Top 12 Mods for REALISTIC Historical Gameplay in The Sims 4

hello and welcome to my long awaited mods video  if you are new here my name is Chic and I play   primarily historical games one of those being  the Sims 4 and of course that requires a lot of   mods so today we are going to jump right into my  top 12 mods for meaningful historical gameplay in   The Sims 4 this is by no means an exhaustive list  it is more The General torical mods regardless of   time period first we have MC Command Center I  don't think that there is much that you can do   in The Sims 4 without this mod it allows you to  do so many things if you are playing historical   challenges that have specific aging requirements  you can change the Aging system for your Sims you   can do things like disable the monster under  the bed which is an incredible thing there are   honestly so many things that you can do in MC  Command Center that I have yet to discover all   of them I do think that this is a pre-requisite  for any historical gameplay or any gameplay in   general in The Sims 4 so you want to make sure  that you have this and you play around with all   of its capabilities next we're going to look at  gameplay mods and new skills first we're looking   at the functional Loom this is a very interesting  mod that I have not fully gotten play around with   but I did do so for this video you can make all  kinds of custom fabrics and then you can also   craft clothing not all of which is applicable to  certain historical time periods but there is a   large variety of clothes that you can custom make  and there's also decorations like rugs you can   make blankets for your beds the possibilities are  endless here and the means of making income from   this is very time fitting for many time periods so  this is a very awesome indepth mod it seems to be   frequently updated and as an added bonus it seems  like there's a good weight to the skill level   making of course it is its own skill and then the  money that you can make from it is substantial you   can even just sell the Fabrics themselves next  we have archery we love the archery skill in our   ultimate decades challenge it is a whole lot of  fun of course it is a new skill that you have to   learn and along with it comes craftable items at  The Woodworking table you can make bows and arrows   and sell them and there are also competitions that  you can attend I highly recommend this one for new   hobbies in historical gameplay I would be remiss  without mentioning the functional broom mod this   allows you to sweep your floors without vacuum  cleaners now note that this is also functional   for base game so you do not have to have the  bust the dust kit to use the broom but if you   do have bust the dust this effectively cleans the  floors for you and there are options for different   brooms for different time periods and this one I'm  showing here is the medieval broom this is a super   simple but very immersive mod that helps out a ton  with all kinds of historical gameplay now on to a   personal favorite of mine have you ever wished  that your Sims could go hunting or go foraging   without you having to go look for everything on  the map this mod offers so many good old timey   type activities including hunting going to the  village and getting fish playing games going to   church all kinds of fun stuff my personal favorite  aspects of this mod come in with the cooking and   the hunting so you can use the items that you hunt  and forage to make food of course you can also use   your general ingredients from the garden as well  there's also like warm milk that you can make you   can dye your yarn and add that whole element to  your off theeg grid lifestyle you can make bread   butter flour and sea salt which then you can do  salted meat um which only of course works with   the meat that you do get when when you go hunting  with the mod one of my favorite parts of this mod   are these Pantry foods which never go bad so you  can prepare those and leave them out forever and   they will not go bad very easy things for toddlers  and children to pick up when the parents are not   able to cook here we can take a quick look at what  a Sim with a higher cooking skill has available   there are more meals available for a Sim that has  a higher skill so there are things to strive for   it is so much fun if it seems like I'm spending  more time on this mod it's because I love it so   much so let's take a better look at the hunting  and the foraging and such so we're going to   quickly send Edward out he is from our ultimate  decades challenge he's going to go hunting his   daughter faith is going to go out and go foraging  we're just going to take a look at what this looks   like when they get back so Edward has returned he  now has venison a small rabbit and a chicken so   we're going to cut up one of these and just kind  of show you what happens so the meat is going to   appear in his inventory this meat does not go bad  so this is poultry it will not go bad like if you   were to butcher your chicken Off the Grid and not  have refrigeration that would go bad this meat   does not so we can see that faith has brought some  goodies back including ingredients for flour 10   out of 10 okay now we're going to talk about the  royalty mod this is a massive mod it can be kind   of period specific depending on what exactly  your goals are but there are many different   challenges out there for The Sims 4 that this mod  is fantastic for it adds so many new functions   we're just going to look at the main ones very  very quickly this mod is so big and includes so   many different things that we could talk about it  all day and probably not get through all of it so   we are not doing that today so the main thing  it adds monarchs you can have Kings and queens   you can have heirs Nobles you have inheritable  traits with this mod very very cool you can hand   out titles with this mod the possibilities are  endless this one in particular is great for like   the ultimate decades challenge or anything where  you want to play with royalty historically so I   definitely felt like it was important to include  this one today so you will have succession for   your monarchs there are are functions here for  diplomacy laws advisors it's honestly a huge mod   some of my favorite parts of it are in the social  system with options for how your Sims can work   themselves up in class so for example you might  there's like three options you can choose from   for how your sim for how they calculate what class  your sim should belong to like the physical money   that they have or the property value um however  you want that to work there are different options   that you can use there are executions dungeons  um it yeah there's a lot that you can do with   this you can boil people in a cauldron burn them  at the stake have an execution event all of that   and this mod is updated frequently so there's  there's always something being added to this   mod it's it's incredible I cannot say enough good  things about this particular mod and all of the   possibilities that it opens up in The Sims now  for waffles nectar overhaul now this is one of   the few mods that I am covering that does require  a specific expansion pack that is for the nectar   making that is available in horse ranch but this  is extremely important because it is going to make   it more realistic especially when you're playing  historically it is going to lower the power of   nectar making so in other words it's going to  decrease the value of nectar and it's going to   make the ingredients that you put into the nectar  more important so that is where this mod fits so   well historically because of the economy system  because nectar was already overpowered even for   modern playthrough I feel like this is absolutely  vital if you are playing with nectar making at all   historically next we have rambunctious religions  I absolutely love this mod I have to admit I do   not play with it nearly as much as I should this  introduces a whole world of religion to The Sims   we have the congregation of non-believers worship  of The Watcher my personal favorite treaders of   the occult and the cult of the cow plant and there  are new interactions available and Sims have to   discover their religion choose their faith and  it comes with additional items that you can use   you get like a holy book podiums microphones you  can do a religious gathering event and overall   I have found this mod functions very well and  I have very little issues with it and I think   that this is important for almost any historical  gameplay that you may partake in now we are moving   on to default Replacements the first one being  the phone to notebook replacement mod it does   exactly as it sounds it replaces the phone with  a notepad and it just looks like they're whipping   out a book instead of their cell phone it makes  it a little bit easier to ignore that they're   constantly getting on their phone and playing  games and such absolutely vital to have this   in your game next we have a bottle replacement  now this may not be 100% historically accurate   for all time periods that you may play in however  it is very hard to keep Sims from automatically   bottle feeding babies and keeping them primarily  breastfed so this prevents them whipping out a   modern bottle another cool default replacement  is for children's toys I will also link a wooden   block set along with this but this is a default  replacement so that means if I click on the toys   that we know and love from Modern Sims they will  actually pull out toys that look more historically   accurate instead it's not perfect but it is better  than just letting them whip out those default def   fault toys last but not least we're going to  look at some of my favorite items we're going   to look at them collectively and consider them  mod number 12 number one being replacements for   off thee grid items like water collectors candles  etc those are so important to have but I think the   most important one is this functional well that  allows you to actually collect water that you   can then use to shower or do laundry I think it  is one of the most important off thee grid items   finally we have default replacements for nursery  items cribs bassinets and changing tables there   are several different options available while you  can get away with using some of the game provided   Furniture when you're playing historically  I find that is not true for the bassinet and   other Nursery items and that concludes my top 12  mods for historical gameplay if you have enjoyed   this video please
