The Sims 4 Multiplayer: Official & Community Options (2024)

The Sims 4 has no official multiplayer mode. However, several community-driven solutions enable shared play.

Community Mods (PC/Mac Only)

Mod	Type	Features	Difficulty
Sims 4 Multiplayer Mod (by pancake)	Real-time Co-op	Two+ players control Sims in same save simultaneously. Host shares a code.	Medium (Port forwarding/VPN often needed)
MCCC (Master Controller)	Async / Hotseat+	Not real-time. Allows "import/export" of households between players' games. Great for legacy challenges.	Low (Standard script mod install)
SimSync	Save Syncing	Automatically syncs save files via cloud (Google Drive/Dropbox) for hotseat play.	Low

The Gallery: Share/download households, lots, rooms. Filter by hashtags, skill, style.
My Library: Access your own uploads across devices (same EA account).

Steam Remote Play Together / Parsec / Discord Stream: Host shares screen + controller input. Only host owns the game. Works on PC, Mac, Steam Deck.
Console Share Play (PS4/PS5): Invite friend to "Share Play" → "Give Controller." 60-min sessions (renewable).

Backup saves before installing mods (Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/saves).
Update mods after every game patch (usually breaks them).
Use Mod Manager (Raven's or Sims 4 Mod Manager) for easy toggling.

For true co-op, the Sims 4 Multiplayer Mod is the closest experience—but expect bugs. For casual sharing, Gallery + Remote Play is zero-setup.
