Now we will get on to the actual
installing of mods.
Any. package file you have downloaded
will go in a folder called ‘Mods’. This
folder will not be there to start with,
as you have to create it yourself.
If you go to the above path
(Doc/EA/TS3/) you can create your
folder. Make sure you use the correct
capital/non-capital casing for the
letters!
Now, if you were to put a package
file inside the Mods folder, it wouldn’t
show up in the game and you’d be sat
there wondering what you did wrong. For
all .packages to show up in game, you
need a file called ‘resource.cfg’
this is in the
startup kit. Once downloaded, place
this inside the Mods folder you created.
Now that we have that set up, we can
now create another folder called
‘Packages’, (again the correct casing
for the letters). Just place this folder
inside the Mods folder.

4 support
questions
Q: My sims won't get naked
during sex?
A: The new versions of
the FFM is a little more
sophisticated now you can set the
nudity option for each sim. To do
this click your sim and choose
wicked than select from the settings
nudity options you can set it up in
there.
Q: Your drivable cars are not
drivable!
A: They are use your
imagination.
Q: But you can't drive them at
all?!
A: Welp blame EA for
being so damn lazy and making the
sims 2.5 instead of 4. You save up
for them, place them (which look
fantastic) than use them to travel
instantly to a location. That's how
it works in the sims 4 and it's the
best I can do.
Q: How do I install mods?
A: First of all
WINRAR
OR WINZIP IS REQUIRED TO EXTRACT
FILES if you install them manually.
CLICK BELOW TO DOWNLOAD.
WINRAR
WINZIP
RAR expander (MACS)
After starting the
game the 1st time the mods folder will be
created in your
C:\Users\yourname\Documents\Electronic
Arts\The Sims 4\Mods. Place all package
files into this MODS folder and do not
delete the resource.cfg. If you do start
the game again and it will regenerate.
Than in your games options (top right
corner of the home screen) select other options
and make sure both enable mods AND script mods is
checked. You will need to do this to
enable any custom mods including skins
and replacement textures to be used in
the game. Everytime you install a new
patch you will also need to do this.

100 % safe all it does is install
the package files to their correct
folders!)
When the screen to choose an
installation folder appears it

is which default is
C:\Users\yourname\Documents\Electronic

make sure this folder is correct and
update it it as necessary by

Now the screen to choose which files
appears click the arrows to open
drop down menus and select which
mods you would like to install.

Q: My game crashes when i load
it or other problems using mods?
A: move your mods
folder to the desktop, delete the
game cache and the
localthumbcache.package from the
Sims 4 folder to help with
troubleshooting (see below on how to
do that.)
Deleting the cache files will remove
all traces of mods and custom
content that were tied to your game.
Launch the game again and try a new
save to test - without the mods
folder. If it loads and plays okay,
it may be that some of the mods/cc
have become outdated.
Testing like this will help
determine if it's a mod issue, cc
issue or a vanilla game issue. -
Disabling or turning off both mod/cc
options isn't enough of a test.
To fix mods and custom content try
the 50/50 method:
1. Move all the mods and cc out into
a temporary folder on the desktop.
2. Move a few files back at a time.
Load the game to make sure it loads
and everything is good.
3. Delete the
localthumbcache.package from the
Sims 4 folder.
4. Repeat steps 1 - 3 till there is
no more files to check.
** While your testing, don't save
the game. If you find any problems,
delete the mod or custom content
file.
How To Find Problem Mods and CC -
http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:TS4_Finding_Problem_Custom_Content
Custom content can become outdated
with most new game patches. If the
game works when the Mods folder is
removed, then one or more of the
mods and/or custom content has
become outdated and will need to be
removed or replaced. Mods in the
super mod patch are no longer being
updated or maintained and will most
likely cause problems is used. Any
other mods that aren't working
please report
them!
Clearing The Sims 4 Cache
The Sims 4's game cache is located
at Documents/Electronic Arts/The
Sims 4/ on both PC and Mac.
1. Delete the
localthumbscache.package file in
this directory. This helps to "fix"
some gameplay bugs.
2. Go inside the cache folder and
delete all files that end in .cache,
but do not delete the actual
directory.
The .jpg files as well as the .dat
that you find in the cache folder
are safe to delete. These come from
viewing households/lots from the
gallery. If you play with the Online
Access Feature turned off, or play
offline, you may not have anything
in this folder.
3. Go back, then to the cachestr
folder. Delete all files here, but
again do not delete the actual
directory.
* It's okay to delete the
spotlight.package file.
4. The onlinethumbnailcache folder
is safe to delete IF it is present.
If you play in offline mode, you may
not see this folder. However, if you
forget to turn off Wifi before
starting the game, you will see the
folder. Same if you have the Online
Access Feature turned off or play
offline.
If you have an older Sims 4 folder
that still has the cachewebkit file
and lotcachedata folder you can
delete them. They're no longer
needed.
Embedded & Backup Save Data Cleaning
WickedWhims saves most of its data
internally, embedded within your
game save. Additionally, a copy of
that save data is stored externally
within the game ‘saves’ folder as a
backup that’s automatically used
when the embedded data is missing.
To clean your WickedWhims save data,
both internal and external, you only
need to use a command.
To remove the WickedWhims save data,
open up the in-game commands console
by pressing the CTRL+SHIFT+C keys
and typing the following commands,
one after another:
ww.reset_save_data sim
ww.reset_save_data sex_handlers
ww.reset_save_data world
Once all three commands have been
entered with a message of their
success, save and exit the game
