Whether your sim is always tardy or they easily lose track of time, CC clocks are a helpful way to keep them on task and make their homes even cozier.
350 CC Items! Time to celebrate! 🎉
Before we begin: Thank you! We’re celebrating 3 years and 350+ CC items. As a gift, supporters can get all our free CC at once here: ALL IN ONE DOWNLOAD
Happy new year, simmers! 2024 is drawing to a close and soon we’ll be counting down to the start of 2025. If you have the Seasons expansion you’ve probably celebrated with your sims time and time again, approaching every season change with enthusiasm for what’s to come.
As we count down the seconds to the year’s end let’s give our sims more options to do the same in their world. While most of us have a clock within reach 24/7 thanks to mobile phones, there’s something about having a physical timepiece you can look at that gives a sense of comfort and grounding you don’t get from a backlit screen. For many of us it reminds us of older relatives and their homes from a time before cell phones, and makes us feel cozy.
Our Favorite CC Clocks
Since clocks don’t work in The Sims 4 the way they have in previous games, not every CC clock keeps time. Some are purely decorative while others have independent animations, and some even use mods to keep accurate time! We’ve got a little bit of everything with this list so you can find the timepiece that’s right for you and your sims.
