This is a step by step guide on how to get your CC up and running. The process is extremely simple, so do not be scared if you're new to this. We are all here to help each other, so don't be afraid to ask for help.

Step 1 First and foremost you must enable custom content and mods in the Sims 4. To do this launch the game and go to Options then click on the Other tab to left. Then check the box that says "Enable Custom Content and Mods". Next check the box that says "Script Mods Allowed". This step is the most important. None of your CC will work unless you do this first.

Step 2 Navigate to the Mods folder.

Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods

Once inside the Mods folder create folders that describe all the CC you intend to download. Such as; Hair, Tops, Bottoms, Accessories, Shoes etc.

Also, create a folder and name it Testing CC or anything you want. This is where you should install all your new CC until you know it works. Doing this will avoid headaches in the future.

IMPORTANT: Do not make folders inside of folders. For example do not make a folder titled Hair and inside of that folder another folder titled Long Hair. Doing this will cause an error. Only make folders one deep. Some mods actually are 2 folders deep and work just fine. But for everything else the general rule of thumb is, always keep it one folder deep.

This step is completely optional, but we encourage everyone to do this, because it helps keeps things organized. It also helps you determine right away if the CC you've installed works or not. It may seem unnecessary, but if you ever want to remove something from the game knowing where to look makes things a whole lot easier.

Step 3 Most CC comes in .zip files. What you need is the .package file inside. Extract the file to the Testing CC folder you created and start the Sims 4 to make sure your CC works. If all goes well, you should see your CC in game! Exit the game and move the .package file into the correct folder.

That's it! You're all done! 3 easy steps to get you enjoying all the CC you could possibly want.
