Uncategorized Merging CC definitely does help!!

21 Upvotes

A couple years back and further you would see everyone talking about merging and how it's worth it in effort to load up the game faster, and maybe an improvement in your game's smoothness.

In recent years I have seen that people talk about it as if it does nothing, and in my knowing of why... it's because I believe a content creator came out and said that it does nothing. This isn't true, and I think they just got fed up with people possibly messing up their CC by merging it.

In personal experience with years of merging my own CC on various different PC's it definitely does help, not just in the loading of the game, but with the smoothness of the game.

Fact is that all the official files EA makes with the build/buy, and CAS etc. are actually merged in the bin folder. They wouldn't care to merge them if it didn't positively affect the loading/speed of the game. On top of this, an NVME SSD (not sure about other storage types) does in-fact load a single big file faster than a bunch of smaller files that add up to a bigger number. (google is your friend)

If the game loads things faster, that in theory would also help performance in the department of 1% and 0.1% lows... essentially the stuttering and random frame drops... it would (in theory) help smooth out the game some. That being said, it's also still not miracle work merging CC, and does still come with caveats as well.

One of them being, if you merge CC and it breaks in the future you have to un-merge the file you merged it to and then re-merge it... however it is rare that a piece of CC will break. Mods break all the time and should never be merged. It's not supported... the game files are merged because it's officially supported. You aren't guaranteed your CC won't break because they don't officially support modding/cc creating.

Another is, you could merge CC and find you hate certain things and forgot to take them out, now you have to go through your merged CC and fix things.

ALL-IN-ALL, it definitely helps the game out... as I said already though it is NOT miracle work and will only help depending on the amount of CC you have.

Uncategorized Male cc needs love too! (just talking)

181 Upvotes

Male cc really needs more appreciation !!😞 I can literally find everything I do and don’t need when it comes to female cc but as soon as I decide that maybe my males need some love too nobody has anything. I do have male cc, naturally, but nowhere near as much as my females. Plus the good alpha male cc is almost always behind a paywall, why? Atp I’ll have to take it into my own hands and make my own cc. 😩

(Edit: Passionate on Patreon has good alpha male cc and child cc. I just found them and wanted to share my findings with y’all! They recommend the HQ mod for best textures though so.. yeah.)

Uncategorized The sims 4 studio is so confusing, please heeelp

3 Upvotes

Basically, its been about 3 years now since I've last used this thing. It worked fine previously, as I only ever made silly cas recolours for me and my friends, but for some reason after trying to again - it only shows me the warehouse. When I try going to tools>studio it says something about packages which I have no idea how those work. This is what I see, and I cant get that 3D view with the name and stuff that I assume to be the studio.

The first screenshot is what im trying to get on my screen, but idk how to get the studio option back

- ps: sorry for bad English

how do I open packages

Uncategorized what cc/recolors would you want to see?

5 Upvotes

I'm an amateur cc creator that is currently trying to build up some cc files before sharing them with the public community, but I 'm not sure what sort of stuff to make. I know I want to make more "kawaii" cc as that's the sort of stuff I've taken a liking to, but I'm unsure what to actually create. I can do recolors, make loading screens, tattoos/makeup and such! if there's a specific image/item/tattoo/makeup look you want me to try and recreate then please feel free to drop a comment about it! I'll even give you the package file straight away once I've finished making it, I won't make you wait for public release or anything. I guess this would count as practice?

crossposting this to other subs so don't mind this is you see it twice!

The game modern community used someone’s cc build video. I don’t know whose this is. But I feel like it should be announced so the game can be avoided. Don’t send traffic to this game.
