New mod versions you shouldn't miss for Sim Update 6
Just recently, a new Sim update was released. And as we already know from previous Sim updates, it may well affect already installed add-ons and mods of your game. While some add-ons may not work at all anymore, others may behave a bit differently than what you are used to. As a result, we are relying on creators to release timely updates for their mods to ensure compatibility. Since Sim Update 6, many such updates have already been released. Below you will find just a selection of those that may be worth downloading again.
