You’ll find four color variants: This loading screen comes with a matching white-toned plumbob, which will override any plumbob replacement you already have installed.

Customizable Phone UI is a user-interface mod from SimMattically, which lets you organize the apps displayed on your Sim’s phone. You can rearrange the apps into your preferred order and hide any options you rarely use, resulting in a cleaner and more convenient phone menu. This mod is especially useful if you have installed multiple gameplay mods with their own phone apps. Instead of scrolling through a cluttered interface whenever you need a specific service, you can keep your most-used options within easy reach.

Phone UI – More Apps Per Row improves your in-game phone layout by increasing the number of apps displayed on each screen. Instead of the default 3 apps per row (9 per page), this mod expands it to 4 apps per row, allowing up to 16 apps per page for a more compact and efficient layout. This is especially useful if you use many mods that add extra phone interactions, since your phone can quickly become cluttered and require constant scrolling. With this mod, everything feels more organized and accessible, and navigation is smoother and less time-consuming. It’s a simple UI tweak, but it makes a noticeable difference in everyday gameplay, especially for players who rely heavily on phone-based interactions.

Quick Save Button introduces a dedicated save button directly into your Live Mode UI, as shown in the image above. This simple yet life-changing button lets you save your game in real time without pausing to dig through menus. Since the option is right in front of you, it’s faster and more convenient to protect your progress. It’s especially useful during long play sessions, storytelling, or when you’re making multiple changes in Build/Buy and want to avoid losing anything. On top of that, the mod adds customizable save reminders that prompt you at set intervals, helping you build the habit of saving regularly without breaking immersion. Released in October 2025, this mod is one of the best new Sims 4 mods 2026 to add to your roster.

The Christmas main menu override is a cozy seasonal redesign for players who want their Sims 4 startup screen to feel festive the moment they launch the game. It features gently animated snowfall, drifting clouds, and a warm holiday interior complete with a decorated tree and snowy window view. The menu includes various quality-of-life upgrades such as adjustable family portrait sizing, disabled full-screen ads, ultrawide support, and a toggle for both the family image and news panel. It also comes with an alternative Sims 4 logo featuring a 3D plumbob. This is the standalone version of the Refreshed Main Menu, so don’t use it alongside the main edition or any other menu override.

The Sims 4 Spooky Hill – Halloween Loading Screen is a dark, atmospheric replacement perfect for gothic, occult, or Halloween-themed gameplay. It transforms the standard loading screen into a moonlit cemetery scene with cloudy skies, gravestones, trees, bats, and silhouettes of Sims wandering through the landscape. Unlike a static replacement, this loading screen randomly cycles through 12 different scenes whenever your game loads. This keeps the spooky scenery varied while maintaining the same eerie nighttime aesthetic throughout.
