Mods and CC are great to play with in order to make the game more suited to an individual, whereas a general company can't really do that as well as modders. A community of modders (like for Skyrim) can create some really nice stuff to play with, sometimes modders can produce quicker, depending on what they are trying to accomplish. A company shouldn't be ashamed that they can't create a game that's completely perfect for everyone. Overall, modders are great for fixing smaller bugs/issues and also for getting some nice stuff to add to a game. :D
Hey everyone, l'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but l'll tak my chances. Anyways, I have a serious issue. I play the Sims 4 on my MacBook Air, early 2015 version. l use cc and everything. However, when l downloaded the game and tried to play it on my dad's laptop (he has an HP), it wont start. I transferred the cc from the Mac to the HP (I NEED CC!) and the HP won't start. l want to know why. It can't be my cc because the game launches perfectly on my Mac, but when l launch it on the HP, l get the message that my cc files are corrupted. Any suggestions as to why this is?
@Bananas_45 Yes, the game works fine when l take out all my mods and cc. But as soon as l add something, even if it's just one hairstyle, my game wont open, saying the file(s) are corrupted. Like l said, it works perfectly fine on my Mac.

I love my CC and couldn't live without it EA just gives basic stuff so it is kinda of boring in general and that is what keeps Sims 4 alive for me new CC because there really isn't that much in Sims 4 that is interesting not like Sims 3 or 2. I have tried a few mods but I am careful what I pick I try not to put to many in the game but some of the mods are really good just as good as what the developers make only thing is it conflicts with the game sometimes. The CC objects are way better then what EA makes there is a lot of work and detail to them so much better then EA makes. The people should get paid.
After @rosemow helped me with my CC issue issue earlier this week, l can't see how some people can't play without it! I have over 1,000 cc objects and mods and l can't play without them. I had to use Maxis Match for 2 days while Ms. Rose was helping me and it was torture! Lol. I can never go back to the clay-texture hairs and clothes. I understand some people may like not using cc, but l'm not that kind of person. I NEED MY CC AND MODS!! :D

Mods such as MC Woohoo, Risky Woohoo, Road to Fame, Extreme Violence, Go to School, Go to College, Playable Careers, Self-Employed, Turbo Careers, as well as mods adding zodiac signs, gender preferences, more than 3 traits and favorite foods have added countless content and depth to what is still a game that is lacking content. Other mods have added new vacation destinations such Tropical Getaway, as well as supernaturals such as fairies, witches, sorcerers, mermaids, functional robots and most recently zombies.

Okay, I wasn't around for The Sims Online, and always wanted to play. Now, this seems really awesome! I hope it gets a public release.
Why exactly was this thread moved to General Mods Discussion? It was supposed to be feedback for the actual game, not just a chat about mods and CC. Which is why I put it under Feedback for the Sims 4
Dogs and Cats broke my game. I had to remove my mods folder and call Tech To Us to get it playable again, and I hadn't been able to get mods to work since. The last time I tried and failed, I just deleted the folder. I haven't had one until yesterday, when I figured out how to get them to work and decided to dip back in. I spent all day at TSR re-downloading all the stuff I used to love, plus. Then I couldn't get the 7z or rars to work. I messed up trying to figure it out, and copied a bunch of stuff to where it shouldn't be, and deleted stuff I thought was installed, but wasn't....so I scrapped everything but the zips, and downloaded it all again today...I haven't installed any of the re-downloaded stuff yet, but I got to thinking, these months I've spent with no cc, what I've enjoyed most was building, figuring out how to make stuff work, and sharing in the gallery. Now that my mods are back, my builds will be so much more fun, easier, and prettier.....but I can't share them like I'm used to, because not everyone has what I'm working with.
I use CC extensively in TS2, and have from the get-go so I can do medieval. That's possible as the game itself is mod/CC friendly. I'm staying away in TS4 as every time there's an update or new pack there is wholesale mod/CC slaughter, and I don't have the time or inclination to be constantly doing repairs. One would almost think they do it deliberately in the vain effort to discourage mods and CC
I actually agree. I very likely would not have been playing sims 4 for very long without the CC and Mods I've found. It's that lifeless otherwise imo. Sims 2 and Sims 3? I didn't feel I needed CC or Mods, but they did add some fun additions. But Sims 4 I really feel without mods, I would have gone back and played Sims 3 again and just ignored Sims 4. I still do play Sims 3, but I feel I just would have dropped 4 altogether.
Hey folks given this thread has been inactive for over a year I'm going to close it off. If you have any questions about necroposting you can read this thread here : Necroposting

and I'm still willing to download more mods! Mods make the game so much better in my opinion
