This comprehensive guide will teach you how to install and utilize the exciting “Can I Come Over” mod for The Sims 4. This mod enhances social interactions within the game, allowing your sims to reconnect with newfound acquaintances by initiating meetups through text messages. If they are ready for a meet-up, your sim will get a text back as confirmation for a meeting. Before proceeding, you must first have the XML Injector Mod Library installed. This library serves as a prerequisite for smoothly integrating the “Can I Come Over” mod into your game. To ensure a seamless experience, follow the steps outlined below.
Step 1: To get started with installing the “Can I Come Over” Mod for The Sims 4, you will need to download it from the official source. Visit the website “https://www.curseforge.com/sims4/mods/can-i-come-over” and locate the Download button on the page. Click on it and wait a few seconds till a dialog window appears to prompt you to set the location to save the file on your PC. Depending on your internet speed, it may take a few moments for the download to complete. It is recommended to save it in a location that is easily accessible, such as your Downloads folder.
Step 2: After the download is complete, you’ll need to locate the downloaded file on your computer. If you are using a Mac, open the Finder application. If you are using Windows OS, open the File Explorer. Navigate to the Downloads folder or the specific destination location where you saved the mod file. In most cases, the mod file will be in the form of a .zip file, which is a compressed archive.
To extract the contents of the .zip file, you can use a decompression tool like WinRAR or any other software that can handle compressed files. Right-click on the .zip file and choose the option to extract or extract here, depending on the decompression software you are using. This will extract the contents of the .zip file and create a folder with the mod files.
Step 3: Now it’s time to locate the Mods folder within your Sims 4 game directory. By default, the game directory can be found at Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods. This folder serves as the designated location where you need to place all custom content and mods for the game to recognize and utilize them effectively. As a precautionary step, while you’re in The Sims 4 folder, look for a file named “localthumbcache.package” and remove it. Removing this file helps ensure the smooth functioning of mods.
If you don’t already have a Mods folder in your game directory, you can create one yourself to ensure a proper installation. It’s important to note that if you haven’t installed any mods before, you must load up the game at least once and then exit to generate the necessary folders, including the Electronic Arts folder, for a seamless mod installation process.
Step 4: Now, navigate to the folder you’ve extracted from the compressed file. To install the mod, simply drag and drop the extracted folder containing a package file into the Mods folder. By doing this, you ensure that the mod files are correctly placed and ready for use in the game. It’s crucial not to accidentally drag in the .zip files themselves, as the mods won’t work in that format.
