The neighbors are loud. Do something about it.

In City Living, loud neighbors are something you put up with: you bang on the wall, you complain at the door, and the party carries on. Noise Complaint adds the option that was always missing. Call the police, have an officer actually show up, and live with what happens next.

1Report the noise

During a Loud Neighbors event the phone gets a new Home option: Call the Police About the Noise. You can also Threaten to Call the Police at their door.

2The police respond

A uniformed officer arrives, knocks on your door, then on the noisy one. The neighbor is called out and gets the talking-to.

3The neighbor remembers

The music stops, but the grudge sets in: your Sim holds Bad Blood, the neighbor resents being Reported to the Police. The friendship drops, there is a chance of a fine of up to §250, and the first time they talk again, tempers flare.

The ending depends on you

Your Sim's mood decides how it ends.

The mod reads how your Sim feels the moment they pick up the phone, and the moodlet afterwards follows from that.

  • Vindicated!Angry when you dial
  • Sweet ReliefTense or uncomfortable
  • Civic Duty DoneAny other mood

Installation

  1. Updating from 1.0.2 or older? Delete Chatelain_CallThePolice_v1.0.2.ts4script (or any older copy) from your Mods folder first. If one is left behind, the mod shows a notice telling you which file to remove.
  2. Unzip the download and put both files in Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods/, directly inside or in one subfolder, never deeper.
  3. Enable Custom Content and Mods and Script Mods Allowed in Game Options → Other.
  4. Restart the game. Move into a San Myshuno apartment and wait for the neighbors to get loud.

If a moodlet from the mod ever seems stuck, open the cheat console (Ctrl+Shift+C) and type cpn.clear.

Changelog

v1.0.311 Oct 2026
  • Fixed moodlets that could get stuck ("Fed Up With the Noise", "Civic Duty Done") and keep flashing without ending. The mod now checks for stuck moodlets and removes them; the cpn.clear cheat also fixes them.
  • Removed the "Fed Up With the Noise" moodlet: the angry phone call is now animation only, so the mod can no longer push a Sim towards dying of anger.
  • The phone call now looks angry while your Sim talks, and lasts a little longer.
  • The noisy neighbor now has its own sentiment, "Reported to the Police", instead of sharing the caller's "Bad Blood".
  • "Still Angry About the Noise" (caller) and the new "Still Bitter About the Police" (neighbor) now appear once, the first time the two Sims talk within two days of the complaint, instead of every time they pass each other.
  • The officer's talk with the neighbor lasts longer, with new speech balloons that match the kind of noise (music, woohoo or fight). The officer shows a fine or a warning at the end.
  • New moodlet icons.
  • The game's own neighbor-to-neighbor lines no longer pop up during the police visit.
  • The officer stays in the hallway: he no longer walks into your apartment or argues with your Sim during the visit.
  • The script file no longer has the version in its name, so updates replace it. If an older copy is left in your Mods folder, the mod tells you which one to delete.
  • Portuguese (Brazil) text updated.
v1.0.27 Sept 2026

Fixes the "Fed Up With the Noise" moodlet sometimes staying on the Sim forever (for example after saving mid-call), which could leave them Enraged and at risk of dying of anger. The call moodlet is now Very Angry instead of Enraged, always expires, and leftover call moodlets are cleaned up on load. No other gameplay changes.

v1.0.13 Sept 2026

Fixes missing text for German players and English text showing for Portuguese players (wrong language tables). No gameplay changes.

v1.0.03 Sept 2026

Initial release.
