Favorite CC Creators

I'm so proud of myself today. I didn't check for new CC. It's so addictive and I have limited space on my laptop. Actually, I decided to take my CC folder out and really narrow down to just some favourite creators and content. Now all my Sims are bald and shoeless, because I went CC hair and shoe crazy. So, I think going forward, I will only put CC on my Sims if I am playing them, and then put them back in Maxis stuff before I switch. Because I made over so many townies and now I have lot of work to do, putting Maxis hair and shoes back on all of them. It would be nice if they reacted to being shoeless in winter though and hopped around a bit on the snow...

I have done this exact same thing, soooooo many times!

Now I only put CC on the sim I'm playing and then I open Sims 4 Tray importer to find the exact CC that is on that specific sim and place it in a folder with my sims's name, something like "Adria's CAS CC". Then when I know I'm going to be playing that sim, I just put that folder back into my mods folder.

I also only make over the townies with EA stuff, never CC for this very reason. I keep the CC wrench icon on my CC so when I'm doing any type of makeover, I can easily tell exactly what is CC and avoid it.

I'm enamoured with HappyLifeSims cc, often tagged ''. Some of the most excellent period coats and hats.

He is my favorite creator too, along with linzu and theJim, last one made historical furnitures, statues and pictures, he can be found on modthesims.

It's wise following some rules, or your cc folder will explode :) I have way too many cc items that I thought was a good idea to grab, but that I never really used. So with a certain lag, I decided to only download cc that will be used in minimum 5 households. If the file is big I also try to remove most swatches (in S4S, it's quite easy to do). Also, make sure to rename files that include special characters like []()'& and space. Such file names (at least used to) slow down your game. So many creators start the file name with "[" probably to list higher when sorted alphabetically. Ad so many use space in their file names when "-" would work better with the game.

In TS3 I had a household (the Detesters) working as test sims. Their job was to test all CC before it got installed, and also to find already installed CC that was no longer needed because EA added something similar with a later pack. How many bowls of fruit do we need ;)

@Chicklet453681 That is a great idea. I've been trying to decide how to sort it. At first I had it sorted by clothing type, but then I switched to sort it by creator. Maybe it is easier to sort it by Sim who is wearing it.

@Simmerville Thank you. I wasn't sure if I could safely rename the files. Some of them don't include the creator's name, so I wanted to add it, but I wasn't sure if it would mess up the file and create bugs or anything.

You can safely rename files in TS4.
The only thing that might Happen is that you still have the old file installed when there's an update, so I wouldn't recommend renaming mods.
