Custom content is a great way to get much more varied styles within the build and CAS (create a sim) mode. It’s also free and pretty easy to install, just follow the steps below: Portable internet explorer 7.
On A Mac:
If you play The Sims on a Mac (like me) you’ll need to find the folder ‘Mods’ which is inside ‘The Sims 4’ folder within ‘Electronic Arts’. For me it’s in my documents folder, but it depends where you installed the game.
For a Windows computer:
You’ll need to go into your documents folder (or where you installed the game) then find the folder labelled ‘Mods’ within ‘The Sims 4’ folder which will be inside a folder called ‘Electronic Arts’.
You should have now the folder ‘Mods’ in front of you, if you don’t have a folder called Mods then just create one within ‘The Sims 4’ folder and the game will know it’s a folder for custom content/mods.
Now for the fun part, find some content!I used google to search for content that I wanted, e.g. ‘female tattoo sims 4 custom content’. You can type in anything you like (within reason) and you should get some content. The best site I found for this was The Sims Resource, but it did have a few adverts on there so you might have to be patient once you find something you’d like to download.
Installing the custom content
Once you’ve found something cool and downloaded it, simply go to your downloads folder and copy/cut the item into the mods folder. Make sure if it’s a ‘zip’ file that you open the zip file first and then copy the contents into the mods folder. You can create folders within the mods folder to organise things if you like. Here’s an image of what mine looks like:

They are new images becauseperspectives are different, and the effective coverage goes about about 5kms more than it used to, so I can.almost. I live near Melbourne, Australia, and Ican't help noticing that instead of updating the satellite images of this area, they seem to have downgraded them. Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I read this one ages ago and it seemed the only appropriate one to post in.
When you’ve got some content you love, open your game. If you’re lucky then the game will open smoothly, if some of the content is damaged then you may get a warning message about a specific item. If you get a warning then just remove that item from the mods folder and relaunch the game.
Using the custom content in-game
To make sure custom content plays in the game you also need to turn custom content on during gameplay. You can do this by opening the game options tab, click ‘other’ and then make sure the button which says ‘enable custom content and mods’.
Now when you go into build/CAS mode you should see all your new content there! It’ll have a little spanner next to it so you can see it’s custom content.
Using custom content in the Sims 4 gallery
When viewing/uploading custom content to the gallery, make sure you click on the ‘advanced’ option on the left hand side and click ‘include custom content’ so that you can see what others are making with CC and so you can see your own custom content creations. I’d also suggest adding in the hashtag #cc when using custom content and crediting the creator.
I hope this was useful! If you need a more thorough description then view Carls Sims 4 Guide about CC.
