HOW TO DOWNLOAD CUSTOM CC HOUSES & LOTS FOR THE SIMS 4

If you’ve ever seen a gorgeous CC house or a fully decorated custom lot and thought, “How do I get that into MY game?” — this video will show you exactly how to do it. Whether you’re downloading from Patreon, Tumblr, CurseForge, or anywhere else, this guide works the same!

♡︎Below are the full instructions in case you need them written out ♡︎

♡︎ 1. Download the Files

When you download a CC house/lot, you’ll usually get one or more of the following file types:

• .package files (custom content objects, furniture, textures)

• .trayitem files

• .blueprint, .bpi, .sgi (Lot/House files)

• A .zip or .rar folder that contains everything

Make sure to extract the folder if it’s zipped!

♡︎ 2. Install the TRAY Files (The Lot Itself)

These files control the structure of the house — walls, floors, rooms, layout, etc.

Place these files here:
👉 Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Tray

DO NOT make a new folder for tray files.
They must go directly inside the Tray folder.

♡︎ 3. Install the CC Files (Furniture, Decor, Objects)

If the house uses custom content objects, you’ll have .package files included.

Place them here:
👉 Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods

You can put CC in subfolders, just don’t go more than 1–2 folders deep, or the game might not read them.

♡︎ 4. Enable Mods in Your Game

Open The Sims 4 and go to:

Game Options → Other
✔ Enable Custom Content & Mods
✔ Enable Script Mods (optional)
Then restart your game.

You should see a “Mods” pop-up list when the game loads — this means everything is installed correctly.

♡︎ 5. Place the Lot in Your Game

Go to:

1. Manage Worlds

2. Pick any lot

3. Click Gallery (Library tab)

4. Make sure these filters are ON:
   ✔ Include Custom Content
   ✔ Lots

5. CTRL + Shift + C ton bring up cheats menu then type bb.moveobjects on (should say move objects enabled)

6. Look for the house you downloaded in your library and make sure include custom content is checked

7. Click Place Lot

Make sure the lot size matches the house (ex: 30x20, 40x30, 50x50).
You can bulldoze a lot before placing the new one.

♡︎ Common Issues & Fixes ♡︎

Feel free to renovate, redecorate, or make it your own!
