Auto Nails mod adds missing fingernails and toenails to Sims 4
Auto Nails fixes Sims 4’s bare-hand problem by auto-applying tone-matched fingernails and toenails across every outfit slot.
Bare hands can wreck a polished Sims 4 shot faster than a bad lighting mod. Auto Nails by deadlystingnyc closes that gap by automatically giving Sims tone-matched natural fingernails and toenails across every outfit slot, so households load looking finished instead of strangely unfinished. After one Build Nails Config run, the mod scans the catalog and keeps filling in missing nails whenever a loaded Sim needs them.
That quiet automation is the whole point. It reaches beyond CAS and into the everyday life of a save, which means townies, legacy heirs, and random background Sims stop drifting through the world with mannequin hands or bare toes in screenshots. The mod also adds pie menu options for changing fingernails, changing toenails, reapplying natural nails, toggling CC nails in the randomizer, and rebuilding the configuration after new nail content gets installed. In practice, that turns nails into a background polish layer instead of another outfit detail to babysit.
The safeguards matter just as much as the automation. Newborns and infants are skipped because the game does not provide nail options for them, bathing outfits are left alone, and Sims with fantasy skintones or non-natural coloring are excluded so the matching logic does not produce awkward results. That makes Auto Nails feel less like a flashy cosmetic trick and more like a tidy save-wide fix that respects the game’s limits while cleaning up the most visible gaps.
The need for that fix has been building for a long time. EA’s Spa Day refresh on September 7, 2021 added manicure and pedicure gameplay plus new nail art, but it did not solve the broader problem of Sims spawning without nails at all. The community filled that gap piece by piece, from WightSpider’s Natural Nail 2.0 on July 13, 2023, which covered female, male, child, toddler, and infant Sims with 55 swatches, to an earlier Patreon version with 45 swatches. WisteriaSims also pushed natural fingernails for toddlers, and EA’s April 14, 2023 infant update only widened the age range creators had to cover.
Auto Nails lands as a practical utility for players who want consistency without extra work. The file page listed version 1.0 uploaded May 24, 2026 and version 1.4 updated May 27, 2026, and it is marked compatible with the May 21, 2026 patch, PC and Mac 1.124.63. That is especially useful after EA’s May 12 update and May 21 hotfix, when the mod-compatibility thread began tracking broken and updated Sims 4 mods and CC across both changes. For screenshotters, storytellers, and anyone who notices the small things, the payoff is simple: the save looks more deliberate every time it loads.
