Re: custom content eyebrows, but I never download CC

@kreatoraI’m so sorry, that’s not them. I wish I saw that! Then I wouldn’t even have to wonder where they came from because they look like other EA eyebrows but thank you endlessly though.

I think this further confirms that it’s definitely cc. I hate to keep harping on the texture, but the ones I have look like bad cc, absolutely flat, no hairs or details, shadows or light, it’s pretty bad.
Even when my sim has standard black hair, the thumbnail will always have orange eyebrows, even when set to match hair colour, an even when not selected, but not the other eyebrows in my game. It definitely performs differently, so with that being said, how in the world can I get them out?

@PerfectPlumbobs So you're saying that these eyebrows show up in a completely clean game folder, with no added content whatsoever? There's no need to reinstall the game; removing the Sims 4 folder from Documents\Electronic Arts is enough. Custom content is installed into this folder, so if you don't put anything in there, you won't have any cc.

And I'd still like to see a screenshot of the eyebrow you're referencing. If your in-game screenshot function doesn't do justice to the eyebrow, put your game in windowed or windowed borderless mode, click somewhere on your desktop, then hit Windows key-shift-S, and drag your cursor over the section of screen you want to capture. You can then open Paint or another image-editing app, and ctrl-V to paste the image. Please attach it to a post, so I can compare it with my own game.

Hi! thank you so much for your constant help. I took your advice, started removing the folder, and then when they still showed up I deleted all the packs and began downloading them one by one. Turns out they show up with Realm of Magic. If anyone has that pack and can verify this is what theyre supposed to look like and I don't have a weird half rendered version of them with incorrect thumbnails, that'd be awesome. So sorry for the false CC alarm
(the eyebrows are the ones in the top left corner)

@PerfectPlumbobsThose are in game normally. They're not CC.
Normally CC is indicated by a wrench on the icon:
However, for some reason my own CC eyebrows don't have the wrench. Bug maybe?
Those eyebrows though are NOT cc.

@Psychotps Thank you so much! Do you have any idea why the thumbnail has the orange swatch and the rest are black? Just wondering

@PerfectPlumbobs Not sure. Likely just a minor mistake. They probably just got the swatches on that one out of order from the rest. It's not a big deal, just breaks consistency a little.
