you have the Script Mods Enabled checked in the game settings.

Of course! You can use this amazing tool by James Turner to turn off expansion packs: https://jamesturner.yt/disablepacks
