Everything Maxis Match for your Children on Sims 4

Are you the kind of simmer who likes playing with toddlers and children but don't have content? Look no further my dears!

Sit down my lovelies! I'm about to blow your mind! (For those of you who don't use cc at least.)

I don't think I've ever clarified it before. But the following people I am about to list often have their accounts on either patreon, tumblr, or their own websites so please keep that in mind.

How does one download mods/add-ons to the Sims 4?

Download the cc, go to your documents, click on the sims 4 folder and then click on mods. Drag your downloads into your mods and you're done. It'll show up in your game, it'd be best to make folders to organize them all in case of problems.

Quick Glossary Terms:

_________________________________________________

MM- Maxis Match = custom content that looks like sims 4 textures/ like it was made by EA

CC- custom content (in sims 4 context) = goodies made by other fans and folks who know how to make video game objects, clothing, hair, game features etc. You can easily download it and just drop it in their mods folder unless they specify otherwise.

Poly- short for poly count or file size of cc. Basically how many polygons are in the cc. Higher numbers typically take a toll on your PC if it's not high end. But how high is too high? Depends on what it is. Jewelry is typically lower, but if it's for shoes, clothing or furniture you can expect it to be a little higher.

You can often tell if you have too much cc if your game is slow, if your game is slow even without cc, I recommend upgrading your computer or just stick to the game.

casteru

casteru is THE fairy godmother of MM toddler clothing.

I strongly advise you to check out their patreon, they do make clothing for adults as well and you can find that on their tumblr. You'll find a little bit for children and adults here and there. They mostly make clothing but you can also find some toddler and children hairstyles here and there.

I'm just going to link a few things to give you reference and you can go crazy scouring through their stuff.

Inspired by BTS Park Jimin's wardrobe if you can't already tell.

Madlen

If you deleted all your cc and had to start again from scratch the first creator you'd think to download would be Madlen.

If you've seen my posts before, you know how much I love Madlen, if Madlen was a brand in the Sims 4 universe they'd be a house hold name. They could have their own huge section in the mall like JC Penny or Old Navy. As Madlen doesn't simply make clothes, they do a little bit of everything. They have something for everyone, even kids.

Lately they've improved the quality of their textures but personally I'm a bigger fan of their previous textures.

Whenever Madlen releases an outfit for adults, you can usually expect a child and toddler sized version of the same outfit OR an exclusive individual outfit of their own.

I was really jealous of this one. Madlen made some really nice kid fits that I wish had adult sizes!

Now, I'm going to save you some time if you didn't already know.

How to find everything for children.

Instead of scrolling down just inspect the tags at the bottom of the linked post and click on "child" or "kids" and it will take you to everything you need (I just linked it so you can also just click on "kids" if you want.) Or you can type it into the search post, that you can find at the top of the page.

The Clutter Cat

At first I thought they were the Fairy Godmother of Characterized Clutter, but now I see it's furniture too.

The Clutter Cat makes content for people with distinct interests. Let's say this, not only do they make cc for children but people who are children at heart.

For example, if you want a mermaid (Part 1, Part 2) or pirate themed bathroom, go to The Clutter Cat. Aside from that they mostly have cultural and hobbyist inspired content, but today I will just give you what you came here for and it's the children. They don't have tags for you to find everything specifically so I'll just link it.

1. Farm Friends

Features a farm doll house that yes, your sims can play with.

2. Mellow Moods (This is for babies.)

3. Kawaii Kids (This is a clutter pack for kids but some of you adults may want it for your adult sims that like cute animal anime stuff.)

4. Baby Boo (This features adorable new baby furniture, hang out benches, toys and clutter)

5. Baby Boo II (This pack has more clutter, and a few furniture pieces that regardless of age I think many will love.)

6. Fairylicious (This is an adorable fairy tale themed child bedroom, starring a DIY cardboard castle and castle themed bunk beds. It was a collaboration with the legendary Felixandre, apparently the two creators know each other. I swear all the big cc creators seem to know each other somehow. It's crazy.)

And that's where their child cc ends for now.

So what better way to end this off than to switch to the previously mentioned Felixandre and his lovely partner in crime Harrie? Together they made a website called House of Harlix where you can find both of their stuff.

House of Harlix

Felixandre and Harrie are furniture creators so you can expect packs with lots of furniture stuff.

Together the two have collaborated to make a kids pack, Tiny Twavellers.

This pack features A LOT of adventure themed bedroom furniture (67 pieces to be exact). What's lovely about this pack is the attention to detail, not only does it feature kid stuff but baby stuff too!

The furniture in this pack, specifically the dressers and chairs can also be used by adults.

The highlights of this pack is definitely the wood branch details carved into the furniture, the dinosaur lamp, castle doll house, the desks, the canopies and also the little half open bed tent coverings.

Apart from this we know Fairylicious happened.

I would like to make a few honorable mentions and that's Felixandre's Shop The Look Season 1: It features some low floor sofas that are perfect for kids rooms. Then also their Soho Part 4 set, which is a bookstore themed collection, but the low chairs and cushions are perfect for children to sit and read!

Next up is from Harrie's collection.

The Coastal Collection Part Two (Pt. 2, of a pack that's themed after beachy Georgian, Craftsman and Cottage Styles). This collection is a child's playhouse and a sand pit, your kids can play in. That's it. The rest of stuff in this pack is mainly for building.

The Coastal Collection Part Five features baby cribs and toddler beds, small wardrobes and a chair with a foot rest for your tired mamas and papas.

Taurus Design

Next up is Taurus Design, they're underrated but considerably the poly count for their cc is pretty large so it's understandable if that's the reason. Even so they're pretty hard to ignore especially because their sets are refreshing- their luxury bedroom sets especially are so hard to ignore, finally all the super rich sims stories you wanted to make are now possible.

We'll start light with the Cafe Playhouse set.

Make sure you read the description and download the toy kitchen mod so you're little ones will be able to make proper use of the toy kitchen set. This 5 piece toy set consists of a cafe playhouse shell, a kitchen set, a child sized table with dining chairs and child sized bar stools.

Moving on. Next is School Playhouse. It features the shell of a school with a chalkboard and little desks for your kids to use but the star of this pack is the activity table. One you'll need to download Pandasama's crafting station mod (check the description) for your children and toddlers to use this multi-function desk.

When I saw this pack I remembered all the crap they had us make in school as a child, how fun it was and how this didn't exist in the Sims 4. Our children are truly out here getting robbed of their non-existent childhoods!

What else can I say but baby stuff? And more toddler beds.

Now this really made me want to cry when I saw it. Of course I passed up on using it but I don't think you'll be able to do the same for the following pack.

Why? Because this pack has a chair fort, a cat tree and AN INDOOR DOG PET HOUSE! You put it in the wall and it has it's own little room! So cute! This pack as a collective is a great steal with it's little tea party table, bunkbeds, desks, and book shelves but since my PC protested, I had to make some sacrifices. There's also a pet dish with three bowls! Never saw that before.

Simkoos

Clutter King.

They are a content creator that typically makes clutter but they also make children's clothes. Feel free to check them out. They don't really tag everything though so have fun with that.

clumsyalien

They make kids clothes but they seem to share it only on their tumblr? It's not tagged on their patreon so... have fun with that as well.

Adrien Pastel

They make a lot of grungy/normcore clothes and I am also in love with them. You can look for their children content by just typing in kids or child in the search post, or you can just click here

GegeSims

GegeSims make gorgeous and classy low poly hairstyles for sims with some melanin in them. And they also make them for kids. Why is she a big deal? Well normally when I try to download a textured hairstyle it's super high in poly, compared to others Gege's is lower.

Sunivaa

Like GegeSims Sunivaa makes hair that is just a moment.

(translation: It's flowy/has character)

She makes straight but also super wavy hair. Her hair isn't super high in poly but it's not super low either, she typically mentions the poly count of her hair styles before you download (most cc creators do as well, some don't though.) Personally I am fine with hair in between the 1- 15,000 range. If it's past 20,000 I am not going to install it. Not because I am mad at it I just have to consider my PC.

Ahem, Sunivaa converts her adult hairs for her kids and toddlers,

Don't forget to type in "kids" to search for all the kids related cc guys.

JohnnySims

A fairy Godfather of high quality male hair cc.

Johnny Sims makes high quality hair cc mostly for males, and some are unisex, sometimes the poly can get a little high though. I never see a lot of stuff for male sims so Johnny is a godsend.

Lillka (that's L-i-l-l-k-a)

I only recently discovered them, they make clutter, and clothing content for babies, toddlers and children. They have a lot of cartoon paintings and posters, as well that you can use to decorate your kids room.

Now I don't want to overstimulate you so I guess I could leave it at this?

Thanks for reading and please let me know if you loved any of the cc mentioned! I'll be back with a part 2.
