on the sims resource i cant download anything it used to work but when i press download it says wait ten seconds but after that nothing happens i made a account to see if i needed one but it still did not work

Just checked it out and it works fine for me.

After that 10s wait there usually will be a site displayed with a banner "Thank you for downloading" and some more or less your choice matching downloads. More important a file selection box pops up, where you can choose the place where to save the download. At least, that's what happens in my browser (Firefox 58.0.2 atm). There is an option in FF (and in many other browsers like chrome too) where you can set a fixed download destination (e. g. your download folder) or alternativley that the browser asks every time where to save the file. If you have a fixed download destination the file is downloaded in the background without any further information.

So my recommendation would be to check your default download folder (in Windows the detault location is c:\users\\downloads) whether the file is already automatically downloaded. Or try the download with another browser.

So, basically... I downloaded CC from TSR (the sims resource) and I will be candour about this as it could be the issue, but I don't believe it to be. This is the first time I'm ever using or well, trying to us CC in my game. I have been simming for like 3 years now, but never once dabbled in CC until now.
So, I downloaded the CC from TSR like previously mentioned. All CC comes as zipped to me, no matter what I choose everything is zipped. I downloaded unzipping systems such as winRAR first, which I followed through tutorials but of course specifying to my computers specs where necessary, when that failed (again through following tutorials steps) I went on to forums where it seemed like people were having my same issues, they got the advice to try another unzip system, 7zip, so I downloaded that, which actually seemed a whole bunch easier to use, so again back to TSR picking all sorts of different stuff nearly each time, as I did try a couple of the same stuff again I previously tried with the other unzip system, 7zip failed me too. Always constantly the same message, over and over again, as seen in the photo (above/below, i don't know where it lands). I also tried making sure the CC/mod thing on the sims 4 game itself is ticked aswell, which is was.
Please, someone any help you can give me to get this sorted would be much appreciated. |: I don't know what to do anymore, I'm warn out trying and I'm so fed I can't get the cute hairstyles I desire.
Thanks in advance to those who comment something to try and help, anything at all at this stage is welcome.


ps, my computer is fully up to date aswell. I'm using a windows computer.

@sarah3487 Most of the CC on TSR is not zipped. The file names all should end in .package and just need to be placed directly in your mods folder to work. Zipped files end in .rar or .zip.

What do the files you are having problems with end with?

@sarah3487 also, is it possible that you have changed the file association? For example, did you ever try to open one of these files and have a box come up asking if you would always like to use "this program" (ie winrar or 7-zip) to open this file type? To which you said yes?

You may need to fix the file type so that it is showing correctly as a .package file again. Here are instructions on how to do that:

To double check if this is your issue you can download this piece of CC which is not zipped and is a .package file and then see what it shows as in your Downloads folder. If it IS a .package file, post back here and we will continue looking for solutions for you. If it is something else other than .package you can try the above solution.

Hello @LeiIrwin99
Where did you download the bedrooms from? Was it through the in game gallery, the website version of the gallery or from an external site?
Rooms are found in build mode, in the rooms section of the catalogue ,where the folder icon is located.

ur from a CC website of pinterest. thankyou i’ll try that now

When you download a room from Pinterest, TSR or another outside site you need to put all the files that end with .package into the Mods folder (it's okay if they come grouped in a folder already, just put that folder into the Mods folder.) Room file, MIDI Sequence, and TrayItem Files go into your tray folder.

hey so i really want to do a full house using CC but i’m not sure if there is a limit for CC or my macbook will crash a lot. basically just asking if it’s possible and safe?

There isn't a limit for CC. It's not unusual at all to do a house with nothing but CC. If you have questions about Mac Book performance you may want to ask them here:
