Re: Sims 4 Corrupted CC
@sanais_gae Unfortunately, this is not a *game* bug but a problem with user created CC. Many CC pieces become problematic with any new patch, as do mods. That's because they rely on things that have to be changed by the patch (often to correct real bugs.) I wouldn't be surprised if anything skin or makeup related became "broken" lately because EA had to do a *major* update to skin and makeup (at the request of a large number of Simmers.)
To figure out which is a problem, it's recommended that you do the 50/50 method. First, remove all your CC/mods (and put them on the desktop for later.) Also delete the localthumbcache.package. Restart your game to make sure it works fine without any CC. Then exit. Put half of your CC in the mod folder and restart your game. If the game has no problem, then the CC was not in that batch. Take it out and put in the other half. Restart.
If at some point you find a problem, then you do the 50/50 on that batch, winnowing down until you find the problem piece.
If you already know that a piece is a problem, you can also deliberately put it on a Sim in CAS. Then use the Sim 4 Tray importer to remove the offending piece (or find missing pieces such as meshes. You can find it easily, as well as instructions for removing things, with Google or other search engine.)
You might also want to keep an eye on the Broken/Updated Mods and CC thread on the official site. They usually make one for each update. It looks at which pieces are now broken or obsolete and often have links to replacements.
