Re: custom content eyebrows, but I never download CC

Thank you so much for your reply!

im almost completely positive it’s CC, because it features colours I’ve never seen EA use, at least not in the order they’re displayed. And they’re definitely not even remotely similar to maxis match. I completely redownloaded my game on a completely empty computer, and they still showed up, without ever transferring over saves. Is there anyway there’s a sim in my saved gallery bin in the online features that could somehow have these very arched, flat, colourful brows that somehow keeps creeping back in? Or at the least, is there any new eyebrows with Realm of Magic that gave zero detail and are basically just strips of brown? I would include a picture but I uninstalled the game again in another bout to get rid of them 

They look slightly similar to this, a little thicker, with multiple different colours and thicker fronts, as well as no texture. It shows up in the eyebrow catalog as the very first eyebrow, if that provides any context. If anyone’s first set of eyebrows looks a little similar to this, and looks like CC please let me know 

@PerfectPlumbobs

This is similar because each CC is created on the basis of an EA object.
These are definitely EA eyebrows, but for some small error, you have these eyebrows of a different color. Why such a color. Have you not chosen to test in CAS sim with such a hair color? The eyebrow color in CAS is automatically set as the sim hair color in CAS unless you manually change this option. Choose a random sim with black hair for testing in CAS and look for those eyebrows.

The TS4 is constructed so that no CC will even close to your game if you don't add it yourself. It won't get to the gallery either. You can send to the Gallery a sim with CC hair that will be visible in his photo but in the Gallery, he will be bald for every player who downloads him. Another simple way to check this is to send a sim to the Gallery with these eyebrows. If this is CC Galeria will immediately mark this sim with a blue key and for anyone who will download it, she will not have these eyebrows.

@PerfectPlumbobs 

Here are your eyebrows. This was added to the game - with the Realm of Magic pack.

@kreatoraI’m so sorry, that’s not them. I wish I saw that! Then I wouldn’t even have to wonder where they came from because they look like other EA eyebrows but thank you endlessly though.

I think this further confirms that it’s definitely cc. I hate to keep harping on the texture, but the ones I have look like bad cc, absolutely flat, no hairs or details, shadows or light, it’s pretty bad.
Even when my sim has standard black hair, the thumbnail will always have orange eyebrows, even when set to match hair colour, an even when not selected, but not the other eyebrows in my game. It definitely performs differently, so with that being said, how in the world can I get them out?

@PerfectPlumbobs  So you're saying that these eyebrows show up in a completely clean game folder, with no added content whatsoever?  There's no need to reinstall the game; removing the Sims 4 folder from Documents\Electronic Arts is enough.  Custom content is installed into this folder, so if you don't put anything in there, you won't have any cc.

And I'd still like to see a screenshot of the eyebrow you're referencing.  If your in-game screenshot function doesn't do justice to the eyebrow, put your game in windowed or windowed borderless mode, click somewhere on your desktop, then hit Windows key-shift-S, and drag your cursor over the section of screen you want to capture.  You can then open Paint or another image-editing app, and ctrl-V to paste the image.  Please attach it to a post, so I can compare it with my own game.

Hi! thank you so much for your constant help. I took your advice, started removing the folder, and then when they still showed up I deleted all the packs and began downloading them one by one. Turns out they show up with Realm of Magic. If anyone has that pack and can verify this is what theyre supposed to look like and I don't have a weird half rendered version of them with incorrect thumbnails, that'd be awesome. So sorry for the false CC alarm

(the eyebrows are the ones in the top left corner)

@PerfectPlumbobsThose are in game normally. They're not CC.

Normally CC is indicated by a wrench on the icon:

However, for some reason my own CC eyebrows don't have the wrench. Bug maybe?

Those eyebrows though are NOT cc.
