Do you have Sims who want to experience the amazing feeling of being a foster parent? Well, now they can with the Foster Family Mod! It’s all about providing care to young Sims or cute pets who need a loving home.
Here’s What You Can Expect From The Foster Family Mod
LittleMsSam, who is popular in the Sims Community for creating lifelike mods that spice up our gameplay in The Sims 4, is also known for launching the Foster Family Mod back in 2018. The said mod, which LittleMsSam constantly updates, allows our Sims to adopt and take care of precious infants, toddlers, children, and pets.
By joining an organization called the LMS Foster Family Network, the soon-to-be parental Sims can experience a smooth and efficient adoption process. Check out the best features of the Foster Family mod below!
1. Join the Foster Family Network
If your Sims are ready to be a superhero foster parent, let them grab their phone and find the “LMS Foster Family Network” menu. Register to the network so they can foster little Sims or pets and get notified when there is availability. If they change their mind, no worries, they can ust unregister anytime.
- Register for Foster Kids: Sims can sign up to be a foster parent and receive notifications when a child needs a loving home. Sims can also manually check once a day if there’s a young Sim available for adoption.
- Check for Foster Pets: Let Sims manually check daily for pets in need between 8 am and 7 pm (requires your Sim to have a pet bowl on the lot).

2. Choose Foster Family Options
It’s all about your Sim’s needs and what they can handle! Sims can set their preferences for the age group of kids and whether they prefer cats or dogs. They can always change it later or go back to the default settings.
- Customizing the Adoption: Via the phone, choose which age group of children and which species of pets (cats or dogs) Sims want to foster. Sims can change settings or reset them back to default.
3. Let the Love Begin!
Once your Sims are in the LMS Foster Family Network, they’ll get notifications when there’s a child or pet available for fostering. They can then decide if they want to welcome them into the home or not. They must pick through the Foster Family Pie Menu.
- Accept or decline the opportunity to foster. If Sims accept, they will go into a rabbit hole for 1 hour to pick up the child or pet.
