Help with Custom Content
Here are some things to know about using Custom Content (or CC) and some tips on what to do when things either don’t work or break.
Get the Mesh
There are many pieces of CC that are “recolors” of objects from other creators. It’s common that mesh creators want the people (like me) that create recolors to not include the mesh and instead provide a link to download the mesh from the original creator. If you don’t download the mesh, you’ll have broken CC in your game!
Most of my created recolors are for clothing but there may be other types in the future. On each CC’s download post here on Simularity, you will find a box below the additional preview images that says “Mesh or Pack Required”. If a mesh is required, it will be listed and linked to in that box.
Broken or Missing CC
If you find you have some broken CC but don’t know how to fix or delete it, please see my other article How to Find Broken CC with Tray Importer.
If no CC is showing up in your game at all, it could be that you need to enable, or re-enable, custom content in your game. Here is how you do that: In the Sims 4, open Game Options then switch to the Other tab. Make sure “Enable Custom Content and Mods” is checked. If you haven’t or don’t do this, no mods or cc will load in your game.
