Step 1: Ensure Game Compatibility & Backup Your Data

Before delving into the world of mods, it’s crucial to update your game with the latest patches and expansions. Staying up-to-date helps prevent compatibility issues with the mod. Always create a backup of your save files before installing any mods. Having a backup ensures you can revert to an unmodified version of the game if any issues arise during the installation process.

Step 2: Downloading the Mod

To get started, head over to “www.patreon.com/posts/nc4t-be-burglar-65250052” and download the thrilling “Be A Burglar” mod. Once on the page, scroll down to find the downloadable zip file named “Be A Burglar.” Once you click the zip file, you will be asked to select the storage place for the Mod’s file. The mod will be saved as a compressed folder.

Once the download is complete, navigate to your File Explorer app (Windows) or Finder application (Mac) to locate the downloaded file. The mod will be in a compressed file format, such as .zip or .rar. To extract the file, right-click on the downloaded file and select either “Extract All” or “Extract Here“. Choose a destination for the extracted file and click “Extract” to proceed with the extraction process. If you’re using a Mac, a simple double-click on the zip file will unzip its contents. Inside the extracted folder, you’ll find two package files and a TS4script file, all essential for the mod’s installation.

Step 4: Finding the Sims 4 Mods Folder

Next, open another File Explorer window and navigate to the Mods folder in your Sims 4 game directory. Usually, you can find the game directory at Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4. If you don’t have a Mods folder or have never installed mods before, create one inside “The Sims 4” folder.

Alternatively, launch the game at least once and then exit to generate the necessary folders, including Documents, Electronic Arts, and Mods, for a smooth mod installation process. Ensure the game is not running while you install any modifications, and it’s also a good idea to delete the “localthumbcache.package” file from your Sims 4 folder.

This action ensures that the mod is correctly placed for the game to recognize and activate it. Remember to remove any older versions of the “Be A Burglar” mod from the Mods folder before adding the new one.
