Want your Sims 3 experience to be as realistic as possible? You can use mods to remove the nudity censor from the game. You'll need to be 16 in order to get the necessary files to do so.

Steps

Windows

  1. Create a free account at .sims2xsims.de. This is a modding site dedicated to adult mods for The Sims. You'll need to be 16 or older to visit the page and create an account. You'll need a free account to download the necessary files.[1]
    • Click the "Register" link in the "Content" menu on the right side of the page.
    • Create a username, password, and enter a valid email address. You'll need to verify that you're a real person by completing several small tests.
    • Follow the link in the email you receive to activate your account.
  2. Visit the Sims 3 Censor Grid Remover download page. Once you're logged in, enter the following address into your browser:
    • sims2xsims.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=1863#p5850
  3. Click the link for "Windows Version (Installer)." This will begin downloading a ZIP file, which should only take a few moments to finish.
    • If you're running an outdated version of Sims 3, you can find download links for earlier versions of the mod below the current link.
  4. Right-click the downloaded ZIP file and select "Extract All." Follow the prompts to extract the ZIP file into a new folder.
  5. Make sure Sims 3 is closed. Sims 3 needs to be completely closed before you install the mod, or you will encounter some errors. Save your game and close it out before proceeding with the mod installation.
  6. Run the installer that you extracted. Open the new folder and run "xSIMS_The_Sims_3_Censor_Remover." You'll be prompted by Windows to continue.
  7. Follow the prompts to install the mod. The installer should automatically detect where Sims 3 is installed. If it cannot detect your Sims 3 installation, it will prompt you to browse for it.
