Re: Some CC wont show up in CAS

@ttynnie when you say a set, I think you mean both were updated at the same time and you expect either none or both to work, right?

You could try to move your mods folder out of your the sims 4 file, restart the game and then move your mods over to the new folder. Don't replace the new config file though.

If that does not work:
When you look at the CC set that's supposed to work (but doesn't) for example, is one of them a lot smaller in size than the other? Or does it maybe show a different extension?

  • @DeanXeL yeah thats what i mean

    and thats what i did with the mods folder i deleted the one i had and opened the game, and then put my cc to the new folder the game created

    and the size difference in the sets case isnt big and has the same extension

    also the ccs that wont show up arent old or anything most of them are from this or last year. the oldest i have are from 2015 and they do show up in cas. the ones that dont are all pretty new 

  • @ttynniealright
    Take out your entire The sims 4 folder, just move the CC from the set in, nothing else. Start the game, start a new save, do they both load?

  • @ttynnie so completely blank The Sims 4 folder aside from both CC, right?

    could you PM me a link to the CC maybe? I'll check them too in my game 🙂
  • @DeanXeL ok i put the sims 4 folder on my deskop and it forced me to open a new game, also the ccs just werent there, it was like i dont have any cc (i looked in the cc list)

  • @ttynnie yep, that's supposed to happen, aweome!

    When you copy the 2 CC you sent to me from the desktop file in the mods folder of the newly generated sims 4 folder, launch the game and start a save (or if you saved now, launch this new save), do they both show up? (for me they did)
  • @ttynnie and you didn't move anything from the old folder except those 2 CC files, right?

    When you loaded, still just the new save and no other CC visible?
  • @ttynnie can you redownload both cc's, replace them and check again? (just to make sure)

    also, do you use a cloud sync (onedrive maybe?)
  • i re downloaded them but still just that one shows up 

    and i dont use any could sync

  • @ttynnie okay, only one path left I can take.
    Any third party antivirus or just the default one (windows defender for windows)?

    @ttynnie  I don't know what custom content items are being discussed here (and as a rule, it's fine to name third-party downloads as long as they don't include adult content; no download links though).  But I wanted to mention a couple of potential pitfalls not covered here.  One is that perhaps the item only shows up in a certain category, and you need to open that category or dismiss a certain filter.  In that case, perhaps @DeanXeL could post where they found the item in CAS.

    The other issue that comes to mind is that perhaps the missing item requires a pack that you don't own.  If that's possible, please list the packs you have installed, or the ones you don't have installed if that's a shorter list.  @DeanXeL  You've already tested plenty, and I'm not suggesting you need to do any more.  But if you're still curious about the cause, you could disable the relevant packs and see whether the item still shows up for you.  The cc download page should list any required content as well, but not all creators are careful about that.

    @puzzlezaddictYeah you're right, I just asked the item in a DM, cause I wasn't sure. Good to know.

    To answer:
    They were both shoes, I checked them in sims4studio too, nothing special about them (same sim categories, same shoe item category)...

    They're 'basegame' and they had to be to show up for me, since I don't have anything else (except desert luxe) 🙂

    If you want, I can forward you the link to the items, if you want to check them out yourself?

    edit: [CM Edit: Link removed]

    They tried the crystal sandals and the leather pumps. The pumps would never show up. I even merged them in one package and had them try that one file, but still, only the sandals would show up. Makes me think you might be right with it being something about the actual CC that could be causing, it, but I wouldn't know what... I'm not that well-versed in CC either
