The Sims 4 is a game that players can get lost in for hours on end. Sure, the outcry during the game's disastrous launch had a ton of credence, and many people feel like The Sims 4 was a waste of potential in many ways, even if its reputation has turned around following a string of updates, DLCs, and expansion packs. Still, with the amount of fan content that's available for this game, players can rectify most of the game's baked-in issues with a few mods.
One of the biggest draws of The Sims 4 is the Create-a-Sim portion of the game. Players love the idea of creating characters to populate their world, customizing everything from their looks to their outfits. The options for the latter in the game are quite impressive, especially with all the extra content for the game. However, players can still want more, and there are countless clothing sets players can download to enhance a Sim's wardrobe if they wish.
Updated on September 23, 2024, by Nahda Nabiilah: It’s hard for many not to spend hours in Create-A-Sim while playing The Sims 4 to create the perfect Sim and dress them in the best clothes. Although the original outfits in CAS are amazing, sometimes downloading clothing mods simply hits different. There are a plethora of amazing creators that offer their mods for free and Simmers can obtain any of the custom content by simply pressing the download button.

By miikocc
Players would love the option to enhance the wardrobe of their chosen Sim, and this collection of outfits will be perfect for the player to experiment around with. The dark academia subculture is something that most people may not be aware of, but the aesthetics present within are captured brilliantly in this mod.
The vibes of these outfits are pretty Christmassy too, making them perfect to wear during the winter season. It's a nice outfit for players who want their Sims to look as dashing as possible without relying on outfits that are too gaudy or colorful. With these muted colors, it's important to have a proper combination of styles and patterns to stand out, and the selection in this custom clothing mod more than justifies its position as one of the most popular custom outfits for The Sims 4.
10 Explorer Set: Sweater & Shorts
By miikocc
Most custom outfits need to have a nice aesthetic over everything else. After all, the content added in the game's official packs is pretty great and does a nice job of covering a wide and diverse color palette, making it harder for custom clothing to stand out. Thankfully, there are Simmers who understand the importance of a good aesthetic in their outfits, which can be seen in mods like this one.
This set of sweaters and shorts looks great for players who dig the combo. It's a great display of modern fashion, which would compel any fan of The Sims to download this collection of custom clothing if they want their Sim to be as fashionable as possible.
9 Cold Season Set
By backtrackcc
Players who love the Seasons mechanic in The Sims 4 have one problem — the selection of clothing that they can wear to combat the cold isn't all that extensive. Even with all the new additions present in the game's additional content, some people aren't happy that the wardrobe of their Sim is pretty lean when the cold hits.
The Sims: Every Supernatural Expansion In The Series, Ranked
The Sims franchise is no stranger to injecting the supernatural into the experience. Here's how they stack up.
This can be rectified by downloading custom clothing mods that enhance a Sim's wardrobe in this department. This collection of cute and fashionable outfits is perfect for Sims who can't get over the lack of winter clothing options in The Sims 4. The style and color of these clothing items are great and do a decent job of letting players enjoy a wealth of options instead of having to make compromises.
8 Long Baggy Jeans Pants

Denim has been in fashion since time eternal, with players loving the idea of decking out their Sims in a wealth of fashionable denim clothing that makes them look incredibly good. There's a decent wealth of options to choose from in the vanilla experience, but players who want to be completely spoiled for choice should download some mods that feature great denim fashion.
These long baggy jean pants come with a unique belt that can be customized, too, making for a great look that players may adore. It's not groundbreaking by any stretch of the imagination, but this mod adds to the expansive wardrobe of The Sims 4 in a gratifying manner.
7 Eva Dress
By arethabee
Sometimes, it's the simplest mods that end up being the most useful ones. Even with The Sims 4 being populated by a wealth of amazing dresses that look great, players should never scoff at the opportunity to add something new and different into the game, especially if said outfit is extremely stylish.
This fan-made dress is simple yet fashionable, helping it fit in quite naturally with the rest of the dresses that Sims can select in the game. It's perfect for a Sim who wants to whip out an elegant outfit for a party and fit right in, with the dress looking pretty striking despite its inherent simplicity.
6 January Daily Outfit Set
By RONA_SIMS
The January Daily Outfit Set offers players three individual clothing pieces. The first one is an oversized single coat with a mock-neck sweater that will be great as a Cold Weather outfit. For Simmers who believe that it’s too formal and may not be their style, there is also an oversized single coat with a t-shirt to appear more casual.
The third item is what ties the whole look together, which is the wide jeans. Both versions of the oversized coats come in 10 swatches, while the jeans have 15 different swatches.
5 Cinderella Dress
By DINO
What’s better than a normal dress? A princess dress of course! Although Cinderella is mostly known for her glass slippers, her dress deserves its moment. The simple yet elegant design alongside the soft blue color comes together to create an ethereal masterpiece, which was created perfectly in this clothing mod by DINO.
Although the original color was blue (or white/silver, historically speaking), the creator left room for creativity and added 18 other swatches ranging from pastel pink to dark black. To complete the look, make sure to dress the Sim with a high bun hairstyle, a black choker, and, most importantly, a glass slipper.
4 Teddy Set
By LIJOUE
The Teddy Set is composed of both clothes and accessories for Toddlers in The Sims 4. If counting the clothes options alone, it includes a cute ruffled dress with 30+ swatches, a comfy jacket, and a cozy knit sweater with 20+ swatches, as well as pants and leggings with 10+ swatches.
If players are up for it, download the whole set to mix and match the outfits to create arguably the most adorable Toddler. Alternatively, if Simmers only liked one item or two, it is possible to choose items separately as the creator provided a link to the full set as well as individual links to each item.
3 KK Basic Set 13
By KK's creation
The KK Basic Set 13 by KK's creation can only be described as a jack-of-all-trades. That's because the outfit is perfect for most activities of the day. It could be used as a cool everyday outfit, loose gym clothes for working out, or even work as comfy pajamas.
The outfit set is made of cargo pants that come in 20 swatches as well as a sweatshirt that also has 20 different patterns. Simmers can pair the outfit with some white sneakers and a wristwatch to complete the Basic Set. In addition, if the Sim is working as an Influencer in The Sims 4, there is a high chance that every Townie will start dressing like them in no time.
2 Scared Outfit Set
By RONA_SIMS
A great way to show up to a party in style is by wearing baggy pants with a leather jacket, as one can never go wrong with this combination. The Scared Outfit Set is guaranteed to look great on any Sims in every shape and form.
The set contains 10 amazing swatches that are mostly blue, red, black, and white. Downloading this clothing mod will give players two versions of the leather jacket with different styles of shirt underneath, as well as baggy pants that match the top's swatches.
