Grab your tinfoil hats as we kick things off this week with the Ministry of Propaganda career mod for Sims 4. Apart from providing an arguably prescient satirical take on the state of the modern media, this mod allows you to work for a fake news corporation. After starting out as a neighbourhood speculator charged with uncovering your neighbours’ deepest, darkest secrets, you can work your way up to become either a famous media personality or get involved in politics. If your virtual alter ego wants to wash brains rather than dishes and indulge their inner megalomaniac, this mod is precisely what the doctor ordered.

Let’s just be friends
 

Let’s face it, we’ve all probably been there. You meet that special someone, you hit it off immediately and the stars seem to align. However, there’s one big problem, they don’t feel the same way. Well, this mod for The Sims 2 allows sims to feel your pain by giving them the option to decide whether they want to friendzone their fellow sims or not.

The sky’s the limit!
 

They say that variety is the spice of life and that’s definitely the case with Midnitetech's career mod for The Sims 3, which allows your sims to expand their professional horizons in a plethora of weird and wonderful professions.

I need your boots, your clothes and your brains!
 

Think you’ve got what it takes to fight off the undead? Well, the Zombie Apocalypse mod for The Sims 4 is just what the doctor ordered.

If you’re a survival horror buff, this is definitely worth checking out. However, beware as this mod’s not for the faint-hearted.

With great mods comes great responsibility!
