Custom content - is it safe?

I've been looking online and lots of sim addicts have created their own custom content for other people to download and use themselves, this includes amazing hairstyles and facial features... Is this safe to add to your game? A website I looked at is simsresource.com I think it is! The content is so cool but I'm worried downloads that are officially created by the sims will effect my game play and eventually mess the whole thing up! Any advice?

    Keep in mind, some of those creators could be 13 year old kids or anyone who is just dabbling and doesn't have a clue.


    Yes, because 13 year olds can't possibly make good content.
  • The Sims Resource is safe. Try The Sims 4/3 blog. That is a nice website for safe cc too :)
  • The only cc I use is 18th century colonial America clothing. I've also grabbed some harvestable food we don't get in the game. I also have some 18th century wallpaper, and recently added a handmade rug and flooring (wooden, much like Puncheon flooring of that time). So far, so good.

    Somebody finally made the white linen cap I was so desperately searching for a few years back:

  • I love when threads from years ago pop-up! I'll answer this anyway lol

    It totally depends on where you download. I tend to stick to going to the actual creator's website (Tumblr, Patreon, etc.) and haven't run into any problems. Just be smart, have a decent anti-virus, and use adblocker for pesky pop-ups.
