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, mainly CAS items. I use the TSR CC Manager but I also have separate CC in my mods folder. Some of them just don't seem to disappear from the game. I've literally tried everything, I've read every possible solution and tried it as well:

I tried to repair the game, delete the localthumbcache file, I've uninstalled my game and re-dowloaded it, 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.

Today I literally made a copy of my mods folder to my desktop, deleted the whole Sims 4 folder and ran the game to generate a new sims 4 folder. I downloaded all my TSR CC and put it together with my normal CC in the mods folder while deleting it from the TSR CC Manager.

I went trough every single map, every single file in my mods folder using Sims4Studio and 1 by 1 placed them back in the Sims 4 mods folder. I didn't find the files anywhere in my folders yet they are still in my game ☹️

I don't know what to do anymore, I've literally tried everything, and I mean everything but they are still there.

Please, is there someone who can help?

    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!

    I wish someone told me this... click on the search bar on windows (if you're windows) and type in the name of the cc. It brought it up for me & I fixed my problem (FINALLY!).

    Just searching within the mods folder doesn't always work. It's better to search your whole device (laptop/ PC). ESPECIALLY if you are using TSR Downloader 🙂

    Hope this helps!!
