The part i don't get is what to name the folders. I understand how to make the resource file and make changes, etc.

I'm a little confused on the instructions. Cut and pasted over the existing info that starts with Priority 500, so it looked just like that, and it worked like a charm. I opened the cfg file in the game with Notepad, which comes with any Windows computer. I made a copy of the cfg file first in case I made an error. This will allow you a directory structure of up to 5 levels deep within the mods folder for sorting. (Save a copy of it first.) Edit it to read: To do this go to the mod folder and open the resource.cfg file in a text editor. If you wish to use subfolders to help sort it out, you will have to edit the resource.cfg file. 'Just for people understanding, mod folder in the Sims 4 Demo does not allow the us of subdirectores for sorting of mods and recolors. Considering that one cc house could have dozens of files, along with all the other downloaded cc, this would be quite a mess, and very difficult to identify and remove content you no longer want or that may be causing a conflict. I thought I'd share this little jewel of info I found in the comment section posted by Billye Gilbert at SimNation blog on how to create subfolders in Sims 4, since it's currently set up where the player has to install all custom content in the Mods folder. Or, Downloads -> Female Hair -> Peggy Hairstyle -> (and a subfolder for each hairstyle with pics) Or, Downloads -> Furniture -> Living Room -> (and a subfolder for sets, ie, Steffor Set, Chloe Set,Ygg Set with pics) I recalled the early mess of thousands of files in my Sims 2 Downloads folder before I learned I could make subfolders within in it, such as:ĭownloads -> Clothes Male -> Adults -> Casual -> (and subfolders in this one by artist or style, ie SBB, Costumes, etc)

On a related note, here is also useful tip on how you can use the mklink command to move the /Mods folder to a different drive if you run out of space.
