Sims 4 Resource Cfg

What is Resource.cfg. If you go to The Sims 3's installation folder (usually in Programs/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3), you will find several files with this name. The Resource.cfg file we are referring to for the installation of.package files, is an additional file you have to download and cannot be found in the game.

  1. After launching The Sims 4 and enabling mods in your game, locate the Mods folder for The Sims 4. The default path for your Sims 4 folder is located in your Documents folder. The Mods folder will generate inside the Sims 4 folder once you have launched the game with mods enabled. In the Mods folder, there is a “Resource.cfg” file.
  2. Load a new test-save and check that things are good. Repeat steps 2 - 4 until you've gone through your mods. If you find your having trouble, check the last two you installed again one by one. If that doesn't help, search on the CC that you're having issues with to see if anyone else is having problems with it.
  3. The Sims 4 Mod Manager is a program designed to make management of mods easier. Features. Drag and drop (supports more than one drop). Auto-installs mods from their archives (Zip, RAR, or 7Zip). See “Adding Mods” below. Does not make use of the Resource.cfg – Mods are backed up to a folder, and are copied to the “Mods.
  4. Note: Do not re-add the old Resource.cfg file from the old mods folder, as it is possible for it to have become corrupted also. Sims 4 Reset Your Game Resetting your game is a more thorough way to troubleshoot an issue.

The Sims 4 community is great at adding their own spice to the game, including wacky mods. While MC Command Center can add to outrageous gameplay, it is also handy for giving practical augmentations to your game. For example, don't you sometimes wish your neighbors would have their own life progressions, such as marriages and children? MC Command Center can help with that.

Have you ever wanted to control your sim's entire world, down to the finest detail? Then read on for a guide on how to acquire one of the best mods in The Sims 4.

Note: This process requires moving downloaded folders into the Mods folder of The Sims 4. Be sure to read and follow these steps carefully before adjusting your game files. Mods are performed at the user's own risk.

Step One: Go to Deaderpool's Blog

The MCCC mod was created by Deaderpool, who still has the download hosted on their personal blog. From there, you will navigate to the MCCC Downloads tab. This will show you all of the most recent versions of the mod with helpful descriptions for compatibility.

Step Two: Download and Unzip the File

After you find the download most compatible with your Sims 4 setup, proceed to click it under the Release column. This will start the download of the zip file. Once you access the file, unzip it to reveal all the individual documents.

Step Three: Place the Download in the Mods Folder

After unzipping the file, you will see several items inside. Move all folders over to your Mods folder, which is located in the Electronic Arts folder that holds your Sims 4 folder (which is within your Documents). This will enable the mod to work.

Note: If you have other mods and want to keep them organized, you can add one layer of the folder for the Mods folders. For example, you can create an MCCC folder within the Mods folder, but not another within the MCCC folder. If you do this, the mods will not be detected by the game.

Step Four: Edit and Save the Resource.cfg File

When you install MCCC for the first time, you will need to edit and save the Resource.cfg file. This is necessary the first time, but only once (even when you update the mod). You also only need to do this if you are not using specified sub-folders within your mods folder. If you are organizing with folders, you can skip this step.

After you enter the game, there should be a popup that introduces MCCC in your game. If this does not happen, the mod is not working.

Step Six: Go to a PC or a Sim

To find the settings that you'll frequently use for MCCC, go to either a computer in a household or your sim. Click on either to find the settings (labeled MC Command Center or an icon of Deaderpool).

Step Seven: Make Sure to Keep Up to Date
