The Sims 4 Custom Content
You downloaded The Sims 4 and have put in some serious hours into the game. Suddenly, you realize your Sims do not reflect you nor do they reflect the communities you are a part of.
What are you to do?Well, thankfully, the Sims community has an outstanding mod and custom content community. These people put hours and hours into creating mods and custom content that reflect various communities. Now, if you hadn’t figured it out already I am Black so this post will be geared towards helping other Black people who play the Sims (Black Simmers) find dope custom content for their Sims.Black SimblrLike with most things, once you find a connection point into an industry, community, or group then you are in. You suddenly become exposed to everything you had no clue you were missing out on. Finding custom content for Black Sims is no different. So far, the best entry point in is through Tumblr.
A lot of Black Sims 4 cc creators have made Tumblr their home to share their mods, custom content, role-plays, and let’s plays.

On the Black Simmer, Xmiramira has a vault that houses tons of custom content from various Black Simmers.
In order to gain access to the vault, you must be an active participant in the forum. After a certain number of posts, within the forum, the vault will be unlocked and you will have access to the custom content within the vaultNow don’t go in there trying to spam your way into the vault. Like actually engage with the community. In the forum people post their let’s plays, RP’s, Sims frustrations, WCIF (where can I find) help and much, much more. The game can feel pretty isolating if you are a part of a marginalized group, the Black Simmer brings you that home you didn’t realize you needed until you got it.Black Hair for Sims 4On Youtube, I created a video of the Black hairstyles I found for your Sims 4 sims.

The Sims 4 Custom Content Mac
However, I am a firm believer of respecting creators work. They don’t have to do this and they provide gigabyte, upon gigabyte, upon gigabyte of free stuff that makes the Sims 4 game better.
So please respect their TOU. If you can’t do that then don’t download the stuff. There are plenty of cc creators who don’t have a TOU.Girl, wrap this up alreadyOk, ok but before I wrap this up I must say please use caution when downloading cc’ing. Make sure your computer is secured up tight and be careful when navigating those ad links. I know it can get confusing and is very annoying but until EA get’s their stuff together and decides to work with the mod and cc community then this what we have to work with.
