Ever since The Sims 4 launched over six years ago, players have wanted the option to customise the in-game worlds.
Until recently, the option has not been possible without using mods for The Sims 4.
You might have heard about the new Brookheights mod for The Sims 4. It’s an open-world mod that allows you to customise a world, own and drive cars, fill those cars up – and a whole bunch of other things.
But if you are one of the beta testers for the Brookheights mod, you probably noticed that the installation process is quite complicated.

It requires quite a bit of overwriting of your game files and probably isn’t something new or vanilla players want to tamper with.
While there is no doubt this mod is 0nly going to get better, is probably not something players who aren’t used to Sims 4 mods and CC will feel all that comfortable using.
Quick disclaimer. This is by no means criticism of Brookheights. We’re already subscribed on Patreon and have been playing with the Beta – full review to follow but first impressions… it is seriously impressive. This is simply an alternative for players who might not feel comfortable using such high-level mods.
Right, where were we? Oh yes. Mods that make building ‘off lot’ in The Sims 4 possible already.
Another mod that makes it possible to customise worlds in The Sims 4 is the T.O.O.L mod – otherwise known as the Take Objects Off Lot mod.
While this isn’t quite as high-level as the Brookheights mod, it still requires players to be comfortable with using mods in The Sims 4.
Recently, though, it became possible for players to customise Sims 4 worlds without using mods or CC. You will need a few very simple cheats, but it’s well worth it if you want to give your worlds a bit of a makeover.
How to create Sims 4 worlds without mods
The September Sims 4 update came with some interesting additions. A bunch of world objects, most notably building shells, were added to the game’s “live edit” build mode.
The addition of these building shells is one of the big reasons we just wonder whether the next Sims 4 expansion pack might have a “create your own town” theme. After all, it is a theme that featured in a few early surveys about future content.

But you don’t have to wait for an expansion pack like that (if there ever is such a pack) to liven up your Sims 4 neighbourhoods.

You do not need any Sims 4 packs to make this work, but the more packs you have , the more options you’ll have for ‘creating’ your own Sims 4world.
First you have to turn on cheats. If you are not familiar with using cheats, you can read our introduction to cheating in The Sims 4.

To customise your Sims 4 worlds, you’ll have to turn on the following cheats:
The shells are not usable by your Sims, but you can get creative by setting different lot types and adding these usable buildings to them to create a very different gaming experience.
The generic lot type allows for a lot of different options to be built on a single lot. You can have a lot of fun with different layouts and different storylines.
After turning on all the cheats mentioned above, you can use the search bar in build mode to search for ** DEBUG ** items. Or, if you are comfortable with mods – you can use Twisted Mexi’s Better Build/Buy mod. It is not required, but it will make things a lot easier.
Once you have found the building shells, you can place them in any lot to create a whole new look for your neighbourhood. If you do not build often, it might take a bit of time to learn how to place these buildings.
The above example places a parking lot for the Eco Lifestyle expansion and a part of one of the uni buildings from the Discover University expansion.
There are loads of options to play around with. You can place the building shells quite close to the edge of the lot boundary and the buildings will remain visible when you switch to the neighbourhood map view.

Just make sure your buildings do not overlap with any of the other shells in close proximity or they will not render properly.
However, in most cases, you will be able to place your buildings ever so slightly outside the boundaries of the lot as you can see below. For this to work properly, you will have to have the move objects cheat turned on.
Here’s a look at how buildings can clip (in this case, the skyscraper is simply too tall to show up properly in Evergreen Harbor).
The Sims Plus aka Arnie Sims, the modder behind the Brookheights Open World Mod for The Sims 4, has released their much-anticipated World Edit Mod.
Currently only available for Patreon supporters through early access, the World Edit mod offers players a set of tools to create and customize worlds in The Sims 4.
While this is not quite like the version of The Sims 3’s Create A World (that’s just not possible with this edition of The Sims), the mod unlocks a lot of features to help players build the world of their dreams.
Simmers can shape the world as they wish, choosing from objects like trees, oceans, roads, and interactive venues to create a semi-open world on a giant 750×750 blank canvas.
Public access will follow later in the week and is fully base game compatible. However, the more DLC a player owns, the better the experience of using the mod will be as noted by Arnie Sims in the release notes:
The more packs you have, the better the experience will be and the more items you
will get. Some open lots/interactive venues might not be available for you if you don’t own the right packs. For instance: The University Campus Interactive venue requires The Sims 4 Discover University, or the Campsite requires Outdoor Retreat. How to use The Sims 4 World Edit Mod
The mod follows a manual installation process, with full instructions provided by the creator in the download file. Once installed, players can access the world by visiting the ‘replacement’ Newcrest world from the home screen.
Those who are familiar with TwistedMexi’s T.O.O.L mod will have a slightly easier time getting to grips with the functionality of The Sims 4 World Edit Mod. Players must use an active Sim to build and edit the world.
The video below is a walkthrough by Arnie Sims, which offers a detailed guide on how to use some of the mod’s functionality.
Out of the box, some of the mod’s functions can be a bit tricky to come to grips with. Keep in mind that early versions of such complicated mods will almost always have a few bugs. And, considering the complexity of this mod, that there is a learning curve is hardly surprising.
Creating roads can be tricky at first as they rely on road points as shown above. But there are plenty of ‘preset’ options to choose from with a simple click of a button. All of the items used by the mod are already part of The Sims 4 game.
These include things like oceans, forests, parks and several interactive venues like university buildings, graveyards and campsites. Players can also add additional world effects and objects and even share their worlds with others.

There’s more to come from Arnie Sims in the coming weeks and we can’t wait to see what’s next.
