How do you dowload cc (hair,clothing, ect) in The Sims 3?
Hi fellow simmers, so I am really desperate for some CC in my Sims 3 game, but I don't know how to install it. Can anyone help?

Crinrict has written a helpful guide (yet another one) to installing custom content here:

One thing to note is that many sims3packs come with hidden cc items, some of which can be harmful to your game. Players can examine packs with Custard to identify extra files attached to sims, houses, or worlds. Custard won't find everything, though, and you may not want to learn how to use it right now, so the easiest way to protect your game is to install any new pack into a clean folder first to check it out.
Pull your existing TS3 folder out of Documents and onto your desktop and launch the game again, and a new folder will spawn. You can follow crinrict's guide to installing the pack into your clean folder and then scroll through the "installed content" tab in the launcher; look for any extra files besides the one(s) you intended to install. If you see any extra files, there are ways to clean the pack, but you might just want to skip that step for now. It's better to find out about bad cc before it infects your game.
Edit: Or you can do what @igazor says. But still, it's best to be careful when dealing with sims3packs from creators whose work you're not familiar with to trust.
