Downloading a sim

The easiest way is to re-save the sim to your library and look for the files in your tray folder with the same date and time that you saved it at.

On a side note, I should add that most CC creators would frown upon their items being reuploaded and shared that way.

Hello
The tray importer tool is very helpful in gathering the files of creations in your library.

As Cupid said though, cc creators prefer that you instead provide links to their download sites for simmers to download the cc themselves. It also helps simmers to know which sites the cc comes from as patches can break cc or there may be updated versions of the cc released.

Sorry for the late reply, busy week.
That's actually what I'm trying to do, I've gathered most of all the mods I collected into a folder mainly so I can figure out where they came from. Since many of them don't tell me whom made them by their icons I'm hunting down the creators by file names alone most of the time.
Thanks for that link though that would have helped me narrow down all the files faster if I had it sooner. Maybe next time.

My poorly worded question was really how do I find the files that make the sim itself, not the cc that he uses. Though that's moot now since that link also helps me find those files.

Now all that's left is to hunt down the cc creators and make a download link list in order to use him.

Thank you for your help.

You’re welcome :)

Nearly all cc creators don't allow their cc to be reuploaded, I would suggest simply providing links to your sim's custom content.
(edit) the files for your sim is in the Tray folder in the Sims 4.

@annabethc That is exactly what I'm trying to do. I just didn't state that clearly.

My problem now is hunting down all the sources of cc I used to make this sim because I haven't exactly paid attention to where I got them all, and he uses a lot of cc.

@someoneforgetable You probably figure this out at this point, but what I do is keep CC in subfolders named for the site where I got the cc. (with further subfolders for the type of cc for those few sites where I get a lot of cc). I also bookmark all cc sites if I download anything, and use the same name for the bookmark as what I named the folders.

Makes it very, very simple to track things down that way.
