With the release of The Sims 2, EA/Maxis began referring to user-made content as "custom content", and the usage caught on.

The term "custom content" generally wasn't used when talking about content for The Sims, but much was made and quite a lot is still available. Custom content has always been a part of The Sims series, at least for the PC and Mac games in it.
