How to Download & Install The Sims 4 Mods & CC

Browse the 2TUN CC Content Lab and find content you'd like to download. Click the Download Free button on the listing page.

• • The download opens an external file host (e.g. MediaFire, Dropbox, Google Drive) in a new tab.
• • 2TUN does not host most files, you are leaving 2TUN to download from the creator's chosen host.
• • Always download from the link provided on the listing page. Do not trust re-uploaded or re-shared files from other sources.
• • If a link is broken or the file seems suspicious, use the Report button on the listing.

Many Sims 4 CC files are distributed as .zip or .rar archives. You need to extract them before installing.

• • Windows: Right-click the ZIP file and select "Extract All..." or use a free tool like 7-Zip.
• • macOS: Double-click the ZIP file to extract it automatically.
• • After extraction, look for .package files or .ts4script files inside.
• • Some downloads include multiple folders (e.g. separate packages for different colour options). Choose the ones you want.

Custom content and mods must be placed in the Sims 4 Mods folder:

• • If the Mods folder doesn't exist, launch the game once to create it, then close the game.
• • You can create subfolders inside the Mods folder to organise your content (e.g. Mods/Hair, Mods/Build).
• • The game reads up to 5 levels of subfolders deep by default.

After placing files in the Mods folder, you need to enable them in the game:

1. 1. Launch The Sims 4.
2. 2. Open Game Options (click the three dots menu in the top-right corner).
3. 3. Go to the Other tab.
4. 4. Check "Enable Custom Content and Mods".
5. 5. Check "Script Mods Allowed" (only needed if you have script mods).
6. 6. Click Apply Changes.

After enabling mods and CC, restart the game for all changes to take effect. The game scans the Mods folder on launch.

If you add new content while the game is running, save and quit, then relaunch to load the new files.

After restarting the game, verify your content is working correctly:

• • Launch The Sims 4 and start a new or existing save.
• • Check that custom content appears in Build/Buy mode or Create-a-Sim. Hair, clothing and furniture should be visible in their respective catalogs.
• • If you installed script mods, test the specific interactions or features the mod adds to confirm they work.
• • Look for the custom content indicator (a small wrench icon) on items in Build/Buy mode, this confirms CC is loaded.
• • If content is missing, double-check that files were extracted (not left as .zip) and placed in the correct Mods folder, not the game installation directory.
• • Review any special installation instructions from the creator on the listing page, some content has specific folder or file requirements.

• Content not showing up? Make sure you enabled CC in Game Options → Other. Restart the game.
• Script mod not working? Confirm "Script Mods Allowed" is checked. Script mods must be no more than one folder level deep in the Mods folder.
• Game crashing after installing mods? Remove recently added mods one by one to identify the problematic file. Outdated mods can cause crashes after game updates.
• CC showing as a question mark or missing texture? The CC may require a specific game pack or expansion you don't own. Check the listing's compatibility notes.
• Mods disabled after a game update? Game updates sometimes reset mod settings. Re-enable CC and script mods in Game Options after updating.

• • Check the listing's Compatibility field for the required game version or pack.
• • Some mods require other mods to work (dependencies). Read the listing description carefully.
• • After a Sims 4 game update, some mods may stop working until the creator updates them. Check back on the listing page for updates.
• • 2TUN displays Windows and macOS compatibility badges only when the creator has confirmed them, don't assume compatibility if the badges aren't shown.

• • Only download from the links provided on 2TUN listing pages or from the creator's official sources.
• • Scan downloaded files with antivirus software if available.
• • Be cautious of executable files (.exe, .app), Sims 4 CC should be .package, .ts4script, or archive files (.zip, .rar).
• • 2TUN validates download links against an approved host list, but does not scan files for malware. Report suspicious content using the Report button.
• • Back up your Mods folder before making large changes, so you can revert if something breaks.
• • For official EA guidance on mods and custom content, visit the EA Help portal. EA's official guidance takes precedence over general community advice.

Creators can help you install their content correctly by including clear information on their listing page. When creating or editing a listing, creators should provide:

• • Installation instructions, step-by-step guidance for their specific content.
• • File type, whether the download contains .package files, .ts4script files, or other formats.
• • Game-version compatibility, the Sims 4 version or game pack the content was built and tested with.
• • Dependencies, any other mods or packs required for the content to work.
• • Special requirements, folder-depth limits, load order, or known conflicts.
• • Known limitations, features that may not work as expected or are still in development.

As a downloader, always read the listing's description before installing. If a creator hasn't included enough information, use the Report button to request clearer instructions.
