Solved: I recently got a new laptop and downloaded Windows 10 on it. I downloaded Sims 4, (I had played it before on other laptops) and I wanted to. Installing Mods and Custom Content (CC) Expand your Sims 4 Experience with Free Downloads Custom Content brings additional hair, objects, and other downloads to the game. Mods expand on the gameplay or alter it in some way. Note about Mod Help Do not bother asking us for help with mod/cc issues.

How To Download Custom Content
- Hello.
It is better to go to the individual sites to download the cc or mods. When at the sites, you can then read more information about the cc/mods and instructions that the cc Creator has written about how to install and use the cc/mods. The sites will give info on where /how to find the cc in the game. With mods, you will know what sites to go to for checking if there are updates of the mods after a game patch. By going to the cc sites and downloading the cc/mods yourself, you will know what you are installing in your game, and what files refer to what cc.

My Showcase thread https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/948861/rosemow-s-rooms-showcase - Right, okay So is file sharing Mods folders something that is possible but discouraged?1
- edited March 2016It should technically work fine, with the benefit that the Resource.cfg will have already been made to suit the folder structure. However if it also contains mods that change the game behaviour, then you need to know what they are and how to check when they need updating. At the end of the day you bought the game to have fun with and if you'd find it more fun and less hassle to use someone else's mods folder then go for it.
- Yes, this does work. I gave my friend all of my CC awhile back. Just make a note that some mods or CC might work for them but not you and vice versa.'Parenting is just like gardening, except if you let your garden die you don't go to prison.' - Anna Blast
- edited April 2016You theoretically could do this but many creators have 'no reuploading' in their terms of use and uploading their creations as part of a mods folder would therefore be breaking their ToUCurrent Story: Perplexities in Pleasantview

Twitter: @Pegasus143143 - I don't think I'm eligible to post links, but if you search up AuroraSims on YouTube she has a video labeled 'My Mods Folders [Sims 3 & 4]' in which she has both her Sims 3 and 4 Mods folders to download in the description.
As the others previously said, it isn't always convenient downloading other's Mods folders and it could cause problems. Be sure to check & see if your mods are up to date! I am downloading now as I type.
Hope this helps! :)

my simblr:follow me! - ^ Edit: There are many other videos I have found as well. You will need Winrar or 7zip in order to extract these files and make them viewable in-game. Most of the video makers will update the links on the video or create a whole new one so you don't have to worry about updating your cc. :)

my simblr:follow me! - does anyone have any sims mods or cc they can send me
- MOst creators have a no re-download tos but I believe Dima Honey has a mods folder up for download you can find it on their youtube :)
- sure, you can get mine. i just have to find a way for others to download it, just a warning though, its about 11-12 GB. i`ll edit this comment when i find a way and link it!
- i dont see why not... even script mods would not have problems... off course you need ALL the dependencies so you need the entire mod folder, also keep an eye for double scripted mods, those can be problematic
Where To Put Sims 4 Custom Content
So I wanted to do a post about some safe custom content web sites. Since people are always looking for them. If you have a website that is safe and has quality CC then post the link and I'll put in here!
