Since TS4 I have been watching loads of speed builds and CAS Challenges on YouTube (which 80% of the time) include CC but this is a whole new world to me..(even though I've been a simmer for a while now) so I was hoping on a quick run down on how to start? I'm only really interested in the CAS CC - outfits, hair, accessories etc. And all I know (which is extremely limited) is needing meshes (but don't actually know what this means?)
So someone to help a very beginner would be amazing, I know this can be annoying and I can probably find some YouTube videos that go step by step but the pausing and resuming can make me lose track.
Thank you (in advance) to the poor soul that tries to help me learn this new realm - I greatly appreciate each and every comment/view this gets ^^

- you need WINRAR (free to download) to unzip merged files. If you download individual files you don’t need to unzip them and can place them directly in your mods folder.
- Lilsimsie has some great stuff on her maxis match tumbler page.
- Once you download, you can place the files from your download folder directly into your mods folder.
- Then you’re done!
For more detailed instructions.
This is going to make me sound so thick, can you go step by step?
so first I need to download this WINRAR
then I find whichever CC it is from (like you say tumblr)
then I have to move it to a mods folder? - then I drag it to the folder you mentioned? and it's automatically in my game?
thank you for the link as well ^^

Scroll down to where it says download in pink. It will automatically download to your “downloads” folder in your documents. From there you drag it into your mods folder. If you change your mind and want to delete it, you just drag it out and place in your trash or just delete it. It’s so simple!
So if I'm only downloading hair items and things for CAS? I do or don't need WINRAR?

https://madmonodls.tumblr.com ( I like the ultra violet skin) default only means every sim will have the skin. Non default means you can place the skin on sims (it’s in the freckle section).

Recolours means more colours for the hair in addition to the ones it currently has. You can have recolours & the originals at the same time. For CC recolours you need the original (the one with the mesh) as well as the recolours in order for the recolours to work.
sorry! again I'm learning all this new from scratch

1. The creator has just recoloured something that is in one the DLC packs, i.e. it's an EA item to begin with. In that case, you already have the 'mesh' ingame so don't need to download anything other than the cc. For example, this creator here has just recoloured an EA hair, so you would download just this file and you're good to go: http://noodlescc.tumblr.com/post/170588366044/february-6th-update-hair-recolor-we-got-a-new-hair
2. The creator has made a brand-new piece of cc, creating their own 'mesh'. In that case, when you download that item of cc, the file will already include the mesh so no need to download anything extra. For example, this creator here has created a new piece of cc, mesh included, so you'd be good to go: https://www.patreon.com/posts/hani-hairs-18023149
3. The creator has recoloured a piece of cc made by somebody else. In 90% of cases like this, in order for the cc to actually be usable in your game you will need to download the recolour PLUS the original mesh by the person who first made the cc. Often, you'll find a link to this original mesh along with the recolour. For example, this creator has recoloured a piece of cc made by somebody else so you'd need the new cc and its original mesh: i.e. here for the new cc: https://auntiegame.tumblr.com/post/172347488945/hannah-hair-recolored-in-the-witching-hour
And here for the original cc, i.e. the 'mesh': https://simblob.weebly.com/hannah.html
So in cases like this, you'll be downloading two files.
Does that make sense?
Hello @Abbiejabs
Make sure that you have the latest updated version of the Harry Potter mod as the Cats and Dogs patch broke it. This is the link to the updated version

also I want Frozen and horror things as well.
I think, speaking from someone whose mod and CC experiment went horribly wrong, the best thing to do would be to add them to your game slowly. In a folder called "testing" or something like that.
My advice would be to download a mod, test it in your game, see if it is affecting it in any adverse way. If it's fine, then shut down the game and look at adding the next mod to the testing folder.
If you download all those mods and dump them in your game, and something goes horribly wrong, it's going to take a long time to figure out which mod is crashing your game.
