I can't see my CC in CAS and in live mode I cant see my sims or their thoughts.

This is hard to explain so here is a picture to show you what I mean.

As you can see, the thumbnail to my CC is blocked off with a red X. I can't see what my CC is unless I click on it. 

When I am in live mode, the same thing will happen to my sims so I can't see their faces, moods or their thoughts.

Does anybody know what this is?

  • Hi @Kndiaye100  

    Mainly, it'll be a cc or mod that is outdated, so there's some fixes in the spoilers below.. The first step I'd take is the Sims 4 Studio with the batch fixes (S4S not just for 'cc makers' 😉 ) I'm sure I remember they have that as one of the 'batch 'fixes' as well.. the thumbnails, I keep the S4S handy and always grab the new versions for the Sims Updates/packs to correspond.

    Spoiler

     I use 1000's of cc & mods, but keep them updated regularly, and set them up in different folders to sort when an issue arises such as Sims Game Update or adding a pack. (note, my game loads in a couple of minutes)

      • Apart from culling your folders one by one, or the  50/50 method, to narrow down the broken cc or mod, that is all you can do, (restarting and checking your game each time) you'll simply need to find the broken mod/cc it and remove it.

      

      • Mods & cc are well known to cause various in-game issues please check for updates to them / where you found them; do this also > after any sims update or adding a game pack,

      

      

      

      • I use Sims 4 Studio for batch fixes it solves a lot of problems in bulk (but not all.) It's also available for Mac.

      

      • Dimitry's Mod Conflict Detector at mod the sims is good too, (but only for Windows not Mac - so if you have access to one, you could copy your Mods folder and check them that way) as you may have accidentally downloaded some Sims 3 / 2 items is not always going to be an obvious thing.. (as to 'why' if you haven't yet even tried to 'use' a cc in game)It will  detect duplicates and 'wrong game' cc.. and sorts it via highlighting in bright colors.
         

    Let me know if you still have problems.

    Hope this helps, Sasha

    @imamtheonlyqueen, we just had a couple of patches so your CC/Mods could be out of date.  I would go back to where you got them and see if and when the creators will update the items to work with the new patches EA released to the game. 😉
