Teach a man to mod a swimming pool, and he'll swim for a lifetime, as the old saying goes.

While The Sims 4 mysteriously won't feature swimming pools (because ???), it will have confirmed mod support just like previous Sims titles.
According to The Sims VIP, Maxis described modding work as "super inspiring", and asked people to "continue doing it, as we want to be able to encourage and foster that creativity because it's so important to what The Sims means to everyone."
"We cannot officially support and screen everything that comes out," say Maxis, "so it is very important to us that we set up a good foundation that can help the community manage what they're creating, and communicate to other people how to responsibly get involved in the modding and creating community."
The Sims 4 will include:
- Directory for Mods in the user data folder.
- Custom Content Technology Document with data formats that will help creators avoid conflict with what has been done in the game. This document will be expanded on as we go along.
- Dedicated Modding Section section on The Sims 4 Official Forums for feedback, discussion, and issues.
- Game options panel contains section for mods. (Script and Non-Script)
The Sims 4 launches next month on September 4.
