CC Problems: Sims not appearing in My Library
This has been driving me absolutely crazy! I've downloaded a lot of custom made Sims and packages ect.. I place everything where it's supposed to go. Mods/packages in the Mods folder and tray items...

It sounds like basic child's play, and really it should be. You DL a compressed file that contains the various stuff you need hair, clothes ect... This includes the household info and what have you that goes into the Tray folder. You decompress to the relevant folders.
With me so far?
I can physically see all the info in the right folders, what I'm not seeing is the content when I boot up the game. This is after I've ticked all the various boxes to view.
What I'm apt to do at this point is to back up all Mods and CC. Then reinstall the game itself and do a gradual replacement of content. Bit by bit.

So you're downloading some kind of assembled... combo... archive file? Something someone threw together that contains all the files? Tray files, cc files...etc?
Never heard of something like that. The gallery won't work, so doing it like that I suppose is the only sure way to get your sim out with all the CC. Sounds like it would have problems, and I can think of a few.
Not sure I'd be willing to trust the CC content. Most CC is broken from the start. Never actually saw one myself that wasn't broken. And I have thousands.
Well, if you're putting the files in the right places and the sims don't show up, then the tray files are bad. Maybe for a different Sims 4 version? I have no idea if they would even be compatible. We'd likely need a Dev to answer that. Are tray files even compatible between different Sims 4 versions? Expansion packs? Legacy vs non-legacy?
You said it comes with CC items, and you're putting those in the Mods folder. Do you see those items in CAS? They should show up even if your "imported" tray files aren't working. Like if it comes with CC hair, is the hair an available option in CAS?
Where did you get the "archive" you were trying to install? I wouldn't mind trying it myself.
Don't post any links though. It'll just get deleted. I wouldn't mind trying it just for my own curiosity. PM me the details. I can at least tell you if the files are good. That'll rule the problem to something in your own game.
