sims are pitch black, repairing doesn't help
hello! i installed mods for sims 3 recently and couldn't for the life of me figure out which mod was causing black sims after CAS, so i removed all mods and factory reset + repaired my game. i have ...

@oompypoo Pitch-black skin is typically caused by custom content, not a mod per se. But even after you've removed the problem cc, you'd still need to assign a new skin to affected sims, which you can do by taking them into CAS. Some mods allow CAS editing; without mods, you can bring up the cheats console (crtl-shift-C) and enter testingcheatsenabled true , then shift-click on a sim and select "Edit in Create a Sim."
Reinstalling the game doesn't change anything and isn't necessary because this issue exists only in the user files, as in, the Sims 3 folder in Documents > Electronic Arts. At most, you'd need to create a clean folder by moving the existing one elsewhere and allowing the game to spawn a fresh copy, but even that may not be necessary in this case.
- @puzzlezaddict thank you so much for the reply, however i have already made a clean folder and the problem remains. changing the skin doesn't do anything, i don't have any cc in the game (which is what i meant by mods, sorry for not clarifying).
@oompypoo Just to clarify, are all sims affected, or only the ones you make in CAS? If you start a new save in a clean folder, are the sims you make in that save, or other sims that already exist, affected too?
Please also run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

@puzzlezaddict every sim is affected by it, including in a clean folder. dxdiag has been attached!
