Custom content and game modifications make the Sims 4 game experience more enjoyable. One downside, however, is when we tend to get lots of amazing mods that end up conflicting with one another. The solution? A Sims 4 mod conflict detector.

What is a Sims 4 mod conflict detector?

A mod conflict detector for the Sims 4 is a well-built GUI (graphical user interface) tool that helps detect and solve mod conflicts in the game. It was first created by Dmitry Malfatto at Mod The Sims in February 2015 and regularly updated until 2018.

Think of an unorganized Mods folder. Sure, game modifications tweak and improve the overall game experience. But isn’t it annoying when your mods are conflicting and, as a result, somehow negatively affecting your game?

The Sims 4 conflict detector addresses such issues. It allows users to get rid of not just conflicting mods, but also empty and unusable mods that got in the Mods folder by mistake.

Mod The Sims is one of the largest Sims 2, Sims 3 and Sims 4 custom content websites, providing quality free downloads, tutorials, help and modding discussions. 3,930 users active in 24 hours 225,561 files available 1003 tutorials online 415,192 threads 4,626,751 posts. The Sims 2 files for the Mac are hidden in your Library folder instead of in the Documents folder. To find your Library folder, click on your Desktop, find the 'Go' command at the top in the Finder, hold your cursor button over Go and press the Option key on your keyboard and Library will show when you do that. MC Command Center. This is the mod of all mods, the top of the totem, the cream of the crop!

How to use the TS4 MCD (Mod Conflict Detector)

The mod conflict detector program can be downloaded from Mod The Sims by following this link. But first, before you decide to use this amazing creation, here are a few things to note:

Extract all files from the archive into a folder before starting the MCD program. All files, including the .dll libraries and not just the .exe, must be included.
Make sure that all these files are contained within a folder on your desktop or other location separate from your Mods folder.

Once you’ve installed and opened the program, it will prompt you to scan your files for available mods for The Sims 4. Scanned mods will appear as a list in the Scan Results tab, and the program will tell you about the mod types and if there are conflicts. Basically, from there, you can organize your TS4 mods and delete duplicates or unnecessary downloads using the Sims 3 mod conflict detector.

Fans really outdid themselves with custom content in The Sims franchise.

Furniture, clothes, and hairstyles are one thing. But it takes an artist to create eye-catching makeup.

If you’ve played the very first Sims game, then you would know sloppy Bob Newbie. He’s the first character you get to interact with during the tutorial, and he set a pretty low standard when it comes to looks.

Then came Betty Newbie, Bob’s wife. And Bella Goth, who I used as a reference to make a hotter Sim.

Call me vain, but if you’ve been playing God since 2000 (like me) then micromanaging a Sim (from looks to the very toilet they use) becomes life’s purpose. I simply want to have a gorgeous-looking Sim while I make their lives better than mine ever will be.

Makeup pack CCs are one of the best things you can download to take on a micromanager role from the start. It has everything: eye shadows, blushes, glosses, even beauty marks. You could even add freckles on your Sim’s face to look cute.

Their appearance for the rest of their coded lives (until you drown them in a pool) depends on you. So make it worth it!

20. April Eyebrow Pack

It’ll take a major blessing to your facial structure to pull off having no eyebrows.

Those short strands of hair frame our faces and can evoke more emotion than the eyes.

Maintaining good eyebrows can be a pain. But a Sim just needs the right eyebrows to be modded in.

Mods For Sims 4 Mac

This eyebrow pack from Pralinesims is one of the best-looking eyebrow CCs I’ve seen online. It comes with 5 sets of eyebrow styles in 52 colors, varying in thickness and shape.

It works for everyone: from toddlers to elders, male or female. With its subtle eyebrow feathering, it’s set to be your Sim’s best brows.

19. Willow Rose Blush

Blushes give an extra healthy glow to the face.

With the right color and application, your Sim can appear like a spring dream.

But if you put too much, your Sim will look like they took a punch.

LadySimmer94’s Willow Rose Blush is the perfect addition to a Sim’s flat face.

The blush can be placed on the center of the face or under the eyes. There are 6 shades to choose from to match your Sim’s skin tone too. And with its light color, this blush can be used anywhere, anytime.

18. Universal Contour + Highlight

If eyebrows frame the face, contour makeup gives it an edge.

When paired with a highlight, it can create a slimming effect and provide a wonderful shine to a dull face.

Contouring can be quite hard to perfect in real life. But luckily you don’t need a makeup artist to create a high fashion look in The Sims.

Bubblevoid’s universal contour and highlight comes with 2 shades to compliment any skin tone. Whether you have an alien skin tone or not, this pack will have your cheeks covered (in luscious color and glitter).

17. Cheek & Nose Glow

If you can’t have the spotlight, then be the spotlight.

This reflective highlighter in 12 shades is a blinding boost to your Sim’s makeup.

When you just can’t get enough of that shine on your cheeks, you can add it to your nose too.

Become a beacon of hope for other players who haven’t tried the beauty of makeup CCs.

16. Jeffree Star’s Blue Blood Palette

Jeffree Star is an icon.

His well-loved Blue Blood Palette comes with 18 shades, which this CC has perfectly captured.

If you can’t afford the $52 product in the real world, then have your Sim enjoy it for free instead.

This extremely pigmented palette boasts vibrant shades of blues, mints, and peaches.

If you’re up for androgynous and bold features like Jeffree, then try your luck here.

15. Fresh Makeup Set

And here it is. My freckled dreams in one Fresh Makeup Set.

When your Sim’s not out partying and is fairly happy at home, it’s nice to let the face rest with barely-there makeup.

This pack contains freckles, 5 blush colors with different intensities, and 35 lipstick shades.

Do you know how many times you can mix and match blushes/lipsticks with this pack alone? No?

Well, that’s because you haven’t downloaded it yet.
