Bird Life is a mod that adds dynamic bird activity to your game. Birds will appear on your lot to perch, fly, and chirp, making the environment feel more alive. The types of birds and their behavior change depending on season, world region, and time of day.

Key Features
  • Bird Spawning: Birds autonomously appear outdoors on lots.
  • Birdwatching Interaction: If you have Growing Together, Sims can use binoculars to watch birds. This gives moodlets like Inspired or Relaxed.
  • Trait-Based Autonomy: Sims with Loves Outdoors, Animal Enthusiast, or mods that add a Likes Birds preference may birdwatch on their own.
Cheats:
  • birds.spawn – Instantly spawns a bird.
  • birds.spawn_interactable – Spawns pigeons or seagulls that Sims can interact with (requires Cats & Dogs).
Expansion Pack Enhancements
  • Cottage Living: Strongly recommended for full functionality.
  • Cats & Dogs: Adds pigeons and seagulls.
  • Growing Together: Unlocks birdwatching with binoculars.

Why Players Love It
  • Adds ambient life and realism without overwhelming gameplay.
  • Birdwatching offers emotional depth, helping reduce stress or sadness.
  • Integrates perfectly with story-driven or nature-focused play styles.
  • A perfect companion to the Free-Range and Bug Life mods.
