Thank you. Sure you can get it to work if you understand Saved Sims file. O.K. when you create a Sim in Bodyshop those are your saved Sims. They may be wearing any custom content you have on them and that cc is in your Downloads folder. O.K. if you delete that cc or don't have that particular Downloads folder containing your CC they were wearing they may appear in CAS but without the CC. But they themselves are saved into the Saved Sims folder. Follow me so far? Alright, if you create any cc or recolors in Bodyshop those are saved into your Saved Sims folder. That's why if you put back in your old Saved Sims folder (and it contains your own cc or recolors) those Sims will show up in CAS but not if you had CC on them that you downloaded from some other creator and it is no longer in your Downloads folder.
Hope that makes sense. Saved Sims are those Sims you created in bodyshop with your own cc or recolors and possibly some cc from others, like makeup etc. But usually the meshes they have on from other people should be in your 'old' Downloads folder.
