Cuddle While Watching TV — Simkatu / Translated to Spanish by dokimtz
There is something undeniably charming about two Sims sharing a quiet evening on the couch, the glow of the television washing over them as they lean into each other. The Cuddle While Watching TV — Simkatu / Translated to Spanish by dokimtz add-on turns that little daydream into a fully animated reality, giving your Sims a tender new way to bond during their favorite shows. Whether you are building a slow-burn romance or simply want your longtime couple to feel more connected, this mod adds warmth to everyday gameplay.
What This Mod Adds to Your Game
At its core, this add-on introduces a brand-new romantic interaction that lets two Sims cuddle while watching television. It is designed to feel like a natural extension of the base game rather than a bolt-on feature, which is exactly why so many players keep it in their rotation.
- Adds a fresh romantic interaction for cuddling during TV time
- Available whenever two Sims are sitting together watching television
- Romantic cuddle animations that play out smoothly on the couch
- Facial expressions that shift based on each Sim's current emotions
- Works much like the in-game "cuddle while watching movie" interaction
- Listed under the Romance category in the interaction menu
- Compatible with regular sofas and benches
- Each cuddle session lasts roughly 90 to 120 in-game minutes
Because the interaction mirrors the familiar movie-cuddle behavior, your Sims will settle in comfortably without any awkward animation breaks. The emotional facial expressions are a particularly nice touch, letting a happy Sim beam while a tense one looks a little more guarded. For the best results, the creator recommends pairing it with the "Invite to Watch TV and Movies" mod, which makes gathering your Sims in front of the screen far easier.
Requirements and Compatibility
XML Injector Is Required
Before you do anything else, make sure XML Injector is installed. This add-on depends on it to register the new interaction properly. Without XML Injector, the cuddle option simply will not appear, no matter how many times you click the couch. Install XML Injector first, then add this mod to your Mods folder.
Supported The Sims 4 Versions
The mod is base game compatible, so you do not need any expansion, game, or stuff packs to use it. It has been kept up to date for current The Sims 4 versions, and because it relies on XML Injector rather than deep script hooks, it tends to survive patches far better than heavier script mods. If you are running a recent patch level, you should be good to go. As always, check that your XML Injector build matches your game version, since an outdated injector is the most common reason a mod like this stops working after an update.
If you prefer a smoother setup, the foxygame.net launcher handles the whole process for you, dropping Cuddle While Watching TV — Simkatu / Translated to Spanish by dokimtz straight into your Mods folder with a single click and keeping it updated automatically. It also flags version mismatches before they break your save, which saves a lot of troubleshooting later.
How to Install
Getting this add-on running is straightforward. Follow these steps and you will be cuddling on the couch in no time.
- Download and install XML Injector if you have not already
- Download Cuddle While Watching TV — Simkatu / Translated to Spanish by dokimtz from the creator's page
- Extract the package files if they arrive in an archive
- Place the files into your Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods folder
- Enable custom content and mods in Game Options, then restart the game
Once in-game, have two Sims sit down together in front of a television, click one of them, and look under the Romance category. The cuddle option should be waiting there. If it is missing, double-check that XML Injector is present and that mods are enabled.
Why Players Keep This Mod Installed
Small interactions often do the most work when it comes to storytelling. A cuddle on the couch says more about a relationship than a dozen scripted events, and this add-on delivers that moment with polished animations and emotional nuance. It fits seamlessly into base game play, plays nicely with sofa and bench seating, and gives your Sims a reason to actually enjoy their television time together.
So if you have been looking to add a little softness to your households, download Cuddle While Watching TV — Simkatu / Translated to Spanish by dokimtz, confirm your XML Injector is current, and let your Sims get comfortable. Your next family evening in front of the TV just got a whole lot cozier.
