Best scary mods for Sims 4 for Halloween

Haunted Mirror

What fits better in a haunted house than a creepy haunted mirror? If your Sims are looking for something horrific, this mod is perfect. The Haunted Mirror mod by Sacrificial Mods lets your Sims unleash a ghostly bride named Hannah by chanting her name into the mirror.

Beware, though, since Hannah will then make it her mission to kill your Sims. She’ll use methods like her demon powers and even a chainsaw to get the job done. Make sure to protect yourself. Sacrificial makes some amazing mods, a lot of them horror-themed, so it’s no surprise we’ll see them again on this list.

Island Living Sirens

Unlike the other occults in the game, unfortunately, mermaids are pretty basic when it comes to skills and powers. But, with the Siren mod from Zero, you can turn your regular mermaid into a man-eating horror from the deep ocean.

By having your mermaid eat the Siren Kelp, they’ll transform into a horrific creature capable of drinking the blood of any helpless Sim in the water. They can lure them in using a siren’s song, and drink blood just like vampires. Even more, sirens can even drink enough blood to kill the Sim.

Zombie Apocalypse

If you’ve ever wanted your Sims to face the challenge of the walking dead, then the Zombie Apocalypse mod from Sacrificial Mods is what you need. You can cause your entire world to be infected with a zombie plague that requires grit, cunning, and plenty of supplies to survive.

If you want to take the villain route, you can spread the virus yourself to end the world. It’s up to you how your Sims survive, or don’t survive, the zombie apocalypse. It even includes an in-depth survivor system so your Sims can become saviors in a world taken over by the hungry undead.

Monster Factory

Frankenstein is one of the most ubiquitous creatures when it comes to Halloween, and now you can have him in your Sims 4 game. With the Monster Factory mod from Necrodog, your Sims can become the ultimate mad scientist and craft a terrifying monster to lurch about. 

Your Sim will need to purchase body parts to craft their monster, and using the various scientific objects will create a brand new life, with bandages and all.

Extreme Violence

This one is definitely not for kids. Extreme Violence, another great mod by Sacrificial, brings all sorts of violence and gore to your game. Not only does it include endless ways to kill other Sims, ranging from stabbing to beating, but it also includes a reputation system and the ability to join gangs.

It’s the best mod around if you’re looking to make a creepy serial killer terrorizing the town, or even just spice up your vanilla gameplay. Each death comes with its own animation, and there’s plenty of blood included in each one. While this mod is great year-round, Halloween is a particularly great time to bring some violence to your Sims.

Cannibalism

You can give your Sims a taste for human flesh using the Cannibalism mod from Necrodog. When standing at the cannibalism altar, your Sim can choose to eat the heart of a dead cannibal to begin their culinary journey into eating other Sims.

Once you’re a cannibal, your Sim can choose to kill and eat any Sim they want or perform autopsies on already deceased Sims to harvest their flesh for consumption. If you have the Monster Factory mod from above, you can even use those same harvested parts to create your monster. What a crossover!

Possessed Child

A young boy named Jonathon Colby had a short, horrible life, but now he’s back for revenge. With the Possessed Child mod from Sacrificial, if your Sim chants Jonathan’s name at his grave, his spirit will be unleashed to wreak havoc and horror on any Sim that gets too close. He can stab, bite, and even steal your soul.

Not only does this mod let your Sims take on this horrifying ghost, but they can even choose to become the possessed child themselves to go on a most horrible murder spree. There’s nothing spookier than demon children during Halloween, and that’s why this mod is perfect for this time of year.

Nights of Terror

Another mod from Sacrificial Mods, Nights of Terror allows for a great scary challenge for your Sims. For three hours, a terrifying entity known as The Blood Huntress will cause untold chaos and horror during a Night of Terror. She’ll kill anyone who gets in her way, in some truly horrifying ways.

Your Sim is able to fight back and protect themselves from The Blood Huntress, but it won’t be easy. And, if your Sim is killed by her, they don’t even get a visit from the Grim Reaper. They just become a pile of bones as their soul is lost. How horrifying!

Vampires Can Kill

Vampires are definitely an in-depth occult in Sims 4, but unfortunately, they aren’t particularly dangerous because they can’t kill any Sims. The Vampires Can Kill mod from Zero changes that and allows your vampires the ability to drink so much blood that they kill their victims. 

Not only does this mod include a custom death animation for those who have fallen prey, but they’ll get a custom ghost as well. If you want your vampires to be more dangerous for the spooky season, this mod is the one you’ll want.

Life Tragedies 

From the name of this mod, you would think it would be more sad than terrifying. And you’re partially right, but the Life Tragedies mod from Sacrificial Mods has an edge — you can release famous serial killers onto your Sims world like Jason Vorhees, as well as some original serial killers.

Killers might show up in your town as part of the tragedies of life, and there’s a chance your Sim could get murdered by one of them. It’s pretty realistic, seeing as how there are ways your Sims can escape the killers, and how they can be caught. It’s never been easier to turn your Sims game into a slasher film.
