Unlock the Secrets of Modding in The Sims 4

The steps to download and install Mods and CC (Custom Content) in The Sims 4 are quite straightforward. Readers, explore further in the article by Mytour.

1. Understanding Mods and Custom Content in The Sims 4

In essence, the terms Mod and Custom Content (CC) in The Sims 4 represent entirely distinct concepts.

Mod (also known as a script mod) is an abbreviation for modification, signifying alteration or change. This allows players to modify or add additional functionalities to the game.

Custom Content (or CC) consists of in-game items, such as furniture, character hairstyles, etc., that players can use when designing Sims or homes.

2. How to Download and Install Mods, CC in The Sims 4

Download The Sims 4 from this link.

To transfer all mods and Custom Content to a specific folder, first open the Run window by pressing Windows + R and enter the following command:

\Users\%username%\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4

Here you'll find a folder named Mods. If the folder is not visible, you can create a new one by right-clicking on any blank space, selecting New =>Folder.

Next, unzip the file you just downloaded and move it into the Mods folder.

Note that some files with extensions .blueprint, .bpi and .trayitem cannot be moved to the Mods folder. Instead, move these files to the Tray folder within the same The Sims 4 directory.

An exception applies to numerous households. These files, with extensions like .blueprint, .bpi, and .trayitem, nestle within the Mods folder. Instead, navigate to the top-level The Sims 4 directory and place them in the Tray folder.

To uninstall everything, simply close the game window and delete the relevant files.

3. Activate Mods and CC in The Sims 4

To activate mods and CC in The Sims 4, follow the steps below:

Start by launching the game and setting up mods on your device.

Next, locate and click the menu button (three dots arranged horizontally) in the top-right corner of the screen. Then, select Game Options => Other.

Checkmark the options Enable Custom Content and Mods and Script Mods Allowed.

Finally, click Apply Changes and restart the game to save the changes.

From now on, every time you launch the game, a Mods window will appear, listing the activated mods. If you prefer not to display the window, simply uncheck the option Show At Startup.

4. Update Mods and CC in The Sims 4

By default, Mods and CC will be disabled after updating The Sims 4 versions to avoid compatibility issues with the latest game version. Follow the steps above to re-enable Mods and CC.

Additionally, Mods and CC in The Sims 4 do not update automatically. In case a mod is faulty or broken, visit the website where you downloaded the mod to check for any new versions and download them. If available, simply download and replace the original files. If not, delete the files and update to the latest game version.
