New CC List Guide & How to Use It! (Long post lol)
Hey everyone! 💕 It's currently 3am lol and I've literally been sitting here linking downloads to each item-yep, each and every single item from my CC folder lol! But I wanted to share a quick update about a streamlined new format I’ve put together for the CC lists. My goal is to help you track down individual items instantly and save you from having to do those tedious 50/50 searches in your mods folder if anything acts up. Hopefully this also means I can release a Master CC list in the future!
The new lists will “look” longer, however it is very streamlined, please read below for more information. Please note this is still a work-in-progress!
Reason for the change?
Rest-assured that all my builds are fully play-tested and work in my own game. The reason for this change is simply to give you the best tools possible. Because I receive many messages and comments, I unfortunately don't have the time to reply to every single one or troubleshoot from my end. I am also unable to share my raw CC folders, as doing so goes against creators' Terms of Use.
I know that downloading CC and fixing game quirks can feel overwhelming, so I poured a lot of time into creating these lists to help you stay self-sufficient and get straight back to the fun part-playing!
At the end of the day, it's just a game, but it has become such a big part of my life, and being a part of this community means I always want to do my best for you.
I truly appreciate your wonderful support and love seeing you enjoy my builds. If you happen to encounter any issues or have missing items, just follow the easy guide below! ❤️
📋 What’s new?
Item-Level Breakdown vs. Pack-Level: The old sheet typically listed whole collection sets or general pack categories, whereas this new format breaks things down line-by-line into exact individual package file names.
VLOOKUP and Tray Importer Compatibility: This sheet is explicitly built so you can cross-reference it using VLOOKUP and data pulled from Sims 4 Tray Importer, making it much easier to match what you own against what is missing.
Enhanced Search Precision: Because every individual item has its own dedicated row with exact .package file names in Column D, you can target specific missing objects instantly using Ctrl + F or Ctrl + H rather than hunting through broad creator folders on your device.
New Layout
📋 How to Navigate New Lists
Open the list you want to download from some builds will have two lists depending if you want Furnished or Unfurnished. (ONLY PICK ONE)
Go to Column C and click the links to Download
📂 What Each Column Means:
Column A (Creator): Who made the item.
Column B (Collection Name): The name of the set or pack.
Column C (Links/Parts): Includes links to download the CC from Creator’s page.
Column D (Item Names): The exact package file name to search for missing items in your Mods Folder or use in your VLOOKUPs.
🔍 Search the Sheet
On Computer: Press Ctrl + F (Windows) or Cmd + F (Mac) on your keyboard to open the search bar.
Advanced Search Tip: You can also press Ctrl + H (or go to Edit > Find and replace in the top menu) if you want to pull up advanced options to search the whole sheet at once!
You can search for any item e.g “toothbrush” and it will find the item and where it’s from.
💡 Check for Missing Items
How to Find Missing Items Using Tray Importer
Export the List: Open Sims 4 Tray Importer, select your downloaded build, and go to the CC (Custom Content) tab to view or export the list of required package files.
Match with the Sheet: Run a VLOOKUP against the CC list sheet to quickly compare what you have installed against everything used in the build.
Search Your Mods Folder: Copy the exact .package file name from Column D of the sheet and paste it directly into your computer's Mods folder search bar to see if the file is already on your system or needs to be downloaded.
How to Find Items Causing Issues
Isolate New Downloads: If a specific item is throwing errors or breaking your game, use the CC list and a VLOOKUP to pinpoint newly downloaded files tied to the build.
Remove and Test: Take those isolated package files out of your Mods folder temporarily, boot up your game to test if the issue stops, and use the sheet's creator and collection info to track down safer updates if needed

Hi love I did want to say thank you for all that you do and I can't wait to see more of your builds. I did want to ask about 3 builds specifically Del Sol Compound, Lake House Residence, and the Del Sol Mansion. If you were planning on updating some older ones or what I can do because I am still missing certain items from those builds. Your work is pure perfection btw.
Hi Lovely ahh thank you so much! I appreciate the love. I hope to find the time in the future to revisit the CC lists still getting all the data together lol. feel free to pop me a message on tiktok i can help find which items in the meantime!
Thank you so much! ❤️
Aww, thank you so much! 💛 I hope it makes your building and playing super smooth!
Wait you mean it's not normal to want to get a VLOOKUP or SQL version of your entire CAS/BB database going? Ya know, for science! Seriously 💜you for doing this. I know what a PITA it can be getting the data together.
Right?! 😂 Honestly, the SQL/VLOOKUP brain is so real when you have way too much CC to track. Thank you so much for the love, it definitely takes a minute to put together but is so worth it! 💜
You’re amazing !! Thank you 🫶🏻
Love you angel 🌸
