How to properly install MC Command Center?

rshell193

Sorry if this is in the wrong area. I tried my best to put it somewhere proper XD anyways I really want to download mc command center but I have no clue how to install it because I don't know if some are like script or regular package files. I saw the pictures on modthesims and I got so confused. Can someone please help me out?

I don't think it would be very smart to download it if your don't understand, you could mess up your game.

What do you mean? I know with script mods, you keep them in the zipped folder and with cc and certain mods you put the package files in the mods folder. I just never understood how to put mc command center in the game. I dint know where certain downloads go where.

Here's a picture of MC 2.14.0 installed, it's from my thread. Take a look, and then if you have more questions, you'll be in the right place.

MC won't mess up your game. Here's a link to another post in my thread, from Deaderpool, addressing that:

Come talk to us. Installing is NOT hard. Download the allmodules zip file. Create a /MC folder in /Sims4/Mods. Open the download. COPY all the .package and .ts4script files over to the /MC folder.

Start your game. Make sure both Mods boxes on the last tab of Game Options are checked (green). Open a live lot. Use a computer to find the MC UI menus, the game settings are there.

For more, come to my help thread.

All of MC goes into the same folder. It won't work if you separate the files into nested folders, or by package/script, or any other way than to drop it all into its own first-level (/Mods/MC... what WON'T work: /Mods/scripts/mc). folder. Script files need to be placed either directly in /Mods, or no farther than one folder below /Mods. Package (like cc) files are different, they can go up to 5 folder levels deep.

Forgot to include that^^... sorry!

Also, I have more general info... if you look inside a zip file and you see .ts4script files and/or .package files, those are to be copied into your /Mods folder(s). If you open any kind of a script file and see .py or .py* files, do NOT unzip it any farther than the original zip file, put THAT in your Mods folder instead.

Some older files may still be compiled in zip format, and maybe not everybody modding made the switch, I don't know.

A lot of creators (including Deaderpool) switched from zips to ts4script format, when EA added it to help Mac users who couldn't install zips, because they were being auto-extracted.

A nice bonus that came out of the new format is, we know if it's a ts4script file, you copy it into /Mods. No unzipping or extracting needed.

Hope this helps.

@egwarhammer and @rosemow thank you this helps a lot

Hello
Egwarhammer is very helpful. I hope that you enjoy using the mod in your game.

egwarhammer

Thanks, guys! Waking up to posts that make me smile is a very cool thing.

@rshell193 how's it going? I have a few days off starting tomorrow, I'll be around more this week coming.

Come to the help thread if you need anything, or just want to weigh in on MC.

Edit: I *did* write this post. I lost it somehow, probably in the "not yet awake but upright" fuzz. I wanted to also mention a post in my thread right before Deaderpool's, from @Bonxie , that really does a nice job of explaining why MC (mods in general) is safe. If you follow his link, scroll up. Great read!

Cool, come to my thread when you do, pages 88-89 I started going through some of the UI menu stuff. There's a lot of new-player info that's just been posted, over the last couple of days, too. Walking somebody else through. Jump in!

I'm confused. Do you extract mc command center out of it's zip file? I've had to do that for most of the other mods I have downloaded but I'm not sure if you have to do that for mc command, do you leave it as it is, or extract the files inside of it????

Yes, you extract it from the zip folder. Then you can place the McCmdCenter_AllModules_4_4_5 folder directly into your Mods folder and you are all set.
