I'm literally starting over from scratch, gotta download all my mods and ccs again so this will be helpful, thanks. Wish me luck I literally deleted 5k things smh
same, it happend to me yesterday because I accidently copied every single file like 3 times in one of the female cc folders so i had over idk 4k files and i just ended up deleting everything
same here, I was sat debating whether to do it or not then was gonna chicken out, but ended up accidentally deleting it all anyway. Call it fate I suppose lmao
I sort my CC by Creator, mostly because when I find a creator I like a lot, I go on a full-on binge, grabbing everything in sight. I have to say, I've not thought of the "new" folder for new stuff, so I'll be adding one of those in both my BB and CAS folders. I really love the numbering system you have for the actual mods. I'm no where near the scale you are in the amount I have installed, but I've only been playing a few weeks now, so I'm sure that's subject to change, and I will be implementing the numbered system when I feel it's too much to handle as it is now. Thank you very much for this useful information.
I have even more folders in sub categories, also put a lot of the same create in a folder and that helps to. Love organizing my sims folders and going through them in sims 4 studio. Sometimes think i enjoy it more than playing the game lol.
I looked up how to organize your mods folder sims 4 you were like the 1st video I was like 'they look promising' and guess what, YOU ARE thank you so much I was wondering if putting cc in different folders while it's in the mods folder is okay but this video gave me the energy to organize my folder lol ❤ *subscribes right away*
it’s confusing bcause one person will say DONT put them in separate folders, and then I’ll watch another video where the simmer will have them all organized. I’m going to try to re organize again and see how that goes. My sims are walking checkerboards about now lol
I know this video is old but THANK YOU for the mod spreadsheet idea. I am like you and have a ridiculous amount of mods to make this ish playable. Lol. But I have lost track of how many times I have just decided to delete them all and start over because there’s a huge update and I can’t remember all of them. Especially little bug fixes or behavior twerks like little miss sam does a lot of. I NEED those mods but I am overwhelmed when it’s time to update them. This way I will have a thing in plain text and search for it directly if it needs to be updated. Thank youuuu
The only thing I don't like, is that you don't have your CC folders in one folder together. This has helped SO much after an update! I can easily grab ALL my CC, in one folder (since you can put CC up to 4 subfolders deep) - and I can easily determine if its a Mod or CC that is causing the problem in game. Really saves a ton of time when my game is acting up.
@@ilovepaco9014 - I narrow it down by folders and groups. So- I have a folder that is called " CAS CC" ... it then has folders inside it sorted by type for all my CAS CC, so folders that say, "Shoes, Hair, Makeup, T-E Clothing, Skin, Eyes, etc etc" Then I have a folder titled, "Non-Script Mods" and I have a folder titled, "Furniture CC" The first thing I do when my game misbehaves, is I see if its ALL Lots, or just that one. IF its just that lot, its more than likely corrupt CC. So then, I remove my Mods and Non Script Mod folder. Delete the localthumbcache package, and start the game. IF the problem remains, I know its my CC. (either the furniture or the CAS) I exit, and test the game with each one. Whichever one the error shows up in, I take half the folders out, leave half in, then test. By process of elimination, I will then locate the problem download.
@@kidistg.yohanis3196 - Subfolders are different, depending on the type of Mod you're using. If its a Script, its only allowed 1 subfolder, or it won't read. Also. Make sure to always delete the localthumbcache.package inside the Sims 4 folder, so it shows up in your game immediately. Otherwise, it can take 2-3 game loads or longer to show up working! Non-Package Mods and CC can be placed up to 5 subfolders by default. ^^
What a queen. I stopped playing the sims for like 2 year because my computer broke. I'm getting back into it now, and downloading thousands of cc files. I was in the process of revamping my cc folders before my old computer broke. And now that I have my new computer I am so overwhelmed with the amount of cc shopping I have to do lol. & I have no clue how I want to organize it this time around. I wanted to try it per creator, so I can go back to that creator if there is an issue however, I find it much more difficult to organize it that way when you have so much cc to download. I think I might go back to how I use to. Cas - age/gender-clothing type. Build - windows/doors/landscaping. Buy - room and/or item specific. I wish there was a good cc finds page again. *sigh* i miss Lana lol
me starting ALL over again so watching tons of videos like this to help me get through😭i have (or did have) a lot of furniture cc so i sort it into rooms, and then the cas cc i have gets organised into age group of sim
This is so helpful. Now that I started doing YT vids. I’m starting to get a little confused on how I’m going to keep track of everything. Thanks so much for sharing your system. 💜
bro I used to drop everything my game was SO slow! also off topic what pc do you recommend for sims 4? thats not a lot of money? im like poor- not really but I AINT rich.
@@kulcsocska yeah i tried this but a lot of my files are just a bunch of random numbers. I ended up deleting all my cc and mods lol. Im trying to organize my new ones and so far its going good
i spent like 30 minutes coming up with a long organized section for the males but now I remembered I have to do the females next.. i also realized I have to still put this on file explorer
THIS could not have come at a better time. Are you psychic? I was just going through my mods and thinking “this is a whole hot mess” I mean I’ll take a merge and batch video. Whatever that means... haha. Not to make more work for you!
Off topic but mannnnnnn I’m having this issue where when I load my game all of my lots are gone and I can’t see the households I’ve been playing.. There’s grey llamas over my lots ughhh I’m soo irritated right now lmao! 😂 Anyways I keep my cc folder organized it helps!!
How about CAS that use the same say, eyebrow or hair file. Say Taylor Swift is using the same eyebrows as Beyonce. Can I just keep that single eyebrow file in one folder and let Taylor and Beyonce draw from that single eyebrow file? Or must I create a folder for each CAS and repeat eyebrow file in each folder.
I'm not very skilled to this, I just love playing. I mostly use mods to have some make up, clothing, accessories... Simple stuffs and not too many. I wonder if it's ok to have them in folders inside the mods folder. In the past I went crazy downloading mods without knowing and the game was horribly lagging. I noticed too that a Slice of Life didn't allowed for my whims to show up and my sims were in a constant bipolar way with their emotions specially rage, So I had to delete that one mod sadly....
Am I the only one that thought that mods don't works when they are in a folder IN the mods folder? Like I read that in when they tell you how to install mods
I know this is really old and I hope you see this because I can’t find an answer, can we put mods in a sub folder to separate mods and cc.? Will it break the mods?
I know this video was a while ago but when you load up your game and find something is not working and so decide to do the 50/50. where do you put/place/save etc... the 50/50 that you have taken out of your mods folder. because say if those mods are ok you can put them back and start on the next 50/50 etc...
I've had my cc organized by the creators name. I'm thinking of re-organizing everything to go by the names of the items. Bc sometimes I have trouble finding an item I want to delete from my game. Not sure if re doing it will make it easier.
Those are not necessary, but I would make sure you read the .txt files first as they give you information about whatever mod it is you downloaded that it came with. You can absolutely delete them afterwards.
So I did this and Idk if it's because I did this but none of my mods or cc show up. Can't understand what I did wrong, all the settings are right for script and cc but nothing shows up. Idk what to do now
I'm new to sims4. Does sims read CC even inside the folders? or I have to copy the CC (from organized folder) directly under MODS folder? Edit: NVM I watched till the end and I think the answer is Yes it can read even inside the folders. I have a lot to organize
So I accidentally messed my game up & I can’t find my mods anymore & resource rg is stuck in one drive & I don’t know how to move my game to my hard drive
I'm On my way to reorganize my cc folder I downloaded alot and now I'm from 14.something to almost 100 and my old folder has no broken cc bcs I test them before I put them in and use a cc tracker to take out the bad ones and then I'm good but I need to stop or I might just have 987gb of cc instead lol
I have a glitch in my game where I can only control one of my Sims in my household and I can not control anyone else I don't know if it is only me but I don't know what to do
I'm literally starting over from scratch, gotta download all my mods and ccs again so this will be helpful, thanks. Wish me luck I literally deleted 5k things smh
this happens to me every 6 months girl we got this

JUST DID THIS OMGG
when you don't know where "1002mtm728bm" is supposed go and you're sitting there thinking you downloaded a virus or something like: 👁️👄👁️
lmao 😂
when it comes to those pieces I use Sims 4 Studio to check what the item looks like
@@Morbid_Gamer ohh, i see tyty
Lol this is why I change the title of the CC to the title that's listed on the site for it and then type ___(whatever artist)

I love going through it in Sims 4 Studios
What do you mean by go through it in TS4S, and what do you check in it?
@@lisaisa I'm pretty sure they mean the Sims studio, it's so you can see what it'll look like in cas without having to go I to the game
Mine are bigger than that, got around 174 gb in cc myself and I also have my folder organized just by name from creator
NICE!👏
thats what i planned to do !
Me, a newbie who just dropped a lot into my mods without labeling: 🤦💀
girl same-
yes the struggle is so real right now
Same I am starting over tomorrow 😅
I literally have over 2k unorganized :D
Im just going to let it have fun thats too much

My friend told me that if you organize your mods like that the game will open slowly. Is that true? I really want to organize my mods like that :/
I take screenshot of the cc and then download it, (Because some of IT dosent work)
And yeah..
45 GB?? That would take up half the space my laptop has...
Educational and fun!
I just have them organized alphabetically because I have wayyy too many to organize them that way, any organization is better than none though

Mods can go into sub folders (folders inside of folders) just not script mods.
Am I the only one that thought that mods don't works when they are in a folder IN the mods folder? Like I read that in when they tell you how to install mods
Package files may go up to 5 folders deep and still be read. Script files can only go 1 file deep.

I'm dreading the 50/50 method with my 11,000 cc package but I'm putting them in folders n we move from there
Good luck!
Just downloaded like 600 files of cc and mods, so I need this, lol
Miss you, Morbid!! I hope you're doing well, beautiful.
oh your sweet thanks for leeting us upload the mods you orginized nice so sweet , this is so helpful.
Hey! How do I take cc out of the game just for a period of time? So I can maybe put I back later when I want to play with it? xo
So, quick question. What parts can I delete from downloaded CC? Like are the .txt or .jpg files necessary?
Those are not necessary, but I would make sure you read the .txt files first as they give you information about whatever mod it is you downloaded that it came with. You can absolutely delete them afterwards.
So I did this and Idk if it's because I did this but none of my mods or cc show up. Can't understand what I did wrong, all the settings are right for script and cc but nothing shows up. Idk what to do now

You are Excellent!
I currently have a 75GB cc+mods folder wtf do i do TT wish me luck
Me having too many mods and none of them are organized and idk how to separate them cause I forgot what I downloaded and what is what
Thank you I need to organize I have a lot but not as much as you
thank you so much.
After you drop the new CCs into the new CC folder and check them and drop them into their own folder you delete them?
Do you know how to transfer your mods folder to an external storage device and have you computer save it to the external instead of the C drive>

how do i sort out old cc i don’t want any more like i don’t know what the cc looks like in file mode

Merging? Is that making it into a .zip? Is that what you meant?
No. Using Sims 4 Studios you can merge your cc files together into one package file
This made me more confused 😩 i just dont know enough about computers i guess smh. This all sounds like japanese to me.
How you make folder in the mod tab omg
right click then "new folder" drag your mods into it. dont put script mods more than one folder deep.
I just recently deleted all the cc and game, just because I couldn’t find the alpha cc that I hated.
I just deleted all my cc rn
