Original Post starts here:

Hey y'all!

Something casual for your more humble sims. Not all sims can afford a massage chair and that's okay!

**I know this has been done before but the ones I found weren't to my liking. I hope you enjoy this version.

Purchase 'Always Polished Nail Polish' under Clutter in Buy Mode.

Select 'Home Manicure' on the object or on your sim. Note, interaction will not show up on your sim if you do not have the Nail Polish in your inventory. This is so you can declutter your Sim Menu if you so wish.

v2.2 onwards: Start the interaction directly from the object than on sim. 

Info:

Costs $35 per application.

Increases Wellness Skill.

Multiple sims can use it as long as there is enough space around the Polish.

Installation

1. You need Scumbumbo's XML Injector.

2. Pick only ONE package file to download below.

*Override version overwrites the base game nail polish clutter.*Non_override creates a new copy of the polish.

Thanks for reading!HAPPY SIMMING! :)

2026-09-07 03:00 Would it be possible to create a non object override version of this with autonomy enabled again? For mods that give sims an active task, I enjoy sims to being able to do it without me directing them to :)

Hi Jelly. I'll look into it but no promises. Game autonomy is a big bear to wrestle. 😅

You inspired me to research pedicure videos and wow the amount of dead skin that gets scrubbed off omfg. 😭 Always wanted to follow up with a pedicure if I find a good reference. Currently animating something pretty intense so gotta be after. Shoot me a reminder if I forget!

This mod is broken. So, no, It does not still work. The only compatibility problems are pack requirements (the spa day pack is required for this mod) and updates. The reason this mod doesn't work is because the creator (Mercuryfoam) hasn't updated it to the necessary game version (July 21, 2026) so, the mod isn't up to date with the current sims 4 game version. If this didn't help, or you have more questions just send a reply and I'll be sure to answer and help! P.S. Just to clarify, I didn't create Self-Manicure Mod (all credit goes to Mercuryfoam), I'm just a fellow player who can/wants to help out. (Posted August 4th, 2026)

Will this conflict with Nisa's WP? I believe that mod uses the same object (Ex-Ta-See Nail Polish) and you can "do your nails" to become a pheronomal flower.

Omg!!! I love how they sit on the floor and do this! Especially with the new campers pack coming, how cool it would be if sims could finally sit on the floor and chat and/or watch TV and/or cuddle. I'm honestly surprised that after 8 years sims STILL cannot sit on the floor properly or even pinic properly. Thanks for this! We are one step closer lol.

Hiya, the NotOverride version will not conflict with any mod. :)

Sims will do this autonomously without the nail polish in their inventory.

Thanks for the quick response. I only caught this while testing a new cafe from the Gallery. One of the active sims got up from the table, sat on the floor and did his nails. Sat back down and admired his work. 😏
