@@wickkddI love when people actually answer a question and share knowledge instead of just telling the person to figure it out because “it’s obvious”. Love your response!! You explained it perfectly.
Peacemaker is a must for build mode CC. They have CC packs that fill in the missing pieces for in game stuff, like extra windows and doors for Strangerville or a loveseat and chair to match the sofa in Crystal Creation. Doors to match the greenhouse windows in life and death, etc.
OMG!!! I did this as well on the day you downloaded your video!!! I've removed everything - from trays to mods to cc - and now I'm taking my time to find the things I truly like and absolutely need.
I actually find downloading CC so relaxing. I go into a zone of just click this, click that, click this and repeat. I also try to keep my CC folder clean (ish?), but it kinda sucks when something is broken and the icon in CAS for said broken thing doesn’t have the creator’s name on it.. So I end up just leaving the broken thing in my game lol.
I know people have issues with who owns curse forge, I think? But honestly, once you use curse forge, you can't go back. It makes downloading CC a breeze, updating them a breeze. I truly love it!
I actually had issues with more complicated script mods like Better Build Buy. It wasn’t working properly when I downloaded it from Curseforge. So these mods I actually download manually - as well as the ones that aren’t findable on Curseforge like all the Wicked Whims stuff 😄
This!! Its the biggest issue I have, I got to update my cc so that I can play my save without loosing anything... just to get distracted by new things from my fave modders so I create a new save to play with all the new stuff 😂😂😂
It's daunting yes but a bit of advice watch other sìmmers organizing their mods folders for inspiration then note down the creators names anywhere on your device so you know who to search for . Also label folders
I recently did this as well, after having a 125GB CC folder wherein about 100GB of that was one of those "MY SIMS 4 CC MEGA FOLDER DONWLOAD" (Please, do NOT download these.. They're quite literally full of old, outdated, buggy clothing and objects and it WILL eventually break your game). I made a folder and a ton of sub folders, all organized etc but I've already lost interest.. I don't even know if I can stomach playing Sims 4 again; something inside me misses it.
I spend no less than a 1.5 weeks whenever I start from scratch. Find, download, organize, re-tag (SO MANY DON'T TAG THEM PROPERLY), and then verify they're decent. It's pretty much any hobby convention is actually "Line-con". The pain ain't worth the investment, but we somehow love it 😋
I HATE doing this but I am doing it right now for a university playthrough and I need space LOL. You should have gotten the ENTIRE BIG download of the Aharris clothing mods to see it all. They work so well.
Satch thanks for your video! I honestly think you are the reason I still play this buggy game. It all started when I clicked on one of your Wicked Whims Videos… and now my mod folder contains multiple gb of mods and CC 😅 I’d love it if you explored more of the mods that require WW to run? I don’t think you can show a lot on TH-cam visually - but maybe recommend some that you think are worth downloading. I think this would help a lot of people, because this is when I constantly feel overwhelmed. They aren’t always cross-compatible and I can’t tell you how many hours I already invested in fixing my game 🙈
Ah00b slaps so dang hard i couldn't live without their cas stuff. Sentate is also amazing but some stuff does look more alpha than i prefer, and that's fine, since EA has alpha textures now lmao
I have such similar cc taste as you the only major difference being that I love the cropped mens stuff! I miss when croped men's shirts were in back in the 80s/early 90s and want so badly for them to cycle back into style
12:21 PSA from a Mod Tooling Creator: `.package` files cannot be in excess of *five* folders deep. `.ts4script` files cannot be in excess of *one* folder deep. If you're worried about things like files not being in the right place in your Mods folder, I'm sorry if I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but get PlumbBuddy. It will catch that stuff for you.
after the dx11 update i deleted every single thing from my mods folder and 1) good god does the sims suck without cc and mods 2) im very excited to redownload everything, ive waited such a long time that everything should be updated
4:30 he's literally me 😢 HE'S LITERALLY ME FRFR 😭 Also something I would kill for a modder to make is a mod that shows the name of the mod on either build mode or in CAS, like on the top of it so you can note which is which without having to open and close the game trying to guess from what mod it is
i reorganized my entire cc folder that had probably 10k cc and mods and i had them organized by the creators name like “[Unify] CC SIMS4” and it was so much easier to find broken mods and alot more conveinient in deleting ones you dont like in my opinion and cutting cc that was only one item. and the cc i downloaded that had no creator names i would put them in a “no name cc” folder
I love this shirt that you have on Satch! The colour looks so good on you 🩷 I hope that your January is going well and that it gets better and better!!
I gave up on using CC because I kinda fell out of love spending more hours shopping around the internet for it, than using it. I just want mods to enhance GAMEPLAY instead. Plug in and play kinda thing. I always always always play with Wonderful Whims, Meaningful Stories, Smarter Self-Care and some Lumpinous mods (Mood Pack, First Impressions, Road to Romance) - if anyone has any maxismatch/vanilla+ mods I'm all ears.
Little Miss Sam mods always help with gameplay , also Simrealist mods like bank mod . And all of Kiara Sims mods for more careers and holiday traditions
If you want to change things in the game without resorting to overloading your brain with a ton of cheat lines to remember, you should definitely get UI Extension and the MC Command Center. UI Extension allows you to use useful cheats like "ResetSim" with just a shift-click away. MC Command Center even has the ability to change aspects in the game, like how fast time progresses, or how fast you gain skills, and the maximum age count for any age stage.
I miss my CC so much. I had to delete all my CC content recently. I downloaded the Cosy Gamer Kit a few days ago, and before that, I never had any issues with my game. But ever since I downloaded this kit, my game has been constantly crashing or not working at all, so I had to delete all the CC to get it working again :((
Alpha has always been way better than Maxis. I think ppl gravitate toward Maxis cc because nostalgia and its simple to use. Alpha requires more smarts and intellect to put something nice together
the fact you only like sets is so odd to me cause i love clicking on all the little download butons cause i feel like i am getting more stuff an it feels like shopping lol
I always say id rather pay £30 for just one massive maxis match CC folder download than for a pack that EA came out with... im too lazy to do single downloads x
I'm surprised you didn't go with MCCC though that's more of a mod rather than CC. And did you know that Aharris00britney works for EA now? They gave up doing mods and CC to work directly for EA. smh
I want to do this, but even with my hundreds of sims bookmarks saved i know ill never be able to find everything. I mean my mods folder is almost 34gb lol. Him saying he doesnt like much women cc hair meanwhile me thats all i use because compared to cc eas female hairs are not good at all.
"I don't like realistic Sims in my Sims. I like them all to look like pron stars." THANK YOU! Me, too!!!
Same 🥲 There’s so much good slutty CC LOL
i am the complete opposite haha, i love making all sorts of weird and 'ugly' characters. i think it's fun you can do both in this game.
The 'no more than one folders deep' thing only applies to script mods. Regular CC can be up to 5 folders deep!
whats the difference from a script mod from a regular cc mod?
@@bonbonvegabon the file ends with .ts4script instead of .package
I didnt know this! Thank you ^^
@@wickkddI love when people actually answer a question and share knowledge instead of just telling the person to figure it out because “it’s obvious”. Love your response!! You explained it perfectly.
I used to think you couldn't have any folders at all. 🤦🏾♀️
If I were to delete my CC folder, my entire game would cease to exist 🤣
Peacemaker is a must for build mode CC. They have CC packs that fill in the missing pieces for in game stuff, like extra windows and doors for Strangerville or a loveseat and chair to match the sofa in Crystal Creation. Doors to match the greenhouse windows in life and death, etc.
HeyBrine is also amazing for bb cc. i love finding good cc
Harry and Felix omg love and peacemaker I also love mysunshuno
@@Muted--x--you Absolutely everything by Hey Harry and Felix go in my game as soon as they are public.
I have 8000 CC files in my folder, years of disorganisation & broken mods. I cannot imagine this level of virtual neatness 😭
Like, NONE are in consistent folders or sorted or anything. I don’t know the names of any of the creators. It’s a whole mess
Oh my god my amount of CC and mods really are in rookie numbers 😭
@ Dw bb i’ve had the same mods folder for like 7 years, it’s a lot of time to hoard 😭
Why are you doing that to your PC? :( I can understand unorganized CC - you be you. But broken mods?
@ How am I supposed to find which ones are broken
Thank you for including the names of the creators at the bottom of the screen!
I did that 3 days ago, and have been having cc shopping therapy every day, my game is running like butter. ❤
OMG!!! I did this as well on the day you downloaded your video!!! I've removed everything - from trays to mods to cc - and now I'm taking my time to find the things I truly like and absolutely need.
Sims 4 Mod Manager is a must have! Helps you organize, label your folders, alerts you to dupes, conflicts and bad cc.
Oh youre gonna have me CC shopping Satch 😂
I went CC shopping as I watched the video lol.
I actually find downloading CC so relaxing. I go into a zone of just click this, click that, click this and repeat.
I also try to keep my CC folder clean (ish?), but it kinda sucks when something is broken and the icon in CAS for said broken thing doesn’t have the creator’s name on it.. So I end up just leaving the broken thing in my game lol.
Sims 4 Tray Importer solved this issue for me entirely. Would recommend!
I do this when im frustrated with the game lagging all the time . Honestly just using curse forge to download what i want is a gem
I know people have issues with who owns curse forge, I think? But honestly, once you use curse forge, you can't go back. It makes downloading CC a breeze, updating them a breeze. I truly love it!
@@Christine-49 yes a breeze but i do understand thee problems ppl can have with the app , if you do not update it when it is recommended .

@@intercultural_booknerd4151 I do the same thing. The larger mods I download manually as well as Wicked Whims. LOL
Yeeees! Satch checked out my favorite CC creator, Cream Latte Dream! I love not just their CC, but I also think their sims are beyond adorable!
and i didn't even know i could color coordinate my folders!!!!! i love that now i can have my folders a little more organized within all the chaos
Wow, I've never been this early!! It seems like my insomnia did something good lol
😭🙏
im the same with the excessive amount of versions for each piece like one is more than enough thank you
Ugh I miss CC shopping ): my notebook needed a refresh and I still do not have it back unfortunately. These videos keep me alive literally
I would do this but I’d probably just start redownloading half the stuff I deleted 😭
right
This!! Its the biggest issue I have, I got to update my cc so that I can play my save without loosing anything... just to get distracted by new things from my fave modders so I create a new save to play with all the new stuff 😂😂😂
the love and deepspace pose pack.... i see u
I should also clean my mod folder but I get so overwhelmed
It's daunting yes but a bit of advice watch other sìmmers organizing their mods folders for inspiration then note down the creators names anywhere on your device so you know who to search for . Also label folders
@@smileylala4842 thank you for the advice! I will totally do that, watching others clean their folders makes me want to do it as well
I have done this like 5 times last year and now i'm starting again... with reorganizing
and this is why I looove the ts4mm bc they all have picture of the cc, and it makes it so so easy to delete stuff
The anxiety that sweptovermejust reading the title 😵💫
I did this exact same thing since I had no idea what stuff was making my game perform poorly.
It's very nice to start fresh.

SATCH UR THE BEST SIMS TH-camRRR
i just frantically did this last night for the same reason omg tysm for posting this
I love Sentate's clothes!
making a mini modball for myself only and bookmarking every known script mod to have issues with updates saved my life.
I love Sentate!!! Sometimes, I wish I was a Sim so I can wear Sentate's creations!
0:24 is usually how I am until I get tired downloading one by one 😭
I’ve uninstalled most of my packs and am exclusively playing with cc and honestly it’s great
This is the right time I was just abt to add cc
Finally early to a Satch video!! (It's 1:30am in Aus rn helpp)
Its 12:19pm here in Toronto Canada its sunny and blue skies and cold as hell at -26 C lol
Omg putting this on as I'm doing the exact same! 😊
Omg I love your content. It's so refreshing. You're not another simmer that's kissing EA a*s. Love this and love your humor! ❤
I did that too, I'm now cc free and mod free, I'll be downloading only the things I truly like
I HATE doing this but I am doing it right now for a university playthrough and I need space LOL. You should have gotten the ENTIRE BIG download of the Aharris clothing mods to see it all. They work so well.
even though I have all sims hairs from packs I still have huge female hair cc category lmaoo

1) good god does the sims suck without cc and mods

I also delete hair accessory & overlay. I might like them, but heck as I'm ever bothering with all that 🤭
Yep. So annoying

Before body hairs where made part of the base game, the only way to get body hairs was to fake them using tattoos. So, some older CC.
i love it i love it i lovee it!
This video made me want to restart my mods folder
And this makes me want to download cc again. 😂
i reorganized my entire cc folder that had probably 10k cc and mods and i had them organized by the creators name like “[Unify] CC SIMS4” and it was so much easier to find broken mods and alot more conveinient in deleting ones you dont like in my opinion and cutting cc that was only one item. and the cc i downloaded that had no creator names i would put them in a “no name cc” folder

Mod the Sims download manager. Works with curse forge.
I need a playlist of all ur cc videos pls 🙏 thank u
I think i will have to do that
I accidentally deleted my mod folder the other day and almost cried. Thankfully I had a backup but it was old. 😢
