Functional Nail Salon is a gameplay mod that allows your Sims to own and operate working nail salons. Sims with the Nail Salon trait can open and close their businesses, collect payments every 24 hours, and earn between §750 and §2,500 from their services. This mod is base game compatible, but you’ll need Spa Day to perform manicures and pedicures. Your Sim also needs a Level 6 Wellness skill or higher to provide nail services. The mod uses the All-In-One Power PC, and you can place the salon on residential, generic, or spa lots. Also, spa lots will spawn NPC workers. Once installed, your Sims gain access to the Nail Salon trait in the Lifestyle category in CAS. Customers can receive manicures and pedicures, and you’ll unlock additional social interactions through the Nail Customer menu.

Private Prisons V2 lets your Sim become a prison warden and manage a fully functional private prison in The Sims 4. Your responsibilities will include overseeing inmate intake, processing prisoners, performing searches, sending offenders to solitary confinement, and deciding when it’s time to grant parole. The prison can operate on either a Generic or Residential lot, so it’s easy to fit into different save files. As inmates arrive, your Sim must process each one before prison-specific interactions become available. If you’re looking to expand your police or crime-focused gameplay beyond arrests, this Sims 4 police mod adds another layer of realism to your law enforcement storylines.

Off Grid Survival V2 is a simple survival mod designed for Sims living away from modern conveniences. It adds a Survivalist trait, resource gathering, hunting trips, animal traps, and a functional workbench for creating essential equipment. After assigning the Survivalist trait in Create A Sim, click your Sim to access new rabbit-hole interactions. Your Sim can gather materials, search for food, or go hunting, but success isn’t guaranteed. Some trips produce hunted meat, while others send your survivor home empty-handed. You can use Off Grid Survival V2 alongside a zombie outbreak mod to make food and resources difficult to access after society collapses. Instead of letting your survivors purchase groceries or cook freely, assign them the Survivalist trait so they rely on hunting, gathering materials, and animal traps. This creates a realistic risk-and-reward system for zombie gameplay. Your survivors may need to leave the safety of their bunker to search for supplies, then return without enough food for the household.

Functional Hair Salons is one of the best mods for players who want more than decorative salon builds. It adds a fully playable cosmetology system to your game, complete with hair salons, cosmetology school, skill progression, and licensing. With this mod, your Sims can attend cosmetology school, research hair care topics, improve their cosmetology skill, and eventually earn a license to open a functional salon. Hair services become available as your Sim gains experience, creating a rewarding progression system. To set up a cosmetology school, place a few computers on a generic lot and add the hairstylist chair from Get Famous. Your Sims can then join cosmetology school events from their phone and study topics like:

Moving Out Custom Aspiration is a storytelling mod designed for Sims who are ready to leave a bad roommate, unhappy relationship, or difficult living situation behind and start fresh. Once your Sim begins the moving-out process, they receive the New Beginning trait and unlock a dedicated Moving Out social menu. You can use the new interactions as your Sim works toward leaving their current home. After the move, select Complete Moving Out from the Actions menu to remove the New Beginning trait. The mod also adds a Moving Out aspiration under the Housing aspiration category. Note that completing its goals rewards your Sim with the Stronger Alone trait, making this a fun option for breakup storylines, roommate drama, or any storyline centered around starting over. You’ll need the XML Injector for this mod to work.
