Does CC automatically get added to my game if it's a part of a lot/sim I download?

face · August 2022

I am very fussy about managing my CC, and I have avoided downloading sims/lots that contain it for this exact reason.

I would prefer to just get everything that the base game and its official packs provide by themselves and nothing extra, but I'm guessing that any possible CC comes along? Is there any way of avoiding this, or separating the CC from the "skeleton", if that makes sense? Seeing what comes with and then removing it?

Thank you in advance!

Unfortunately, no. If they use the CC, it will be in the download. The only way around it I have found is to download the sim/lot, remove all of the CC and save the sim/lot without it, then uninstall the original CC plagued sim/lot and keep the cc free one instead.

You can use Custard to 'clean' the download before installing it into your game

Crinrict has a tutorial about using it (https://sims3.crinrict.com/en/2011/01/tutorial-delphys-custard.html)

Yep, it downloads the cc too.. Which is great sometimes, until you end up with toddlers spawning in thigh high boots

I downloaded a mansion for my family to live in and I got a ton of CC that I didn't individually download. Fortunately, I like the CC so it was a plus for me.

Haven't ended up with Sims with Centaur bodies or toddlers with spider limbs sticking out of their back yet.
