InThe Sims 4,massive amounts of content, such as new outfits or accessories, are locked behind DLC paywalls likeexpansion packs or kits.However, talented community members create custom content, or fan-made items, completely for free.

One of the best places to look for custom content for the Sims 4 is on a website called Curse Forge, since you can safely download a massive catalog of content that is separated into multiple categories. If you are curious about some of the best content on Curse Forge for Create-A-Sim, check out the list below.

An image from The Sims 4 of Custom Content called the Sneakers Male A1, which are a pair of male shoes modeled after real life sneakers.

Curse Forge and Overwolf isofficially supported by EAwho state that “Overwolf will provide players with a safe, moderated, custom content hub to download and share player creations with the community.”

If you have played the Sims 4 for some time, you may notice a suspiciously small amount of sneakers and casual footwear available for your male Sims. While some outfits do call for a fancy pair of shoes, you may want a reliable, plain pair of sneakers.

VHSync is a content creator on Curse Forge who creates a plethora of different shoes for both male and female sims, all inspired by real-world sneakers and footwear. The A1 Sneakers are specifically inspired by a famous pair of Nike shoes, but also come in plain black and white swatches for you to enjoy.

While there are many kits and stuff packs that add various makeup to the game, players with only the Base Game installed may find the makeup options outdated and limited. Luckily, twistedcatcc provides many different custom content creations focused on makeup and different face details.

The Glow Makeup Set adds a new eyeshadow that comes in multiple shades and even includes a glowing beam down the center of the makeup. While this glowing beam may look strange in typical gameplay, it works perfectly with differentpose mods,since the makeup mimics a ray of sunlight hitting the face.

In the base version of the Sims 4, there are no makeup options that allow you to apply eyelashes to your Sims. Instead, certain eyeshapes come with a large, chunky eyelash that many members of the community find abrasive.

Enter miikocc’s eyelash packs, which add detailed eyelashes that you can combine to create gorgeous makeup looks. By heading to the face details section of Create-A-Sim, you can select which eyelash you want as your base, and even select a second to stack the two looks together.

While this next custom content may not be for everyone, miikocc’s Elena Eyes can completely change how your Sims look. In The Sims 4, the art style is a combination of a cartoon aesthetic blended with realistic elements.

Due to this art style, Sim’s eyes lack overall detail, so many different custom content creators have gone out of their way to create custom eyes for your Sims. You can even download these new eyes as replacements for the Base Game versions, meaning that all the Sims in the world will spawn with brand-new eye textures.

With the So Creamy custom content pack by twistedcatcc, you can use an assortment of new face details to make your Sims look more realistic.

Specifically, the So Creamy pack adds eyebags that you can place all around your Sim’s eyelid, thus making the entire face more lifelike. Furthermore, this pack also comes with face details that completely smooth out the skin, making the Sim look like they applied makeup on their face.

Sadly, there is typically a smaller selection of custom content that is made for male sims. Luckily, creators such as johnnysims have dedicated their custom content catalog to hairstyles inspired by famous male celebrities, athletes, and fashion models.

The Ross hair is one of their more downloaded creations, since it is inspired by singer Ross Lynch. If this particular hairstyle does not suit your needs, then you are still in luck, as this creator has hundreds of more choices for you to browse through.

Sometimes, when you are playing the Sims 4, you may want your sim to wear a simple and elegant dress for a date night or formal event. However, many of the clothes can be unrealistic or completely over the top, which is where the Thalia Dress by Sentate comes in.

Sentate is a custom content creator that has a large catalog of different outfits and accessories inspired by real-life fashion. On top of elegant dresses and jewelry, Sentate also has many basic outfits that come in a variety of colors, so you always have a simple and clean outfit that can match any mood.

If you have been downloading custom content for your Sims, then chances are you have heard of the creator named aharris00britney. This custom content creator has hundreds of different custom hairstyles for female and male sims that they have painstakingly created.

While the Kenna Hairstyle is this creator’s most downloaded female hair, there are a plethora of other hairstyles you can choose from, and some even come with custom colors or accessories. The best part about aharris00britney’s CC selection is the length of the female hairs, as many of the Base Game hairstyles tend to fall on the shorter side.

While many custom content creators release their creations separately, others collaborate and release packs of custom content around a central theme. Just take the Secret Society Collection by Quirky_Introvert and Aretha as an example.

This custom content pack centers around a dark academia theme, so all the clothes and hairstyles feature a darker color palette and are generally more edgy. Furthermore, if you happen to like only one or two creations in the pack, most creators allow you to download only the items you want.

Another great custom content collaboration is the Sweater Weather Collection by Quirky_Introvert and Oakiyo. This custom content pack focuses on providing you with comfy outfits that can be wornwhen the seasons changein your game.

Since there is only a small amount of cold-weather clothing available in the game, anyone who has the Seasons Expansion Pack should seriously consider downloading this collection. On top of the gorgeous outfits, many of the shirts also come as accessories, allowing you to further customize the colors of your outfits.
