How to Download Mods on Torrented Sims 4: A Step-by-Step Guide For all those who enjoy playing The Sims 4 but want a bit more excitement, downloading mods is an excellent option. However, if you've acquired the game through torrenting instead of purchasing it from EA's official store, things might get slightly trickier due to some additional steps required before installing and enabling these wonderful additions.

In this article, we'll walk you through how to download and install Sims 4 mods even when your copy was obtained via torrent sites. So without further ado let's dive right into it!

Step 1: Ensure You Have The Correct Version Of Sims 4

Before proceeding any further make sure that you have the correct version of The Sims 4 installed on your computer. This is crucial because different versions may require specific mods or might even cause compatibility issues if not matched properly.

To check which version of the game you're running, follow these simple steps:

1. Launch The Sims 4 from your Start Menu (Windows) or Applications folder (Mac).

2. Once in-game press ESC to open up the Pause menu.

3. In this new window click on 'Help' at the top left corner.

Here, look for a dropdown list labeled 'About This Game' towards the bottom right-hand side; select it by clicking anywhere within its text area using your mouse pointer or trackpad gesture depending upon what operating system you're currently running Sims 4 under.

Once inside this small window scroll down until you see either 'Version' (for older versions) or just simply 'Build Number.' Write these two pieces of information somewhere safe as they'll come handy later during our modding process!

Step 2: Download The Required Mods

Now that we've established which version(s) are compatible with your copy let's move onto actually obtaining the desired mods. There are several websites available online offering free downloads for various versions; some popular ones include:

- ModSims (www.modsimsworld.com)

- Sims Resource (www.simsresource.com)

To download a mod from one of these sites follow these general steps:

1. Open up your preferred web browser and navigate to either Modsims or SimsrResource depending on which platform you prefer.

2. Search for the specific mod(s) you're looking for within their respective search bars; make sure to enter exact names since misspellings can lead nowhere fast!

3. Once results appear click through each result until finding one that matches your criteria exactly then hit download.

Step 3: Extract And Install The Downloaded Mod

After downloading the desired mod(s), extract them into a new folder within your Sims 4 'Mods' directory (usually located at C:\Users\\Documents\Epic Games\Sims 4 Mods for Windows or ~username/Documents/Epicsims/Mods on Mac).

To do this:

1. Right-click (or control + click) on the downloaded .zip/.rar file(s).

2. From here select 'Extract Here' to extract its contents into a new folder with an identical name as what was originally compressed under.

Step 4: Enable Custom Content And Mods In The Sims 4 Options

Now that we've successfully extracted our mod files, let's enable them within the game itself!

To do this:

1. Launch The Sims 4 from your Start Menu (Windows) or Applications folder (Mac).

2. Press ESC to open up the Pause menu.

3. Click on 'Options' at the top left corner.

In here look for a dropdown list labeled 'Other' towards the bottom right-hand side; select it by clicking anywhere within its text area using your mouse pointer or trackpad gesture depending upon what operating system you're currently running Sims 4 under.

Once inside this new window scroll down until you see two checkboxes: 'Enable Custom Content' and 'Enable Mods'. Make sure both of these boxes are checked (they should be green if so).

And voilà! You've successfully enabled custom content and mods within The Sims 4 using the above steps. Now go forth and customize your gaming experience as much or little as you please!

Remember to always only download trusted sources for any game files, including mods, to avoid potential security risks such as viruses or malware infections. Happy modding!
