How to Install the Custom Content ( The Sims 4 )

 


HOW TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL CUSTOM CONTENT


Before downloading and installing the custom content (commonly called CC - Custom Content -) make sure you have checked "Enable custom content and mods" in the game Options, then click "Apply Changes" and exit the game.



Restart the game after installing the custom content.

 The Custom content for The Sims 4 has several file formats.
The file format of which I will explain the installation is called .package,
and it's the extension of custom clothing, hairs, accessories, make-up, skin details,  shoes and furniture.

The destination folder of all the Custom Content is called Mods,
you can find it following this path on your PC:

Documenti\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods.

If you have started the game at least once, inside the "Mods" folder you will find a file called Resource.cfgwhich is useful for reading custom content and therefore should not be removed at all.

At this point I suggest to create various subfolders, inside "Mods", in order to organize the custom content according to the type,
for example I have created several subfolders like this:


HOW TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL CUSTOM CONTENT WHEN THE MESH IS REQUIRED (Mesh required / Mesh needed)

When you want to download a retexture from my blog,
in addition you will always have to download the original mesh, otherwise the content will not be visible correctly in the game!

Click on DOWNLOAD next to "Mesh",
then go back to my blog
and click on DOWNLOAD next to "My Retexture".
Put the .package files you just downloaded into the Mods folder.

By downloading the various original meshes, you will come across files that have the extension .RAR or .ZIP.

The ZIP format (.rar.) is a compressed archive, containing one or more files that need to be extracted.
To do this, make sure you have 
WinRar installed on your PC.
Then drag the .package file (or files) into the "Modsfolder.




HOW TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL CUSTOM CONTENT
(New mesh by me)

 Download the custom content by clicking on DOWNLOAD.


You will land on the Simfileshare page,
then click on the blue "Download" button to download the file.

Drag the .package file you just downloaded into the "Mods" folder
(Documents \ Electronic Arts \ The Sims 4 \ Mods) or the appropriate subfolder.

HOW TO REMOVE THE INSTALLED CUSTOM CONTENT

Just delete the file you want to remove from the MODS folder.
To eliminate the remaining traces (the cache),
I recommend also deleting the localthumbcache.package file located in Documents \ Electronic Arts \ The Sims 4 \ Mods (it will be generated again every time the game is starting)
.
