In the context of the Sims 4, functionalities that alter or replace the standard in-game cellular device interactions are considered modifications. These can range from simple aesthetic changes to more complex alterations of the phone’s user interface and available actions. For example, a modification might replace the default ringtone, add new social interactions initiated through the phone, or completely overhaul the appearance of the phone within the game.
The significance of these alterations lies in their ability to customize and enhance the gameplay experience. They offer players greater control over their Sims’ digital interactions, allowing for the implementation of story-driven content or the addition of features not originally present in the base game. Historically, modifications of this type have been a cornerstone of the Sims community, providing ongoing content and extending the lifespan of the game.
