Update day broke
your game. Again.
You have 300 mods. One of them just broke everything. ModMinder tells you exactly which one — and whether you can fix it in one click or need to wait for the creator to update it.
Free. No email wall. How to open the first time →
3 hours of troubleshooting.
Or 3 seconds?
Every Sims player with lots of mods has been here. ModMinder was built for this exact moment.
“It worked yesterday!”
You added one cute kitchen set. Now your game won’t load. Was it the kitchen? The hair you added last week? Who knows.

You’ve been collecting for years. Duplicates, old zips you forgot to delete, two versions of the same mod. It’s chaos.
EA updated. Half your mods broke.
The worst day. Do you have to re-download everything? Wait for every creator? Delete it all and start over?
Powerful enough for 300+ mods.
Simple enough for your first mod.
No log files. No forum diving. No 50 restarts.
Install & open
ModMinder auto-finds your Mods folder. No setup, no typing paths (unless you want to). Your wife could do it.
It watches quietly
It lives in your tray / menu bar in the corner. When you add, remove, or update a mod, it checks everything automatically.
Click “Fix it”
Found something? One click quarantines it (never deletes). And it tells you honest: “You can fix this now” or “Wait for the creator.”
More than a “mod list.”
It’s your safety net.
Finds THE broken mod after an update
After EA drops a patch, ModMinder scans everything and points to the exact file that’s failing. No disabling half your folder over and over.
Tells you “fix now” or “wait for creator”
Some mods you can fix yourself. Some need the author to update. ModMinder tells you which is which, so you don’t waste an afternoon trying.
Saves your save files
Checks your saves for corruption before you load them in-game — so you find out from us, not from a crash that eats your 200-hour legacy.
Cleans up the chaos
Duplicate mods, forgotten zips you never extracted, files installed twice, mods fighting over the same thing. Gone in a click.
Flags the scary stuff
After those malware scares in the community, we scan script mods for risky patterns — hidden IP calls, webhooks, OS access. Rated clearly, never alarmist.
Never, ever deletes your mods
Every fix is a reversible quarantine. Your 300 carefully collected files are moved — not deleted. One-click Restore from History anytime. You’re in control.
Looks cozy. Works like magic.
We put actual screenshots here — not marketing mockups — because your wife said "show me what it really looks like." 🦙
We recorded it breaking.
Then fixing. On camera.
Drop a broken mod in Mods. ModMinder finds it instantly. One click quarantine. Save loads again. No restart marathon.
- ✓ Real Mods folder, real detection, no fake data
- ✓ See the tray icon ping the second something breaks
- ✓ Shows Restore — because we never delete
Demo video coming soon
Short loop: drop broken mod → auto detect → Fix it → save OK. We're recording a real patch-day fix now — no fake data.
The old way vs.
The llama way.
Because my wife has 300 mods and I got tired of hearing “my game broke again” from the other room.
I’m not a big studio. I’m a husband who built a tool for his wife (41, power user, very particular about her CC). She loved it. Her friends wanted it. So I made it for everyone.
No subscription. No “pro tier.” No account. No cloud. Your mods never leave your computer. Ever. That’s it.
- ✓ More automated checks than alternatives — built for real play, not demos
- ✓ Built for power users, simple enough for your first mod
- ✓ Free forever because my wife would kill me if I paywalled it
Love ModMinder?
Support the llama who fixes your mods.
ModMinder will always be free — my wife Tonya would kill me if I paywalled it after making her test 300 mods. But if it saved your save file, your evening, or your sanity on patch day — consider buying us a coffee. It keeps the lights on, the llama fed, and the free updates coming.
Ko-fi takes 0% from tips • You can tip once or monthly • Every coffee helps fund code-signing so Windows stops saying “scary app” • Thank you, really. 🦙
"He built this because I kept yelling 'my game broke again' from the other room. Now it actually works. Buy him a coffee so he keeps fixing my mods."
