Historical CC Mods

The Mod Archery Skill lets your sims practice archery — perfect for the men during a standard garden party.
Not only does it allow sims to acquire and work on an archery skill, but you also get five bows, five arrows, two targets, and three distances to work with.
28. Regency Romance
The Regency Romance mod brings a seriously historic feel to your game. It adds the servant, military and House of Lords careers to your game.
Not only that but you can mark specific tables as serving tables, practice writing on parchment paper and workout without equipment.
Not only that, but fancy gentry ladies can use fans!
29. Carriage & Horses MOD
Yes, there are horsed vehicles for your sims. The Carraige and Horses mod works similar to a bike, and features a Wild West Carriage, antique carriage and a stagecoach — so you can get your era right.
It’s suggested that you download the No Bike Helmet mod so your Sims don’t throw one on before they head out on the town.
Final thoughts: Sims 4 Historical CC
Adding Sims 4 historical CC to your game is a great way to increase not only the look and feel of the game, but extend your gameplay into another era.
Whether you want to play with castles and knights or you’re looking to add a little 1920s style, there’s plenty of stuff out there for you.
I would play with pretty much anything on this list. But if I have to pick a favorite though, I think I’d lean towards the 50s and 60s sets. I LOVE the atomic style kitchen (there’s a bedroom too that you can track down).
So, where are transporting your sims to for your next game?
