SimSweep

Desktop mod manager for The Sims 4 · 800+ DAU · 7,500+ downloads

A cross-platform desktop application that scans, diagnoses, and organizes thousands of custom content files for Sims 4 players. Built with Tauri (Rust + React), cloud-synced, and subscription-powered.

The Problem

Sims 4 players accumulate thousands of custom content files with no good way to manage them. Broken files crash the game, mods conflict with each other, and the only troubleshooting method (the “50/50 method”) takes hours of manually pulling files out and testing one by one. There was no tool that could scan a folder and tell you what's broken, what's conflicting, and what's safe.

The Solution

SimSweep scans a player's entire CC collection and tells them what's broken, what's conflicting, what's safe, and what hasn't been used in months. One click, full diagnosis.
