The final version of the mod is now available for public release after months of hard work by Arnie Sims aka The Sims Plus. The mod does require The Sims 4 Get to Work and The Sims 4 City Living to be playable, though.
The latest release includes an auto-installer, making the process of turning the mod “off and on” a breeze. The only slight downside to the mod, even with the installer, is that you still have to run a ‘repair’ of your Sims 4 game after uninstalling it. This can take a bit of time if you have most of the DLC packs.
If you are worried about how the December 2020 Sims 4 update might impact the mod – no need to fret. At the time of writing, there were no reported issues with Brookheights following the skin tone overhaul patch.
The world is not quite “open” to the level of The Sims 3 (that’s just not going to happen with The Sims 4). But it brings a whole new dimension to the game and offers a refreshing new way of playing.
While the main appeal of the mod is the addition of the open world, Brookheights, there is another feature that’s almost gone unnoticed.
Brookheights open world mod adds beautiful maps to the Sims 4
The mod also changes the world maps of some of the neighbourhoods in The Sims 4. The maps are so good that it even makes Magnolia Promenade look like a place you’d actually want your Sims to visit. Seriously.
The maps are actually a standalone mod by the same creator, which is still available for download if you don’t want the Brookheights mod.
Willow Creek, Newcrest, Magnolia Promenade, Forgotten Hollow, Del Sol Valley, Sulani and Granite Falls all get a fresh new look with the standalone Better Maps mod or the Brookheights mod.
To give you a sense of what we’re talking about, here are some screenshots of the new neighbourhood maps taken from our game.

The neighbourhoods will return to their normal look once you remove the Brookheights mod.
But after seeing just how stunning worlds in The Sims 4 can look, you might want to download the maps mod standalone for when you are playing without Brookheights, too.
One of the most annoying things about the way characters look in The Sims 4 is that everyone is the same height from teens to elders. This makes your sims look like they are all identical and have very little physical differences.
In real life, everyone has their own height and people can be an entire foot shorter than others. Thankfully, creators like Luumia Sims have created a Height Slider Mod that can help you have sims who are more unique and have different heights.
How The Height Slider Mod Works
This mod is pretty self explanatory and gives you the option to make sims taller or shorter instead of their default size. To use it, you just need to click on your sim’s neck/chest area and pull up or down to make it happen.
In addition to the height sliders they also added a cool detail which is a neck slider. Some people have long necks and some have short necks which can completely change the way a sim looks, so this is a really cool addition as well.
It is important to understand that these mods cannot be perfect. The game isn’t created to have different heights for sims because of the animations and game mechanics. There will be some clipping and weird issues once in a while but it is what you need to deal with to use it!

Final Thoughts
Mods are one of my favorite ways to change up The Sims 4 and the way my sims are looking, since regular sims can just be boring. Have fun creating new sim heights and happy playing!
