I am wanting to get some cc for my sims 4. I’m looking into pet items and perhaps some decor and hair... I just have no clue where to start or how to download it and what is safe to download and what isn’t.... help would be great! Lol thanks in advance and links would be helpful.

The guide is a little old so it is missing a step. You will need to go into the game to enable CC. To do this click on the three dots in the top right-hand corner of the main menu. This will open the Options Menu. Click on Game Options, Other, and then tick the box next to Enable Custom Content and Mods. If you are going to be playing with Mods you will also need to tick the box to Enable Script Mods. To save these changes you will need to exit the game. It is important to note that you will need to repeat these steps after every game patch as Maxis will disable all CC and Mods.
A great place to start for CC is Lana's CC Finds. They are a huge archive of CC sites and have everything cataloged in an easy to use format. They also add new content every day. http://sssvitlans.tumblr.com/sims4cc
There are also helpful threads here in the forum!

Most CC is safe to download if you have antivirus software. There are a few creators who put their CC behind adware like Adfly and Shorte.st, be careful to close all pop-up ads and never click on bait traps saying that you need software or that Microsoft needs to be contacted. These are scams that may contain viruses. Just click the X in the top right corner to get out of them. To use Adfly and Shorte.st wait for the 5 seconds on the countdown in the right hand corner then click on Skip This Ad. The download page should then be generated.
The Sims Resource is a massive archive of Maxis CC and they never use Adfly or Shorte.st:

Hello @Mama7Reno
Your mods won’t transfer through Origin onto the new computer, nor will your save games, items in your library or your screenhots.
This explains how to transfer your items onto a new computer. I wrote it on another thread
Your sims 4 game is linked to your origin account. When you get your new computer, download and install Origin onto it. Then log into origin on your new computer using the same account that you used to register the game and packs on the old computer , then click on the Games Library section, click on the sims 4 picture, then download/install it there. Then click the extra content and packs buttons that are half way down the page. They will shows you what game packs, stuff packs and eps you own. You can then download/install them there.
Make a copy of your sims 4 folder on your old computer that is in Documents > Electronic Arts > ( then The Sims 4 folder is there ) and place it on an external drive.
Then after installing the sims 4 game onto the new computer, play it once to generate a new sims 4 folder.
In your sims 4 folder are your saves folder ( contains your save games) and the tray folder ( which contains your lots and households that you have uploaded to your library or have downloaded from the community gallery ) Replace the saves, tray, mods, custom music and screenshots folders that are in the new sims 4 folder with the same folders that are in the sims 4 folder on your external drive. You will then have your old save games and creations etc on your new computer
Your sister would also need to be logged into your origin account when playing, and accounts are meant not to be shared, unless you all live in the same home and it is a family of simmers.

I prefer 7-Zip, it opens all compressed files including Winrar. https://www.7-zip.org/ Just right click on the file and choose 7-Zip then extract here. I usually extract to my downloads folder then move the files to my Mods folder so I can sort the CC.
Files ending with .package do not need to be opened they can go directly into your Mods folder. Only files ending in .rar or .zip need to be extracted.
As far as sites for finding cc, both thesimsresource.com and modthesims.info (where you can find the formerly mentioned Mod Manager) are still good places to start looking, along with the other suggestions here. A lot of times if you find a particular cc-creator whose work you like on larger resource sites you can google their username to find them on tumblr, wordpress, etc., where you can see more of what they have to offer. Tumblr itself is a pretty big go-to area for cc creators, so you may even try just searching for a few keywords there and see what you can find going down the rabbit-hole (same with Pinterest).
Hello @SDBee1
When you next load the game, a new resource.cfg file will be generated.

There are many other sites. Some CC creators have great CC but they use Adfly. However, some of them give you the option of joining their Patreon page. If you like their CC that much then you can if you want to, support them on Patreon. Some people like me have a few Creators I really love and use that option to support my favourite creators but that is a choice some of us make. Don't feel pressured going onto a site and feeling that the CC creator is forcing you into that option over using Adfly.

Lol, these are just a small sampler. Avoid adfly links. While this site monetizes cc for creators, which they deserve, it’s a high possibility you can pick up a virus or malware. If you really love a creator and want to support them most have a Patreon, PayPal, or other donation link you can use. Once you make a Tumblr account, if you don’t already have one, and start to follow some Maxis match blogs Tumblr will start recommending more and more Maxis match blogs. You can also search in the search bar on Tumblr using hashtags like ts4mm mm mmcc and maxismatch.
