A simple guide for Sims 1, Sims 2, Sims 3, & Sims 4

This wikiHow will teach you how to remove the censor grid that covers your Sims. By default, Sims do not have any nipples or genitals; custom skins and other content are required for anything other than plain skin textures. This wikiHow teaches you how to remove the censor mosaic-blur in The Sims.

  • Sims 2, 3, and 4 require mods to uncensor your Sims.

    Start up your game. If you installed the mod correctly, your Sims should no longer be covered by a mosaic when they're nude. (You can then use the NRaas in-game menu to enable or disable the mosaic depending on when you want it to be active).
