Adding Downloads To The Sims 4

There are TWO folders for custom content in The Sims 4:

YOUR NAME\My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Tray

This folder is for Lots and Sims

YOUR NAME\My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods

This folder is for other content, recolors, walls, floors, scripts etc

You can create subfolders within the Mods folder to organize your content; if either folder is missing from your The Sims 4 folder then just create one (make sure you check the spelling). If you accidentally delete the Resource file just start your game to get a fresh one!

File Types

There are a number of different file types for The Sims 4 custom content, you'll need to place them in the correct folder so they will show up:

Recolors, Walls & Floors

.package (Mods)

Lots & Sims

.trayitem (Tray)

.blueprint (Tray)

.bpi (Tray)

Sims

.hhi (Tray)

.sgi (Tray)

.householdbinary (Tray)

Script Files

.pyo (Mods - zipped)

Script files must stay inside the zip file they are downloaded in. If your browser automatically unzips downloaded zips you will need to re-zip them before using them.

It is worth noting that we do not have any script files on Parsimonious, nor are we likely to in the future!
