Weird Issue with Missing Tray Files
Does anyone know what causes some tray files to simply disappear? This has happened to both Sims and Lots.
I didn't think anything about it at first, I just noticed that some of my sims I had D/L'd from the gallery I could no longer place in CAS so I just thought maybe the original creator had deleted it or something.
Then when I was re-doing my Oasis Springs, I noticed that when I was trying to place some of the lots I had in my library they did NOTHING, the screen sort of went a little faded and the game locked up and I had to do a Ctrl+Alt+Del to shut the game down (this was in Manage Worlds).
So I loaded the game back up and tried again, only this time trying to place the lot from the actual lot and again nothing happened at all (but at least it didn't lock up). Going back to Manage Worlds didn't show the lot I tried to place, so I just skipped it.
I was getting a little irritated because it seemed like every lot I wanted to place was doing this, so I got to investigating those lots with the Sims4Tray importer and several (well actually more than several) of my lots/sims have missing files.
Like the missing file is in red text so I know what's missing but I have no idea how they got deleted. I DO move the files in and out of my Tray folder a LOT when there's an update or a new pack but I keep everything all together.
I'm OK with having to re-D/L new sims and lots, but I am hoping for some insight into what caused this in the first place (and preferrably how to prevent it from occurring again) so I don't waste time re-D/L'ing everything only to have it happen again.
***EDIT***
I forgot to mention that his is a newly generated TS4 folder and I have no mods/CC in my Mods folder.
