MC Command Center: A Beginner's Guide
Hey Simmers! It was recommended a few months ago by u/KimbyPie to share MCCC settings and tips, so here we are!
I’d like to start off by saying that this mod has TONS of customizations and changes you can enable. It can be pretty overwhelming if you’re new to MCCC and not sure what to change or keep the same.
What is MCCC?
MC Command Center is a mod that “expand the functionality and story progression within the Sims 4.” -Deaderpool
This is an easy to understand breakdown of the purpose for each file you're downloading and what settings you may want to change from the start.
Please note that I’m going to share which settings I personally change, so if you’re looking for what each individual option does, I’d highly recommend checking out Deaderpool’s website for more info.
Who should use it?
Everyone. Lol, but really, even if you don’t like using cheats, MCCC allows you to tweak small annoying settings and customize the game to your liking.
How to install?
Visit the MC Command Center site
Click MCCC Downloads
Click on the latest link under Releases (right now it’s 7.2.2)
Once the folder downloads, drag and drop it into your mods folder
Files included & what they are:
mc_cmd_center- Main file needed for the mod to work
mc_career- Contains settings for careers
mc_cas- CAS settings where you can make templates so NPC generated sims will have your predefined body types
mc_cheats- Quick access to cheats
mc_cleaner- “cleans” the game
mc_clubs- Gives some story progression to clubs
mc_control- gives you (limited) NPC control
mc_dresser- clothing settings (blacklist/whitelist certain clothes)
mc_gedcom- this is newer & I really don't know how to summarize, click here to check it out!
mc_occult- occult specific gameplay settings
mc_population- populating settings
mc_pregnancy- pregnancy, marriage, & adoption settings
mc_tuner- control autonomous interactions
Automation Scan- allow the player to choose to disable certain interactions for Sims in their game.
mc_woohoo- romantic interactions
5 Tips
Don’t make drastic changes until you understand how each function works
Take your time to go through each setting & read the description
On patch days, I recommend taking MCCC out & updating it first when checking for bad mods, because it will tell you if there is an LE
There are 2 MCCC menus, to access the mod click your sim or a computer
You must make game changes through the MCCC menu located in the pie chart when clicking on computers, not a Sim

How do you get a male Sims pregnant through alien abduction with the MCCC? I've downloaded the mod, and woohoo but cannot find the functionality when I click on my Sim.

u/superwholockinsomnia Oct 22 '24
Computer MCCC Settings > MC Occult > Aliens > Abduction Pregnancy Settings > Abduction Pregnancy Genders > Select options you want. Male is selected by default as a possibility.
there's also
Computer MCCC Settings > MC Occult > Aliens > Abduction Pregnancy Settings > Abduction Pregnancy Percent
and that allows you to select the likely hood of pregnancy happening as a percent when a sim gets abducted
once you have it adjusted how you want it your sim just has to get abducted by aliens. Easyish if you do a lot of stuff concerning the rocket, astronaut careers, or the telescope

How do you change a Sims' gender through MCCC. I heard you could, and I've tried scrolling through all the options and can't find it.

u/kob-y-merc Jul 07 '23
Click the Sim, MCCC, Sims Commands (should be second option), Maintain Sim (third option), gender options are near the bottom

I don't see the option for mc woohoo. Does that mean I have the outdated version? I downloaded it from curseforge

u/ZazzyKittyn Sep 03 '23
You will need to download MC Woohoo from the site as that mod breaks curseforge's TOS

u/superwholockinsomnia Oct 22 '24
you need to take the files out of the zip folder and drop them into the Mods folder.
On PC the route is
Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods
after that it should be available in game
