The Sims Mod Manager
What The Sims Mod Manager is
The Sims Mod Manager is a free desktop app for organizing mods for The Sims 1, 2, 3, and 4, The Sims Medieval, and the SimCity series. It reads .package files and shows thumbnails plus contents such as CAS parts, objects, textures, and tuning. Players can drag in files or folders; ZIP, RAR, and 7z archives are unpacked, and The Sims 3 .sims3pack files are supported. Library tools include search, category filters, grid or list views, and live counts of enabled, disabled, and conflicting mods. A toggle disables mods by renaming files, while the app says it does not delete files or alter saves. The built-in Exchange supports browsing and installing listed mods, including SimCity 4 sc4pac channels with possible dependencies. The app can display save-file household and world information and place lots or Sims into the Tray or Library. Downloads support 64-bit Windows 10 or newer, macOS 10.15 or newer, and recent 64-bit Linux distributions.
