Play The Sims 4 on MacBook with mods thanks to Shadow PC
CC, script mods and graphics injectors work best on the Windows version of The Sims 4. Shadow is a full Windows PC, so you have native support for mod managers and tools that many creators release first for Windows, including ReShade which is not supported on the native macOS version. Your large CC and cache files live on your Shadow rather than on your Mac, and with up to 1 Gb/s downloads you install and update big mod packs faster while keeping local storage free on your Macbook.

How to install The Sims 4 mods on macOS?

Launch your Shadow PC and The Sims 4, go to Options → Other, tick Enable Custom Content and Mods and Script Mods Allowed, then restart the game so it creates/refreshes the Mods folder.

Grab mods/CC from reputable hubs (e.g., CurseForge), then copy the downloaded .package/.ts4script files into Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods on your Shadow PC. (Lots/Rooms go in the Tray folder.)

Relaunch the game and confirm the Mods/CC list appears. After each game update, refresh or remove outdated mods to avoid conflicts.
