Tutorial: How to Create a Working Overrides Folder in the Sims 4
It occurred to me while I was making my Police Station Criminals are Criminals Mod that some folks out there may not know how to create a working Overrides folder.
And if you don't know what that is, it's basically a folder that you can use to resolve (some) conflicts between mods that edit the same tuning resources. So, like I mentioned in the post for the criminals mod, although that mod technically edits some files that are also edited in Zero's No Randoms mod, you can easily make the two compatible by making my mod load last. Nothing else in Zero's packages relies on anything in the specific file I edited, so making mine load last and override that part of Zero's package won't break anything.
If you're familiar with the Sims 3's modding scene, the process for doing this is basically exactly the same as it was for that game. Add a new folder in your Mods called Overrides, and then update your resource.cfg to give that folder priority. If you're not familiar, don't worry: we'll go step by step.
What you'll need:
The Sims 4
A plaintext editor like Notepad (Windows) or TextEdit (Mac)
5 minutes
Step 1: Run the game at least once and enable mods
This will make sure you have a Mods folder created, and that when you add mods to it, they'll load in-game.
Step 2: Navigate to your Mods folder in File Explorer or Finder
The Mods folder will generate inside of your user files folder. If you're unsure where this folder is, Crinrict has lots of good information on where to find it and what it contains here.
Long story short: this is usually in "Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4" on Mac and PC, but may be located elsewhere if you did an advanced install.
If the Mods folder doesn't generate, you can add one inside of the Sims 4 folder through normal means.
Step 3: Create a new folder inside Mods named "Overrides"
You can actually name it whatever you want. I typically name mine "_Overrides" because then it shows up at the top of my Mods folder when things are sorted alphabetically by folder/file name.
Step 4: Open your Resource.cfg
Make sure you're opening it in Notepad or TextEdit; programs like Microsoft Word or other rich text editors may cause problems with the file. It should look like this by default:
Step 5: Edit your Resource.cfg to assign priority to your new folder
Below the code that already exists, add a couple of new lines, then a new line that says "Priority 1000". This is telling the game to give a higher load priority to a new set of files and subfolders that we will now define.
Copy the last 5 lines from the "Priority 500" block and paste them beneath the "Priority 1000" one. Replace the first asterisk in each line under "Priority 1000" with the name of your overrides folder. If you named the folder "Overrides" it should look like this:
If you named it "_Overrides" or something else be sure to reflect that. Be careful with the slashes here; the placement is important.
Step 6: Save Resource.cfg
In Notepad, you can do ctrl+S or click File > Save. Close the text editor.
Step 7: Add the files you want to load last to the Overrides folder.
And add the other files as normal.
Rely on modders to address whether conflicts with other mods can be addressed this way (unless you have tuning experience; in which case you might be able to determine whether or not this will work for yourself). If you're unsure, ask the creator(s) of one of the mods.
As I said before, there are lots of conflicts that this strategy alone will not be able to fix. And since unresolved/poorly-resolved mod conflicts can break stuff depending on the circumstances, I encourage you to:
Step 8: Backup your saves and TEST
Make sure to create a backup of your favorite saves before loading up the game. Test the two conflicting mods alone together in a fresh save before trying it with your actual saves.

Hello hello !
Let's enter Ruben's Office this month !
Full of storage and clutter, this set brings you a lot of pieces to make your offices feel busy and messy. I feel like I'm in a Hotwheels era by doing furniture on wheels very often those last months with the Pro kitchen and now those storage units, but I really like the details it adds. For the opened display unit, I've made a ton of book piles variations, which may be very useful for other types of bookcases ! There's also slots on top of the laying books of those piles so you can add extra decorations on it, or stack more books.
This kind of office wouldn't be complete without famous designer chairs, so you will find the Standard chair (which I love so much) and the Direction Chair by Jean ProuvĂŠ.
I wanted to create this kind of flooring for a while, and I've made two versions of it. One in a good state, and one torn version. Various swatches will let you create friezes alongside walls or at the center of your room !
I had a lot of fun creating this set (even if making several variations of the same items can be boring sometimes), so I hope you will enjoy using it in your builds !
You can find the items by searching for Ruben's OFFICE or Pierisim in game.
Some items share the same textures so make sure to have the packages finishing by "texture" in your mod folder :)
Use bb.moveobjects
add the files to your âTrayâ folder
I set up the schedule and roles, there is a special role for your characters, because if you set regular roles for your characters, they will be difficult to manage.
I also set up special clothing for the camp director, since according to EA settings, he wears underwear most of the time. đ¤¨
I put a buffet table in the dining room, but you need to know that only a teenager or older can serve food
Bringing you five new doors! This time Iâve blended in some oil painting and graffiti elements to create something a little special. Iâve also added keychains to the doorsâhope youâll enjoy them!
Only part of the set is shown in the previewâhope youâll discover some little surprises in the game!
