The Shopping Mod

This mod adds new shopping experiences and outcomes to The Sims 4.

All shopping experiences are available daily from 9am - 6pm, and you can select up to 8 Sims (household and friends) to go shopping.

The Shopping Mod v2.0 is in development - please check out my Patreon for the latest updates including WIP / BTS / Devlog💜 

Clothes Shopping Rabbitholes

Now you can send your Sims on a Clothes Shopping trip as a way to simulate having gone shopping and paid for new clothing to update their closet, before adding new outfits in CAS.

There are seven Clothes Shopping experiences added via the phone, with a new app called 'The Shopping Mod' :

• Thrift Store (§40)
• Big Box Store (§70) 
• Outlet Mall (§140) 
• Department Store (§200) 
• Designer Store (§400) 
• Half-Day Haul (§440) 
• Full-Day Haul (§600)

Your Sim will return home with a shopping bag in their personal inventory that can be used to open CAS and add new outfits with the 'Change Sim' interaction, and in some cases you can also open up the bag to reveal contents. Each clothes shopping experience also results in a custom moodlet once completed.

Materialistic & Freegan Sims

Materialistic Sims have an increased shopping cost since they are likely to spend more during their shopping experience and the trait has had a refresh as part of the mod with new whims added including 'Go Clothes Shopping'.

Materialistic Sims are now also able to 'Show Off Outfit' to other Sims via the Friendly > Small Talk pie menu.

Freegan Sims have a decreased shopping cost since they would be likely to spend less during the shopping trip.

Both Materialistic & Freegan Trait Sims have unique moodlets for each of the clothes shopping experiences to reflect their personalities.

Home Essentials Rabbitholes

There are four Home Essentials shopping trips you can send your sim on to purchase items, access via 'The Shopping Mod' app on the phone:

• Books & Study
• Home Decor
• Small Appliances 
• Tech & Electronics

When your Sim returns, you'll have the option to purchase items from whichever shopping experience you have selected. The purchase picker will show up for the active Sim only when they return.

Important Info

Requirements: XML Injector + Base Game (No DLC Requirements)

Purchaseable items in the 'Home Essentials' shopping trips will only show objects from the DLC that you own and will have no impact if DLC is unowned. Additionally, the Freegan trait is only available if you own the Eco Lifestyle EP. The game will simply ignore those mod features in both cases.

Conflicts: May conflict with any mods that alter the Materialistic or Freegan traits. 

Version: V1.0 // Compatible with 28 April 2026 Patch PC: 1.123.85.1020 / Mac: 1.123.85.1220
