Nothing ruins a high-energy GeekCon livestream or an epic rooftop DJ set like a sudden downpour frying all of Sims’ expensive electronics. The Rainproof Electronics mod ensures that laptops, gaming consoles, and even Servos stay safe from the rain, no matter how long they’re left outside.

While devices can still break from regular wear and tear, rain will no longer be the culprit — though Servos should still steer clear of pools and showers. This mod is especially useful for off-the-grid Sims or those who haven’t yet built a proper shelter to protect their tech. Whether players are city-dwellers who can get caught in a storm or nomads braving the elements, this small but essential tweak keeps gameplay smooth and frustration-free.

Whether they’re assisting with chores, hosting parties, or even raising a family, Servos can now operate at peak efficiency for as long as Sims need them.

The sleek charging device, available in build/buy mode for 1,000 Simoleons, ensures that Sims’ futuristic companions are always at full power. If players love the idea of a tireless, fully autonomous robot in their Sim’s household, this mod is an absolute game-changer.

Whether players want their Sims to become digital masterminds or white-hat informants, this mod delivers endless possibilities for high-tech storytelling.
