The newest build in its list on November 10, 2026 is 2.1.24 Beta, dated September 20, 2026. - **Windows:** choose **Download Installer (.exe)**. You need Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. - **Mac:** choose **Apple Silicon** for M-series Macs or **Intel Chips** for older ones. You need macOS Big Sur (11.0) or later. - Run the installer, or open the `.dmg` and drag the app to Applications. Install it anywhere except the Mods folder. - Close The Sims 4, open the manager and let it read your Mods folder. The same page has a **Previous Releases** list for older systems. The author supports Windows 10 and later; he says it may run on Windows 7 or 8 with an older version, without support. There is no Linux version. Already installed? Run the new installer over the old one. It keeps your settings. ## Download the CurseForge app - Open [curseforge.com/download/app](https://www.curseforge.com/download/app). - On Windows pick **Download standalone** or **Download on Overwolf**. Both versions support The Sims 4 on Windows 10 and 11. On a Mac, use the macOS download (macOS 12 or later). - Open the app and choose The Sims 4. If you add the game by hand on a Mac, select the folder that contains `The Sims 4.app`. - Use **Scan mods folder** to add the mods you already have. CurseForge also offers a Linux app, but its support page does not list The Sims 4 for Linux. ## Safety checks before you run a download - **Check the address.** S4MM lives on gametimedev.de. The old link gametimedev.de/S4MM redirects to s4mm.gametimedev.de. - **Check the signature.** The author says every official Windows and Mac release is digitally signed, and that unsigned copies should never be run. - **Antivirus warning on S4MM?** The author says some scanners flag it because he is a small developer. A warning on a copy from any other site is a reason to delete it. - **Ignore "premium" and "cracked" versions.** S4MM, CurseForge and Vortex are all free from their own pages. - **Follow EA's rule.** EA says to download mods only from a trusted source or creator, and that it does not pre-screen or support mods. - **Back up first.** Copy `Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4` somewhere safe before a manager moves or deletes anything.
