When I first added MC Command Center I honestly had no clue what I was doing either, so I’ll explain how I got used to it. You can open the mod by clicking on your mailbox, a computer, or directly on a Sim. Each one has slightly different options – the mailbox is good for world settings, the computer is more household focused, and clicking a Sim lets you tweak that Sim specifically.
The features I personally use the most are story progression (it makes townies actually get married and have babies), the pregnancy settings (you can change how long pregnancy lasts or even allow same-sex pregnancy), and bills/taxes. It also comes in handy when I want to reset a Sim that’s stuck or quickly adjust skills without opening the cheat bar.
My advice: don’t try to mess with every menu right away. Pick one thing that bugs you in your gameplay, fix that through MCCC, and then slowly try out more. That’s how I got comfortable with it.

When I first put MC Command Center in my game I was totally lost too, so you’re not the only one. The way it works is kind of hidden.
You won’t see a big pop-up menu when you launch the game, instead you’ve got to click on things inside the world. Mailbox, computer, or a Sim. Took me a bit to figure that out.
Mailbox is where you’ll find all the “big world” controls like aging, story progression, population culling.
On a computer you’ll get household settings, and when you click directly on a Sim you can do stuff like reset them, change their career, or bump skills.
The parts I actually use:
>Story progression, because otherwise all the townies just stand still forever. With it on, they get married, have kids, move around, which makes saves feel alive.
>Pregnancy tweaks, like risky woohoo or setting how many days pregnancy lasts.
>Bills, because sometimes I want an easy save and sometimes I want a challenge.
>And the quick reset, which is a lifesaver when a Sim glitches.
Honestly my advice is don’t open every menu at once. That’s what I did and it was a headache. Just decide on one thing you want to change — for me it was bills — fix that, then play a while.
Once you see how it works, go back and poke around more. It’s basically a huge toolbox, but you don’t need to use every single tool right away.
