Most custom content will either come as in a zipped folder or as a single package file.

When downloading a mod or custom content all of the files associated with it, such as the package file and potential script file for mods will go into the mods folder. That folder is called mods and it is typically found within your documents folder, under electronic arts/The Sims 4 as shown in the screenshot below. When it comes to installing mods and custom content there is only one folder that you need to worry about. Installing mods and custom content has changed over time, with some methods being a nightmare and others like the method for Sims 4 being simple and much easier. This article will focus on how custom content works, some of the best custom content sites, and the must-haves for your game. There are thousands of custom content files out there for players to download and use. Some items can be used to create a story within the game and make it more authentic, while others are simply for fun. These objects and mods can be used to spice up the game, create a certain look, or just get a change from the same old CAS and buy mode items. Mods change an aspect of the game in some way, instead of just adding an object to the game. These objects can then be used in-game, additionally, in Sim 4 players can install mods. So what exactly is custom content and why should we use it? Well, custom content is in general objects, such as, clothing, furniture, and other in-game items that are created by a 3rd party, usually referred to a modder and installed by you the player. There are multiple types of custom content and how it is installed and packaged has changed with each game. Over the years this has continued to be a major part of the Sims games and the community of fans. When the Sims franchise originally released 20 years ago, one of the hallmarks of the game was installing custom content or objects and items that aren’t originally part of the game.
