Hey guys, so I was looking for some CC and I found pretty cool clothes and furniture, I really wanted to download it, perhaps I heard that if you have CC and then you update your game, it will crash and the game will be be ruined. Is it true? If it is, is there any way I can download the CC but when it's time to update, you could just remove it? I'm kinda worried because I know that in the sims 4 you put CC differently, unlikely the sims 3. Thanks :)

If the CC is (shall we say ruined) causing the game to crash after an update, it is all on the CC creator, not the patch.
It is possible to remove custom content before updating and you can re-add it again when you finish updating.
It is completely optional for custom content to be removed before updating your game.
> Whether you remove CC before a patch or not, the CC might still be incompatible with the update and cause crashes. It's not so much where the CC is when you patch as it is that it conflicts with changes in the coding.
Thanks, but how do you remove it just like that?
Just pull the file back out of the Mods folder.

Ok thank you :)
I always leave mine in when there's an update and rarely have had problems. Some of the mods I do check on to see if they have been updated after a patch and then I do update. Once in a while if there is a problem I'll just take the mod in question out.
I've never really had issues with custom content. I also think it's highly unlikely that some mod or custom content will completely hose your save for good even after you take it out. You've got more chance of the game itself doing that from bugs (like what happened to myself and some others, including some who never used any mods or cc, with the bloated save issue).
Most sites will tell you to remove mods when updating but a lot of that is more of a CYA thing than anything because they don't want to be responsible if something does go wrong.
I guess when it comes down to it just do what you feel comfortable with and if you are really worried about it then move the mod folder elsewhere and then try putting them back in one by one or tracking down the author and see if they've announced whether it's okay with the update. I don't do all that though and the majority of the time I don't have problems and when I do they are easily resolved.
It seems like people are quick to blame custom content and mods when someone has a problem but as I mentioned earlier there definitely are problems with the game that have nothing to do with them.
Custom content and mods for The Sims franchise has been around for long time and are one of the things that keeps the game interesting for me. I'm not afraid of them and in fact I very much look forward to them and am thankful to have them.

Yes- I usually put the mods folder on my desktop, and when I want to put them back in I just put it back where I took it out from.
