MCCC Settings > Set Age Span Duration: Want your pets to outlive your Sims? Want babies to stay as babies longer? (I question your sanity, if so.) This is the place to make it happen! I leave most of these as default, but their titles and descriptions are pretty informative if you're looking to try out other things! I caution adjusting Maximum Household Size as it can cause problems in CAS and hurt performance depending on your computer build/laptop. MCCC Settings > Gameplay Settings: This section covers a lot of different things. I do not recommend turning on auto-pay bills if you have Discover University as your student Sim will be charge for bills they shouldn't be. MCCC Settings > Money Settings: This one is also a pretty obvious one, but it essentially allows you to turn on things like Child Support, auto-pay for bills, adjust the cost of bills, and more.
“Console Command Settings > Build Buy Settings > Move Objects Enabled, Free Build Enabled, & Ignore Unlocks Enabled:“ Enabled I love this feature because I can get rid of anything in the world that gets in the way or causes problems for my Sims. Reasoning: This allows you to shift+click on any object and delete it from the game completely. “Console Command Settings > Debug Commands In Cheats:“ Enabled “Console Command Settings > Testing Cheats:“ Enabled You can pull up this option by shift+clicking on an NPC Sim. Reasoning: I like having the ability to fully edit townies with no restrictions and while still playing in my own household.
“Console Command Settings > Enabled Full Edit CAS:” Enabled In this category, you can determine whether or not certain cheats are always enabled. If you enjoy using cheats, I highly recommend checking out TwistedMexi’s All Cheats Mod. *NEW* MCCC Settings > Notification/Console/Menu Settings: This category focuses on various cheats that people commonly use when playing The Sims 4. "Breakup Settings > Breakup Move-out Sim:" Random Sim "Breakup Settings > Spouse Relationship Change Percent:" 10 "Breakup Settings > Couple Relationship Change Percent:" 20 Here, you can customize various aspects of Sim relationships to your liking. MCCC Settings > Relationship Settings: This category focuses on exactly what it says. Script files will not work correctly if they are layered beneath too many folders.
However, Mods > MCCC 7.1.0 > Career Settings > mc_career.ts4scripts is NOT OK. For instance, Mods > MCCC 7.1.0 > mc_career.ts4script is OK.
IMPORTANT: In the Mods folder, do not put.
If you're new to the modding world (your life is about to change forever), this guide is a great place to learn exactly how to download mods.
If you do not have the mod yet, make sure you head over to MCCC's designated website and download it.
If you're primarily interested in story-progression and NPC automation (pregnancies, relationships, marriage, etc.), I recommend skipping to MC Population and working from there. You can modify just about every aspect of the game to your liking. Overall, it's an incredible mod, and if it's your first time dipping your toes into all it covers, fret not! As you get more comfortable with it, you'll be able to fine-tune your Sims experience to be exactly what you'd always hoped it would be (or pretty dang close). In my example settings, you will find I also use the mod to adjust things like Friendship Decay (the amount of time it takes for a friendly relationship to deplete) and employment percentages for each age group. It also has the ability to "clean" or remove items such as that pesky eyeball ring from NPCs' outfits.
MCCC, or MC Command Center, is a mod most people use to create automated story-progression with NPCs or previously played households. Those playing on laptops, I recommend keeping groups of Sims to the game's default. If you are concerned about performance for larger groups of Sims, I've included my computer build at the bottom of this post for reference. A quick search for 'mccc sims 4 guide' brings up a few different video options that might be a better fit for you. If you are more of a visual learner, there are some videos out there that can help as well! I'm more of a reader myself. Now that I've tweaked and adjusted the mod in my game for about six months, I feel confident providing others who were like me a more detailed guide of the mod. All I really wanted was a list of settings to attain story progression in my game that also detailed exactly what each setting did. This stemmed from me originally being completely overwhelmed by the mod when I first got it. I had the idea of doing a detailed breakdown of what the mod MCCC is by Deaderpool, as well as providing my personal in-game settings detailing exactly what each of them does. EDIT: I have since updated this post with more categories and settings! Anything new is marked with "*NEW*".
