Help understanding terminology

CC = Custom Content.

MOO = Move Objects On/Off (I think).

Welcome here :)

CC = Custom Content. It's the player-made addons like clothes, hairs, furniture, and knick-knacks that you can add to your game from non-EA sites

Simmer = a Sims player

mod = a player-made addon that is more than an object. Some are UI (user interface) changes, or gameplay changes, etc.

MOO = Move Objects On. That's a Maxis-made "cheat".

Guru or SimGuru = an EA-Maxis employee who has an additional role as a public face in the community. Sometimes people use the word to mean any Sims developer

MCCC = MC Command Center. It's a player-made suite of mods that's widely used to add story progression and tweak lots of aspects of gameplay.

SP = Story Progression. It's a mainly Sims 3 feature that has the nonplayed Sims getting married, moving, having babies, etc. In Sims 4 it's mostly just nonplayed Sims getting (or losing) career assignments, and aging depending on your own settings.

Thank you. I was wondering about “clipping” too but then I found a post about it, and it seems to be things interacting inside each other, like the many times I’ve watched my sims walk through walls or get stuck inside each other. I know there are other terms, I just can’t remember them now, so I’ll add as I come across them. Thanks again, @luthienrising and @SimQueenie9.

NPC = non playable character, correct?

Correct.

Sometimes people use NPC to mean "nonplayed character", too - the ones you *could* choose to play but don't.

Weird, I don't think I've ever seen it used like that...

Unless you’re me :D and you like to edit the NPCs and/or pair them up with your own sims.

Ha! I'm totally you, then. I am the Goddess of My Own Story Progression.

Here’s something else I’m curious about, @luthienrising. Terms like “legacy sims.” I see that a lot.
