How to download and install

Clothing, objects, script modifications, etc.

This extra content comes in .package files . Therefore, you must first install software that allows you to extract these compressed files, such as Winrar or 7-Zip . The next step is to choose the packages you want to install and download them from a trusted site. Then, with the files already downloaded and the extraction software installed, you must right-click and select “extract files” from the packages. Choose the " Mods " folder in "Documents \ Electronic Arts \ The Sims 4 \ Mods" . It is also important to check if this folder has the Resource.cfg file included. If not, you will need to download from one of the sites that contains custom content. This is the file that will make the game recognize the extra content, so it is essential.

If the downloaded files are already unzipped, you do not need to extract them, just copy normally to the "Mods" folder. Be sure to check that in Game Options , by selecting Other , the Enable Custom Contents and Modifications box is enabled. Also, enable Display at Startup , within the Display Custom Contents option , to display the list of files installed on the screen. Now just open the game and if the process has gone well, a list of installed files will appear on the screen.

Sims and Lots

Batch and Sim installation files are a bit more complex. When downloading any custom Batch or Sim, use the appropriate software ( Winrar or 7-Zip) to extract all files in the " Documents \ Electronic Arts \ The Sims 4 \ Tray " folder . The " Tray " folder houses all custom content in the gallery. Lots may come with the extension .trayitem , .blueprint and bpi . For custom Sims, they will have .trayitem , .hhi , .sgi , and .householdbinary files . Now just open the game gallery and all custom Lots and Sims will be available. Also check out the best mods for The Sims 4 !
