I was wondering where are our Create-a-Style content recolors. There have been times where mine have simply disappeared from the game after an EP or patch installation. I would certainly back them up if I could, but I have no idea where they are stored.
If you hit "share" when you create or recolor the item in CAS , that will go to "exports" folder , also launcher, you can copy and save the sims3 pack from exports uploads folder under documents, to a desktop folder or cd disc, that's how I do it.
A bit of extra work, but definitely worth it if you want to make sure you don't lose the item.
It will only keep what you have installed already, so for instance if the first time you had a custom pattern under "mods" , but then uninstalled and reinstalled game without the extra pattern, it will not be there the second time.
