Re: Sim bathing in random clothes Maxis only, no CC.

Whenever you add, remove, or change mods, deleting the localthumbcache.package is good practice to prevent any lingering problems in your game from outdated info.

As for refreshing your folder without losing your stuff...Google "The Sims 4: Game Folder Refresh" and click on the YouTube video by Onyxangel in the results. I haven't watched it myself, but it's often posted in the MCCC Discord to tell people how to do it.

Also, back up your saves, Tray, Mods, and (if you wish) Screenshots folder to another drive, too.

Finally, you're welcome! 😃

    So, the problem came  back.  However, an earlier save and I was able to get things fixed.  If I went and fixed everything through S4S and the clothing packages are "clean"  or "fixed" how is it that the error could creep back?  Is it kind of a random thing?  How is it that bathing/nude outfits are created, and are they regenerated from time to time?

    In Sims4Studio, are certain CC things you fixed either are flagged as not fixed or they keep getting fixed even though they're supposed to be fixed? Get rid of those, they're broken beyond repair, I'm afraid. ☹️

    Also, was your nude mod a Default replacement for the original nude skin? Batch fixing those is a bad idea.

    Yeah, I am afraid it was.  I am gathering from your question, it is better to just go with the defaults or use a nude skin that I am absolutely sure is perfect.  As far as your first question, according to Sims4Studio everything has been fixed.  And when I try to run it again, it still comes back as fixed.  I don't really have all that many.  In addition to my script mods and the replacement skins, I only have 8 total clothing packages.

    It's up to you on the nude skin. Either or, I suppose. 🙂

    However, here's part of what EG The Watcher on MCCC Discord told someone just earlier today...

    "...in any case, recovering files from the Batch folders OR redownloading the affected cc can fix any problems. we usually recommend a DO NOT BATCH folder for default replacement cc.
     
    (just gotta remember to take it out...)"
     
    Oh! Another thing...
     
    "And when I try to run it again, it still comes back as fixed."
     
    Do you mean it says nothing needs fixed, or does it keep fixing it even though it's supposed to be fixed?

    It says that nothing needs to be fixed. As far as a nude skin, I can do research to see which ones the most people seem happy with. And if a scan comes back and says it doesn't need fixed, I guess that is a good sign.
