I've had more problems with THE SITES THAT HAVE THE CUSTOM CONTENT themselves. However i have wiped my computer a few times before, but each time was caused by something different, not the CC itself (hopefully). The Sims has an amazing modding community and i've never encountered CC that's broken my game completely to the point of me having to uninstall and reinstall everything. A number of problems can happen if you're not careful and if you're entirely new to the exchange. If you're a totally new player downloading whatever you find pretty off of the exchange you might find a lot of unwanted content in your game such as unwanted custom skin tones, modded or bugged clothes to make sims look completely nude, clothing that doesn't mesh correctly and clips with your sims or objects in game, ect. Since the exchange can't determine CC Custom Content from a third party site (such as Mod the Sims or Sims Recource) and Official Store Content CC (what's for purchase/on sale on ), a lot of custom content on the exchange is completely unregulated and you really have to depend on the creator to tell you whether or not there's custom content in their creation.īecause of this unregulted CC that gets past the Exchange you can encounter a world of wonder and a world of problems.

Official content aside, you can also download stuff from the Sims 3 exchange (on the Sims 3 website) in the form of these Sims 3 package files. A more complex item like a bedroom set or a compilation will take a little longer to download because they have multiple pieces to them. Depending on what you got you can get anywhere from a single item (a dress for example) or an entire set (like a bedroom set or compilation/collection for example).Ī single item (the dress let's say) is a single item and should download easily into your game via the launcher.

Sims 3 Package Files are what you would get with Sims 3 store content when you download them into your game. As far as i know there are Sims 3 Package Files and extracting zipped folders, though i'm clueless about the latter. Custom Content or CC for short can be pretty tricky with TS3.
