The first "Sims" title was released in early 2000 making its modding communities one of the oldest/longest-running in gaming history. Unlike many other modding communities which surround other games, The Sims is a title enjoyed by people from all walks of life and as such the content is of a unique quality.
Second Life is the easiest comparison as SL is one of the unique titles that not only has the default user-base of screechy children but also balding men and bored housewives seeking to experience their own unique flavor of drama.
Perhaps one of the most familiar images I can show from The Sims is of the infamous "mosaic" censorship which hid away the anatomy of Sims characters when they would use the bathroom or get dressed. It was one of the first things people tried to mod out of the game.
Although many of the "mods" are simple adjustments of game mechanics, there are a lot of adult-oriented mods. Such is the supply and demand of adult-oriented Sims mods that the most popular modding site (Mod The Sims) has its own separate site titled "Sexy Sims".
Before we go on to look at the modding community (which is the main point of this thread) lets address the game itself. The Sims allows the user to create a fantasy world in which real-life rules don't really apply. It has a reputation for everyone from cooking babies in ovens to drowning Sims in pools (by removing the ladder).
Even with its "mosaic censorship" the game still famously caught the ire of Jack Thompson (that old politician who got mad about Postal and Grand Theft Auto):
The modding community is well established and exists across a range of websites and platforms in different languages. Not only are the users of these sites exceptional but so are the people who own and operate them. For example, the creator of ModTheSims, Stuart Standfield is allegedly a convicted pedophile and was supposedly given sex offender status over having a few dozen images of underage females on his computer:

The "Abortion Clinic Mod" sounds interesting, lets have a look...
What about the "Inteen" Mod, what's that?

Adult-related mods are one thing, but what about your "plain jane" players who only seek to change the original game a little bit? Surely there are some more vanilla mods?

How about the "Allergic to Fur" mod?
And what about those weirdly specific mods involving children? Well you can just post a request on one of the community forums! Make sure you include no less than 6 reference photos of young women in cheerleading outfits!

Besides the mods, what about the people who actually install and use them?

Its easy to see that The Sims modding community truly has something for everyone! However, something is still missing! Everyone knows that only "true & honest" modding communities have their own special rivalries and infighting:
