If you plan on using script mods you will also want to click the box below to enable script mods. You also need to enable custom content and mods, you can do this by opening the settings menu and going to game options then clicking enable custom content and mods. Package files simply need to be moved from the folder they download to the mods folder. From there you can simply highlight all the files and move them to the mods folder or you can extract them into the mods folder. Installing them is the same either way if you have a zipped folder open it using the windows unzipping tool or a 3rd party tool, such as 7zip to open the folder.

However, when downloading items to create a sim I often find myself downloading single package files. I personally prefer to download my content in sets rather than as single items, as I’m less likely to use just a single item and more likely to decorate using a set of objects. 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. 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.
