Yawning Stretch Animation is a simple but highly realistic idle animation where your Sim yawns and stretches. It’s the perfect pre-bed moment to add to your Sims 4 night routine mods folder. Although it’s a small detail, it makes a big difference in making your Sims feel more lifelike as they wind down for the night. This animation works especially well for storytelling or casual gameplay by adding those natural in-between moments that the base game often skips. Use it to show signs of tiredness first and break the robotic feel of Sims going straight to sleep. What it adds:
Follow these steps to install Yawning Stretch Animation on your Sims 4 game:
Download the mod file from the link above. Sims 4 mods typically come as .package or .ts4script files.
Open your Sims 4 Mods folder. The default location is: Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods
Place the downloaded file directly into the Mods folder. You can organize mods into subfolders up to one level deep.
Launch The Sims 4 and go to Game Options > Other. Make sure "Enable Custom Content and Mods" is checked.
Restart the game if it was already running. The mod should now appear in your game.
Important: Always back up your save files before installing new mods. After Sims 4 updates, mods may need to be re-downloaded or updated by the creator.
Platform
The Sims 4 (PC/Mac)
Pro tip: If a mod stops working after a game update, check the creator's page for an updated version. Broken mods can cause the game to behave unexpectedly.
