Top 20 Sims 4 Best Building Mods
One of the most popular kinds of downloadable and usable mods for The Sims 4 game is building customizations. These mods provide users the maximum creative freedom to create all kinds of structures in their Sims universe, from complete buildings and rooms to standalone additions made out of walls, floors, doors, and more! If you're tired of the default builds and want something new and exciting, look into the mods we've included below.
20-Build Mode FreeCam (BuildCam)
Although this mod appears to be relatively straightforward, it actually adds a lot to the game's building mode. The function of this mod is that it adds a free-roaming camera to the buildbuy mode. It behaves just like the stock camera that the game already has. It's fairly easy to use. While in build mode, press TAB and it enters you into the free-cam mode.
Please note that this mod conflicts with the Better Buildmode mod because it already has this mod. For people who only want the camera and not the additional components for that mod, there is this mod. It’s a wonder the game doesn’t have it already included. The Tab mode hides the UI, allowing for screenshots to be taken without any unwanted items.
What's Fun About Build Mode FreeCam:
- This is the perfect mod to use for showcasing your decorating and build designs.
- There is a tutorial on how to create great screenshots while using this mod by Aquelamariene
