Maxis might pump out expansion after expansion, but it is nothing compared to the army of people putting their own creations into the venerable life sim and to sift through the staggering variety, we have the best Sims 4 CC and how to use custom content explained.<\/p>\n

Much like on TikTok, every conceivable niche has been filled by someone,<\/i> so no matter what it is you\u2019re after, you can almost guarantee that some kind soul out there has already created it.<\/p>\n

Best of all, a lot of Sims 4 CC is completely free, which is great for those who can\u2019t afford the likes of For Rent<\/a> or Horse Ranch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sims 4 CC shouldn\u2019t be confused with Sims 4 mods<\/a> which are a more unofficial way of changing the game. They also differ from Sims 4 cheats<\/a> which already exist within the game.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s plenty to get through, however, so read on!<\/p>\n

How to use The Sims 4 CC<\/b><\/h2>\n
To use custom content in the Sims 4, you need to follow the following steps:<\/p>\n
\n
Download your chosen CC and unzip the files.<\/li>\n
Take the .package files or uncompressed folder containing .package files and move them into the Sims 4 Mods folder<\/li>\n
This folder can be found here: Documents\/Electronic Arts\/The Sims 4\/Mods<\/b><\/li>\n
Upon launching The Sims 4, go into the options menu and make sure \u201cEnable Custom Content and Mods<\/b>\u201d is enabled under the \u201cOther\u201d tab.<\/li>\n
Restart The Sims 4 and look out for the \u201cMods\u201d pop-up shows up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
It\u2019s worth noting that anytime The Sims 4 receives an update, mods are disabled. To remedy this, just head to the Options menu once more and click on \u201cEnable Custom Content and Mods<\/b>\u201d again.<\/p>
Where to find Sims 4 CC?<\/b><\/h2>\n
There are a few websites to find custom content for The Sims 4 and for the most part, the same content can be found on each, but it is worth checking out the individual sites to make sure you haven\u2019t missed anything.<\/p>\n
The best Sims 4 CC websites in no particular order are the following:<\/p>\n
\n
The Sims Resource<\/a> \u2013 We recommend checking out the Featured Artists page to get started as it\u2019s easy to get lost here<\/li>\n
Maxis Match CC World<\/a> \u2013 All the CC featured here will be in line with Maxis\u2019 original artists\u2019 intent for a more unified custom experience<\/li>\n
CurseForge<\/a> \u2013 Maxis has officially partnered with CurseForge which means you can use their specific CurseForge app to download and install CC rather than doing it yourself.<\/li>\n<\/ul>
