Now that you’ve dabbled a little bit in custom content for The Sims 4, you must be wondering why we turned on script mods. You can enable this filter on all screens, even in Build/Buy! If you’re having trouble finding the custom content you’ve downloaded, click the small arrow next to “Feminine,” click content, and check the box next to “Custom Content” so that the hair section shows only custom content you’ve downloaded.
Once you’re in the “Create a Household” screen, click over to the “Hair” section. The screenshot above includes the file names of the downloaded content linked earlier in this post for this how-to guide. If you launch the game and decide you don’t like what you’ve downloaded, it’s easy to navigate to the new folder and figure out which file to delete. We suggest you store newly downloaded CC in a folder labeled “new mods” for organizational purposes.

Also, by putting newly downloaded mods in a separate folder, you can launch the game and decide whether or not you like the new mods you’ve downloaded. Keeping your folders organized can help you single out corrupted files that cause issues in your game. CC that appears in the “Create a Household” screen (clothes, hair, accessories, etc.) will be stored in the “CAS” folder, Build/Buy CC should go in the “Build Buy Mods” folder, and so on. In the Mods folder, create a Mods Tutorial (any name will suffice) subfolder and move all of the “.package” files from the downloads folder into the Mods Tutorial folder. Locate the downloaded files on your computer and then move the files manually to The Sims 4 Mods folder.

You’ll see that all of these mod pages say “base game compatible” in the description: You’ll come across a huge selection of CC that’s compatible with the base game (no packs required), however, plenty of available mods will require a pack for one reason or another (like a re-texture of a base game item).įor the sake of this tutorial, I chose a few base game compatible mods that are linked below. When clicking around and downloading mods, it’s very important to read the fine print. We recommend using File Explorer’s built-in search box to help you locate the folder. You can usually find this in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods, but you might have installed it in another location. Navigate to it and locate the Mods folder.

This mostly goes for people who don’t have folders within the Mods folder yet or have made folders, but there’s nothing in them. If you’d like to add more, just follow the same pattern. There should be six by default, as shown here. The number of asterisks equals the number of folders deep. This shows how many folders deep the system will check for mods/CC.
