Deleted CC Files No Longer Loading

Hello. I recently deleted all the CC files in my Mods folder (CAS/BuildBuy) It permanently deleted everything from my pc but I was able to restore them using a third party source. However my game no longer loads with the items. I’m getting a message that is identifying each file individually as corrupt. I’ve checked with a third party file checker and can’t find any corruption. Help Please.

  • @MelodiiRenee Have you tried getting a new download from the source and installing it in a clean ( non corrupt saying ) mods folder?
    If it worked, then the third party is most likely not actually restoring.
    (which honestly, I am pretty sure is the case )
  • @MelodiiRenee First, always, always download your content from the creator, not a third party source. This is really important for making sure you have the most recent version of a file. There is a LOT of old, broken CC on the internet. And you'll find more of it if you're not at the creator's site.

    Second, you may have duplicates, Zip or .rar files, Sims 3 files, or outdated/broken files in there.

    When you redownload your content, add it to the game in batches not all at once. This will help you find content that's outdated or that doesn't belong for some other reason.

    I also recommend keeping an eye in the future on the Broken/Updated Mods lists here. I include CC on them when newly broken things come to attention.
