Deleted CC still showing in game
Hi guys, I have a massive problem and I don't know what to do anymore. I use quite a lot of CC in my game but time after time I go on a little purge where I delete CC that I don't use anymore, main...

I don't understand... What's the problem?
"I've removed the mods folder, ran the game, they won't show and then when I put in my mods folder it's there again."
Obviously.
You remove the mods folder, they don't show. You put it back. They show. CC is in the mods folder. That's the way it works.
What's the problem?
The problem is, there isn’t a physical CC file for one of the CAS items ANYWHERE in the Mods folder, I’ve checked 1 by 1 and it’s still in the game, without having the file anywhere in my mods folder or any other folder for the matter of fact.
@slypydogWell, it's rather simple.
If you remove the mods folder and it disappears. If you put the mods folder back in and its there... there's no other option. The CC is in the mods folder somewhere.
You must have missed it. Maybe it's in a folder you missed? Maybe the file was renamed? I don't know. But it IS in there. Somewhere. You've already proven that yourself.- @slypydog I feel like you had the solution though. When you removed the mod folder, the CC was gone from the game and only appeared once you put the folder back. It is possible that the mod folder is bugged and deleting the folder entirely is the solution. The game will generate a new folder when you launch it so you don't have to worry about it having an impact on the game.
I have the same problem. I deleated some cc long time ago, but they still show up in the game. For me, the files don't even exist on the computer, or I just can't find them
@1PILK Please move the entire Mods folder to the desktop and delete localthumbcache.package, then see whether the custom content still shows up. If it doesn't, great, add the files you want to keep to the new Mods folder the game will have created.
If the cc is still present, you're likely looking at the wrong Sims 4 folder, as in, not the one the game is reading. Please use this guide to find the correct folder:

Hey,
I've now of course found the solution and hope this can help you too!
If you use TSR CC Manager that's the problem. Since this has happened I don't use it anymore and download straight to mods folder and I haven't had the issue since.
Essentially if you've had mods in the TSR CC Manager for a while, the become archived and what it does is it changes the file name to archive473459743 just a random name and that's why you can't find it anymore. I had to go through my whole mods folder to find them and delete them, so. if you are using the CC Manager fro TSR, I suggest you don't anymore and just add the CC you want to the basket and download as a batch zip file going straight to your mods!
Saves the headache of finding the files after!
Hope this helps!
ABSOLUTE LEGEND & LIFE SAVER!!
