You downloaded The Sims 4 and have put in some serious hours into the game. Suddenly, you realize your Sims do not reflect you nor do they reflect the communities you are a part of. What are you to do?
Well, thankfully, the Sims community has an outstanding mod and custom content community. These people put hours and hours into creating mods and custom content that reflect various communities. Now, if you hadn’t figured it out already I am Black so this post will be geared towards helping other Black people who play the Sims (Black Simmers) find dope custom content for their Sims.
Black Simblr
Like with most things, once you find a connection point into an industry, community, or group then you are in. You suddenly become exposed to everything you had no clue you were missing out on. Finding custom content for Black Sims is no different. So far, the best entry point in is through Tumblr. A lot of Black Sims 4 cc creators have made Tumblr their home to share their mods, custom content, role-plays, and let’s plays. Once you start to follow a few, then Tumblr’s algorithm will get to work and start suggesting other Black Simblrs you may be interested in following based on your selection.
Some of my fave custom content creators on Tumblr are:
The Black Simmer
The Black Simmer is a forum that was created by Xmiramira for Black Simmers. No, you don’t have to be Black to participate in the forum. However, if you do come in the forum with some racist, ignorant bs then you will catch that ban. On the Black Simmer, Xmiramira has a vault that houses tons of custom content from various Black Simmers. In order to gain access to the vault, you must be an active participant in the forum. After a certain number of posts, within the forum, the vault will be unlocked and you will have access to the custom content within the vault
Now don’t go in there trying to spam your way into the vault. Like actually engage with the community. In the forum people post their let’s plays, RP’s, Sims frustrations, WCIF (where can I find) help and much, much more. The game can feel pretty isolating if you are a part of a marginalized group, the Black Simmer brings you that home you didn’t realize you needed until you got it.
Black Hair for Sims 4
On Youtube, I created a video of the Black hairstyles I found for your Sims 4 sims. In the description box, you can find links to all of the hairstyles in the video. Great starting point for your Sims to get their entire life.
Must Need For Your Black Sims
Ok everyone come in close I am about to tell you a secret. ::whispers:: You need Xmiramira Melanin Pack for your game. You will thank me later and your Sims will thank you because they will be less ashy. Now, Xmiramira Melanin Pack was one of those things I didn’t really realize I needed until Sims 4 Vampire pack. I had the skintone collection before that but it was the update for the Vampire pack that made me realize how rough those base skin tones were for darker Sims. When I clicked on the darkest skin tone and thought I had accidentally picked one of the vampire skin tones. I was shocked, appalled like….
Xmiramira Melanin pack comes with 54 rich, melanated, I bathe in coco butter regularly skin tones for your Sims. She also has highlighters and blushes so your Sim can have that Instagram model look going on for them. No, my Sim is not sucking in her cheeks she is contoured to the Gods.
Black Sims 4 CC Downloads (Goodies I’ve Found)
Whenever I get a chance, I share some of the dope Sims 4 cc I find from Black Simmers and Simmers of Color. You can find some of the items here and also you can check out a Twitter thread I created of some of my fave cc.
While I was sitting here tweeting about the custom content in the Sim community, I decided to start a thread that showcases some of my faves

Sims 4 Creators Terms of Use (TOU)
Now there is a lot going on in the cc and mod community you may be unaware of when you are first starting off. It’s too much to get into here. However, I did create a blog post that touches on it a little bit Cooperation Makes It Happen: How The Sims Can Fix Their Representation Issue
With that being said some mod and custom content creators have placed a terms of use on their work. To be honest, the whole thing is based on an honor system. However, I am a firm believer of respecting creators work. They don’t have to do this and they provide gigabyte, upon gigabyte, upon gigabyte of free stuff that makes the Sims 4 game better. So please respect their TOU. If you can’t do that then don’t download the stuff. There are plenty of cc creators who don’t have a TOU.
Girl, wrap this up already
Ok, ok but before I wrap this up I must say please use caution when downloading cc’ing. Make sure your computer is secured up tight and be careful when navigating those ad links. I know it can get confusing and is very annoying but until EA get’s their stuff together and decides to work with the mod and cc community then this what we have to work with. If you are interested in finding out more about Sims 4 cc and the mod community, then checkout Xmiramira’s cc school playlist. She has tons of information on where to find cc, how to organize it and information on software you can download that will detect faulty cc and duplicates.
Welp, I hope you all enjoyed this post and I will see you around in the Simverse. Do you download cc, what are some of your fave spots to find custom content for Black Sims and Sims of Color?

The Sims games are always better with some high-quality, custom user-created content, also known as CC.
The Sims 4 has a large variety of CC now that its been out for a few years, but there's so many different websites and blogs that you can find CC on, and if you're new to CC (or just don't have any favourite creators/sites yet), it can be overwhelming to find the best stuff. Thankfully, I've created this guide for you to use!
These are all sites that I use regularly, so I can vouch for their content. They're all virus-free and free-to-use sites, so have fun and download to your heart's content.
Note: I will not be covering mods here (content used to modify or add things to your game), as I already have an separate article on the Must-Have Mods for the Sims 4. This guide is purely for custom content: objects, clothing, hair, decor, etc.
But First, What Is Maxis-Match?
When a content creator uses the term 'Maxis-match,' it means that the custom content is made in the same style of the official content created by The Sims designers.
Sims 4 Maxis-match content is usually vibrant, colourful, and a bit cartoony, much like the art direction the Sims 4 has taken.
Sims 4 Urban Cc Finds
More realistic looking clothing, hair, and other CC aren't considered 'Maxis-match.' The term can also refer to text being used on CC creations. When text is Maxis-match, it is written in Similish. Non-Maxis-match text, or non-MM, is usually in English.
Personally, I believe Maxis-match CC looks far better in the game than the realistic CC. I feel as though the more realistic-looking hair/clothes/objects/etc. look better in The Sims 3, based on its art style, but it's all a matter of personal opinion.
How Do You Install Custom Content in The Sims 4?
Below are step-by-step direction explaining how to install custom content in The Sims 4.
- Download the custom content from one of the website below.
- Unzip the file, then open the file.
- Find the '.package' file.
- Move the '.package' file to your 'Mods' folder. This should be under Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods.
- You're finished! Your custom content should be installed.
If you've gotten stuck or the directions above aren't working, check out my article How to Install Custom Content and Mods in The Sims 4 (PC & Mac) for help.
Table of Contents
This article contains six sections organized by the type of custom content offered. Simply click one of the links below to find the custom content you desire.
1. Custom Content Websites for Clutter
The following websites are great places to download custom clutter for The Sims 4.
Budgie2Budgie
Budgie2Budgie is the Queen of Clutter. From kitchen clutter like jars of jam, candy boxes, and deco food to classroom posters, there's a bit of everything on her blog to make your Sim's homes and communities look more lived-in and realistic.
Cute, colorful and Maxis-match, her clutter objects are a perfect addition to any game. I always go on a downloading spree when I'm on her page, and I'm sure you will too.

Litttlecakes
Litttlecakes make some of the best clutter and decor pieces and sets you can find! I really love adding their content to my game, as their pieces give a really personal touch; things like posters, candles, and flowers make each of my Sims homes feel unique.

Martine's Simblr
Martine's Simblr has a little bit of everything: clutter, objects, clothes, lots, etc. I've categorized her in the 'Clutter' section, however, because clutter is what she does most, and it's what initially drew me to her page.
Her wedding boutique clutter is absolutely stunning, in particular. After you're done downloading everything she's ever made, be sure to check her gorgeous self-sim wedding!

B. Simth
B. Simth is another CC creator who just makes really cute stuff! She does a bit more than clutter (some objects and mods), but I find her clutter to be some of the best around. She also makes a lot of things for babies and for (hopefully) the toddlers we'll some day have in the Sims 4. Her CC is a definite if you're a family-style/legacy player!
Click thumbnail to view full-size
Brazen Lotus
Brazen Lotus makes CC by taking content from the game and DLC and separating it so you can use it individually to decorate your games with. She's taken packs like Dine Out and separated the dishes, pots, and pans for decorative clutter in your game.

What the CC Looks Like
Below is a screenshot of my clutter-filled kitchen featuring custom content from Martine Simblr, B. Simth, and a few others.
2. Clothes
The following websites are great places to download custom clothes for The Sims 4.
BEO Creations
If you're looking for beautiful wedding dresses, look no further than BEO Creations' stunning gowns. Though her site includes many other clothing designs (mainly formal wear), the wedding dresses are the most beautiful in my opinion.
In fact, all my Sims have worn dresses by BEO at their weddings. Of course, you'll need to outfit your sim in a diamond tiara and bouquet, as well.
Click thumbnail to view full-size
Elliesimple
Elliesimple makes more realistic (alpha) clothing, but it all looks amazing in-game. From trendy coats, to sexy undergarments, you'll want to download some of their content and add it to your game play.
Click thumbnail to view full-size
Adblocker Is Your Friend
Many CC creators post their downloads on sites like Adfly. These sites allow the creators to make money for their CC, which definitely isn't a bad thing, but these sites tend to have really obnoxious ads. Using ad blockers can keep you from dealing with obnoxious ads on sites like Adfly!
Marvin Sims
One thing The Sims 4 is in need of is more clothing for guys. Marvin Sims has plenty of CC men's clothing! His selection for women is pretty big too, and overall, his clothing is some of the best I've seen. All of it is trendy, fashionable, and Maxis-match, so you're sure to find something (or ten things), you'll like on his page.
Click thumbnail to view full-size
SimpleSimmer
SimpleSimmer makes gorgeous Maxis-match content for female sims: jeans, halters, dresses, jackets, skirts and more. I have so much of their content in my game and use it for most of my Sims. They also make a lot of gorgeous MM hair, but more on that below.
Click thumbnail to view full-size
Joliebean
We can never really get enough content for male Sims, so thankfully Joliebean makes a lot of it! Jerseys, cardigans, jackets, and more; anything you'd want to make your male Sims look stylish could be found here! Don't worry, there's plenty of content for female Sims, too, though!
Click thumbnail to view full-size
In a Bad Romance
In a Bad Romance's CC is more on the realistic side, which isn't my thing for the Sims 4, but I still love everything she makes. Her clothes are all super modern and fashion-forward–perfect for young adult and teen Sims. She also makes some of the best accessories: everything from wallets and iPhone cases to purses and backpacks.

VIIAVI
VIIAVI has LOTS of beautiful clothes on their site. There's plenty of casual outfits for your female Sims, gorgeous dresses, grungy t-shirts, and much more. All of it is Maxis Match and looks absolutely stunning in the game.

Historical Sims Life
This might be a bit niche, but if you ever wanted to play a game set in the Victorian era, recreate Downton Abbey, or just add some retro looks to your game, you'll find a lot to download over at Historical Sims Life's blog. They've made a ton of historical content for The Sims 4 and have clothing for both male and female Sims.
Click thumbnail to view full-size
Rusty Nail
Rusty has been making CC for a long time. Their stuff is really beautiful and polished, and all their clothing content look great in the game. There's a large selection of clothes for both male and female Sims, and your Sims will look so stylish once their dressed in Rusty's content.

OnyxSims
It seems unfair that we dress up our adult sims and totally neglect our toddlers. Thankfully OnyxSims has us covered with tons of adorable and stylish looks for toddlers. I think I've had most of their content in my game before, and I had the cutest-looking toddlers in town!

3. Hair
The following websites are great places to download custom hair for The Sims 4.
LumiaLoverSims
One thing The Sims 4 needs more of is hair for male and ethnic Sims. Thankfully, LumiaLoverSims does a bit of both! Their male hair is actually amazing with so many different styles to make your male Sims look sleek and sexy. They've also created some hair for ethnic Sims, such as afros, afro buns and dreadlocks. You'll find plenty of awesome CC hair here!

SimLaughLove
If you were ever looking for some cute braids, ponytails and updos, look no further than SimLaughLove's downloads. They make some really nice hair meshes, and a lot of them are braids and ponytails. Great for your sporty Sims!

Chocolate Muffin Top
Chocolate Muffin Top's content is an interesting mix of ethnic hair, alpha hair, and other beautifully unique creations. I love their content and have added lots of it to my game!
Click thumbnail to view full-size
Weeping Simmer
Weeping Simmer is another content creator with a great variety of content. While they create everything from accessories to clothing, they have a lot of fantastic hair meshes that are well worth adding to your game.

AHARRIS00BRITNEY
I can't get enough of quality Maxis-Match hair. Thankfully, aharris00britney has made a TON of gorgeous hairs for your Sims to wear.
Click thumbnail to view full-size
Savvy Sweet
The Sims 4 team is getting better at adding ethnic hairs to the games, but for a long time, fans had to rely solely on CC-creators to make ethnic hair styles. Thankfully, there's still a lot of beautiful options out there, and Savvy Sweet is one of the most talented creators of ethnic hair.
Click thumbnail to view full-size
Kiara 24
Kiara 24 makes some of the best hair out there! All of her stuff is Maxis-match and will fit well with the rest of the hair in the game. She also does a lot of content for cute child Sims, giving you lots of variety when it comes to customizing your little prince or princess.

Georgiaglm
Once again, we can't forget about our toddlers! There's certainly not enough hairstyles in the vanilla game for them yet, but thankfully Georgiaglm has converted many of the adult hairstyles from the base game and packs and made them for toddlers! They look so great in the game, too.

4. Skin Details and Make-Up
The following websites are great places to download custom skin details, make-up and eye replacements for The Sims 4.
Mousy Sims
Looking for some freckles to put on your Sim's face? Mousy Sims has some great Maxis-Match freckles that you can use to give your Sims a more realistic, and natural, look.

Vampire_aninyosaloh
One of my favourite things to do to glam up a Sim is to add on a big set of eyelashes. I've used the ones by Vampire_aninyosaloh pretty much since the game came out. They're my favourite ones and they look great in the game.

GeekSim
GeekSim does it all, from eyebrows, to blush, to eye shadow and highlight. She's a one-stop shop for beautifying your Sim.
Click thumbnail to view full-size
Grim Cookies
Grim Cookies is another jack of all trades. They make a lot of different content for skin, including eyeshadow, lip stick, and a truly lucious default skin replacement.
Click thumbnail to view full-size
XMiraMira
One of my favourite custom skins is by XMiraMira. Her Melanin Pack is so perfect for Sims of colour, and as a person of colour myself, I found her beautiful blends to be so much closer to my skin IRL than the skin tones in the game. Finally, I was able to make an accurate Sim Self with her blend!
Click thumbnail to view full-size
Crypticsim
Crypticsim has TONS of stunning Maxis-Match make-up for your Sims. Internet port printer cups to print. Eye shadow, lipstick and eyeliner, oh my! Her lipstick shades are some of my absolute favourites to use.

I've never bothered much with eye replacements, but I really love the ones that DFJ makes. They're beautiful and fit in really well with the look of the game. Zoom in close and check out these beauties!

5. Furniture and Objects
The following websites are great places to download custom furniture and objects for The Sims 4.
The Plumbob Tea Society
The Plumbob Tea Society is a collective of Sims 4 Custom Content creators (including some of the ones highlighted in this article; Martine, HistoricalSimsLife, and LitttleCakes) that came together to make some fan made 'Stuff Packs.' While the team has retired, they're still leaving all their content up, and it's all worth downloading!

OhMySims is another CC creator who does big projects, rather than individual CC. Artificial academy 2 weeaboo. Her lots are super cute, creative and fun. Make sure you download the Al Fresco Market, or her super adorable Simskin Robbins and Dunksim Donuts lots!

The Plumbob Architect
I absolutely LOVE The Plumbob Architect's work. I've used their Life in Pixelcolors set in almost all of my houses, in all of my games. Their furniture is just so sleek and trendy; I wish I could own it in real life!

Sims in the Woods
Sims in the Woods hasn't been making CC for The Sims 4 for a long time, but all of her stuff is great! The majority of her CC is conversions from The Sims 3, but it's all stuff we need in the game, such as the Medieval Market, functioning podiums/pulpits, and awesome skylight pieces.

Around The Sims has been around for a long time. The site's owner/CC creator, Sandy, has been making content for The Sims games since The Sims 1. She's known for doing amazing, elaborate sets that can be used for your Sims homes or community lots. Her content for The Sims 4 is just as fantastic as all her other creations. You can download everything from stuff to make your own (mostly decorative) beauty parlor, to all the bits and pieces needed to spice up your local movie theater.

DOT
I love a lot of DOT's sets. They bring some realism to the game and they create a lot of well-detailed little pieces (like her record set, for example), that really bring my Sim's homes to life.

Deleting CC
If you ever need to delete a bad piece of CC or get rid of something you simply don't use anymore, it's pretty easy: just delete the package file from your Mods folder. That's it!
6. Compilation Sites
There are a lot of sites out there that simply post links to all The Sims 4 CC created each day.
These 'Compilation Sites' are handy if you're not really in the mood to go to individual sites on a daily basis, and they're also a good place to discover new content creators that you may not have heard of before. Below are some of my favourite 'compilation sites' for The Sims 4.
Lana's CC Finds
Lana's CC Finds is managed by SSSVitlans (or Lana) and is the best place to find custom content on Tumblr. Many CC creators use Tumblr as their platform for uploading their custom content, but Tumblr can be hard to navigate if you don't know where to look. Lana reblogs all the content released daily, and has very organized pages by tags so you can find exactly what you're looking for.
My Sims 4 Blog
I've been going to My Sims 4 Blog since The Sims 3. It's updated daily with links to custom content all over the web. It's a handy site, as well, as everything is indexed by tags. You can also search for something specific if needed.
Sims 4 Updates
Sims 4 Updates is also updated daily. They seem to post a lot more clothing CC than some of the other sites, though most of it is 'realistic' rather than Maxis-match.
Sims 4 Downloads
Sims 4 Downloads is another daily compilation site. Lots of hair and clothing CC gets posted here!
Sims 4 Hairs
Sims 4 Hairs is a compilation site specifically for, you guessed it, Sims 4 hair.
Mod The Sims
Mod The Sims is one of the oldest and best Sims CC sites. Mod the Sims is mostly for, well, game mods .. but they do have quite a bit of CC like custom hair, clothes and objects. It's always a good idea to browse here from time to time. Plasticbox is one of the best CC creators on MTS at the moment!
The Sims Resource
The Sims Resource is not my favourite anymore (back in TS2 days, it was the premium site for content) as most of the stuff there isn't Maxis-match and they use way too many ads, but it's still worth mentioning for the sheer amount of content you can find. Some CC creators only post on The Sims Resource, so it's definitely worth checking out from time to time.
How to Keep Your Mods Organized
Take a look at my mods folder below for ideas on how to keep your mods organized.
You can go up to four folders deep when it comes to organizing, and you can organize by any method you'd like! Just make the folders and drag and drop your files!
What's your favourite kind of content to download for The Sims 4?
- Are all of the download sites mentioned in your article trustworthy? I don't want to download a virus.I have personally tried most of these mods and never had any viruses! All of the sites are trustworthy, but I always recommend using a good anti-virus software and ad blocker when downloading anything off of the Internet!33

- I was looking for some new CC sites and this helped a lot. Thanks!
- i downloaded a cc and it has broke my game I am not happy about this
- I like to use the skin details custom content the most.. it gives a more interesting and dramatic flare to how my sims look. And each of my creations has a unique look. Clothes are a close second, because I would absolutely hate to see my sims without cc clothes. Especially, because maxis clothes are so basic and for females never fit the figure right. Males are too limited and just provide a plain shirt and some random jeans/sometimes shorts. Hair is a third for the simple fact that I love the styling of custom content hair and that it gives a more realistic look to the sims, and makes each of them more attractive. Objects is a fourth for me, because I love making my homes beautiful. And trust me each one of mine are. Accessories is a fifth to me, because even though it has a slightly small role in the young adults looks, it plays a HUGE role in the toddler and childrens looks. Clutter is sixth, because I also love adding it to my houses and rooms and spicing everything up, they are great decorations. I absolutely despise default replacements, because I want to still be able to use maxis sometimes for certain sims challenges or looks. And that is it.
- TSR (The Sims Resource) is also a website with tons of accessories to hair a clothing for all the Sims games
- i like searching for makeup like eyeliners and lashes and lipsticks!
- I love eveytthing
- My favourite kind of content to download for The Sims 4 are without a doubt EYES! I just love eyes, the give such an amazing personality to a sim and the best thing is that there are sooooo many eyes available for download. Luckily there are also a bunch of other CC objects, clothing and hairstyles available to spice up your game!
