Package files that you download go into the Documents-Electronic Arts -Sims 4 -mods folder

If the cc folder that you download is zipped, then right click on the zipped folder, and click “ extract” . This will extract the package file/files to its own unzipped folder. Open up that folder, and copy/paste the package file or files into the Documents-Electronic Arts -Sims 4 -mods folder.

If it is a rar file, you will need a zip program such a 7 zip to extract the package files

If it is a script mod you are downloading, it is best to read the installation guide on the mod’s download site page.
