I have just express a interest in downloading CC again...
but I am SUPER annoyed with the ad.fly crap...sometimes it doesn't even go to the right page or take me to the download after I x out and redo it over 5 times sometimes.... >.< This site can't be safe....but it yells at me when I have my ad blocker on so...what the heck?
Most of the downloads I want are with ad.fly and no other option.

Also, someone posted a site you can use to bypass shady ad sites and take you directly to the file source, but I haven't tried it yet and don't remember what it's called. Maybe someone on here can post it again?
On EA forum Stories and Legacies board and on QueenOfMyshuno.tumblr.com
I used lana's CC finder which is basically a big tumblr with content.
Typically that’s a reasonable route to take, but you somehow must be choosing stuff from the few CC creators who only offer AdFly links. Usually, any decent creator will offer a non-AdFly link as an alternate.
I must be picking the ones with adfly only because I have had A TIME tonight....each other I had to click on 10 times almost till it FINALLY took me to the link.

OP, you should use Chrome browser and download a Chrome extension. The one I use is called “AdFly Killer” and makes it so when I click the AdFly link, the file immediately downloads so I don’t have to actually deal with that virus ridden mess.
It's also against EA's TOU to permanently put CC behind a paywall. If I were you, I would cease trying to download any cc that uses it. Lana hasn't updated in quite some time, and AdFly is becoming more and more frowned upon in the CC community. I rarely find new stuff using it nowadays.
If you find something behind AdFly that you really must have, definitely just use adfreereuploads on tumblr!
I just close the page when I see adfly. There is a Tumblr ran by someone that had a virus by them who now shares things behind adfly freely. I don't know if I can share the link though.
If you get stuck at an adfly screen or cant skip it you can right click on the window and (think its inspect source for chrome) and you should get a page with the html code on it.
Ctrl + F type in decode and you'll find the link you need to copy and paste to bypass to the download.
Ad-fly skipper and script safe are gonna be your allies in downloading links behind paywalls like that.
Luckily, a lot of CC creators seem to remove the adfly links now and as others have posted, it is actually against EA's Terms of service to put CC behind a paywall (because EA owns the game), but modding has always been a little of a grey area...
