Ignite your curiosity from the get-go by switching up your Sims 4 loading screen to something that’s more reflective of your own personality. Below are some of our favorites to give you some inspiration, as well as a short intro on how to use custom loading screens.
How to use custom loading screens on Sims 4
How to use custom loading screens on Mac - Sims 4
The base loading screen visuals are overwritten by adding your chosen downloaded loading screen to your mods folder. If you’ve never accessed your mods folder before and you’re playing on a Mac, click on your computer’s Documents tab, select Sims 4, and then drag your files into the Mods folder. You can only have one loading screen override in your mods file at a time in order for this to work, so choose carefully.

If you’re playing on a PC the process is similar. You’ll just click Electronic Arts before selecting Sims 4 and then Mods.
