šPolitical World Update - Meet the Custom Political Gurus
Iām really excited to finally release the Custom Political Gurus for the Political World Mod!
This has been one of the most requested features since the mod first launched and Iām so happy to say itās now available. You can now swap out the real-world political gurus for a full set of fictional political gurus Sims, each representing one of the main political traits in the game.
A quick personal note:
I started working on this mod back in September 2024, before any of us could predict what 2025 would bring. Like a lot of you, I use The Sims as a way to escape and be creative and I understand that seeing certain real-life political figures in your game right now might feel heavy or even upsetting especially those based in the US. Thatās why I made this update a priority. I hope this update helps bring the fun and satire back into the experience. šš
See the below breakdown of the new each of the custom political Gurus and their tailored features I have also added to make the overall gameplay more fun:
š§Change to Downloading Instructions
Alongside the release of the Political Gurus, this update introduces key changes to how the mod is installed and run:
ā Removed: Andirz's BrainBlasted Tool is no longer required, the mod can now run without it.
š§© New Installation Choice:
The Real-Life Gurus and Fictional Gurus are now provided as separate packages outside of the main Political World mod. You must choose one version to use in your game, only one can be in your Mods folder at a time.ā ļøAfter downloading, delete the version you donāt want before launching The Sims 4 to avoid conflicts or duplicate Sims.
Thank you for your amazing support and honest feedback. This community continues to help shape the mod into something hilarious, weird, and actually kind of brilliant.š

I really enjoy this mod; you did an excellent job! But I wonder if there could be a couple of tweaks to make gameplay a little better. It seems like the Illuminati trait is automatically assigned just because a family is rich. It'd be nice if that wasn't auto-assigned, and if I remove the trait through cheats, it'd be great if it stayed removed. Also, the mood buffs for politics never go away, I can't even cheat them away. My sims never feel negative emotions anymore, and some have died from hysteria because the buff enhances positive moods like playful.
Helloo! Im glad you are enjoying it! :) These are good suggestions! I will make an update this week that will allow people to choose if they want political traits and illuminati traits to be auto assigned to npcs. Also in regards to the mood buffs.. some of them are fixed but i believe i put a time limit for some of these buffs.. for which political trait are you having this issue? I will make some tweaks
I'm super excited for this, thanks so much for making a fictional version! I'll definitely be downloading the fictional version, I feel a little more comfortable not constantly being reminded of certain people that I'm already being reminded about on a daily basis lol. Plus, I feel having fictional gurus is better for my immersion. Though now I'm wondering. If I download the fictional version, does it basically wipe away the real life gurus, even if my sims know them? Or does it just replace them?
Apologies i thought i responded to this! It should replace the gurus that will turn up at specific venues but i think the game might retain the saved real life gurus especially if anyone has placed them in a household/lot
Hello! I really loved your mod, it was exactly what I was looking for! Congratulations on creating something so extraordinary! But unfortunately, Iām having a small problem after adding it. When I change the lot type and leave the build mode, the loading screen gets stuck in a loop. Do you know what could be causing this? I thought it might be a conflict with a file from another mod, but I have no idea which one.
Hellooo! Thank you :) i will look into asap.. what is the lot trait you are trying to assign?
this is SO FREAKING COOL!!!!! i've been wanting something like this in sims for so long. you are so talented!! I'm happy to see I discovered it the day after you took out the real political figures; as much as I love politics, seeing D*nald Tr*mp in my game might make me go crazy. thank you so much for this mod dude!!!!! :3
Ahhh that makes me so happy !! I hope you enjoy playing it! Recent changes have been due to feedback so let me know if there is anything i can change to make gameplay better for you š
These are really cool I think I'll still stick with the fictional but then I thought of what if we could mix them? Like what if we want to keep all the characters besides say Donald Trump lol could in the future maybe we can mix and choose? For now I'm good with the fictional but it would be cool if we could mix them in case we get sick of one lol.
yes i think someone else mentioned the fact they want the gurus to be able to die and i was thinking about maybe a feature where the political guru title is passed to another npc after they die.. i.e. Nationalist Guru will be passed to another NPC at random when they die or this can be triggered manually....maybe add a cheat for players to choose what npc should have this title./ How does this sound? Does that align with your idea is?
Love them, i'll be playing with the officials but they're perfect for people that prefer fictional characters. You're releasing banger after banger
Thank youu !!! š The real life gurus have the additional features added too ! Enjoy !
