The Sims 4 but make it fashion
Listen, we’re not having a pop at the base game version ofThe Sims 4, but you have to admit that it doesn’t offer everything you might want. It would be impossible for it to service every whim and desire you asked of it for! But still, sometimes you’ll be fooling around in build and buy mode, or Create A Sim, and just wish that you had more space gubbins to wear or cool plants for your kitchen. Or bunk beds! Lord almighty, if only there were bunkbeds.
Well, it just so happens that there are, if you know where to look. And that place is ‘at custom content’. There are some amazing creators out there making simply fabulous cc sets to make every Sims game your best version of it. And cc is all free! How amazing is that? That’s why we’ve rounded up all our favourite cc sets in one place, for ease of use to you the reader. Read on for more.
First of all, though, if you don’t know how to download cc and slap it into your Sims game - welcome! You’re really going to enjoy it. And secondly, you should check out this video on theRock Paper Shotgun YouTube channelthat tells you exactly how it’s done. It’s only five minutes long, will teach youhow to install mods and custom content, and also clue you in on the exact difference between cc and mods.

You should also know that wheneverThe Sims 4gets a patch (usually at the same time as a new EA approved DLC is implemented), that update can ‘break’ cc so they don’t work as well as they used to. Maybe your Sim will no longer sleep in the top bunk of your cc bunk beds, that kind of thing. If that happens, you should check the mod page onThe SimsResource or any social media pages the creator has - they’ll usually be aware or let you know if they’re working on an update.
Best Sims 4 CC
For this list (taken from the cc recommended inthis videoandthis videoon our YouTube) we’ve provided descriptions of what each bit of cc offers, but if you’re not fussy and you’d prefer to skip straight to the downloads, we’ve got a list of links on the final page.

It’s a shame that Harry Potter doesn’t exist in the Sims world, despite the Realm Of Magic game pack. But maybe you should introduce your sim to Henry, because the collection in this cc is remarkable. And the best bit about this pack is that even if you’re not into all the wizardy bits, there are some swatches for both the Create A Sim and build and buy modes that are lovely even if you’re not a Potterhead. The beds with separate duvet sets and frames are some of the best you’ll find anywhere. There are even sets of readable books, and with all the soft furnishing clutter and chairs, this is probably he cosiest Stuff Pack you’ll ever lay eyes on. If youarea Potter fan, you’ve got everything you need to make a Potter themed bedroom. You can even take a test on the Pufferhead website to find out which Harnocks house you’re in: Alpaggard, Leetlefloof, Ivybell or Owlenmoon.

This pack comes with a whole lot, from an actual campus building (which is a massive 64 x 64 squares), to varsity jackets, re-creation of some old Sims 2 buy mode items, and even some university-esque pose packs. The campus itself is amazing, with a canteen, dorm rooms, a library, lecture rooms, the Dean’s office, and so much more. The dorm rooms are usable to a degree - it’s a library lot so obviously it’s not an actual residential lot, but you could easily get a group of teen Sims practically living here, as they’d have everything they’d ever need. A top tip would be to give this lot the trait “teens hangout,” but it’s been created using absolutely no custom content, and is available to download through the gallery if you didn’t want everything else with it.
We recommend downloading the whole thing for the best University experience, but do bear in mind that the University lot is absolutely bloody massive and may struggle to run on lower-end PCs.

Only the first of a few Plumbob Tea Society packs we’re going to recommend, this is a really really cute bit of cc, and it’s all Maxis match. It adds loads of new clothing for all ages, and tons of new build and buy objects. It was actually released on Valentine’s Day back in 2018 (get in the bin, time) and it’s pretty wedding-y. But even if you don’t tend to bother with the whole wedding thing in the Sims, everything here is really lovely and can work as part of a beautiful garden setting or a general party, with 70 items to choose from in total.

Cottage Garden Stuff was a collaboration between 15 creators, and the results are fantastic. There are loads of new Create A Sim items: hair, clothes, accessories, shoes, and headwear for all ages and genders. But the buy mode is the bit that’s absolutely overflowing. This pack would really complement a lot of the stuff from Rustic Romance, and there’s even a few build mode items too. We absolutely adore the wall spigot sink and the wall mounted post box. This pack is a must if you like rustic builds, and could make some absolutely beautiful off the grid houses.

Ever wish you could make Spock in The Sims? Plumbob Tea Society’s Stellar stuff Pack is here to enhance all of your out of this world Sims lives. It comes with an absolutely whopping 127 items, including both new hair meshes and a few “oil slicked” re-colours of pre-existing EA hair meshes, new clothes (even including some kids' clothing), and loads of new jewellery pieces - including a mood ring septum piercing that changes colours.
And that’s just in Create A Sim. There’s so much other stuff in here that you can actually build a whole spaceship home if you wanted, and why wouldn’t you to be honest? That includes a whole residential lot, the Moon Laboratory, with everything you’d want from a top secret but not very subtle science lab. It definitely puts the StrangerVille lab to shame.

If your sim is a creature of habit, or likes having things matchy-matchy then Contemporary Living Stuff goes hand in hand with the previous Minimalist bedroom stuff pack. They match so well, you would probably be a fool to not download both of them together - unless you hate giving your Sims living rooms, in which case you’re a monster. What we’re trying to say is, these two packs have matching swatches, and you could create a really lovely open plan studio with both of them. Contemporary living includes over 20 new objects, 4 new doors, and a wall recolour, and like the previous pack, includes 8 Maxis match wooden swatches.

We’re also recommending a bunch of sets from another fan favourite - Peacemaker. Their style is a bit more alpha in look than Maxis match, but their cc is still absolutely gorgeous and can fit in with a lot of build styles. First on the list is the Serenity Bathroom, which is so good that it’ll give you inspiration for remodelling your real life bathroom. This is a full bathroom set, with 29 meshes and up to 40 different swatches and tones for nearly every item. Peacemaker ain’t playing about with this bathroom. And that walk in shower! so cute!

Were here at RPS love a good window seat, and you know what the Sims is lacking? Good window seats. Thankfully we have custom content creators like Peacemaker to help create them, and other integrated furniture - like a cabinet for your TV with three different styles and options. This pack has 12 new meshes, with 24 to 35 swatches for each. Grab a good book, recline in your window seat, and look at all the clutter on your TV unit. What more could you want?

The overall look of this pack is great, and it’s clear Peacemaker has really looked into what kind of things people were filling their houses with in the mid-century. It’s a bit futuristic-y, at a time when technology was advancing and art deco was becoming a thing of the past. The pack nails that mid-century feel. This pack has 40 meshes, with between 8 and 50 swatches for each object. It’s so good to see a new style of furniture in the game, andalways feel like when The Sims teams try to go for this kind of era, they always fall short.

There will be those among you who don’t like kids in the Simsorreal life, and those who absolutely love them in both. But whichever you are, you have to admit that kids get the short straws when it comes to interesting Sims things - and this Stuff Pack is just the cutest. It has child and toddler beds, loads of separate bed frame and bedding options, and most importantly… the colours are nice. There are 30 new meshes, and all have between 4 and 44 swatches. A must for sprucing up your kid and toddler rooms.

The final selection from Peacemaker is this lovely office set, which has a new desktop, laptop, easel, and other office-y things, like a desk and bookcase. It’s really important to make your home office a happy and nice space in real life, and the same goes for your Sims! Gotta keep the little pixel pals happy. While there are only 10 items in this pack, they’re all really great, and could even work as furniture in other rooms. Plus, they look really nice partnered up with other Peacemaker bits and bobs, too.

Halloween might be a fair way off, depending on when you read this, but it’s always good to be prepared for spookems. This is not just a Stuff Pack, it’s a whole new lot and Stuff pack in one. It even has it’s own story lore. The town this pack adds has a tavern, a potion shop, a book shop, a stable, a town hall, a witches tower, a market place, and two homes. There’s also a huge catacomb underneath. Murder basement anyone? You can find the lot in the gallery under a few different hashtags or SimDoughnut’s username, or via the instructions through the link below. But the stuff pack includes 82 different objects. Including build and buy objects like doors, wallpapers, fireplaces, and also decorations like paintings, potions, and other bits of clutter.
