Sims 4 Studio Tutorial

 Have trouble custom content (CC) in your sims game? I've been there all too many times. The worst part is not knowing which CC in your game it is. I downloaded Sims 4 Studio to make custom content for my game. I accidentally found out that it helps me identify trouble CC in my game from wrong category (having nude selected so it shows up in the shower) to meshes missing. For me, this was easier and quicker than trying one folder at a time in my mod folder. Let's get started with the tutorial.

Program: Sims4Studio

Abbreviations:
CC = custom content
S4S = sims4studio 

Tips:
1. If the mesh is not missing then you will see it on your sim and that will speed up the process of finding it in S4S.
 
2. Skip over CC for building and buy modes.
3. When you first add new CC, go immediately in your game to check it.
4. Use the down and up arrow keys on the keyboard to go through the list faster.
5. Having CC in folders not only keeps the Mod folder organized, but makes finding issues faster.
6. If a mesh is missing then go back to the site you got your CC from and see if there's a link for a mesh. Sometimes it's easy to overlook it like I do sometimes

Tutorial

1. Download & install S4S

2. Go in your game and press C to take screenshots of your troubled CC. 

3. Exit Sims 4

4. Launch S4S (this is what you will see minus my watermark)
 

5. Click the My CC
 

6. On the left is all of your CC. Mine is arranged in folders by CC creator, but yours may look different


7. Open the first folder (or click on the first CC file you have if you don't have folders)
 

8. This is what you will see on the right side, which is what you will be editing. The only things that should be changed are: age and gender, colors, age appropriate, occult (if you want to allow aliens to wear it), and outfit type. The one I change the most is outfit type.


9. Now if a mesh is missing, this is what you will see - absolutely nothing lol.
(only having one folder in this SS was so I could find my problem file easier lol)
