Created by fellow players and shared for free across the web, CC allows players to flesh out The Sims 4 without breaking the bank. Custom content, also known as CC, offers a perfect alternative. It was like someone had handed me the blue pill suddenly, my world was infinitely larger, and the possibilities for design were endless. Simsi45's Teen Style Stuff is filled with a lot of Buy Mode and Build Mode custom content that can be used to create a teen Sim's dream bedroom. Since its creation in 2014, The Sims 4 has spawned 12 expansion packs, 12 game packs, 18 stuff packs, and 17 kits, the cost of which can quickly rack up. When what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a huge long list of links to all those housing items I’d been scouring the game packs for. I didn’t know what those letters meant, but I very quickly figured out that they were my two new favourite letters in the world. I was curious, so I clicked on “Show more” in the description. It wasn’t until I was watching a YouTube video of a speed build around Christmas that I noticed a peculiar term I’d never seen before: CC. I even started following a bunch of different Instagram accounts dedicated to design for the Sims 4, watching what they created and then driving myself crazy trying to find those items in official packs.
It didn’t take me long to run out of ideas with the base-game items, and eventually, I started getting the expansion and stuff packs just so I could build with their items. I think one of my biggest frustrations with the Sims is how limited it can be in terms of home design.
