Some (but not all) CC not showing up in game

Hello, I'm new to the forum and I need some help with my custom content. I'm not sure exactly which custom content, but I'm sure some custom content isn't appearing in my game. I downloaded lots of CC for girls and lots for other genders and they just will not show up. Although most of my CC usually shows up, this is really confusing me. Thanks for any help that anyone gives me.

Hello.
The cc that is not showing up may have been broken due to a game patch. Try going back to the sites where you downloaded them from and check to see if other simmers are having issues with the cc also. You could also test by redownloading the files and see if that helps. Check to make sure that the cc is not for Sims 2 or Sims 3. Some cc require the original mesh to be installed as well so try checking on the download sites to see if you need to also have the original mesh.
Make sure that you have taken the files out of the zipped folder, then put them into the mods folder.

Also, welcome to the forums! :)

If you downloaded a recolor, that shows up as a thumbnail under the original piece of clothing. Could that be the issue? Have you gone into CAS and done a search by CC to see if the item(s) are there. It will show recolors as well.

Also, with the missing items, go back to the site you found them on and make sure you don't need to download a mesh for it to show up.

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure I can't pinpoint the authors of the custom content I downloaded. I'll try to find them tomorrow, but it will be hard.

Hello.
If some of the cc are default replacements, there will only be one version that will appear in CAS. You can only use/have one default replacement of a cc item at a time in your game. Perhaps some of your cc may be default replacements?

I'll check for it. Sorry for a late reply.

You might try googling for the exact filenames, maybe it would lead you to the creator's website or blog or something. Just an idea I had. May not be practical if you have a LOT, but, it would probably give you a place to start.

Maybe I'll use a trick for detecting corrupted custom content a user used in a post here. Anyway, thanks!

Hello.
Try moving your mods folder to the desktop. Start the game and a new mods folder will be generated. Exit the game. Then put the cc one by one or in batches back into the game, and test if they show up in the game or are causing issues. Put one item or batch in , test the game , then take it out. Then keep doing the same thing.

I agree with above about updates breaking some CC. You may also have one mesh sharing different names, if this is so only one will show. Doing what rosemow said will help and/or a bit of research to find which creator is using which mesh may help also. I hope you get it sorted out :-)
