Best Mods for The Sims 2 in 2025

With The Sims 2: Legacy Collection officially released, the entire Sims community is enjoying their favorite nostalgic game to their heart’s content. However, nostalgia can blind us to the truth sometimes, and that truth is that The Sims 2 isn’t always perfect.

Luckily, the modding community for the series has already solved pretty much every problem you can think of in the game. If you’re looking for the most important mods for The Sims 2 that still work in 2025, we’ve got you covered.

The Top 10 Mods for The Sims 2 that work in 2025

Autonomous Casual Romance

While The Sims 2 does♋ give your Sims plenty of freedom, something they won’t do on their own is engage in some romance. That’s what by Simbology is for, ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚso your Sims can enjoy some loving.

This mod lets your Sims and others autonomously perform romanti♎c socials, instead of you having to direct it. It makes for some juicy storytelling, so if you’re into drama, this mod is for you.

No Eat Crap

I’m going to say something brave; I think all Sims eat way too slowly. I’ve yet to play a Sims game that doesn’t have this problem. It already takes at least an hour to cook a meal, and the🔥n two more to eat it since your꧂ Sims are too busy chatting.

Luckily the helps, by stopping your Sims from talking so much when they should be focusing on eating. No more worrying about your Sims dying of hunger because they just had to stop and talk about their hobbies.

Pregnancy Wear Any Outfit

You may not have quite as many clothing options in The Sims 2 as you do for later games, but it’s still a good selection except for one outfit, the pregnancy outfit. Regardless of your Sim’s regular style, as soon as they’ve goꩵt a baby bump, they’re relegated to a matronly top and pants.

With the mod by Squinge, your Sim can keep the pregnancy but ditch the lousy clothes. Be aware that some outfits conflict with this mod, 🐭so the pregnancy simply won’t show. Your Sim is still having that baby though.

OMSP

Another m🌸od for Bui💎ld and Buy Mode, , or One More Slot Please, lets you create far more realistic builds. Simply place down one of the OMSP shelves, and now you’ve got tons more slots to place clutter and other decorations on.

The shelves work with any table, countertop, and more. Sims 2 builds can look a🧜 bit bare, especially compared to later games in the series, but this mod solves the problem for you.

Community Time

One of the most frustrating things about the base game for The Sims 2 is that your Sim seemingly travels back in𓄧 time when returning from a community lot. If they leave at 9 AM and spend all day out shopping, they’ll return to their home only for it to be 9 AM again, ready for bed.

This will throw off your entire schedule. So, I hꦛighly recommend downloading the , so your Sim will return at the time they left the community lot. Not only is it more realistic, but much smoother for gameplay.

Shiftable Everything

The Sims 2 is superior to the other games in the series in tons of ways, but unfortunately🐈, Build and Buy Mode freedom is not one of them. While cheats can get you far, there are some chang🥃es you want to make that can’t be done.

This is where comes in. You can now take any object y🌃ou place in the game and move it up and down, instead of just across the grid. This mod is particularly useful for paintings, so you can place them anywhere on the wall instead of at their set height.

Community Skilling

Another limitation of community lots is the fact that you can’t build skills when you visit them. This is an odd choice, seeing as how there are m🍬any skills Sims need specific objects to build, that typically won’t be on a home lot. 

is here to fix th🔜at issue. Just add it to your game and your Sim will be able to gain all skills normally on a⭕ny lot. Now going to a community gym won’t be useless.

Same-Sex Marriage

As forward-thinking as The Sims series has always been, it’s still a product of its time. So, instead of same-sex marriages, Sims will have legal unions instead. This mo﷽d, tꦉhe , fixes it, so your Sims of all orientations can join in marriage. 

There aren’t any actual limitations to romance in The Sims 2, and you can perform any romantic social on any gender, besides the T⛦ry for Baby option. This mod just changes the name of the partnership to marriage. But, I still find it’s necessary sin🔯ce everyone deserves equality

Sim Transformer

The Sims 2 has some incredible supernat💎ural states, but they’re hard to achieve. You can’t simply make your Sim an occult ꦍfrom CAS, instead they need to be turned into one. This is what the is for.

Instead of having𓃲 to wait, this mod lets you instantly turn your Sim into a vampire, witch, werewolfꦰ, or zombie. You can enjoy all of the occult gameplay without having to waste time just trying to get there.

Build/Buy Mode Enabler for Community Lots

Have you ever visited a community lot in The Sims 2 and thought that something was missing? But, changing it would ꧟take forever, since you need to exit your current family, then open the building itself in Buil🥀d and Buy Mode from the Neighborhood View. 

The mod cut𒈔s out all that unnecessary work and lets you modify community lots whenever you’d like. Now, you can make the lot perfect for your Sims without having to wait through multiple loading screens.
