Sims 4 is a mature game, having been released a decade ago. Since its launch, it has received many additional DLCs, adding new content regularly. However, not every player wants to pay out for new content every time a new DLC becomes available for this life sim. And this is where mods can really help. These are freely available, community-developed projects, that often add new content to the base game.
The Sims 4: Best Food & Restaurant Mods
Though The Sims 4 Dine Out game pack exists, there are several fantastic mods out there that improve or add to the restaurant experience of Sims.
Mac users need to be aware that not all mods for Sims 4 will work on a Mac. Any mod that uses the built-in modding platform, and simply needs to be copied into the mods folder should work. Any mods that use third-party tools, or modify the game client outside of the modding engine, will probably not work on a Mac.

2 Post Office Career
Collect And Deliver Mail
- Mod author: Anesthesic
- Download link: Post Office Career
This great little mod for Sims 4 players on Mac, adds a completely new career option for a SIm. Two careers in one actually, as the player has two paths they can follow. Either the delivery path, or the corporate path.
If the player chooses the delivery path, they will progress through different levels, starting as a city courier, simply picking up and dropping off the post. Later levels of the delivery path progress on to long-term, vehicle-enabled deliveries, and eventually deliveries to a large rural area. Under the corporate path, the player begins as a mail processing clerk, and progresses through levels until they become the General Postmaster. The pay rates are decent for both paths, and add some fun new gameplay.

First, the reason needs to be explained, why this mod took top place on this list. The player can use this mod in two modes.

This is a great new addition to the base game, and gives a player some direct impact on the game world as well.
