Hi, my game has been crashing every time I start it up, so was lucky enough to get into "plan outfits" to see if there was something in there (plus I wanted to see if the shirt I purchased showed up yet and it hasn't after downloading it 4 times) anyway, I saw something I didn't buy and clicked on it and it was the vampire t-shirt! So I went to my library to try and delete the Bad CC number that coincides with the Vampire and nothing comes up when I do a search. Does anyone know what the name coordinating numbers are to the Vampire T-shirt are and what it is called in my game uploads? I want this thing off my game :( Thanks all! Here is what I'm talking about : http://sims3.crinrict.com/badcc/en/BadCC_Clothing.htmlTop Row......Thanks!

Hello!Yep, I have experience the Vampire-Shirt problem recently. It started when I went crazy and started downloading loads of sims off of the Exchange. Downloading Sims is risky as sometimes you get a load of stuff that you don't even remember seeing, let alone downloading!So, the V-Shirt is something I put into No. 2 of my two categories of Bad CC, which is 'CC that cannot be got rid of so easily.' If I remember correctly, after going through a whole load of stuff in order to get rid of the V-Shirt, I found that one thing did it for me, although I'm not sure it will be the case for everyone! It was what someone else suggested on another forum. Because the V-Shirt does not appear in the 'installed content' tab in the Launcher, you have to make it show up. So what I did was went into my SavedSims Folder, (/ElectronicArts/TheSims3/SavedSims)and just deleted everything in the folder. To be honest, I didn't really expect it to work but when I went on the launcher (installed content) the picture showed up for it! Then I was able to delete the shirt and I have never had to face the V-Shirt problem since! You will be able to recognize the picture immediately as it is a really weird girl vampire (shown on crinrict's Bad CC page)If this doesn't seem to work, please reply and I will try and recall what other methods I used in order to get rid of it. :mrgreen: Hope this helped!*-*BethanyMay17*-*EDIT:If you want to see the forum I posted in when I had this problem, here's the link: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/546419.page

I tried the first thing you posted (deleting the installed content in my saved sims) then went back and launched the game and it still wasn't there :( So I thought I would try to just open the entire game and see if it was still in my clothing and the game just crashed....I followed the link you gave me but I am SOOOO lost lol...... Maybe you could try to tell me how you did it? I'm not extremely computer savvy but I have gotten rid of bad CC before. I don't even know where this came from the only thing I have downloaded recently was a house that I had problems with so I deleted it, maybe the contents were hidden in the lot? Either way it's ruining my playing time lol....Thanks SO much for your help! xo

Update, I did find the Vampire shirt in my game uploads.....deleted it but my game is still crashing so I don't know what to do without deleting the package number, there must be a new one......

My guess would be that you downloaded something that has interfered with your game and when it runs, it just crashes.My suggestion? Hmm, well instead of removing ALL your CC as a first resort(which would be a pain) I would not suggest doing, because for one thing, it is still not guaranteed it will work. And two, because it is annoying for you, especially if you've downloaded a lot of CC and it is only one piece that is causing the problem.I am not necessarily saying that the CC IS the problem, it is just a theory as a lot of the problems on the forums which include game crashes and freezing is to do with Bad CC. What I would suggest firstly, is that you open up the Launcher and click 'Installed Content'. Then, at the top there should be a little checkmark box which says 'Run without Custom Content'. Check the box and run your game again. If the game works, obviously you know it is something to do with the CC. <-- If it is that, tell me and we will go from there.If this doesn't work, close the game down and uncheck the 'Run without Custom Content' box. When you are still on the 'Installed Content' tab, look through the list and delete anything that comes up in the website you mentioned before,(http://sims3.crinrict.com/badcc/en/BadCC_Clothing.html) Don't forget that Bad CC may be 'hidden' (May have a different file name or a different picture to make it harder to locate) but hopefully that website should help. Also, make sure you are deleting the CC from 'Installed Content', not 'Downloads' as otherwise this will not remove it.Let me know if any of this works or not, and we will go from there! :mrgreen: *-*BethanyMay17*-*P.S: 1. What do you mean about the 'package number'? 2. Confused about the forum I posted in? Yup, I can sorta see why. Don't worry about it too much, it was just a written form of my problem at the time and I thought it might help a bit. Crinrict posted in this forum (the person who made the website I gave the link to) and I thought you might understand all the 'technical talk' as I call it better than I did at the time!Don't worry! I won't give up on you, we will find the solution to this :lol:

Hi! I cannot thank you enough for trying to help me <3 Okay, package number ie 0x6cd59455e4d12667fa7eb50bdda87cec.package when you delete the Vamp Shirt you then have to do a search for that number that coincides with it found here: http://sims3.crinrict.com/badcc/en/BadCC_Clothing.html It didn't come up before or after I found the Vamp shirt, so I'm confused usually if you have bad CC you can find the package number by doing a search on your computer, deleting it and then your game is good. I'm usually very diligent with my downloading and don't do much of it after my last fiasco and had to redo my entire game. yikes don't want to do that and I wish I had seen your post about the long lined baby because I had the same thing, it was that dumb Rose Horsey thing lol.....Anyway, I did run it without CC and it worked, but here's the problem, again I don't have much CC on my game but a lot of the stuff that I actually purchased from the store (not the EP's) was missing, even from my "buy option" in the game. All my Rabbit Hole (Mad Hatter items) and all the clothing and items I purchased were gone too :( So I can't run it without CC or anything I purchased won't show up. Here's another thing, one of the items I have in my CC are these overalls, I believe only ONE of them is the one that came with the Pets EP, there are others that I didn't download and every time I go to delete them it says I can't because the kids in the town or something (sorry didn't pay much attention, will try it again) however, they've been there forever and never have been a problem before......hmmm...lolOkay ready for the next round of instructions ;)

Not to rain on your Custard-less parade, but lots of recs and not being German or Russian doesn't mean it's clean. I've found GirlDollDressed on EA-featured downloads before. And my husband's just pointed out that one of the Sims sites I visited in the last few days on his PC almost installed a slew of viruses and Trojans on our system, according to his anti-virus thing. Wish I knew which site had done it! I don't visit very many and they all are big-name fan sites.

Custard's got a short readme on ModTheSims that you would do well to take the time to look over. It's not a hard program at all to learn to use.

For those who read the readme and are still lost:
0. You need to run this program to scan your downloads *BEFORE* you install the download into your game.
1. Open Custard. It'll bring up a scan window.
2. From its file menu navigate to the file you want to check and open it. If anything in there is red (excepting worlds, which always have red and won't scan quite right), it means a bad file. Don't bother fixing it; just toss it. "Thumbnails" are fine. "Sims 3 Package" is (I think) Store content which may show up as separate lines; AFAIK this should be okay and you needn't worry about it. CC is good about announcing itself and will have its code number (that super long number you've seen in this thread) and usually its name. If it's marked "Pattern" that can be either CC or Create-a-Pattern; CAP can make corrupt patterns, so I delete both to be on the safe side. "CAS parts" are CC clothes/skins/hair. Something marked "Object" is a CC object.
3. Once you've identified the CC in the file, click the line containing that CC to uncheck its little box. This may be terribly time-consuming on houses, especially Exchange and TSR houses (oh my GOSH they love loading those down with CC). Once you've unchecked the boxes of stuff you don't want, go to step 4.
4. If you unchecked any CC, hit file--> save.
5. Close the scan window. Open Custard again to do another scan.

You are then free to install the file in your game in the normal manner.

Another program, Dashboard, works to detect Blue Lot (a serious awful horrible corrupt file that can destroy your game) and find corruptions and conflicts between packages. I'm not totally sure what conflicts do but suspect they're behind that weird map view where your houses show up without roofs. I used to see conflicts a lot in AroundTheSims and VitaSims stuff; when I removed their objects (*especially* lights) from my game, it cut down on the "X-Ray House" thing a lot. It seems obvious to me that enough conflicts will likely cause crashes and other issues. Broke my heart, too. I love ATS and VS CC. Good luck on everything :)

Hi, yes I realize that the Custard program will not help me now, just hopefully in the future....

But for now, I've deleted almost all my CC and here are how my games are running with CC:

Showtime, won't load up and just freezes and crashes, can no longer access..........

Pets, my husband is a vampire, a veryyyyy creepy one not just a vampire lol (this has to be from the vamp shirt)

Ambitions, my husband is charcoal with blonde hair......

I haven't tried the other one in Nightlife but I'm sure it's messed up some how....

any suggestions on what Bad CC or what my next step should be? Thanks!
