If a creator says their CC is a recolour, make sure you also have the mesh for it. Creators can recolour existing Maxis content in the game, or custom meshes made by other creators. Recolour: A recolour is exactly what it sounds like. Creators will link to any separate mesh downloads you need, so follow the link to download the mesh. If a creator says that their CC requires a mesh, it means you need to download the shape of that object from somewhere else.

Everything in The Sims needs both a shape (mesh) and at least one colour (texture) to show up properly in your game. Mesh: Without getting too techy, think of a mesh as the shape or skeleton of an object. Since CC doesn’t touch the game code, it rarely needs to be updated, but in some cases, you might need to update or remove broken CC as well. It simply adds more Create-A-Sim items and Build/Buy objects to the game. Unlike mods, CC does not change the way your game behaves.

CC can be anything clothes, hair, skins, eyes, makeup, new build/buy objects, etc. CC is content created by fans of the game.
