'''Custom content''' is fan-generated content made by players for players. Custom content has always been a part of [[The Sims (series)|''The Sims'' series]], at least for the PC and Mac games in it. The term "custom content" generally wasn't used when talking about content for ''[[The Sims]]'', but much was made and quite a lot is still available. With the release of ''[[The Sims 2]]'', EA/Maxis began referring to user-made content as "custom content", and the usage caught on.
''The Sims'' does not distinguish between custom content and Maxis content, but ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims 3'' do. In these games, custom content is marked with a "star", which is basically an asterisk. In ''The Sims 4 c''ustom content is marked by a wrench icon.
In ''The Sims 2'', players who wish to use custom content must specifically enable it, and must re-enable it after adding a new [[expansion pack]] or stuff pack. For players with ''Nightlife'' or later, or any stuff pack, the dialog which allows this must be enabled in [[Game option#The Sims 2 and Expansion Packs|Game Options]]. Players who want to use custom [[buy mode]] and [[build mode]] objects must also go into Game Options and tell the game to show custom content in the catalogs. Players who want to use recolors of Maxis buy and build objects must use the [https://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=92541 Color Enabler Package] from modthesims.info .

== Tips ==
* Keep downloaded files organized and the number small. Custom content can consume too much [[Wikipedia:Random-access memory|RAM]]. It also makes it easier to track down problems.
* Keep all your game mods updated, ESPECIALLY any script mods. Old script mods can and will break your game. Keep track of which website you download your content from, and check for a new version whenever the game is patched.
* If your game fails to load, remove all your custom content or move it to another folder for backup where the game will not use it. Once you have your vanilla game working again, use the 50/50 method to put your mods back.
