I'm thinking of starting a side career of making independent video games, but I'm considering starting out small by making simple mods for a game and eventually working up to making a total conversion mod. One of the ideas I have in my head right now is to use the Sims 3 or Sims 4 to make some sort of exploration game with direct controls customizable worlds. I have the Sims 3 and several expansion packs, but I did not get the Sims 4 because it seems like a cash cow to me. But again, I'm considering getting the Sims 4 because it is newer and mods would be more popular on a Sims game if it was on the newest one, so there's that. If you have better suggestions, feel free to suggest them. What would be a game with descent (but not too powerful) graphics, yet able to be easily modded?
