Mods question

I am wondering and became more curious recently about MCCC most of all. Sometimes my game seems boring to me (especially if I DON'T have much option but play Sims 4 or go insane doing nothing) and therefore would like to know how to make my game more interesting. If that makes sense...

Hello.
These links explain about cc and mods

MC Command Center mod is a very helpful mod to use, It is safe to use, and the mod creator continually updates it. He is very thoughtful and quickly updates it after game patches, if the patch causes it to become broken.
It can be downloaded at

There is information about the mod in this link

This link thread provides help for the MC Command Center Mod. If you decide to use it and you have questions about the settings, you can post about it there, and there are helpful simmers there that will help you.

After game patches are released, it is best to go back to the sites where you downloaded the mods, and check to see if there are updated versions of the mods released. Cc/mods sometimes get broken by patches. There is often a thread in the cc/mods section of the forums that lists broken and updated mods

It may help to have a look at the threads in the cc/mods section of the forums and see the sites/mods/cc that fellow simmers use.

Make sure that you have a antivirus and firewall program installed when visiting cc/mods sites. Don’t click on pop up ads. Scan cc/mod files with your security program, before installing the files.

Thank you so much. :) I'll go and try downloading the MCCC since most seem to use it and has more options. This was a reason I wanted to ask here which are good cause I am very paranoid about most mod sites for Sims 4. One of the reasons I have never used CC or Mods before...

The sites I use personally for CC and Mods is The Sims Resource and Mod the Sims, I mostly use TSR for CC and MTS for Script Mods.
It's always good to check comments and make sure there is a lot of downloads on the item from a trusted site.
When I download my CC from TSR I only download off 'Select' or 'Featured' creators, which have stars next to their username and they are safe

I hope you can find what your looking for and that you don't run into any problems. I haven't run into any since I only use those sites (apart from deaderpool for MCCC, that one is safe)

If you would like to know anything else I'm happy to help out, I hope you have a great day :)

Hey
I actually create cc and use tons of mods so I'll just tell you some points.
- Script mods are risky so make sure you read comments and reviews before installing.
- Keep mods in separate folders to make it easier to find anything specific.
- Mods and CC can cause lag usually I notice effects when my mod folder reaches 3gb but it doesn't cause huge lag for me.
- Make sure you always read creator notes as they often tell you if it needs specific installation or if it conflicts with other mods.
- Big game updates can often cause issues to CC. The most recent case was the pets update so I recommend only installing content that was either patched or created after that update.

My go-to-sites for mods is Mod The Sims and coolspear1's mods hosted on Sims Asylum; need to register to download but his stuff is really good, particularly his suite of mods for the Scientist career. I'd recommend them to any one wanting to play that career. He also took over mods from Madame Butterfly when she retired and is keeping many of those updated.

MCCC is complex but if you check in with the help thread here they can walk you through most of the settings and what they do.

MTS have a lot of the standard tuning type mods that I like to help with my gameplay, and get a lot of comments regarding whether to mod is still working after an update so you can pull that mod out if people report major issues after a patch.

I've never had an issue with The Sims Resource or Mod The Sims. If a mod just didn't work in my game, I remove it and there are no long lasting issues.

I see... thanks everyone. :)

The MCCC has SO MANY settings I dunno what is what so will have to look up what they mean and do more.

I appreciate the tips and replies. I am a total newbie with what Mods do and such so this is very helpful.

Just play around with it, that's how I'm learning. :) If you set something you don't like, you can always turn that aspect off again.

I may have to. Just some titles (like Dresser) has me lost what settings it handles.
