Welcome!

This is my collection of creation resources and tutorials that I have gathered on my own journey as a CC creator. Since this is my own collection, it does not include all resources available and is heavily focused on CAS. I hope you use this to start your cc and mod journey!

If you'd like to add something to the notebook, feel free to submit a link on my blog.

Notes (as of Dec 25, 2021):

• This is for Sims 4 Mods and CC only!
  • However, there might be some tutorials that include conversions from previous Sims versions.
• This does not cover edits or Blender renders.
• I have never made a mod before, but have gathered all the tutorials I can find! Let me know if I missed something important.

How to navigate: Use the search bar and bread crumb menu to navigate between pages.

Where to start?

Custom Content Creators

There are a ton of resources out there and it can be really overwhelming! If you have never made CC before, I would recommend starting with Recolor Tutorials. While you do not alter the mesh for a recolors, it very helpful to review CC Fundamentals Tutorial: Mesh, UV Map, & Texture to get a good foundation of what CC actually is.

If you're comfortable with recolors and would like to begin making your own meshes, start with Blender Tutorials and Frankenmesh Tutorials.

Mod Creators

To start making basic mods, you need to be familiar with XML and S4 Studio files. Check out Sims 4 Mod Tutorial Database to get started!
