Re: what do i do if i download custom content and its a folder, not a single file

@anitastef You can just drop the folder into the Mods folder and it'll work fine. If the folder contains ts4script files then you can't place the folder inside another folder. If the folder just contains .package files then it doesn't matter.

If it's just CC, you can place them pretty much anywhere in the Mods folder. If it's a mod, then I'd probably prefer to use the original folder.

Just remember, ts4script files can't be more than 1 folder deep.

I 100% agree with @Psychotps
Another good practice is to always check for any description notes provided by the creator of any mods or CC you have downloaded. They will often provide any important info you need to know, i.e. How it works, what it does, how to use it, how to download it, where to find it in the game, whether it requires a mesh or a certain pack, whether it conflicts with another mod, etc.
If you are new to Mods and CC, or just need a refresher, please check the link below for more info on how to maintain Mods and CC.

They can be a lot of fun to use but they do require some special precautions that might save you from a lot of headaches later. ;-D
