Check CC before installing
Run a pre-install scan on package files to catch conflicts, duplicates, missing meshes, and broken CC before they land in your Mods folder.
Before a mod goes into your Mods folder it is worth knowing whether it is going to cause problems. Check CC reads the actual contents of package files you pick and tells you what it found, before you ever drop anything into the game.
How to use it#
- Open Tools from the sidebar.
- Select Check CC.
- Press Pick files and choose one or more package files from wherever you downloaded them.
- Review the results.
- Press Check more files to run another batch without leaving the tool.
Understanding the verdicts#
Each file gets one verdict:
| Verdict | What it means |
|---|---|
| Safe to install | No issues detected. Good to go. |
| Conflicts found | This file conflicts with something already in your Mods folder. Look before installing. |
| Missing mesh | The package references a mesh that is not found. The item will appear invisible or broken in-game. |
| Missing dependency | A required resource is not present. |
| Already installed | This exact file is already in your Mods folder. |
| Scan needed | SimSweep needs an active scan of your Mods folder to compare against. Run a scan first. |
| Unreadable | The file could not be opened or parsed at all. |
A Conflicts found verdict does not automatically mean the file is bad. It means it overlaps with something you already have. Whether that overlap matters depends on what the mod does.
Summary bar#
At the top of the results you will see one of:
- All clear! if every file came back safe.
- with issues if some files need attention.
- Needs scan if SimSweep is missing the baseline it needs to compare against.
A few notes#
- Check CC only looks at the files you pick. It does not modify anything or move files anywhere.
- If you see Scan needed, head to the main scan and run it once. After that, Check CC has what it needs.
- You can pick files from anywhere on your computer, not just your Mods folder.
