Tragedy is a part of life, and now, thanks to this real life mod, even Sims won't be sp[ared of misery! This real life tragedies mod adds a dose of darkness and complicates lives, exposing Sims to traumatic events. Our characters can now lose a family member to a fatal illness or car accident.

As if this wasn't enough, Sim can be a victim of kidnappers, armed robbers, and vile serial killers.

This real life mod will change how your Sims build muscle and gain or lose fat forever. Fitness Controls mod gives additional options that let you alternate bodies and make your Sims 4 folks bulkier and chubbier than ever. Lean Sims can look leaner, and chubby ones can look even bigger. There is more variety in body shapes and weight. Every Sim can have a fast metabolism or slow metabolism trait that will affect how fast or slow their bodies transform. Nobody gains muscle overnight, so you can make fitness progress more gradual and realistic. Transforming bodies will take time, and your Sims won't become big around the waist after just one binge. You can even prevent body changes of the Sims you don't currently play, and give teens the same metabolism the adult Sims have.

In real life, pregnancy doesn't always go smoothly, and to-be moms can experience some physical discomfort or even have a miscarriage. With this real life mod, carrying a baby becomes more complicated, and more realistic. Abortion becomes a viable option for every mum who doesn't want or can't have the baby. Since this is a realistic life and pregnancy mod, pregnant Sims can now get painful cramps, in which case they must be rushed to the hospital and they can even lose the baby. Miscarriage is unpredictable and can happen at any time, in the first, second, and third trimesters.

Except for occasional brawls and a few mischievous punches in anger, Sims don't get too violent. However, with this real life mod, brutality, and aggression can become an everyday occurrence for every Sim. Extreme violence brings more than 40 ways to not only attack but kill another Sim using weapons or bare hands. Aggressive Sims can be notoriously feared, join infamous gangs, or become occult slayers who go after occult beings. Like in real gangs, things can get pretty rough, and your Sim can hold a gun to someone's head and ask for Simoleons. Just make sure you do commit a crime when there are witnesses around, as your gangster will get caught by the police! As a legit real life mod, it adds animalistic murders to the game. You can enable mass shootings and everyone who is unfortunate enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time will lose their life in gunfire. To make things even more brutal, you can perform a murder session and make killings a holiday tradition. Everyone in the world you are playing will start killing each other! Your killer can rip a Sim's heart out and keep it in their inventory, or even sell it! Sims can even perform these cruelties autonomously if you want them too! Creepy, right?

Make your special days even more memorable, with this incredible real life mod. Passionate Romance adds new romantic gestures that will help your lovebird express affection more genuinely. You can save precious memories and take a bunch of different wedding and engagement photos thanks to improved camera settings and fresh poses. Singles can even find their true love using a special Winged Heart Camera! Plus, soulmates can take cool romantic selfies in hot air balloons and cars, which is quite idyllic.

Cooking is now more realistic than ever! This real life mod adds real products you can use for cooking or snacking. Sims can make food using different sorts of cheese, or, they can take a sip of warm milk, coffee, or tea. Because sometimes you just need a glass of milk for the recipe, and not the whole bottle, to make things simpler. Sims can also section food into smaller portions to use some and save some for later. Every food has an expiration date, so make sure you use it before it gets spoiled!The mod adds a food delivery option, and if you want to, you can even build your grocery shop!

Realism is found in little details. Organic Hair is a real life mod that makes haircuts and hair growth process more genuine. This is possible thanks to the cool hair progression, bad haircuts, and at-home hairstyling features. Sims can now officially grow hair and go from short to mid-length, and then from midi to long hairstyles over time. We've all gotten a haircut at home at least once in a lifetime, and our characters can now experience the same. You can blacklist the hairstyles you dislike, so you won't ever have to look at them in the game again, and can dye your Sim's hair as they do it at the salon! You will even see piles of hair on the floor occasionally, as with the Organic Hair mod, shedding will become a part of the game, too.

Have you ever wished for more realistic healthcare in Sims 4? If you have, this real life mod will tick all your boxes! The Healthcare Redux mod brings preventive care, primary health care, medical emergencies, the immune system, and a bunch of new health issues and interactions. There is a whole range of diseases available, from deadly diseases like Mlaria, chronic conditions such as eczema or diabetes, to infectious viral to bacterial illnesses. Sometimes, Sims may require a surgical intervention. Sims can even have anxiety or get a heart attack, in which case you must rush them to the hospital! It won't be wise to get a pet if one of your Sims has pet dander allergies. Once diagnosed, they will be required to take vitamins and medications to get well, be that iron supplements, or cough medications. Insurance, hospital visits, and medical services are incredibly real too, so your Sims will truly experience what it feels like to be unwell.

Let's make teenagers more real, shall we? This important developmental stage is now crowned with a special pre-teen trait. With Preteen real life mod, just like in real puberty, Sims will experience voice cracks, go through changes, learn to care for themselves, and level up the hygiene routine. Schooling will be altered, too. Depending on which of the two mod versions you pick, young Sism can either get immediately enrolled in Middle School or attend junior high school.

All Sims always speak Simlish. Well, with this mod, that won't be the case anymore, as it introduces six new languages: Komorebigo, Selvadoradian, Sixami, Tartosiano, Toki Sulani, and Windenburgish. Together with Similish, they can either be native languages or you can make Sims learn them, just like any other skill. This real life mod will give every Sim a chance to nail a new language using a Simlingo app, talking to foreigners, or studying from a textbook. Every social interaction will depend on whether or not Sims speak the same language, so don't expect to have all communication options unlocked with one Sim speaking Toki Sulani, and another only Sixami. Miscommunication, especially when you don't know the language is tough. So, don't be surprised if a Sim unintentionally says something rude due to the language barrier! If parents happen to come from different cultures and speak a different language, their kids can be multilingual. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

This mod lets Sims conveniently join the LMS Foster Family Network in case they are interested in adopting children or pets. In the phone menu, simply go to the Foster Family category to look for the network.

Forget about the public schools of Sims, that's for the middle class! The biggest highlight of this real life mod is the process of enrollment. Rich families of Sims can now enroll their youngsters in a prestigious private school. It costs $500 just to have the headmaster come over! And when they come, you'll have to impress him. Make a delicious meal, and ensure your house is spotless and your manners polished! If you do everything right, and present your family in the best light, your kids will get a chance to enroll in Simston private school for $1000.

Mods in The Sims 4 are really amazing as they let us participate in authentic life experiences, through the eyes of our Sims. With this Family Therapy mod by Adeepindigo, your Sims can go through therapy and support group sessions for different issues, such as addiction, grief, mental health, behavior, and familial issues.

What is more real than heartbreak? Rejection hurts, and Sims can now experience it too by getting friendzoned. Thanks to this real life mod by Vicky Sims, friendzone is a legit relationship, as valid as any other! If someone is trying to get closer to them, and your Sim doesn't feel the same way, you can simply friendzone them and freeze all romantic interactions with them. Friendzoning hurts and rejected Sims who were already invested and had high hopes will get a special ''Unrequited love'' buff. Ouch! Luckily, those with weaker relationships will just get a ''Platonic Friendship'' buff, which is easier to cope with. If you change your mind and find that you like the friendzoned Sim after all, you can simply Un-Friendzone them, and start flirting again! This is great for developing genuine love stories and adding fun plot twists.

It's time to reinforce some boundaries. This real life mod will allow Sims to say 'no' when they are not in the mood for intimacy. This is a small mod, but a great one if you want to add more realness to how Sims interact. The mod makes them respectful of others' wishes, so even when they get no as an answer, they will still get a 'fine' buff and won't feel rejected.

Weather Realism mod makes the weather less predictable, and more real. In real life, we can never fully trust the forecast, and with this mod, Sims won't either. It adds new weather conditions, such as mighty showers or fog. Transitions from one weather condition to another will be way smoother, and you won't see dry asphalt right after the rain. Instead, there will be puddles everywhere!

Prepare your passports, its travel time! If you ever thought it would be cool to have a subway, get a driver's license and drive a car, this real life mod will knock you off your socks. It adds various super realistic options for both domestic and foreign travel. For instance, Sims who are traveling to foreign lands will need to get a passport and book accommodation before the venture into foreign lands. Those who travel locally can get subway passes, ride bikes, or get driving lessons and register a car (yep, there is a car in the mod) to move around. They will even have to maintain their vehicle and pay for fuel to drive it, just like real-life drivers do! And these are just the highlights of this extensive mod.

The Sims 4 has greatly innovated its gameplay by capturing more inclusive gender possibilities for our Sims. Through this mod, Sims can have more romantic and WooHoo interactions, gender transitions, and so much more!

Let's finish off this list by improving how Sims die and mourn, shall we? Death is always lurking. Even if you turn aging off Sims can still lose life in various accidents. With Mortem real life tragedies mod by SimRealist, a loss of a loved one will be felt more profoundly than ever. There is a whole new process of burial with this real life mod. Sims can properly bury the deceased, and organize a realistic funeral. People will cry, give condolences and show up to say goodbye. Besides classic urns that we get when Sims die indoors and tombstones, the dead can now be buried in mausoleums and tombs, which look fancier. The deceased can get a proper service, accompanied by a sentimental eulogy, a sad piano song, and eat some food with those who came to honor the dead. Greaving is a tough process, and Sims have the right to mourn and ask for bereavement. There is an option for Sims to report death and call in the examiner to take evidencer and take the body away in a mortuary body bag. Those who'd rather donate the remains to a scientific center may as well do so.
