What is the MC Command Center (MCCC) in Sims 4?
The MC Command Center or MCCC (sometimes referred to as MCMM) is easily one of the most popular mods for Sims 4. Not only do most simmers own this mod, but nearly all players find the game unplayable without it. But, why is this the case? Why is the MCCC such an important mod for Sims 4?
The MC Command Center (MCCC/MCMM) is a large Sims 4 mod or rather a group of mods. Once installed, it can be found easily in-game. The mod has many different functions and features. You can use it to change the clock in your game or to make your Sim pregnant. It also replaces all cheat commands.
In other words, the MCCC mod is the only one you need in Sims 4 if you aren’t a big fan of mods and extensions. It features literally everything you’ll ever need to make your gameplay smooth and engaging, so it’s definitely worth the try.
Later in this post, I’ll go over all the settings and features the MC Command Center mod has for The Sims 4. You’ll see what you can expect from this extension and how it can benefit your particular gameplay.
Is MC Command Center / MCCC a Script Mod?
There are script mods and there are regular mods in Sims 4. Many of the mods you’ll find on the internet aren’t script mods, since they’re lighter and only do one thing. However, the MCMM mod is different.
The MC Command Center (MCCC) is a script mod in Sims 4. This is because MCCC doesn’t build on the already existing code from the game. Instead, the developer of the MC Command Center has written unique lines of code. And because of that, the mod changes the core of how the game works.
There are many other script mods for Sims 4. For example, the Road to Fame mod and all the slider mods are also script mods. However, MCMM is much more than all of them because it’s a complete mod.

How to get started with MCCC In the game?
Once you have downloaded it and had your scripts and custom content enabled, start playing the Sims 4. Go to any household, and everything went well, once you start playing the game, you will find a message in the notification menu in the upper right corner saying ‘’Welcome to MC Command Center’’.If MCCC doesn’t work right away, just restart your game.
To quickly test if the mod is working, click on your Sim or your household computer and look for a ‘’MC Command Center’’ option. MCCC is a safe and free mod and is updated every now and then, so check for updates from time to time to elevate your use of it and update your current version with new assets.
One of the best things about the mod is that it gives you full freedom to apply any of the settings as you like, and every adjustment you make is completely reversible.
All mod options give you a chance to choose whether you want the setting to apply to non-playing Sims, the active household only, only those you play, or all Sims. Besides these options, you can always choose a default MCCC setting, but also completely enable or disable any of the MCCC options. Now, let’s explore the option it offers!
How to Access MC Comand Center in the Game?
There are two ways to use MCCC whilst in the game: by clicking on a Sim, or, household computer. In both cases, you will get an additional interaction button, the MC Command Center. Clicking on it will open a drop-down menu of all MCCC options available. However, the menu you open will look different depending on how you open the command center.
If you click on the Sim, this will open the MC Comand Center called the Sim Menu, which shows all added commands and allow you to experiment more with your active Sim. This will open a new window with data about your Sim (their age, career, marital status) where you can scroll down and choose various mod options, such as Modify Household in CAS, MC Cheats, Flag Active Sims, MC Pregnancy, etc.
However, you won’t be able to adjust general settings. To do that, you’ll have to open an MC Command Center on the computer, which will open a menu called MCCC Settings. In this case, know that the changes can impact not only the household or the Sim you are playing but all Sims in your game. You can also type mc_settings on the console to open the same settings menu.
