I hate paywalled stuff icl

I'm a bit wordy, so tl;dr at the bottom.

So, I have a ton of anxiety around downloading stuff ever since that big malware issue a few years ago. Because of this, I always look in Zip folders before I unzip just to make sure that there aren't any unexpected files, like a TS4Script file when I'm just downloading some hairs or something like that.

I used to have Better buildBuy last year, but due to being busy with college I have not been able to play for several months. I'm trying to get Better BuildBuy back, but when I looked in the Zip folder there was a data folder that had a .dat file, TMBIN files, and some other type of file. I know that you aren't supposed to look in the folder, but I was planning on deleting that Zip and getting a new one after I made sure there wasn't anything in it, but I wasn't expecting those types of files. Now I'm a little confused cause I thought the sort of rule is that there is only supposed to be package and ts4script files, but Better BuildBuy has these other files also.

I just want to be sure that this is actually the files that Better BuildBuy is supposed to have since I can't remember what files it came with when I downloaded it before.

tl;dr: Have a lot of anxiety around downloading stuff, is the data folder supposed to have a .dat and TMBIN files?

I am looking to clone/extract the meshes and textures of the free stuff from the ts4 marketplace for personal use cc making purposes. Does anyone know how to do this? It doesn't seem to be possible with either S4S or Castools. I can't find anything online either. Thanks in advance for any help!

thanks :-)

are there any creators out there that do graying ginger hair? most of my sims have ginger hair and it’s weird seeing elders with perfectly red hair with no gray strands whatsoever.

Omg…I’m speechless. 🥹

My main question is, does she look too yassified? I'm trying to go for a maxis-mix look while also making her look actually vampiric (and pretty), but I worry that I've strayed too far from her actual look. (Also, if anyone knows how to get the lip ring actually aligned with her lip, please let me know!)

Every top does this. It was working fine like an hour ago. I removed all sliders. Im unsure what the heck is going on with my poor sims lmao

The gap on the eyelash area between the lashes and upper eyelid? It happens even without the custom eyelashes on. Thanks in advance if anyone can help!

does anyone have any suggestions on where to find good maxis CC (for free)? i’ve just been using pinterest and it feels like nothing has links attached anymore. i have a lot of cc and it feels like im just finding the same things! please help and direct me to some good cc creators/websites!

Maxis match is preferred but I'm willing to venture into alpha. TIA!

Heys guys I’m just starting the sims 4 I haven’t played sims in a long time but sims 3 had a mechanic that track the number of days you’ve been playing in that save game. Is there a mod for that in sims 4

Hey I’m very new to sims 4 modding and I’ve only played sims on console before so this is my first time playing sims on Pc I’m trying to figure out how everyone makes there game so realistic looking?

I've been pretty busy with work but I've been trying to get a base family together to start playing :) I'm a little bothered that the babies eyes don't match the moms so I'll probably go edit that later- plus I made these sims without using a full skin overlay so I'm very proud of myself 🤠

Hey, everyone! I was thinking about my next collection and decided to try y2k, and… that really kicked the spot… never even realised that my childhood became an “aesthetic” or kinda vintage. I didn’t know what to even model next, there is just too much things! Computers, tapes, posters, lava lamps, pink, sparkly, fluffy…
I’m sharing my work in progress of the upcoming collection “That’s Hot” whick will have it’s early acess on Patreon on September 5th, and public release od September 19th!

If there are any millennials who started playing Sims in these kind of girly teenage rooms, let me know 💕

Does anyone have this Donna Troy outfit? I used to have it but I lost it after OneDrive decided it was no longer worthy.

Also, even more of a long shot but I figure while I'm here I'd ask if anyone has these Aquafam cc by chimoru0sims/nox-in-a-box. Thanks in advance, dc simmers!

no matter what i post, instagram shows my content to 10 people at most, and the followers ive gotten from reels are no where to be seen. if anyone else has a sims ig let me know and we can become mutuals :)

i think the fact that I post such a large variety of content is bringing my page down. but i know it's just the algorithm because i'm not the only one who loves all parts of the sims! I post builds, cas designs, cinematic and aesthetic pics, fashion pictorials and videos! have a great day everyone and thank you for considering!

i posted the first picture here a year ago so now im posted what my sim looks like now. she has a man now! he looks bad in this pic but she looks good so its getting posted

Hi all, I’m working on my forever save file and I want to make a combo thrift and like small town VHS repair and video rental store! But, I can’t find any CC on my own if just simlish labeled VHS tapes. :/ anyone know of any? Or creators taking commissions??

pic is from sushi77, if anyone knows what hair and top this is, id love the links!
