Are CC/Mods Safe???

OMGiLoveIceCream

I want to get CC + Mods, I really do, but I want to know if the websites are safe.
If they are, please give me links to good CC/Mods websites.

If you are looking for Mods and some CC here is a good place to start http://modthesims.info/browse.php?gs=4
You need to be a member but it's free and totally safe, what types of Mods are you looking for?

OMGiLoveIceCream

Uhh I want hair. Are their websites where I could download a bundle of hair??

Jagwithtude

Here is a great link for hair and other CAS CC http://sssvitlans.tumblr.com/hair

OMGiLoveIceCream

Thanks!

Jagwithtude

you are welcome

OMGiLoveIceCream

Wait, do you have to download each hair style individually on that website? Or can you just download it all at once?

Jagwithtude

I am afraid you will have to download any CC that you find anywhere individually, unless the creator has made a merged package, not too many do that though.

OMGiLoveIceCream

Okay, thanks.

Jagwithtude

Again you are welcome

thesimsresource.com also has a ton of hair and clothes!

If you're new to downloading cc/mods, here's a tip, check file dates, and COMMENTS (usually most updated info), to make sure they're still working or have been updated for post Dine-Out use (at least).

That patch broke a lot of older cc, but it was in June, so most things needing updates probably have been by now. Just wanted to put the bug in your ear to do a little research. Less problems later.

BTW, S4S creator studios have some NICE cc... and check out this WCIF thread here on these forums:

Bananas_45 is amazing at finding stuff for people. This whole thread is FULL of "themed" posts from her.

One more thing, if you download any cc lights and see "script call failed" errors when you try to use them... S4S has issued a Batch Fix for that, too. Very helpful site for anything cc related.

@egwarhammer Thankyou! x x

I'd like to let you know they are completely safe as long as you download from the right people! ModTheSims and TheSimsResource are awesome! If you're looking for some hairs and other fashion and other related stuff these are great people to check out!

Kiara has some great hairs!
LumiaLoverSims has some great hairs and clothes. Along with mods.
Madlen has some AWESOME shoes!
NightCrawler has some killer hairs
Simista has a great range of different objects!
Natali has some amazing accesories!
S-Club does GREAT nails and makeup
JS has a lot of pretty fashion materials!

I've personally used all these and no trouble has been caused for me! I hope you have fun and make sure you only carry as much as your game can handle. I had personally over 2000 pieces but since I use a small computer I had to cut down!

Have fun using me and if you need any help, PM or there are a lot of 'Where can I find...' threads and other places where people will be sure to help you!

@Bananas_45 thank you! Have a nice day.

If the mods you download (usually in a rar/zip) has only the .package file, maybe a jpg preview and a readme text, then you are safe.

Come up in my tumblr bby ~ XD. I'll take care of you! I got quality CC =D (i think)

Custom content is usually safe, though I did have a problem once with a piece of custom content that changed the descriptions of all my refrigerators in my catalog to Swedish. Through trial and error I narrowed it down and removed the offending content. Problem solved. Before that, I had a hair custom content that was crashing my CAS: again, through trial and error, I narrowed it down and removed it, which fixed the problem. Considering I currently have about 2.5 Gigs of custom content and mods in my Mods folder, and have only had a problem with 2 files since September 2014, the chances of your getting custom content that is broken is pretty low. A word of warning though: A recent patch broke custom content lighting, so if you get custom content lighting produced before July 2016, you will need Sims 4 studio's batch fix to fix the problem with those files that made them suddenly not work. Another thing to watch out for, is that if Sims 3 files or Sims 2 package files are installed in the Mods folder, they can keep the game from running. So make sure the custom content you install is for Sims 4.

Mods, on the other hand, can keep the entire game from loading, not just affect a part of the game. So I only installed a few mods in my game, and remove all the mods and add them back carefully one at a time after a patch or a new EP. With mods, which change the functionality of the game, especially script mods, the player needs to keep track of where they got the mod from so that they can check for updates to the mod. I only get my mods from Zerbu, the Sims Resource, and Mod the Sims.

Tumblr is a great place to get some amazing custom content. Just search "Sims 4 cc" in the search bar. Another really good site is The Sims 4 Blog

Cococonure

I got a virus from modthesims... thesimsresource is perfect for cc, and its easy to download cc, and there are no ads trying to trick you into downloading a virus. plus, tsr has so much cc and i get all my cc from there. check out nightcrawler, pinkzombiecupcake, leahlillith, and devirose. they are featured artists or select artists.
