CC back in CAS after update - but not on my sims

Hey,

I’ve managed to get most of my cc to show up in CAS again after the update conflict, but all my sims who used to wear said cc are still walking around bald and undressed. Will I really have to redress and custom each and every in-world sim (seeing as I don’t have a pre-update save file, being too new to the game to having learned things the hard way until now)?

Being a newbie I also lack experience with post-update patches and such, so I have no idea what to expect in terms of fixes from both EA and cc/mod creators.

I’m coming to terms with a few weeks worth of work probably being lost due to my own lack of foresigh here, but figured I’d ask the veterans just in case 🙂

  • @fooshiablix  If you really have no saves from before the custom content was removed from your sims, then yes, you'll have to reapply all the items.  The data in the save doesn't include what the sims used to be wearing, just what they're wearing now, so there's no way for you to force-revert them to their prior wardrobes.

    However, Sims 4 itself keeps the last five versions of a save file before the current one as backups.  You can try restoring one, either manually or through the in-game interface:

    You might lose some progress since the patch, but maybe the tradeoff will be worth it.
