Custom Content still shows but not in CAS?

I'm not understanding the problem. ETA: Reread, o.k. I would guess you need to remove all the new stuff you just downloaded and start from the beginning. If you didn't have a problem before your binge, then of course it's something in the binge download. I go on binges, too, and have learned to test a small folder one at time.

What I mean to say is that I downloaded a load of CC last night and when I went on to my game (CAS option, or mirror option to change Sim's appearance)...NONE of my CAS custom content appears (old and new). It all went away, hair, makeup included. However, furniture and gameplay modding remained. I literally have NO idea why this happened. Hope this makes more sense.

CAS assets aren't the same thumbnails as object thumbnails. Remove all the new custom clothes, hair, makeup etc. and test on thing at a time as you move it back into your game. ETA: Delete the Cigen package files, Open thumbnails and delete CAS thumbnails, too.

Thank you for the advice. I took out all my CC packages that were CAS assets and tried them on bit by bit, but nothing shows up anymore. Again, only objects/gameplay mods. So, I then moved all my packages to a separate, spare folder and added in new CAS CC into my downloads folder, yet not even that will show up. Maybe my game is corrupted? In that case, would you recommend I restart the game? (luckily this is on my other laptop where I only have up to two generations, so it's not much of a loss).

No, don't bother repairing game etc. If nothing is showing up do you have CEP installed? I guess you do if you have some custom objects, right? And some custom content can wind up in the Saved Sims folder if you saved a Sim wearing that cc, (your old cc) but then didn't add those back into a downloads folder. Frankly, it sounds like you don't have the meshes or a recolor or vice versa, and or didn't open all the package files.

I can help test some of it today if you want to say where you got the cc and what site? I can download it to see if there are meshes in them or if you misread something. ETA: Is this a custom mirror in your game? Maybe it's glitched.

Sigh, I know that, I thought they said some interactions etc. show up then don't show up,, which I assumed was object interactions.

Was clarifying what the CEP did for the OP and other readers browsing the forum in case they didn't know so they would know why you backtracked on CEP being the issue.

:smirk: (some days we have brain farts)

.....but maybe it's the custom mirror ?????? :D

@real_kathrynann The items matter as there are some items that require meshes and those would be hairs and clothes if they aren't recolors of Maxis outfits or hairs. And that would be a common reason why some CC is not showing up.

Or you forgot to unpack it accidentally if it was in a compressed folder would be the other common thing and that could happen to any type of CC.

Some makeup and some eyebrows etc. will not work on some skins, if any of those should be missing. You would have to flip through several skins to possibly make some eyebrows and some makeup show up. It depends on the custom skin, or the skin the creators used especially for some eyebrows etc. And some eyebrows etc. won't show up on some skins depending on hair color. The eyebrow may not have been binned to all hair colors or only worn with a custom color or style. That's just the way things work with some of this stuff.

Also, are you sure the clothes are for all ages? It may be that some outfits were for teen or YAs. But I've had a mod installed for years that allows all of Uni clothes to be worn by adults and even some teen clothes to be worn by adults so I tend to forget that they don't show up on an adult unless a mod is installed. You may have to switch through all ages to make sure.

CEP would be if it was the EA object recolors not showing up. CEP doesn't affect CAS items.

CEP allows for players to create custom recolors of EA meshes for objects.
