so i have some troubles to make some cc show up in game& what i noticed is that some depth of subfolders might have something to do with itthe same cc does work in game if i put it nearer the direct Download folderin TS3 i can tell the game in the Ressource.cfg how deep it has to look for ccis there any way to do that in TS2 too ?

There isn't a limit on it, that I know about. Still, the more sub-folders you have the slower; the bigger the name of the folders and the CC the slower. http://simswiki.info/wiki.php%3Ftitle%3DGame_Help:Organizing_Custom_Contenthttps://www.reddit.com/r/thesims/comments/2buitv/tip_rename_your_sims_2_cc_to_improve_load_times/

I don't know. I've not seen any information on how deep the game can handle the folders. I don't go more than 4, myself, and never have had any problems- only bad CC problems. :(Can you organize it to only 4 deep?

Just chiming in as I've heard of this problem before (though I cant now recall where, probably here on the forums sometime). And from what I recall of what I read, the advice was not to put things into CC folders more than 3 deep.I'd suggest trying that, see if it helps?

Thanks for chiming in, @Serendipity38 :mrgreen: It's very helpful, imo. :cookie:

I heard there wasn't a limit, but I only go three or four deep myself so I have never had a issue.

Some of my custom content is not showing up in CAS. Specifically male hair. The hair that I have previously downloaded works and all female hair works, just not new male hair. I know it's not because of the creator because of all of the male hair mods (including the ones that work) are from the same two creators. I also know it is not a resource.cfg issue as I have already checked that it is at the latest patch and my folders are not deep anyway. I also know it's not a compatibility issue because I took out all of my hair mods (leaving just the new ones) and the new mods still did not work.

I'm really in the dark here, and I completely understand if you can't help me, but I thought I would try to ask you anyway. Thanks!

I would go back to where you downloaded them, and see if you need a separate mesh. Also make sure they are for sims 2, downloading for a different version of the game is easier then you think! :D

Make sure when you install cc you see the file called Mesh included. But some creators make the mistake (sometimes) of naming their meshes the same thing...that can also be a problem. Make sure you have the last CEP installed.
