Broken CC? Let me fix it for you!
You ever download a new piece of custom content that looks perfect in the pictures online...only to get in-game and see this: https://i.imgur.com/05WiJKz.png?1 Well, I can fix that! So I figured I'd offer my services to any of you here - Link me to the CC you want that looks wonky in game and I'll repair it and send you the fixed version. :smiley: CC I can fix Clothing Shoes Accessories I haven't learned how to work with hair, so don't send it to me. :lol: Problems I can fix CC items enabled for age groups they shouldn't be enabled for. Like this: http://i54.tinypic.com/1zodete.jpg CC items that explode in-game. Like this: https://i.imgur.com/05WiJKz.png?1 CC items that aren't properly morphed. (CC that doesn't increase in size to accommodate sims larger or smaller than default size). And just some final notes: Firstly, I won't go through adfly or similar links to get CC. If what you want fixed goes through adfly, please link me the simsfileshare/mediafire/dropbox/etc link and not the adfly link. And, secondly and finally, I will do whatever it takes to fix this stuff for you guys. I know how frustrating it is to find CC like this that is obviously broken, but released anyway. With some CC, that might mean that it'll take me a bit longer to properly fix it. So I ask that you be patient. :smile: With that said, send me all you got! I'd be happy to help! :smile:20KViews2likes872CommentsIssue with eye mesh/sliders
Recently I opened up my game after a long break and noticed something odd. I use the awT sliders that change your sims pupil size to make them smaller and more realistic. When I loaded my game though, I noticed that the eyes were large again, but when I load into CAS the mod still works and the eyes are small again. I haven't added or removed anything to my game that could cause this...just curious if anyone else who uses this may have experienced it or know how I can fix it. Thanks!A question about conflicts
I have some Cc windows that don’t work. Other folks say they work in their game and I must have something that conflicts with them in mine so they don’t work. I’ve been told I need to uninstall and reinstall all my CC to find this conflict. This would be quite an undertaking so I want to clarify something before I start. If the file I’m having issues with is content produced by another player, that doesn’t mean the conflicting file is not an “official” file does it? Or that just because the file is for a window, the problem might not be another window. It could be a door or a painting, or a petunia or a tattoo for a Sim’s backside, couldn’t it? I’m just trying to figure out how involved this process is.Pattern Hoarder Tutorial
Ah... I'm not really sure if this is the right forum to post this, but there doesn't seem to be any other forum that even slightly deals with this sort of thing, so... I made a tutorial to cover all the things people like me who like to hoard custom patterns (I have at least 500 in my game), can do to 1) install their patterns as .package files (even if they came from the exchange), and 2) keep track of their patterns and pattern creators to make it easier to credit the pattern creators and delete patterns you no longer want. Installing a pattern as a .package file involves a bit more work than other custom content, especially if it's a multi-layer pattern, which this tutorial also covers. (That's actually why I wrote it... none of the other pattern tutorials covered multi-layer patterns.) So, here's hoping it's useful to a few people.

so i want to uninstall some specific objects from the launcher, however they are all number/letter combos, how do i locate specific items through those codes? like lets say i want to uninstall an evening dress, but looking through all the launcher files they are all codes like 4exc98scd34 etcCustom Sim passed to me through Simport!
So I am dealing with another technical malfunction with Showtime (can't interact with one of my sims anymore) and I decide to try to start a new game to see if this is happening with new games as well and I go to create a household and there is a new custom sim in my bin.... The one I just hosted through a Simport! Ok, so earlier today I hear a report from a friend that they have a youtube video of them hosting a show and receiving custom content in the form of custom lip gloss and 2 other make up items from third parties passed through on the sim that they had hosted. NOW I find that not only is THAT possible but I have had an entire SIM passed to me and I sat in on a live chat with 3 Simgurus telling us that custom content could NOT be passed through simport. Are viruses next?15KViews1like220CommentsBad CC - Instructions on how to find it and how to get rid of it (including list)
There is a new thread I help in @AnswerHQ. This is mostly to ensure it's continuance should EA ever decide to close this forum. You can find the new thread here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/HOW-TO-Find-and-remove-bad-custom-content-CC/td-p/2759940/ http://www.crinrict.com/blueRuler.jpg Broken CC Objects with Patch 1.26/Pets Many objects that have slots seem to be broken (actually the slots are). This is an issue that has per se nothing to do with EA, so I would like to keep the discussion about it out of this thread. If you want to know more about this issue or have some extra info, please use this thread: Slots broken on all CC, except store stuff --> Please check TSR for a fix: http://www.thesimsresource.com/fixyourgame/ If you have your Store content installed any other way then by downloading from the EA site and installing through your launcher then you will need to redownload the stuff from your purchase history and install again through the launcher. Otherwise the Store fix is not working. http://www.crinrict.com/blueRuler.jpg What is this thread about? A lot of Households/Sims/Lots contain custom content (CC) that is either bad or that you don’t want. Some of them are very hard to find in the launcher for they look nothing like the picture you see in CAS and unfortunately you can delete them in CAS directly. There are methods, tools and lists around that can help you find and avoid this CC . The intention of this thread is to give you links to those and help you if you have problems understanding them. This thread is not for spoon feeding you every step that is already described again. If you have troubles understanding, be specific in your questions. This thread is also for helping you with CC that is not listed anywhere and that you can't find. Please check the available lists first before posting and if you feel up-to it, try the method described below to find out yourself. My time is limited and I have many other projects, so please do me the courtesy and READ before posting. Thank you. What is bad CC? Bad CC is Custom Content that harms your game. One should distinguish between unwanted and bad CC. Unwanted CC is CC YOU don't like but others very well might want while bad CC is C no one should use for it can harm your game. There are the following kinds of bad CC: - CC that is categorized for too many age groups and both genders - CC that is categorized for wrong ages and/or naked - CC that crashes/freezes your game - CC that causes the blue lot issue - Clothing that colors on other parts (only listed in German, see the FAQ for more info) - CC that hides in other CC - Tight Arms (unsure if still an issue, only in German) - CC hair that looks terrible (not listed, FAQ) - CC windows/doors that crash the game since LN (not listed) - CC that comes with Sims (list to be made) - Simply badly done CC (not listed) There's also CC that likes to attach to everything you upload whether you use it or not but there are so many of those that I can't list all of them When putting CC in your game, always remember that corrupt CC can crash your game, slow it down and maybe cause your launcher not to work properly. How do I get rid of that CC ? Please refer to this blog post for information on that - TUTORIAL: How to get rid of unwanted Custom Content - TUTORIAL: How to find a certain download in your Launcher - CUSTARD: Downloads that are attached to Sims directly - TUTORIAL: How to keep a Sim but get rid of the CC it came with - Game Help:TS3 Finding Problem Custom Content How can I avoid CC I don't want? When you download something from the Exchange, always use the Add To Game button and not Save as. Save as corrupts the thumbnails and you can't install the stuff. Add to Game will no longer install the content automatically so you can check it before installing. Check all Households/Sims/Lots before you install them. There's a tool called Custard/CleanInstaller by Delphy that can help you check your stuff. Instructions can be found here: TUTORIAL: Delphy's Custard For Package-Files there's another tool called Dashboard, also by Delphy that can pinpoint you in the right direction: TUTORIAL: Delphy's Dashboard (not adjusted to the newest version of the tool) Both tools can only help you with some errors. There are many errors that can't be detected. If the tools say it's safe, that isn't necessarily true. Where is the CC installed that I see in my game All CC can be found in Documents\ElectronicArts\TheSims3. There are two different kinds of CC. Packages and Sims3Packs. Sims3Packs are the only ones that show up in your launcher. Packages are installed a different way. Please check this thread for details: How-To-Install CC/Mods "The New Way" Guide. This thread is mostly about Sims3Packs. Sims3Packs are containers for package files. When you double click on such a file a few things happen: - The Sims3Pack gets copied to the Downloads folder and then shows in Downloads in the launcher - The Package-Files inside (they all have long numbers) get unpacked to the DCBackup folder. They do almost nothing (see FAQ below) - The Package-Files inside get compressed together and installed to the files *.dbc (or *.ebc for Store). Files that are installed here, show up in your Launcher. For further info on your user files, check this: Game Help:TS3 User Folders Explained You could, in theory, move the Package-files from DCBackup to the mods folder and use them like package files but a lot of Package-Files are bad for your game performance so if it weren't for the launcher, Sims3Packs are actually better to use then package-Files. If you have any further questions, please consult the FAQ before posting.252KViews1like1401CommentsWalls start to glitch, then game closes.
Hello. I'm building like a madman and now the game has closed 3 times already without a warning. At the 3th time I saw the walls were glitching, like half invisable. Tried to drag those walls, then it closed again. Anyone know what might be the problem?45Views1like4Comments
