Mau’s Sims4 Stuff

How to Download and Install mods

To install mods to the Sims4 you first need to find the mod you want and download it, Once its downloaded it should be a .zip or .rar file. If so you need winrar or alzip to unzip the file.

Once the file is unzipped you need to navigate to the Sims4 folder on your PC. You can find this via ‘Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods’. In that folder there should be a folder called “mods”. If there isn’t a folder named that go ahead and create one and title it “mods” inside the Sims4 folder. Then you’ll want to move the unzipped mod files into the “mods” folder inside your Sims4 folder.

After all of that you need to open The Sims4, Once inside the game open the options, select the “Game Options” tab and then select the “Other” tab. Then make sure “Enable Custom Content and mods” is checked green. This screen will look like this:

After that is done all you need to do is restart the Sims4 and your mods should all be installed!

Maus Stardew Stuff Pt.1

Before you begin you’ll need to go to Nexus Mods, make an account and open the Stardew Valley folder.

You’ll also find you need to unzip all the mods in this tutorial upon downloading them

If you’re unsure on how to find the SV folder simply go to your steam library right click Stardew Valley > Properties > Local Files > Browse Local Files

Then the first 2 things you need to download for modding Stardew is SMAPI and Content Patcher as all mods use one or both of these things, and to run mods in general you need SMAPI.

SMAPI

Content Patcher

SMAPI should have a how to with the link to guide you through installing it should you need it, where as Content Patcher will be installed directly into your Mods folder in SV.

Once you have SMAPI and Content Patcher installed you’re ready to install mods.

This list are all mods I use or have used and mods that I’d recommend if you just want a prettier SV or to make some things easier and/or cheatsy

Helpful Mods

These get dragged directly into your mods folder upon downloading them and opening the rar./zip 

Mod Update Menu - Adds a menu to manage your downloads

NPC map locations - Will allow you to see NPC locations all the time

2nd House Upgrade Bathroom - Will allow you to replenish stamina at home

Mega Storage - Will make larger chests and magic chests

The Perks of being Married - Will add perks and events to being married (needs CP)

Gift Taste Helper - Will list NPCs favorite gifts based on what you’ve already given them

Better Ranching - Gives your farm animals indicators of when they can be petted/milked/sheared.

Automate - Will put materials into a chest should you place one next to machines

Show Item Price - Will show the sell prices of items

Extra Fish Info - Will provide more information on caught fish

Cat Gifts - Cats will leave gifts, dogs will dig up gifts

Dear Diary - Allows player to write a Diary to make notes and keep track of events

A Helpful Mod That Will Do The Work of Multiple Mods

Personally I don’t use this mod but it may seem appealing to someone else

UI Info Suite - Will do the work of Better Ranching/NPC Map Locations/NPC Heart levels/Mouse over info/Item block ranges/and other UI information without the help of other mods

A Fun Little Side Mod

This mod will technically just add a new event, again personally I don’t use this mod but someone else might find it fun.

Happy Birthday - Adds the players birthday to SV, NPCs will give gifts and new dialogue based on friendship levels

Cheatsy Mods

These get dragged directly into your mods folder upon downloading them and opening the rar./zip

Item Spawner - Will spawn anything in a max stack

Cheat Menu  - Will open the cheat menu

Time Skipper -  Will allow you to change the time to whatever you want

Instant Grow Trees - Will allow you to grow trees instantly overnight

Tractor Mod - Will add a buildable tractor that does just about everything for the farmer so you don’t have to use stamina 

Aesthetic Mods

All these mods require Content Patcher as they are generally just personal choices to have you don’t need them to help make the game easier for you they’re really just there to make everything look a little different.These get dragged directly into your mods folder upon downloading them and opening the rar./zip

Spouse Room Design - Makes spouse rooms nicer

Children Redesign - Will make the children look more like your spouse

Canon-Friendly Dialogue - will add more dialogue to all friendable characters 

Hat Mouse House Redesign - Makes a nicer Hat Mouse House

All Hats - Replaces farmer hats

Hair Pack - Adds or replaces farmer hairs

Shirt Pack - Adds or replaces farmer Shirts

More Difficult Aesthetic Mods to install

For these mods you’ll need to download the files and open the rar./zip, but before you drag the whole folder into the SV mods folder go through each one to find the specific folder you want, the specific folder will hold the skin replacement you want to place in your SV mods folder.

Ragdoll Cat - Turns the cat into a ragdoll of your picking

Dog Replacement - Will change the dog to that of your picking

Horse Replacement - Will change your horse to that of your picking

Horse Replacement - Will change your horse similar to the above but adds saddles

Critter Replacement - Will change the “background” critters

Barn Animal Replacement - Will change the barn animals to that of your picking

Coop animal Replacement - Will change the coop animals to that of your picking

Coop Animal Replacement - Almost the same as the above replacement but includes the Dinosaur

For example in these when you download one the folder will look like this

You’ll want to go through each of these folders to find the exact look you’re going for. Once you find the one you want you simply grab its folder and move it to your SV mods folder.

For example these are all my chosen skins in my SV mods folder

Once you’ve installed everything you’re going to want to load up SV via the StardewModdingAPI found in the Stardew Valley Folder. 

Going back in the other pictures that’ll look like this:

In order to run Stardew Valley with mods you always have to run SV with the StardewModdingAPI

And that’s it for modding your SV game! You’re all set up to begin playing and installing more mods you might find! So enjoy~
