More Woodworks
If you have ever felt that the standard Woodworking Table in The Sims 4 limits your creative potential, then the More Woodworks add-on is exactly what your Sim's workshop has been missing. This fan-favorite mod transforms a simple hobby into a full-blown furniture manufacturing empire. Instead of being stuck with the same few chairs and tables, you can now craft over 170 unique, "woody looking" objects that fit seamlessly into any build. Whether you are designing a rustic cabin or a modern loft with natural accents, this mod provides the variety you have been craving.
What Does More Woodworks Add to the Game?
This mod does not just add a couple of new items; it completely revamps the crafting system at the Woodworking Table. The core feature is a brand-new "Craft" pie menu that appears when your Sim interacts with the table. This menu is split into two distinct categories, ensuring that both builders and magic enthusiasts find something to love.
Furniture: A Woodworker's Dream
The "Furniture" interaction is the heart of the mod. It lists a massive catalog of new recipes, all using the original in-game objects. This means you are not getting weird, low-quality meshes. Instead, you are getting the classic, polished furniture pieces from the base game and expansion packs, but now they are available to craft from raw wood. The best part? Because these are original objects, you can still "Recolor" them in Build/Buy mode after crafting. You can create a full matching set of beds, sofas, and decorative items that all share the same high-quality wood texture.
To get started, your Sim will need to reach Level 2 Handiness. Once they hit that milestone, the new interactions will unlock, allowing them to build their first objects. From there, the possibilities are endless, with over 170 recipes to discover and master.
Magic: Wands and Brooms
For those who dabble in the occult, the "Magic" interaction is a game-changer. This section allows your Sim to craft Wands and Brooms from the "Realm of Magic" game pack. Instead of relying on the magical realm to provide these tools, your master woodworker can now create them right at their workbench. This is perfect for storytelling and gives your spellcaster a more hands-on origin story.
Optional Addons to Enhance Your Experience
The base mod is fantastic on its own, but the creator has included optional add-ons to tailor the experience to your preferences. These are separate files that you can choose to install based on your playstyle.
- Tooltip (Requires Lot 51 Core Library): This add-on adds a handy tooltip to all crafted objects. You can hover over a piece of furniture and see exactly who made it and what it is worth. It is a great feature for Sims who run a furniture-selling business.
- Better Menu: This quality-of-life improvement replaces the standard in-game crafting pie menus with a cleaner, more organized interface. It makes navigating the huge list of recipes much easier.
Compatibility and Requirements
Before you download, there is one crucial requirement: More Woodworks requires the XML Injector Mod to function. This is a library mod that allows other mods to add new interactions without breaking the game. Make sure you have that installed first. The mod is also compatible with the Lot 51 Core Library if you plan on using the Tooltip add-on. It supports the base game and all relevant expansion packs, including Realm of Magic. It is designed to work with the latest versions of The Sims 4, but you should always check for updates after a major game patch.
If you are wondering how to install the mod, it is a simple process. First, ensure you have the XML Injector in your Mods folder. Then, download the More Woodworks package file and place it into your Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods folder. Do not forget to enable "Script Mods" in your game settings before launching. Once you are in the game, the new menu will appear on the Woodworking Table for any Sim with Level 2 Handiness.
For players using the foxygame.net launcher, the process is even smoother, as the launcher's add-on catalog allows you to download More Woodworks for The Sims 4 with a single click, automatically placing it in the correct directory. The launcher also handles version compatibility checks, so you can be sure that the mod will work with your current game build without manual file management.
Language Support and Community
The mod is available in several languages, making it accessible to a global audience. The default language is English, but you can find translations for German, Danish, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), and Swedish. This dedication to localization shows the community's love for the mod. If you run into any issues or have suggestions, the creator offers mod support via their Discord server, where you can also find links to download More Woodworks and its updates.
In conclusion, More Woodworks is an essential add-on for any Sim who enjoys the crafting skill. It adds depth, variety, and a sense of accomplishment to the Woodworking Table. Whether you are building a furniture empire or just want a custom wand for your wizard, this mod delivers a wealth of content that feels like a natural extension of the game. It is a must-have for builders and storytellers alike, ensuring that your Sims' handiwork is always unique and beautiful.
