Lots missing CC
Hi Folks, So recently I decided to change most of the CC I have in my game, save from a few various objects and some furnished lots. Now when I first installed the lots (with the launcher) the lo...

@LaurenMarie2612 I honestly don't know enough about CC Magic to say whether it would interfere with content installed in other ways, or how to avoid it. It sounds like you're installing in a way that should work. However, one thing to note is that uninstalling content through the launcher doesn't remove it exactly: the uninstall process blocks the content, but the data is still there. So you're adding some complications to the process, including the potential for corrupt files or duplicates.
Right now, in your position, I'd uninstall the lots again, then remove all the .dbc files (bundled store content) from DCCache. The .ebc files are store content, so leave those alone. Make sure the lots are gone from Library too, although the uninstall process should at least remove those files. Then reinstall one lot and see whether the cc associated with it shows up. Be sure to delete the five cache files in your Sims 3 folder as well; they should be deleted any time you add or remove content from that folder. For reference:
- CASPartCache.package
- compositorCache.package
- scriptCache.package
- simCompositorCache.package
- socialCache.package
Yeah anytime I change anything on CC Magic i always delete the Cache files and do a complete clean re-install. It’s long winded but it’s better safe than sorry, then I only ever install launcher stuff after I’ve done the CC Magic stuff.
So yesterday I downloaded a couple of furnished lots just to test my method and they all work completely fine. All their CC shows up in my game no problem. So perhaps for some reason the lots I had saved have just kind of given up? I’m not sure what’s happened to them but I think I’m just gonna abandon them, delete them and move on haha.
Thanks for responding and your help though, I appreciate it.
